I lived in AZ during the Rodeo-Chedesky fire. There are signs up in Payson that say “Thanks EnvironMENTALists!”
Well, actually the billboard was in Heber, my hometown. :)
I wrote about the fire and the environMentalists and testified about their tactics. My family home burned in that fire. It is one of the reasons I don’t trust this government one little bit.
They would have let that town burn if it wasn’t for the local citizens that went in and stopped the fires from burning more homes. (Some fire crews that were listed as being on the fire line were miles away “writing a fire plan.) Grrrr It still makes me mad.
That fire sparked a “quest for knowledge” and is one of the reasons that I learned about the attack from community organizers on this country!
