In a memo sent out earlier this month, acting Assistant Secretary Tyler Hassen asked exiting Interior staff with a firefighting certification — also called a “red card” — to help the agency respond to wildland fires through the end of the year.

Sort of ironic, given trump's criticism of California's handling of wildfires.

Also incredibly depressing. Here we are, the secretary of a department begging those they asked to leave to do a job they were asked to leave.

If you need help, you shouldn't have told the help to leave, you idiots.
