Forest Service firefighting has become a circus.

I will read your article link. This is really hitting close to home for me this year...living in the woods instead of farmland and my son has a wonderful new girlfriend who works for the Forest Service as a firefighter. She is so very dismayed by the bureaucrats and eco freaks. She refers to the gun carrying rangers as "Twig pigs".

The rain has stopped for a bit, so I'm heading out to clear out some brush.
