has been one death . mike mohler/calfire "....yes, you could say perfect storm, it's a combination of our aircraft not being a seasonal aircraft but rather a year round aircraft so maintenance is a big, big issue for us, pilots are retiring, there's attrition in the fire service and already this summer we've seen the biggest fire in calfire's history..."rob fladeboe/hollister "....going forward calfire says it is looking to hire as many 40 new pilots over the next few years. in hollister rob fladeboe kron4news ( darya ) coming up on the kron 4 morning news... there's a new car break-in hot spot in the bay area.. and police say the crime can happen in seconds.
