Without clear evidence of incompetence, why would I prioritise that option? The official's actions make sense in terms of existing and normal regulations and practices in disasters.

Also, if you don't want to deal with local fire chiefs who don't know everything about the air operations, maybe don't approach them first and instead approach the actual units and organisations that are coordinating the air response.

Incompetence is the default state of every human organization. You rather need proof of competence not to assume it.

If you want to go by rules of thumb, the incompetence is a lot more likely to be the cowboy who went to the media to put first responders on blast because his “heroic” assistance was rerouted to the proper channels.
