Dianne Feinstein actually said...

"How many will be available during fire season in California?"

"I don't want to go through another Station Fire."

"Unless there are a sufficient number of Federal airtankers, CAL FIRE cannot continue to support extended attack fires on Federal lands without adversely affecting our aviation program."

"I think the decision was made in the Station Fire, not to attack early. And I think that was a mistake."
