Locals up in Idaho and I think Washington have firefighting cooperatives. Bought a bunch of helicopters and built water buckets for them. A fire service agent stopped them from flying on one fire, they would have been dumping water within a half hour. But since their buckets didn't meet federal specs, it was 4 hours when water finally arrived.
The primary task of a bureaucracy is to ensure its survival, and we have it set up to reward waste. What easier way for the forest service and bureau of land management to ensure they blow this year's budget than to delay firefighting efforts?
That one fire up in the northwest 2-3 years ago that was a record for acres burned, was under control after 36 hours of firefighting cooperative efforts. They handed it off to the feds to clean up the hot spots, and within a couple hours, containment was lost.
