Los Angeles fire hydrants are OUT OF WATER because the county REFUSED to refill reservoirs, per Rick Caruso
“You can’t fight a fire without water!”
The Mayor did ZERO prep despite the advanced warning of winds and fire risk.
This is EXACTLY what happened on Maui!
...
This is not climate change, this is criminal negligence.
...
Yet my notifications are full of leftists screeching about climate change.
Ask them why you need a permit to clear highly-flammable brush out of your own backyard.
...
The mayor is out of the country. She also cut la fire services by millions this year.
...
She KNEW there was a high chance of this happening today but she decided to stay in Ghana anyway?? Wtf???
...
They apparently didn’t learn a THING from the Maui disaster.
...
That $56 billion dollars sent to Ukraine sure could have built a better infrastructure for California to battle wild fires that happen every single year in the 50+ years I've been alive. This last 4 years of Build Back Better sure has been awesome, hasn't it...?
...
Must be all that diversity hiring.
...
James Wood posted that a major insurance companies canceled fire coverage 4 months ago. If the state starts reaching for land grabs like they did in NC, I'm going to start thinking this was a plan (ie, can't help rebuild, but we'll buy it for half the value)
Saving the snail darter?
“We don’t need no water.....”
The Sierra Club fires.
These cities run by Democrat mayors like LA and New Orleans and NYC are wonderful places to live.
The first ever LA County LBTQ fire chief had her focus on DEI things instead of fire fighting things.
Hey Californians. Keep voting for democrats, things are sure to get better.
They’ll vote for her again if she comes back from vacation
If you’re a brainwashed leftist.
Why do you suppose the semi-literate use both ‘$’ and the word ‘dollars’ to refer to the same number? Obviously they didn’t preview their post, but, more fundamentally, what is going on in their mind when creating the statement. Short attention span? What does that say for the credibility of their observation if they can’t manage a 3rd Grade level task?
I saw elsewhere on FR that the Mayor of LA had actually *cut* the firefighting budget for this year by $20 million.
Leftists create a problem, then offer to solve it in freedom-crushing or ineffective and senseless ways.
Can’t remember which Raymond Chandler novel it was as I read all his novels, some more than once.
Anyway Chandler went off on Los Angeles.
Said something like LA was for losers.
It was a place where losers come, fit in, and can appear to be successful.
That was the gist of what he wrote anyway.
But they were all backslapping and congratulating each other early yesterday during that news conference.
Might have been otto-corrupt and lack of proofreading.
Thanks for posting. HORRIBLE, irreplaceable losses. Any totals on the death of individuals?
When my home owners insurance company left California, that’s when I decided to leave too.
San Fernando Valley is called the “Porn Capital” of America
Just sayin’
Yup, coulda built a few reservoirs and a nuke plant for $56 billion.
