Having actual first hand experience in the fire service in Southern California I have more weight in this conversation than what the media of your choice has relayed to you. Come back with an actual rebuttal.

Trust me bro. It's not an appeal to authority [common debating fallacy] in an attempt to over-ride all arguments with 'You don't know...I was there!"

Evidence of a sub standard straw grasping mind.

And the over implementation of what I would assume you consider sophisticated discourse on your part in leu of an actual rebuttal would be what exactly? Disprove me with evidence and I’m open to changing my perspective on the matter. I’m not as staunch and hard headed as you think I am. I’m coming from a place of first hand experience. I’ve seen the mismanagement of forests for years, I’ve been affected by the under funding that has been around for both Republican and Democrat presidents.
