Firefighters have their life on the line and our President blames them
Firefighter groups: Trump's California wildfire tweet was 'shameful' and 'ill-informed'
The presidents of two professional firefighters associations have denounced President Donald Trump's assertion that "gross mismanagement of the forests" is to blame for California's devastating fires.
California Professional Firefighters president Brian Rice called the President's words "ill-informed, ill-timed and demeaning" in a written statement.
Harold Schaitberger, General President of the International Association of Fire Fighters, said the comments were "reckless and insulting."
