Someone needs to investigate if there has been some sort or land purchasing dispute between entities or any other special interest. The fire department is too chill about this
You realize that was only a 2% cut from a $837 million firefighting budget. Also the fire department overspent by $66.6 million anyways so this was a non issue in my opinion. Although the Mayor does deserve a lot of criticism!
Most of these fires are man made. Whether intentionally or not. Homes should not be re-built in these areas. Thats why insurance companies are leaving Cali.
Spend money on prevention. I worked wildland fire for a few years. During the off-season, leadership made zero attempt to clear dead and downed fuel sources that significantly increased the temperature during a forest or brush fire. Additionally, overgrown ladder fuels, like shrubs, let the fire climb up the trees, and they start crowning. Federal firefighters like this because they make tons of money during a few months of fire season. It's actually a scam. During the off-season, they claim unemployment and travel. Govt dime and more government dime. The other thing that frustrates me is the dead wildlife and loss of habitat. Prevention techniques would lesson the impacts of every wildland fire. It won't stop them, but they won't be as destructive. Fires are also necessary for a healthy forest, they must be less intense.
😂 Wow, a fire in the unmanaged overgrown land in California. Think it's time to manage your forests. Really!? They are proud of spending taxpayers' money on response and not prevention. That sounds like the NOLO response. Post incident actions mean very little. Lives and / or property are already lost. As soon as the winds pick up tomorrow, all air assets will be grounded.
A bunch of those planes are from BC and Quebec! Go Canada!!! Love seeing our guys helping out.
They were so good at predicting the fire, they asked the public not to park on the road the day before.
Crazy. They just said yesterday the winds will bring fires and here we are today cali on fire again as always.
Thanks to the courageous firefighters keeping governor Newsom’s hair gel from igniting😂

This happens every year, it's not the most shocking event.
Not like this
Figured this would happen
I could see the super scoopers fly over the houses and mountains from my school
100 mph winds are being reported to come tonight and tomorrow. 😮
Wednesday August 8th 2018 - I had this event with like in Corona California
that’s why it’s so windy
Doesn’t look like 100 mph winds
Mayor cuts firefighters budget by $17 million. What can go wrong?

2018 all over again
Not aging well.
Democrats? The fire is fine
Trump's going to tell you that you need to keep your woods better swept and vacuumed like they do in Finland. 😅

And No Water!!! Thank You Liberals 😂😂😂
Trump Forever
@mikefeltner4216 He's really old and obviously sick. The faux tan is makeup.
Trump for a few months ... maybe.
@mikefeltner4216 Why? What did the Liberals do with the water?
I thought that California was dry?
