Gov Brown “paused the legal fire crews to regroup.” We were told they would resume but they DID NOT.

It shouldnt take too long for them to insist they not be taxed for services not provided by government.

Police who do not protect citizens and businesses who pay them from mayhem.

Firefighters who abandon those who pay them to the flames.

Teachers who dont teach the children of communities who pay them.

Yes...” just following orders”.

No taxpayer should be forced to pay for equipment, salaries, pensions, perks of any vestige of government that doesnt do what they are paid to do.

From the article:

Another reason for the anonymity, perhaps, is so none of those involved — including some off-duty firefighters — would face repercussions for working outside of the official chain of command. And so they can speak freely about a government response that they feel more or less abandoned them to fate and the will of nature this week.

It’s really not fair to compare a “redneck” wildland crew to a government fire fighting operation when a redneck crew is not burdened with all the excess tasks like having to name the fire first. That takes time you know. And then collect a bunch of data while the fire grows and grows. And of course the fire has to be computer modeled before you go messing with it or putting it out. How else will you know in advance how many homes will burn while they dilly dally around? Finally, they don’t have to set up a command and control center like the government does. They just go and put put the damn fire out. I don’t mean to disparage the wildland crews out there. They are awesome but the leadership really seems to be lacking in a lot of these fire lately. Volunteer crews rock!

Molalla was one of the HS we played way back when here in Clackamas County. That was a logging town until the enviro crap hit. These are the kids of those hardy men. I saw a live report from the Molalla fire command center when a big white PU drove up with large US & Trump flags in back. You don’t have to go far outside the larger cities to be in conservative areas.

A fireman was on TV tonight saying they had been fighting fire for 50-hours straight. He said his job was to save structures and it hurt to see so many lost.
