That’s all that may have stood between a small fire that wouldn’t even have made the news and 273,000 acres charred, hundreds of homes destroyed, wildlife ravaged, human lives lost, including a firefighter … but the Feds told a friggin’ helicopter with that bucket to return to base!

On the other hand, Tony Perry says that one helicopter doesn’t even exist.

Who’s telling the truth? You tell me. Either way, I’m one pissed-off former (and potentially future) San Diego resident. If the Cedar Fire was preventable, some heads should roll. Not that they will. But they should.
