Excellent piece. But I'm still curious who made the call to drop them in there. Burnovers should never happen. I'm glad to see some pushback from firefighters. But as one who lives in the mountains I'd like to offer a sincere F You to any flatlanders cosplaying Survivorman with rock rings. DON'T.

Natural disasters should never be politicized and shame on the politicians who withhold vital resources and aid to these areas devastated by natural disasters. We need to vote in leaders who will take care of our people, our country, and our land. Enough said.
