[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 695460, member: 4362"] You are right, it would be mind boggling. Personally, I was outside of "the disaster area" so little to no federal resources were used on putting ours out. We did get some federal help but it was only due to some strings being pulled to get some resources shifted our way. What makes me so mad about our fire is that had the court system actually done its job and locked up the arsonist when he burned down the barn, or when he burned down the store, or when he ran over a man that tried to stop him, or had they done their job when he was caught burning down the house - our fires never would have happened. We did fill out a bunch of forms through the victim's advocacey agency that is run by a politician's wife who said we could get some form of restitution. Total waste of time. He is out of jail now after serving 18 months. Of course he only destroyed $750,000 worth of timber and would cost us another $275,000 in reforestation fees if we had the money to actually do this. BTW, I caught another arsonist red handed this spring who set three fires from the road. Turned it over to the police and they slapped his hand and let him go without so much as a citation! :shock: [/QUOTE]
