I can guarantee you, you will have wildfire disasters
this summer in the US west.

But I cannot guarantee you won't have the Il-76s
around to help out.

You may wish to join the Forest Service effort in
keeping them out while you still have a chance. You
seem to fit the bureaucrat profile closer than you
do an emergency responder profile.

Of course. It's a matter of policy.

But I cannot guarantee you won't have the Il-76s around to help out.

Why would you guarantee we won't have them?

You may wish to join the Forest Service effort in keeping them out while you still have a chance.

Pray tell, why would I do that? I want nothing to do with the USFS.

Hogwash. I prevent problems instead of pretending (much less expecting) an emergency responder will protect my property. I live in fire adapted habitat that has been thinned and weeded for fifteen years. A fire here this summer would help me immensely. If there is a fire here this summer, I intend to take a walk and watch it. The only threat to me is my neighbor's eucalyptus grove three hundred yards from my house.
