FSFirefighter, I was so glad to see air suppression brought in early, or at least earlier than this civilian has noticed it in other fires. Knowing not what I know not, I've always wished for earlier and better air support for ground personnel but assumed the bean counters thought you all were cheaper (I think the other way around). Maybe it is also a function of location (property value, threat to adjoining areas, etc.)?
In any case, I was wondering with the dry winter if there is a different philosophy this season by the big wigs to have air support available earlier, or any other change for that matter.
Thanks to all who were involved in this one!
