[QUOTE="Super Kami Guru, post: 7883, member: 22"] In fairness to California a lot of their fires start in areas that are quite hard for firefighters to gain access to, so they have more time to spread; however, yeah, AZ has improved a lot and seems to get fires under control very quickly. A lot of that boils down to the unfortunate amount of experience, but also the use of hotshot jumpers and their ability to get ahead of and therefore contain blazes. California has the advantage of having oceans and lakes to send water bombers to, while AZ has more limited supplies on that front, but even at that, it takes a great deal of skill for these firefighters, in both states, to stop them from ripping through the states and taking countless lives with them. Credit to California, though, one thing they do that I think more should adopt -- inmate firefighting crews. Puts inmates to work, teaches them a very useful skill, and gives them real world experience and purpose that often stops them from recriminating. [/QUOTE]
