How pathetic the state of California is under the control of the democrat party. Don't hire firemen because they are straight white males
Divert the water into the Bay for the Schmelt. Don't manage the brush on the forest floor to limit fuel for fires and don't clear brush from power lines. They did everything to make these fires worse than they had to be. Gavin Newsome sucks and so does Nancy Pelosi and all the other lowlife democrats. Keep voting democrat California. Pretty soon you won't have a state left.

There’s a video on X of a firefighter using a traffic cone to scoop up water from a puddle and throwing it on a fire.

“Kind of a metaphor for where we are these days.” Indeed.

Votes matter. I’m sorry for the 20% but the 80% asked for it deep and hard.

I dunno about that... a good, comfortable bra is SO hard to find.

Pails and buckets could not be used since they were remnants of the antiquated patriarchy—or is it because the environmentalists banned them?

Thanks!

Update...

Note to people online suggesting that the firefighter was in fact using a bucket, see this link...

That’s a bucket.

The firefighter in the now viral video looks to be using a purse.

Don’t get me wrong.

God bless the firefighter who used his ingenuity and gumption to do what he had to to get it done.

But as for the pols and bureaucrats who failed him, his colleagues, and the people they purport to serve...

I’d better not say what I’m thinking.

Black purse with a yellow uniform? How gauche!

Should have been a peach or at least an apricot!.................

I’m surprised they haven’t blamed Trump yet.

It’s coming.

Just wait for it...................

I’m also beginning to wonder if Americans, especially in major metros, should consider organizing their own emergency fire brigades...

The county next to ours, a very rural area, had a volunteer FD.

One of the ‘volunteers’ was charged with arson for starting fires so he would get to ‘fight’ them!..............

It’s like pedos who gravitate to elementary school teaching.

Still, I think I’d be planning a backup.

Russia and China must be laughing themselves into the floor over this.

Canada and Greenland probably put the brakes on in joining with us.
