Roger Hedgecock reading email from Air Natl Guard pilot posted in Orange county. Says they have a number of Blackhawks and they have been cross training with CDF.
Problems - a bit of animosity between them and civilian pilots. Says one time, "Here comes the enemy" was heard over the radio - meaning mil. pilots. Civ pilots - They get paid for the fires - incentive is to work more and drag out the fire. ANG guy says We will sit idly by while the fires are out of control. CDF-They are in bed with the civ. operators. Civ operators charge lots of $$$ for their services.
Telling Roger to investigate this.
Saying he thinks about this fire, no number of assetts probably could have averted this damage this time because of winds, dark etc.
