The legislative Democrats have been busily serving their masters in the employee unions by mandated ‘four-man’ staffing on engine companies. The result of that is few engine companies. Four three man engines are more helpful than three four-man when it comes to this kind of fire.

The California National Guard has deployed 200 of its 610 Operation Jumpstart border troops to help at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and Qualcomm Stadium.
More National Guard troops are expected to come to the fairgrounds to comfort elderly patients who have not been sent to other facilities.

Prayers up for all firefighters, cops and civilians - everyone.
Amen to that.
Amazing how a crisis seems to define people.
Brings out the worst in some - i.e. looters and others do unbelievable acts of bravery and self-sacrifice.

It’s a battle for resources....OC area may have the least people and structures at risk...and they have gone public to hold onto them....they had 8 or so Firemen that had to use their fire shelters yesterday as the fire swept over them...I think Normsrevenge posted a picture.....

But last night during the press conference at around 10 pm they were thanking everyone for the great response, the communication, etc...
Go figure!

Having posted that number, now I keep seeing that it is 300000 people evacuated. But I know the news station said 325000 homes, because the reporter repeated it. At any rate, a heck of a lot of people!
