So Mellowmuse would try to have me believe that the Big trucks with the sign on the doors stating US FOREST SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE that are sitting right next to me are not real,hahahahah So all the other fire trucks must not be real either hahahaha mellowmuse has it all figured out.And for all you conspiracy theorists the gray predator drone with the blue stipe that we watch for over half an hour circling ,it did not have any missiles or even missile rail,it only had a camera pod.

Mellowmuse,

Do you really believe the federal government follows the rules?!!!

Glad to hear it’s being contained.

Controlled burning requires manpower and money which I am pretty sure has been cut and cut as unnecessary and overspending of big government. I guess we can all be counted on to volunteer to do the controlled burns?

The US Homeland Security Department would not be involved in a local event like this, unless there was a federal disaster declaration made. The Florida Department of Agriculture/Division of Forestry is probably who you saw responding, and likely, Escambia County Emergency Management and Escambia County Fire Department. Let’s give credit where credit is due. I’m sure they are working around the clock.

We saw a homeland security drone with a blue stripe circling the area and a lot of US forest fire trucks .

If there were more controlled burning during the winter we’d have less wildfires during the summer. Many of the forested areas around here are way too overgrown with brush.
