Yep, that's why I think injecting a PC agenda into firefighting is a deadly move.

It is.

And the wildfire in Oregon and Washington (where a lot of these crews will work most, although they can show up anywhere the need is once the fires get big) get tricky.

And then if we have a fire year like in 2000 with a need for hurricane help too, maxing out resources, it's going to be interesting. The bottleneck always is crew bosses. You can bring the national guard in, but they have to have trained crew bosses.

Some situations you can't just throw money at it and get an immediate fix. You have to have time to get the personnel trained. Thrwoing away good people seems stupid.
