If they didn’t do any more than carry water and shovels we were glad to have them. There wasn’t a lot of people rushing in from outside and volunteering.
I appreciate your postings on this thread.
The fires in Texas in 2010 and 2011 burned many times more homes, acres and square miles than those in CA and CO, but received little assistance from the Obama Admin. and the MSM in comparison. Was a member at The Cliffs at Possum Kingdom in the ‘80s-’90s before all the big expensive homes were built there. At least over 100 were burned down during the fires a couple of years ago and only local news media coverage occurred. The liberal MSM doesn’t like Texas.
Aside... I was surprised to see mention in one of your postings about the P2V aircraft. I enlisted in the USNR near the start of my senior year of HS and was in a VP squadron that flew P2Vs out of NAS Dallas. Hard to believe one could be converted to a tanker to fight fires.
