I really hate bs .gov red tape. If there is a need (and I'm pretty sure NO ONE would argue that point) who gives a shit.. taking jobs from the private sector which can't match demand as more people's lives burn..
My friend is in the COANG HQ and he said they've tasked out more air support assets to help fight all these fires. I think just about every UH-60 and CH-47 available to task out is currently under orders from the governor to help fight these fires. I say good on them, that's what the NG is for, and why not? They could use all the help they can get.
