I like how randos think they can manage a fire better than pros. It's great that you want to protect your home from a fast, hot, broad fire like that one, with a garden hose, but when nature does what it does, and when the fire does exactly what the pros feared, how much labour do we invest saving people who refused to follow safety direction?
If you move, take or damage emergency gear, you need to be on a blacklist where you don't get emergency services anymore. Because fuck you. And that's well-understood.
But diverting labour as firemen with their own families risk their lives to save your dumb ass, what's the over-under on how much we care about your "I know better than pros" self?
It's either we let you burn later or we handcuff and remove you now. What's the choice, here? We can talk about how much jail time you get later as a stupid tax.
Crazy thing is you watch the video and the one dude has a 3" going. Makes you wonder if he didn't rescue it from a back-up site somewhere close by. ๐
video here under heading "Tensions rise in Shuswap fire fight".
They are stealing gear from the fire fighters and making the situation worse. They are endangering professional and volunteer firefighters and other people's lives and property.
