They should go to the highest bidder -- public agencies should NOT have priority.

I'm actually not convinced that they'd be good in remote situations. Too wide/heavy for trail use, and for truly remote situations, they usually attack the fire with aircraft anyway. If fire depts wanted the things, they'd have acquired some ten years ago.
