Breitbart is highly biased and is trying to politicize this fire.

Singh said DOD resources work best when there is a plan in place to make sure they are used the most efficiently.

“You just don’t want to surge a bunch of capability and resources into a region without a full plan,” she said. “So that’s what we’re doing, and we’re working very closely with the state to make sure that we’re getting their needs met.”

  Is California working on a full plan that will allow these resources to be used to contain and extinguish these fires?
