The Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation had a fire start. They only had two crews to fight the flame and soon enough the fire was completely out of control. Then the forest service was supposed to be putting the flames out, because it had gotten on the the national forest. The forest service was also completely unqualified to do so because they had just sent almost all of their crews to New Mexico, I believe, to fight fires there. All the while, citizens and volunteer firefighters had been fighting the fire. Eventually the State of Montana took over and the fires were put out, weeks after everything had started. There were over 40,000 acres burned. The livelihood of several ranching families was put in danger because the counties, reservation, and forest service did not have the resources to stop the fires. I can say, at least there weren't any people being paid to fight the fire that were just standing around...Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02099892004975107838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177278403574086761.post-30548304239990363042011-08-30T10:52:45.067-07:002011-08-30T10:52:45.067-07:00What a disgusting bummer and waste of money and re...What a disgusting bummer and waste of money and resources.

They will brand us all "domestic terrorists," I'm sure, so get ready to be villified for posting this. My fear is they will set up camp and never leave!Just a Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08862809470801856182noreply@blogger.com
