It was only four years ago, almost to the day that we experienced the Cedar fire, which at that time was one of the biggest fires in California history, after investigation it was proven to be Arson.
Every year at this time the weather in Southern California becomes very dry and dangerous for fire.
You would think our government agencies would have learned something from it.
You would think that in four years... they would have figured out how to be prepared for this, but as you can see, the response has been totally inadequate. The numbers are staggering whether you are talking about money, homes, animals or the environment.
It's all devastating.
Did this tragidity have to happen? The answer is -- No. The technology to put out these monstrous fires already exists, but "our government" refused to use it in 2003, because it was made in Russia. The Russians designed the Ilyusian IL76 Water-Bomber plane with the capacity to carry 16,000 gallons of water, able to put out a fire the size of 10 football fields lined up end to end, in fifteen seconds.
Why did we refuse it then? Did politics and historical animosity get in the way of saving our land, our animals, and our homes?
Why was it not called in for this fire?
These are questions that the citizens should be asking their Government representatives.

This catastrophe has touched people from all classes of society. A large number of the houses lost were of the rich.
Our national treasure has been squandered on fighting insane wars that only make the military industrial complex richer and the world less safe.
This devastation you see in this video, didn't have to happen. If we can send men to the moon, we can create machines that can effectively put out fires like this. The world is ruled by the rich and now they have been burned.
I hope people will get outraged and get on the phone and demand more Water-Bombers
I want to see you all get mad as hell at all the responsible parties that have allowed this tragedy to take place!
Don't blame this on global warming. Blame it on a government that spends the national treasure on making war not on peace.
It is time to go after the criminals that actively did this and the one who passively did this.
It is time for a revolution in America!
It is time for a total rearranging of our national priorities It is time to stop building bombers, instead we should be building Water-Bombers so we wouldn't have to face the future with this kind of fear again!
What do you think?

  • Why did we sit on the ground for 4 days?? It's called WIND!!! Helicopters and strong winds don't mix! Plus we were also fighting fires in Central and Northern California, California only has 18. UH-60 Blackhawks in the CalGuard, and for every one hour of flight time, I need two hours for maintenance! We did the best we could! Our facility was running 24 maintenance ops, just to keep the birds in the air during the fires!

  • This fucknut needs to shut his trap,he is an illiterate moron professional arsonists? give me a break this ass needs to be put in a fire shelter on the fire line to see if he bakes like a potato in the oven!

  • That guy really needs to shut the fuck up,it's fire you can't really put out a wild fire in a day,when there's high heat and wind pushing it

    And for there "not being enough aircraft"...there's only one tanker base that can load tanker 910,911...and that's Victorville,San bernardino can hold the seat,p3,p2v,and the s2...but there's only so many pits,

    You also have hemt and ramona...so that goof talking needed to get his facts strait

  • Technically it could be terrorism, but if anything just to cause destruction and see what happens. Just like columbine.

    Also, I did google that and it brought up FOX news lol. What do ya know. No but really the title is misleading and this wasted my time.

  • What a goof.

  • California's fires are bad but to throw that 911 dig in id TREASON.

  • But then again, it WAS terrorists who were behind 9/11.....

  • Californier? WTF? 

  • WHY DON'T YOU JUST MOVE TO A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY AND THEN YOU CAN TALK ABOUT TERRORISM ! THE CEDAR FIRE WAS STARTED BY A LOST HIKER ! i WAS THERE THE 1ST DAY YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT !
