A message from Sen. Jennifer Fielder
SPECIAL NOTE TO READER: Recently I released the article below to the Sanders County Ledger with the headline “Feds won’t let state put wildfires out”. The Ledger retitled my article, “Feds don’t help firefighting effort”. This is an egregious misrepresentation of the content of my article (which, you can see below, in no way indicates that the feds are not helping firefighting efforts). Of course, the federal government has hundreds of firefighters and support contractors working the fires, many putting in valiant efforts to combat the blaze. My column points out, factually, that the federal government will not allow state firefighting aircraft to work on putting out the fires. With the state’s help, some of these fires likely could have been extinguished before they grew out of control, as the state of Montana has a stellar track record for stopping wildfires before they exceed 10 acres in size.
