Medford/Ashland fires

[tvguy]

If i get a chance i will try and find exact quote and her actual title, but she is person in charge of some portion of Josephine county emergency management, and of course they also had their ass handed to them on Slater fire, their excuse was they were closely paying attention to Jackson county fires. Furthermore she had gall to say something along the lines of you dont need us to tell you to evacuate if you feel you are in danger take personal responsibility and evacuate. I agree with this sentiment, however, they sure never have enough money and aways a balooning budget, throughout year they speak of how necessary they are, etc and then in their moment of greatest need to the public you get Barney Fife telling you to take personal responsibilty! And certainly some older home bound people sure as hell do need and rely on them for immediate info.

We haven't had the level of destruction here in joke co , that was brought on the Alameda fire area. I listened to some yap Friday about not wanting to cause unnecessary panic in the masses.
Want to stop the sheep from running, be a good shepherd. Give the people accurate timely information. Always.
Reading various FB posts you will see updates, with wording of "what we can share" . What exactly are they not telling people? Or do they simply not know and are taking educated guesses as to what might happen? We have left to much to the "professionals" and not looked around to see what is going to affect us. Some personal responsibility is required but people do panic went stuff is sprung on them with little follow up information.

With all the current fires there is not very many resources left . If it gets above the initial attack capabilities we are screwed . There will be no knights on shiny trucks to help the masses. And in actuality the government has no responsibility to protect us.

Yep I saw that too and right before they said there was an antifa arsonist behind every tree.


And in actuality the government has no responsibility to protect us.

Really? So the police and the fire department are not here to protect us? Emergency management is not here to mange us in an emergency?
