That's unbelievable.  Someone should tell the fed's to ram it.  I realize that they want control of the situation, but they could sure organize the locals and utilize their assistance.  They had control of the Rosebud fire last Sunday when it broke loose, the Fed's didn't even know it had cut loose and the locals had been giving it hell for a few hours.  Seems like they better make sure they cover their back or they end up looking stupid when the locals end up having to do their job anyway.  I am sure everyone was glad for the help, but no one is going to set back and watch this one, people have way too much to lose.
