North Carolina Rescue issues

[Clay Showalter]

Started a new thread. This should piss you off. Some local fire chief or assistant fire chief telling a volunteer to not help and to not even go back for his copilot, who happens to be his son

SC pilot flying volunteer supply and rescue missions ordered out of Lake Lure under arrest threat

The first rescue was of two women who were stranded high up on a mountain.

Here is a news report. I sure hope there is a good excuse for this.

Over reaching tough guy, that fire official should be relieved of any duties in that area.

Sounds like that guy is a hall monitor that is concerned more about running the show his way vs worrying about getting as many as possible out of harms way.

On a fire scene the officer in charge calls the shots. This situation is a lot different. There is no active fire. The scene is many square miles. Not sure how that works. Maybe some of our resident fire fighters can chime in. Everything was chaos. If I am the chief, I'm using all available resources. That helicopter would have been a blessing.

Months would be would be a stretch. Probably be a year from the looks of it.
