The wind was really strong yesterday, blowing in all sorts of directions, changing all the time. I *imagine* it was like that down there, too, and just overcame them WAY too fast.
These guys were SO highly trained I doubt ??? their superior would’ve let them be compromised.
But...I know nothing about the procedures...
I’m sure all caution was in the mind set!
My idea of fighting this fire is pop as many dozers needed in there, 5 mi out and cut a fire break and set a back fire!
This may seem arm chair but 6 dozers can cut a 4 lane dirt road in about 8 hrs with others pushing the debries back into
the back fire. I’m only talking about what is to be saved and then work on the perimeter.
I know nothing about forrest fire.Both my son’s are professional fire fighter’s and my husband is retired.I have not read the reports ,I don’t want to.The pro’s know when to hold and know when to fold.I say to the kids listen to the old guys.Prayers in a special way tom.for these brave Hero’s and holding there families close to our hearts.((((Hugs)))
