Dianne Feinstein actually said...

"the air assets are critical, and they have to be in place."

"the ability to knock out that wildland fire within the first 24 hours, even within the first half hour, if it's possible, becomes paramount."

"I think everybody knows that there are few issues that are as critical to public safety and environmental protection in my State, California, as wildland fire policy."

"My own thinking is that fires are not going to get better. They're going to get worse."
