Thanks!
USFS, under the able “leadership” of Ophonybama appears to have managed a mole hill into a mountain!
And, there doesn’t appear to be much improvement since then!
“The number of federally contracted airtankers is down 70 percent since 2000, with just 13 now working through exclusive use agreements with the U.S. Forest Service. Helicopter support also has fallen significantly, with the agency unable to fill more than half the requests it received last year.” cf https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/too-few-fire-bombers-as-western-states-burn-this-summer/2018/08/19/a9b1c614-a337-11e8-83d2-70203b8d7b44_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.132f36d940f8
Perhaps POTUS will drain the USFS swamp?
Problem is, they have no political power in that state.
Sucks to live in a state that won’t take care of their citizens who don’t agree with the government.
Illegals get treated like entitled guests while citizens get screwed.
Maybe the emergency shutoffs did their job so they only charred instead of exploding - the car is pretty intact.
