Such neglect at the hands of DEI policies.
The important things was fully staffed DEI deparment.
Cost of a run-of-a-mill new fire-truck is around $200k to $400k...depending upon options. So just having ten of the city fire-trucks in the maintenance yard...figures around $3-mil of assets with no use.
What hasn’t been laid out is the maintenance staff cut by the 2024 budget situation.
Global warming and Trump caused this.
I’ve read that L.A. (city? county?) promised firetrucks and firefighting equipment to Ukraine. Was it ever sent, or was it just grandstanding?
Reminds you of the buses sitting in the lots after Katrina. Of course that was a bi9t different...The Union bus drivers said “rescue is not in our contract”.
What an opportunity for a fantastic photo. Today’s term “viral.”
I remember 60 Minutes having a story on Anwar Sadat with the interview statements about Egypt’s military forces in full readiness and tanks can face any challenge and so on, at the same time as they showed video of slow moving shots of totally out of service tanks and trucks with parts missing and shell damage.
Yellow journalism but dramatic.
What if they were one by one taken out of service while the government waited for back ordered all electric ones?
One more of the many coincidences that lead to death and destruction. Like dumb ass Biden sending the LA mayor to Ghana out of the hundreds of people he could have sent. Wake up people. Democrats created a situation that was bound to happen and WAS predicted.
Got a flashback to Hurricane Katrina and the buses.
And Jethro Bodine Bush saying, “Brownie is doing a helluva of job.”
LONG PAST TIME FOR A BUNCH OF THESE “PEOPLE” TO GO TO JAIL...FOR A LOOOONNNGGG TIME. Sadly, given the CORRUPTION in the “JUST US” system IN MAJORITY STATES, THE VICTIMS OF THIS DISASTER WILL NOT BE MADE WHOLE AGAIN!
What’s doubly “SAD” is that a pathetic majority of these victims are DEMOCRATS/LEFTISTS put these DEMOCRATS & THEIR “BUDS” IN POWER.
“HOIST ON THEIR OWEN PETARD” COMES TO my DEMENTED, CONSERVATIVE MIND!

Damned few things does work in California it’s the most screwed up state in the country.
It’s why it’s filled with wimps winos dopers utopians and street hobos it’s where leadership is called racism.
Electric fire trucks waiting a recharge?
