We Need 100 More Fire Fighting Helicopters in the USA. Simply Dip a Bucket in a Lake, Dump Water on the Fire. Tell Your Elected Officials That We Want Them to Take Action!

The Entire West is Burning... Every Year there will be MORE MORE MORE fires... and Two of California's Massive Fires - Were Near Lakes... One Near Lake Tahoe and One Near Lake Almanor... and Both Lakes Had Water in them... We Could Have Put those Fires Out Early... If We Only Had Helicopters.
Tell Your Representatives to Buy Some Helicopters!

FC Said: Then you also need, at minimum, 1,000 trained pilots, and several hundred mechanics.
and I Replied: We have a LOT of Soldiers that are NO LONGER fighting the War in Afghanistan... Many of those people are Idle... and Would LOVE to Help their Friends and Neighbors... Put Them to Work!

Here's a Helicopter Dipping a Bucket into a River to Drop Water on a Wildfire. We need to Buy 1,000 of these to put out Fires THIS SUMMER! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_firefighting Remember Last Summer we had Fires near Lake Tahoe and Lake Almanor? Plenty of Water... Not enough Helicopters... DUH!
A helicopter bucket is a specialised bucket suspended on a cable carried by a helicopter to deliver water for aerial firefighting. Each bucket has a release valve on the bottom which is controlled by the helicopter crew. When the helicopter is in position, the crew releases the water to extinguish or suppress the fire below.
Thank You, Joe Biden, for Ending the Pointless War in Afghanistan. Our Soldiers were Wasting their Time fighting a war that cannot be won for people that do not want us there. I feel certain that the Soldiers would rather be home fighting fires that threaten their families and friends... Bring 'em Home and Bring Home the Helicopters too...
