I may live in California, but I am a native Texan. They need help and California is ready to give it. Only a fool would say no.

This morning (well yesterday now)Perry was on Fox and Friends and he had said California was sending a tanker[s?]. I had even thanked California on a thread yesterday morning after hearing that.

I wonder what the deal is....obviously Perry thought such as he stated it on F&F— California was going to be helping us. I was much relieved as I know Cali deals with wildfires just about more than any state and we could sure use the help.

We need to get these Texas fires out quick because California's fire season is already here. We're gonna need those tankers back pretty soon. In the interim, Texas needs as many as they can muster up. There are 49 other states that would be more than happy to send in firefighters. All they need is someone willing to ask for the help.

California has never been too proud to ask for help. When we have big fires, we get firefighters from all over the western US and when they have fires, we send our guys over there.

This is how America is supposed to work.
