They said they can’t post firefighters at the sites of past fires, but this is a red herring, they don’t need to. Aerial IR imagery could easily see if a fire still has burning embers and is at risk of reigniting. The cost would be well under $1 million, and possibly under $100k. They might have been able to afford that with only a slight reduction in the gay choir, etc.
does anyone else see the irony in the LAFD being laughed at?
When I was kid in grade school one of my friends lived in a wooden house. I guess they were naturalists or something, all the sidings and the roof was made of wood planks. It stood out in a neighborhood of working class suburban homes with stucco walls and tile roofs. Anyway, that house caught fire 3 times, and each time they rebuilt it exactly the same. One of the fires was caused by his older brother who lit off some fireworks that landed on their roof.
There will always be fires in the Los Angeles basin.
Lightning strikes. Car sparks. Bums with propane tanks. Meth heads cooking dope. Arson. Downed power lines. Fireworks. Barbecues gone awry. House fires that take off.
The solution is to
A. Minimize risk. Keep camping away from tinder box areas. Prosecute arson. Clear brush. Keep cars in good repair. Rake forests. Home sprinkler systems. Controlled burns.
B. Respond with excellent fire services including plenty of water and personnel and equipment and good firefighting strategies with solid mutual aid in place.
Most of the above neglected or actively opposed. Criminal.
Now the libs have to try to link Trump to the fireworks, not his evil climate denial.
I always thought these fires happened all the time, either caused by people or by lightening strikes…. Then they may or may not spread out of control depending on wind, dryness, etc..
Am I wrong?

Florida Fire that Destroyed 4K Rental Cars Ruled Accident
https://www.autorentalnews.com/10124530/florida-fire-that-destroyed-4k-rental-cars-ruled-accident
An April fire at a rental lot at the Southwest Florida International Airport has been ruled an accident.
The 15-acre fire destroyed nearly 4,000 vehicles and resulted in $100 million in damages. About 2,500 of the vehicles were from Enterprise and Avis. More than 1,000 destroyed vehicles were from Hertz.
Officials believe the fire was probably started by hot exhaust over dried grass.
Fire investigator Lee Quick provided his report to Auto Rental News. The report concludes:
“After my examination of the fire scene, examination of physical evidence, knowledge of fire development, witness information, and supporting documents and environmental conditions, I determined the fire originated near ground level. This was likely caused by a hot exhaust system contacting dry grass underneath a vehicle. Once the fire started, surrounding combustible items would have ignited with available oxygen and allowed the fire to spread rapidly onto the surrounding grasses and vehicles. I am classifying this fire as Accidental.”
Interesting discussion on what caused the Palisades Fire (fireworks not mentioned):

Fireworks sounds better than illegals and marxist nutcases purposefully setting them.
How many days after New Years did this Palisades fire start?
I’m thinking this is government misinformation.
Climate Change ringing in the New Year like everyone else. Burn baby, burn
Here is where the fire started in Pacific Palisades.
There are 4 guys there even saying that they were just there.
They need to be identified as they probably started the fire.
Read the comments. They posted the videos and one does give his first name.
Further down there is more video of them running from the fire.
They are filming for their TikTok or Youtube. I bet they started the fire.
Here are 3 videos they took on the trail where the fire started.

Did you notice you don’t hear either of them on phone with fire authorities. Instead they are filming fire and filming running 🤔 Why. I would have been running and conversing instead of filming
The videos together
