And they'll basically argue over whose responsibility it is. And what we need to do is cross-cut. It's like 9-11. When they said, who the hell knew this was coming?

And that person, the people that oversee wildland firefighting, who they exist under, are not... They're farmers, they're bureaucrats, they're administrators, they're not bad people, but they are not an emergency response organization. They are not, it's like taking a SEAL team and putting it under the Parks and Rec Department.

You and I always worked, at least at some point up the chain, we had meat eaters up there deciding whether we were going to go kill the bad guys or not. That is not the case in this community. Eventually, the Department of Agriculture The Forest Service guys are, you know, 15 layers of grain traders and commodity crop, you know, forecasters and administrators.

And the DOI, it's a little bit better. They're a little bit of a thinner bureaucracy, but firefighters are not led by other firefighters. And the decisions are not made about emergency response. They're made with a risk management outlook and a financial management outlook. How do we do this cheaper? How do we keep our people safe?
