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.
Failure of city officials.
Rick Caruso would have been an amazing mayor! Was listening to him just now too!
Caruso developed the only few walkable and beautiful public spaces in LA. everything else is crap!
I was surprised to hear him just put the truth out there on live TV.
Fire they were showing was in our near one of his shopping centers v
I think Palisades Village.
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.
I heard him on Fox live and he is livid.
Mayor Bass is in Ghana
WTH?!
Same as Calgary. Fortunately Calgary is not as dry.
All the major cities of Globohomo are just turning to crap.
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.
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.
Ghana ???
