WOW 🚨 Truck driver says they were prepping for the Brantley Highway 82 wildfire in Georgia, they had over 15,000 gallons with of water to fire proof the area
Officials REJECTED the water and then let the wildfire catch, spread and burn the area
Here’s exactly what happened
He and others cleaned out a 5,000-gallon septic tank truck overnight, added proper fittings to safely supply fire trucks, and drove it to the scene early Saturday morning
The command center Incident Management Team rejected the water truck and said they didn’t need it
He claims they could have used it to pre-position water in ditches before the fire crossed Highway 32 when conditions were still very manageable
Another local brought a 10,000-gallon tanker and waited around for 2 days before being sent home, they were also told they weren’t needed.
The trucker makes it clear he was in absolute disbelief being told “They didn’t need water”
He was in total disbelief of the mismanagement in a serious wildfire under drought conditions
Locals trying to help but being turned away by centralized command
We keep seeing this happen over and over again. It’s almost like these disasters are being allowed to happen over specific areas
The fire has now burned Burned 22,419 acres and destroyed over 100 homes
I also was able to verify there are several data center proposals and discussions in and near Brantley County
