Palisades Fire - No water coming from hydrants. LA mayor in Ghana
Fox 11 News TV ^ | 1/7/25 | Fox 11 News - Rick Caruso

Posted on 01/07/2025 11:23:34 PM PST by ifinnegan

Fox 11 News covering Pacific Palisades Fire in Los Angeles are talking live to Rick Caruso, a major developer in LA.

He stated there is no water coming from fire hydrants because of neglect and firemen cannot spray water on the fires.

LA mayor Karen Bass is not even in the country, she’s in Ghana.

Caruso said reservoirs that provide fire hydrant water were not re-filled.

Caruso also slammed CA and LA for not clearing brush for decades.

I was surprised to hear him just put the truth out there on live TV.

Would be nice to see Newsom be forced out the same week as Trudeau.

“no water coming from fire hydrants”

That’s what caused San Francisco to burn down in the 1906 earthquake. The quake caused lateral ground motion causing guillotine breaks in water mains. Water pressure dropped to nothing.

In 1912, an emergency pumping station was built to pump sea water into the potable water pipes with sufficient pressure to overcome many guillotine pipe breaks.

Why the H would the mayor be in Ghana?
Not a vacation spot, setting up drug deals?
Or a non-extradition hideout?

Hate to say it but you get what you vote for. Perhaps some tranny dyke non binary homo queers can put out the fires.

Biden ‘borrowed’ her for a diplomatic mission.

Which should tell you just how shallow their talent bench is.

Some things are more important than fire hydrants.

Oboy, too bad I do not know how to post a big eye-roll emoji here.
If she is that close to Bidet’ I don’t suppose her actually being present to handle her job would make any difference.

L.A. voters had a very clear choice a couple years ago:

Rick Caruso: a highly competent, very successful businessman with deep roots in L.A., running on a pro-business, anti-crime, reform platform

*versus*

Karen Bass: liberal, career politician running a platform of leftism, soft-on-crime woke-ism and the decaying, declining-L.A. status quo.

By a margin of 55%-45%, L.A. voters looked at thia choice, and said, “Bass is just fine. More of the same, please” They made their bed, and now they sleep in it.

I have such fond memories of Mort’s Deli on Swarthmore back in the day. Caruso rebyukt that whole center and I have a feeling nothing will/is left of it. Also listened to him on Fox and yes, he’s PISSED.
