Colorado's Firehawk is still months out, but other air support resources are on the way

Across Colorado, fire officials are once again bracing for what could be another severe year of wildfires in the state between the hot and dry conditions.

It’s already burning, you just don’t see it yet. This year will be dryer than previous years.

I support all funds that need to go to get aircraft to fight fires in our state. That money in the long run will save us 100's of millions in property damage, insurance claims, list of life?, lots of businesses, food, agriculture. The list can go on & on. Pray we get the rain & snow we typically get in late april & may. We really need it.

[@Starfish2145]

One? They need dozens!

[@edwardfranco5127]

So what you're saying is you boil one helicopter when we gave away all those helicopters they flew from Afghanistan to Iran. Now we are involved in Ukraine those people have to sacrifice we just sent them another dozen helicopters in the state of Arizona doesn't have only but one might as well go to the Nevada and just roll the dice

Where is the super tanker that was stationed in Colorado Springs

[@kevingilsbach2899]

We have a huge helicopter asset in the national guard! They have all the equipment they need with Bambi buckets and such we also have c-130s in the Air Force here in Colorado that are and can be prepared for dropping retardant at any given time taxpayers already paid for this why can't we use them? And not only do we have all this asset of their power in the air the pilots who fly these aircraft actually love doing this I know this because I am a helicopter pilot but it helps your proficiency ratings as well to put these types of flights in your logs as a commercial pilot it is invaluable I never understood why we don't use the reserves national guard and the regular armed forces to do this they're there they're always going to be there they're ready on a moment's notice and it's their job to help in natural disasters such as fires. We don't need expensive planes and firehawks things of that nature we already have them I don't understand never understood why we don't use this already paid for asset.

Do you know why California and Colorado are going to suffer the same catastrophic events? Because the geology is the same that’s why!…🙏

Money is in good used of other politicians

McDonald Trump says rake the forest and there will be no fires

[@Elkski84]

He's right, taxpayer dollars should have been spent managing forests for the last 30yrs, but the tree huggers put a stop to that

[@anthonysears871]

Let it burn!!!
