Why hasn't the Governor called out the National Guard?

They were involved in the firefighting all day.

No mention of it in the news, at least not that I heard.

I have another question: After seeing footage today on KWTV of some dude in a black Dodge Dually pickup with a water tank in back fighting a fire by himself, I'm wondering: Why doesn't someone (The Governor?) commandeer all the truck-portable water tank and pump units like the ones used by landscape chemical sprayers and put them to use?

Just load 'em up on dually trucks, or National Guard trucks, fill them with water, and send them to the fires? Settle up after the fires are out.

Just an idea...
