I am so sorry.

I know they have changed strategies, but need more info, they set backfires now to stop fires, and let them burn more. One thing we get so confused about, why not slam it with planes as soon as it is detected?

Overtime now makes up more than 26 percent of firefighter paychecks and more than 12 percent of the Fire Authority's budget. Overtime pay has increased at twice the rate of base pay.
Overtime costs have been boosted by a series of annual pay raises. In 2007 and 2008, the raises were 3 percent. During that period, the agency added just 49 firefighters, a 6 percent increase. But its payroll swelled by 35 percent.
We love our public servants but at times we think:
What is UP ??

These folks should keep a tank of water for the purpose of heat reservoir, and fire prevention. They could pump water onto their roofs when the fires come through. Just think what they could do wth 500 to 2000 gals of fresh water. The fire would pass and they would still have their homes.

It sure sounds great. Why buy a 30K car, buy the tank and a cheap car, if you can? Just an idea.
