LAPD tells me Kenneth Fire now being investigated as an arson and one person is in custody.
These live threads quickly die unless they are in breaking news (I originally posted this there but it got yanked)
I also requested the Original thread get moved to breaking news as the 2 large fires were happening but that didn’t happen either
I’m not going to post here anymore since it seems I’m just talking to myself
7 deaths
10,000 structures destroyed
90,000 still evacuated

Hmm. My next guess at a “solution” is to have plenty of water available everywhere for stopping fires.
I accept that the current network of fire hydrants isn’t designed for thousands of homes under threat. I don’t criticize its designers, but it needs to be beefed up. Just an idea.
How about each home having a “whole home exterior” sprinkler system. Maybe water stored on premesises.
