Snippet version: Wildfire threatens. Local moms establish command/rest/food/supply/repair/first-aid base at local school. Local businesses donate food/equipment/supplies. Volunteers do an amazing job supporting the firefighters.
That is how it should be done. That is how free Americans can do it.
Not that the government didn't try to help. Here are the relevant paragraphs:
The Red Cross came in, looked at what they were doing, and quietly went away to set up a fire victim relief center nearby. They said they couldn’t do it any better.
FEMA came in and told those volunteers and Kenna that they had to leave, FEMA was here now. Kenna told them she worked for the firefighters, not them. They were obnoxious, bossy, got in the way, and criticized everything. The volunteers refused to back down and kept doing their job, and doing it well. Next FEMA said the HEB supplies and kitchen had to go, that was blatant commercialism. Kenna said they stayed. They stayed.
