But those were decisions made by FS personnel working an incident. Some resulted from poor judgement, others because of poor training, inexperience or just plain refusal to listen to other people. But the ESA had nothing to do with the deaths of the firefighters. That's a red herring and always was. Standard protocol made it very clear that FS personnel could go past ESA concerns at any time to protect life or property. The protocols and policy were and are in place. They just weren't followed. Bad judgement killed those folks. Not bad policy or law.

It is too bad we lost those firefighters. I am not to up to date on environmental issues, but the fire seems a little more important than the fish. It is too bad we lost those firefighters.

Why would someone put the life of animals over the life of fish. Hey Harrison buddy, when you get a chance, please read and comment on my latest piece on North Korea. I'd love your input!
