Oregon Sent 60 Firetrucks to Help Los Angeles but...
X ^

Those 60 engines sent yesterday to the Cali fires are not on the fire lines...yet.

They've been ordered to submit to a DOT inspection in Sacramento that's scheduled for 4:30 pm today. If they clear the inspection, they'll THEN be able to drive 400 miles to Pacific Palisades.

Talk about "looking a gift horse in the mouth." Then, on the way home, they get inspected again, and if they get red tagged, it's "fix it before you can return." Does liberal stupidity know no bounds? (I'm still waiting for a return call from @OSFM to explain this nonsense)

It’ll be worse when California demands that all fire trucks be EV’s.

I wonder if Los Angeles conducted a DEI review to make sure the proper number of lesbians and minorities were part of the crews?

They’d better be bringing their own water too.

They should just turn around. “Chump don’t want the help, Chump don’t get the help.”

Hard to feel sorry for these people who continually vote for the idiots that run the state.

Newsom obviously does not think this is an emergency that requires emergency over-riding of routine regulations.

Actions speak louder than words.

Sounds like when South Carolina sent power crews to New Jeresy to help after Sandy. New Jersey said no union card, no work. They turned around and came home.

No. The sad thing is how many Americans are ok with this kind of madness.

It’s bad enough having to deal with petty bureaucrats who enjoy flexing their authority. But when those bureaucrats have the full backing of elected officials…

Well, it’s good to know that any potential invasion by the Chicoms would be turned away at the coast by an army of bureaucrats, because the tanks, artillery, APCs,etc, would fail California emissions standards.

Maybe they could pump water from the ocean, you know, after the 5-year environmental wacko study.

Yup—the ancient Romans probably asked the Visgoths for their entry papers—just before the Visgoths chopped off their heads.

I’m surprised the state of California allowed saltwater water drops.

If we had an adult male as Governor of California, he would have already issued a waiver due to the emergency circumstances. This is what happens when you elect a middle school boy.
