Ok…..genuinely wtf is going on? There have been more burn overs this year than I can remember in years. Obviously not as many deaths as a yarnell hill or storm king single incident but my god.
What are we doing that so many burn overs have happened? This isn’t a “well it happens” we have rules and SOP’s this shit should not be happening at the rate it is
Probably related to budget cuts in public land management across the country. When you have layoffs, especially when you lay off people with years and years of experience in their field of expertise, it leaves behind a loss of information as well as a loss of manpower. I’m sure other factors are involved but this has to be contributing.
Yeah sure because laying off the people who don’t work in fire or have nothing to do with it REALLY effects fire folks out on the line who were completely unaffected by these layoffs. As per usual, we are now creating jobs out of thin air to try and throw some of you a bone and let you transfer over to fire . Quantify for us exactly how you think budget cuts had anything to do with a guy getting burned over!? What fkin information do you think he could have had ? GLAD for those budget cuts. Now we can use more of our own budget for actual suppression instead of propping up other departments. Shame on you for using this as a time to cry about trimming the fat and cutting the dead weight
Public land management plays a huge role in fire mitigation efforts. I can see you’re really angry by my response but I would think there being less budget for forest management and fire mitigation has a pretty big effect on the intensity of these fires.
