That's it...sounds like the wind is kicking the guys rear ends and their looking to bring in the guard to help out. Problem is accessing portions of the fire thru the bog and blow down.
The equipment, manpower, & desire is available to fight these fires in whatever conditions that might be encountered. The problem is when the fires get too big. There are too many "chiefs" in charge and politics get involved. I saw a lot of valuable equipment and talented people get turned away because of it. That is a discussion for a different thread tho.
The amount of volunteers and donated supplies has been nothing short of amazing. It's too bad that it takes a disaster such as this to bring out the good in people.
