There was a caller on my local radio station - a homeowner in Pacific Palisades - who watched the fire start on the hill that was later declared as the origin of the fire - he immediately called it in at 9 PM - said helicopters and fire trucks didn’t arrive until 10:30 PM - he watched as the fire spread. We had high winds in LA that day so it didn’t take long.
I wonder if the fire dept. had been more responsive, if that fire could have been put out quickly.
I live in the foothills not too far away - with its own fire department, Thank God. We had an arson-set fire a day after the Palisades fire started, in the tinder-box dry hills. The local fire department was all over it and it was quelled within a few hours, despite high winds.
Didn’t Adam Corolla say something about nine lesbians running the county?
In other news...Stupid hurts.
LOL!
Teaching, policing, and firefighting are all honorable professions.
But in this present time why would any honorable decent person want to enter one of those professions when they would be taking orders from folk who hold the position of authority over them not on their professional competence, but the politics of DEI?
