In such a situation, the Governor of Oregon should order the USFS folks out and order Oregon fire fighters to get whatever water they need.

It is an emergency, life-saving issue that the USFS has no right to override.

Was the Governor aware of this while it was occuring?

If not, I'd suggest Oregon residents write to him and urge him to get involved.

Our Governor? Kitzhaber? Mr. Greenjeans? You're not from around here, are you?

Seriously, he's been our biggest enemy. He'd have soon done away with the Klamath Falls farmers as not. And worse. He is crazed by Lars Larson's refusal to back down from the truth. He's out in a few months...term limited, but he's pushing his legacy, big time.

That's the problem with Federal ownership of land.
Even if the states Governor were of a mind to I don't think he could order the Feds out. The 16th and 17th Ammendments (which were certified but not legally ratified.) effectively killed state sovereignty.

The Feds are all powerful and where they claim jurisdiction they are God.
