*cough* (bullshit) *cough*
I wasn’t “trained” when I fought my first wild fire, I didn’t have a “Vehicle that squirts water”, and the old couple who were fixing to watch their house burn to the ground didn’t care that I wasn’t trained either.
Dangerous yes, but when you’re exhausted, no sleep, no help, and some asshat turns away help...
Not going to give a sermon here, but if we ain’t here to HELP each other, especially in situations like this, than what the hell are we here for?
Any good “Commander” would have know how to handle volunteers, we ain’t talking civillians here, and made use of them.
Something is real fishy about all this.
The feds would not help with the spring fires. baraq flew over them in West Texas to make a bs speech in El Paso about how safe our border is. baraq will send all kinds of federal help to his voters, but he has a special hatred for this state. Now the feds are coming in to fight the fires?
The fire captains won’t turn down help, but when the feds come in and send locals home? What’s up with that? The locals know the area.
something’s up.
