The most inept Government entity is forestry.
Loggers have the equipment and know how to use it, go places with a skidder+Crawler that would make most people puke.
I have 350-400 gallons of water and a pump on a truck I have here, in case of a roadside type flare up, of which we have had several over the years...the locals put them out or controlled them until someone else comes with the big stuff.
Lightening out now, big time.
Absolutely true. A very good friend of mine resigned from forestry for that reason. He spent a couple of decades in charge of fighting forest fires but said they brought in so many policies that didnt work that it was impossible to do his job properly.
