Default Fire danger big!

Larry, This (Michigan) ain't the west, but here, the State of Michigan and the Feds

work together to put out fires on all land ownerships. Now, I'm not sure who pays
the
bills, but I know they do care...

Various fire fighting agencies always negotiate a reciprocal fire
fighting agreement, and will send crews to other fires. The 14 Hot Shots
who died at the Storm King fire in Colorado were from Bend, Oregon. It
is mutually advantageous to share resources, since no single jurisdiction
can afford to maintain huge fire fighting crews.
