If you actually want to fix the problem, stop voting for tax cuts. You can have a society or you can have a few rich people who can buy off politicians.

Probably a drill but two USFS fire aircraft in the air this morning. One flying over here so I checked and found out about the other one which was circling near Diamond Valley Lake as making a water drop. So far nothing on the news or from Cal Fire’s website.

CalFire aircraft were sent out to an area notorious for brush fires this afternoon.
Two of these Grumman S2 Trackers along with a Forest Service OV10 Bronco and a Sikorsky UH 60 Black Hawk.
Not mentioned on the CalFire website or map so maybe a readiness drill in the Cahuilla Mountain vicinity before boredom sets in and the always on call firefighters enjoy their Thanksgiving dinners.
Let’s hope so.
