Montana Governor Says Feds Hampering State's Wildfire FightFriday, 21 Aug 2015 09:04 PM Montana's governor on Friday called on federal officials to lift what he called nonsensical restrictions that bar the state from using some of its helicopters to fight nearly a dozen major wildfires burning largely out of control across the state. Governor Steve Bullock, who declared a state of emergency earlier this week authorizing use of National Guard troops and aircraft along with state firefighters and helicopters, said in a letter to U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack that the federal rules were unnecessary obstacles to fighting the fires. www.newsmax.com/US/Montana-federal-government-helicopters-wildfires/2015/08/21/id/671314/
