That was my first thought "Clearly these people haven't been to the Klamath or Battle Mountain". Randy Moore should step up and inform people of the logistical nightmare of this.
I think you already covered the numerous and significant limitations associated with this executive order in the operational world. The absolute hypocrisy of pushing this technology for political reasons and purposely ignoring the social and environmental costs in the “third world” is unfortunately not new. You can bet that the folks pushing this have already positioned themselves to make money from the switch to electric vehicles and the Forest Service is being used as a pawn in the process. I hope the agency will slow the roll so that there’s time for some common sense to prevail.
Yes its riddled with problems. I can actually envision the idea of sacrificing water tanks for battery storage and then what about the weight? Lol think of the water supply issues there. Hey, electric mark iii’s next?
Reasonable accommodation is not supposed to cost undue hardship or cost but this will be over the top if it makes its way to the apparatus world.
One thing i can see causing issues is air conditioning system draw!
Theres a reason to everything as i say and its not because they’re stupid. Certain things will cause a catastrophic chemical interaction with fuels. Start Paying attention to certain solar enigmas and inbound particle counts. If gasoline becomes unstable at a molecular level due to certain radiative events/effects what do you think would happen?
I for one hate the idea of electric fire apparatus. But, we’re going to start seeing uncommon things being normal events.
Extreme fire behavior is not extreme at all folks, its just that we are finally seeing what the true btu potentials of all fuels have always had but due to fuel moistures etc the nature of fire has been kept toned down so to speak.
You can not get more btu out if a fire than what the fuel already contains.
The number if aircraft, engines and fft’s will make no difference at all if we don’t change how we train and fight them.
I can’t wait to see how a place like the Klamath will deal with this, you have to go an hour between gas stations on hard ball alone

Interesting that you put this out then days later, we're going to send billions of dollars to Africa to "Build their infrastructure," and such. 🤔
The LEO right behind the perp looks hella pissed off.

MAFFS is highly under used
Ha!
