And yet the donation they cite and post pictures of is from a volunteer fire department. Not that I can see how donating old equipment that a fire department is no longer going to use will impact the fire department negatively whatsoever.
The problem is not equipment. Yes an incredibly wet year followed by an truly incredibly dry one set the stage but these are Trump inspired fires. The cops are now 100 percent there was more than the usual firebug activity. Fuel, oxidiser and source of ignition.
