what is Maketa running for? Gov? Senate? If not he'll fall back to El Paso County Commissioner
Sheriff Andy just let Barney have one bullet at a time when he let him have any at all so I think he'd be fine with closing background check loopholes and limiting magazine capacity. Can't picture ol' Andy wanting to blow away a deer with so much fire power you'd have to take the blown apart pieces home in a giant bag.
The Black Forest fire and the Royal Gorge fire were reported within about one hour of each other on June 11th – both quickly went out of control burning many acres in probably similar weather and wind conditions. For reasons I know little about, the Royal Gore fire was contained more quickly than the Black Forest fire – and perhaps not known to many, the Royal Gorge fire came within about 1 1/2 miles (or less) of residential areas of the City of Canon City.
But here's what was striking to me in watching television coverage of both fires for several days – the fire incident commander or fire communications person did most of the speaking to the public and press re: the Royal Gorge fire, with additional comments by Fremont County Commissioners, sheriff and Canon City officials. In contrast, the Black Forest fire spokesman – day after day – was El Paso sheriff Maketa, almost always dominating the camera, the reporting, answering the questions. I wonder if anyone is seeing this contrast, besides me . . . .
Also, did something go wrong early in the management of the Black Forest fire? I'd love to know.
So about the difference in personnel… The Black Forest Fire was never put under NIFC incident command – it remained in municipal hands (probably because it never entered Federal lands that would fall under NIFC jurisdiction…).
That was my assumption – even knowing that there was very little sharing of the microphone by Maketa (with local fire department leaders, local county commissioners, etc).
CO Constitution designates Sheriff as Fire Warden
The wind.
The water.
The sun.
The fire hydrants.
I mentioned wind and water, right?
