Im currently reading “The Big Burn” and the parallels between then and now is mind blowing. After TR left office the President and many members of Congress were vehemently opposed to the FS and were doing damn near everything in their power to destroy the agency.

I’m reading the book Fire Weather and seeing the uptrend in intense, large and frequent fires coupled with cuts to USFS is going to have unimaginably negative effects.

Bruh, you been to a large fire lately?

Shitcanning Randy Moore means things might actually get BETTER for fire for once.

Funny I thought this was a WILDFIRE sub, not a political sub. LOL

Anyway I get the rage. I was young, idealistic, and dumb once too.

Hilarious you think the previous administration gave a shit about you because you got a 2.1% pay increase.

If you want to know how the democrat leadership felt about firefighters, look no further than Randy Moore. He was chosen as the poster child for fed fire.

That FUCK has done more to destroy federal fire than anyone alive. If you were in R5 15 years ago then you would understand.

Where did he get us, exactly?

There has yet to be a termination or even a suggestion of a termination of a fed firefighter.

Just using actual firefighters for union propaganda.
