Fire managers must use best tools to save lives

Another uncontrolled fire season is upon us bringing terrible destruction and loss of life, with fire officials AGAIN expected to continue restricting the only effective tool against uncontrolled wildfires. Namely the 747, DC-lU (now in limited use), and Ilyushin-76 Super Tanker type aircraft (see: Evergreen Supertanker — on internet) that corrupt government aviation and firefighting officials have restricted from service since 1995!

Meanwhile, as usual, we’re forced to endure untold lost lives and destruction in these fires across our country while self-serving government fire and aviation officials drag their feet and protect their fat paychecks, pensions, and vested interests built on the carnage of American citizens by what morally amounts to criminal malfeasance and mass murder. A 747 pilot told me a Supertanker can control massive wildfires in one day when used. We must investigate and prosecute these officials at the top of the FAA, Forest Service, and state and county fire agencies, who obviously care nothing about human life and suffering, for deliberately protecting their “vested interest in error” for a decade by facilitating massive death and destruction by restricting the Supertankers, and meanwhile demand the Boeing 747 (or any) Supertanker aircraft be used to save lives now!

Supertankers mean the end of uncontrolled wildfires in America!
