  • I get that. Then they should leave the area as the authorities requested, not steal equipment from firefighters.

    When property overrides lives we've completely lost our humanity.

  • Yup. Worked male-orientated jobs almost my whole life. The battle is real.

  • Problem is without proper training they're just as likely to die instead of help.

  • So those thieves are justified in stealing equipment that could save someone else's life and/or home?

    Yeah, no.

    It doesn't work that way.

  • That's what ON does if you're caught fishing illegally (over quota, wrong species, outside slot, etc). And hunting as well. Truck and gear is gone, along with charges, court dates, fines and possible big X against future licenses.

  • It's not "largely unused". It's there so if the crews have to leave one spot quickly, so can't gather equipment, to get to another spot.

    I take it you've never worked a forest fire before.

  • In all honesty becoming a donor should be mandatory. Then we wouldn't be facing as many issues like this.

  • I can almost guarantee you that idea has been bounced around because of our massive fresh-water sources that America needs, but can't just take.

  • DuhSantis living up to this name.

    I mean one has to be pretty dense to think Disney is gonna drop a lawsuit because the person doesn't want to face the consequences of their actions.

    As Forrest would say, stupid is as stupid does.

  • Do you use an app cleaner?

  • Type "lemmy.world status" into DDG and it'll show you.

  • Kinda hard to forget since he was a founding member of The Band.

  • Damn. One of my favourite artists of all time. His first solo album is still one I listen to often.

    :'(

  • Jfc. The fine should have been $1 mil with half going to the kid.

  • Yup. The fines should be 10-20% of profits for the time period, per charge, depending on the severity.

    That would got their gd attention.
