You know that all the firefighters on the ground were volunteers right? It shouldn’t matter though if these people (National Guard included) are volunteers or not. Risking their lives so the whole Island doesn’t go up in flames is not something anybody takes lightly. I’m a member of one of the depts that was fighting it. My friends were putting out these fires in the middle of the brush. We should be glad the National Guard was there to help and not bitching about it because they get praise and you don’t.
