Station FireI think this paragraph says it all:
| Quote: | | Three weeks before the fire, the Forest Service issued a memorandum directing its Southern California managers to trim expenses by reducing the use of reinforcements from municipal departments and the state. |

true, but then this:
| Quote: | | In previous interviews, before the Forest Service stopped releasing information, Angeles Forest Fire Chief David Conklin told The Times that costs never influenced his decisions on reinforcements. |

I can't remember the exact sequence, but there were other fires going on at the time, so I can understand the County's hesitance to commit maximum air assets, but not to commit full effort at the beggining stages is inexcuseable in MHO.
