[Elecraft] [OT] Fires

[Rick NK7I]

The simplest answer is when an area has numerous fires consuming homes, acres and a few lives in excess of the ‘norm’; there will never be enough resources available in a timely manner. 

Every fire, regardless of which agency is responsible (Fed, state, local) is noted and prioritized And addressed, leaving some reserves for the more mundane events (90% medical aid, wrecks etc) and a smaller amount to apply as it hits the fan; including help from other states and countries (while protecting everyone from COVID as best as possible).  Herculean effort is a gross understatement this year. 

CA has exceeded the 4 million acre threshold (30+ dead); a record that no one wants... with another month (or more) of fire season to go (in the north, the south never closes).

Prayers for all the impacted; the level of destruction is beyond traumatic.

So I resonated with Bob on this point, and for this reason I refute W6GJB's claim that resources assigned to southern California deprived northern California of the same. It seems that *nobody* had the resources they needed. What a shame.
