Los Angeles mayoral hopeful Nithya Raman wanted to ban backyard barbecues for residents during certain high fire danger days across the city.
Raman introduced a motion Wednesday directing city officials to examine emergency restrictions on grilling during Red Flag Warning days, when high winds and dry conditions significantly increase wildfire danger across Los Angeles.
The proposal specifically asks officials to consider possible limits on backyard barbecues, fire pits and other open flames in residential neighborhoods during those high-risk weather events.

Just lost the election.
I think they were pushing this during the 1990s.
Another retarded idea. Stop grilling wont keep the arsonists from setting brush fires, or will it?
White people, affluent, homeowners hit hardest.
What about curbside BBQ?
Homeless will be allowed to have open fires, of course
I don’t think it’s abut wild fires, I think it’s supposed to fight climate change.
Weird - another foreign-born, south Asian socialist / globalist suddenly rising to the top of one of America’s largest cities.
Weird how this keeps happening.
Wasn’t the Palisades fire started by arson?
someday, the Constitution will be remade into something like the koran.
just kidding, it will be the koran
Arson should carry the death penalty. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Hindu interloper.
These folks are nucking futs ...
Move it to the front yard.
they don’t like the smell of pork across the fence.
Pratt has broken new ground with his ads. Now she’s broken new ground by advocating unpopular ideas to win over the voters.
Plus it’s stupid. I’d warrant most grilling these days is gas. How does that enhance wildfire danger? Briquettes? You ever seen one of those get blown out of a barbecue? I don’t recall that I ever have. Open fires such as to toast hot dogs or marshmallows are already strictly limited. I honestly can think of any arguable idea why this would do any good at all
I guess that BLACKS never do BBQing. (/S)
I heard they wanted to ban outdoor storage of water to be used to fight fires…… 🤔🤔. Looks like they did!
My son bought an end unit town house and has a single, middle aged Indian next door neighbor.
She has lodged many complaints against him for using his smoker or his grill. She hates the smell of meat cooking.
He moved the smoker to the far corner of his lot (it is fenced), but she demanded 24 hours notice. The HOA gave in to her.
We think she just wants him to sell and leave, so an Indian can move in.
