They are volunteers do there are no paychecks to cover . . . or maybe there ARE paychecks to at least the leaders.

Even if there are no salaries to cover, what about:
-- food
-- fuel
-- generators, chain saws, rope, chain
-- trucks
-- front-end loaders
-- Bobcats
-- transporting supplies and equipment

Somewhere a few layers down there is at least one Trump billionaire paying for this.
