Why is the team in command not willing to call in the military and the six C130's that are available to us to put this fire out? Is it all political? Is it all about who get's the money for fighting the fire? They say using the C130's is expensive. Yet the price tag is already over 60-million dollars. Wouldn't stopping the fire quickly and releasing the resources be cheaper than continuing to fight the fire and burning the entire backcountry and all the wildlife in it?

When the Painted Cave fire seemed out of control, the military and a number of C130's were called in. As a home owner we watched as they quickly and effectively stopped the fire in a very short time. Why have the military and the C130's not been called in this time?
