If this is a private company, with a fleet of planes used for fighting fires, then Texas or any other state could hire them.
What’s the problem with that??

I think the Feds/Forest Service have taken over, I don’t think the Feds would let Texas? I don’t know but that’s my guess.
I read an article yesterday that said the Feds had come, taken over and kicked volunteers out. What type of volunteers I’m not sure...
you can’t possibly fight fires without good fedgoobermint credentials.
California ready to help combat Texas fires (Have not officially received a request)
A state fire official told CalCoastNews today that California is ready to respond to a request from Texas authorities “should it come”
“Texas has come to us as well, and we have given them a rundown of our equipment,” a spokesman for Cal Fire said in Sacramento. “At this time, we have not officially received a request from them, but we have talked to them about what we can provide, knowing that we, too, are in the middle of fire season, and have been busy this last couple of weeks, especially.
“But if we do get a request, we’ll be happy to help.”

The animal in the White House acting to burn down the State of Texas is a tad more than the usual political “stiffing.”
In the tradition of Stalin, he’s killing social and political enemies.
The WON is notorious for backing down, look for a full reverse by the weekend.
The FED Forest Service has commandeered control of firefighting in the Bastrop fire and is the same that is refusing trained Volunteer firemen with some chickenshit regulation. Look for them to refuse the tankers, at least until the WON catches shi’te and reverses AGAIN.
Would be kickass to see the Texas Rangers start arresting Feds for Messin With Texas!!
He’s killing off the Kulaks.
Before, during, and after Hurricane Ike, Sept 13, 2008, our local government officials did an EXCELLENT job. they kept us posted on what was going on, to leave or not. When to come back. What to expect. They were GREAT!
I heard people saying to the FEMA guys, GO HOME! FEMA guys have a clipboard and a pencil.
One man with a chainsaw is worth more than ten with a clipboard!
