As when Texas was burning and Perry asked for federal help and Obama denied it.
The last big wildfire (June, 2000) that nearly consumed the Hanford Area (burnt over 200,000 acres and threatened the Nuclear facilities) could have been prevented almost immediately. A car crashed along side the road started the fire, A truck hauling a D-9 bulldozer was close behind and started to unload, but BLM folks were near the scene and told him he could not cut a fire break on Federal land.
