Oh...... Here we go. This fire has Democrat failure written all over it.
The response time for the Palisade Fire was 45 minutes. And they knew the winds would cause high likelyhood of fires. How were more firetrucks and firemen not on standby. I mean, when hurricanes are incoming, the power companies stage a huge number linemen, power poles and trucks to be ready to go after the storm passes.
How in the fuck was the response time 45 minutes. It should be been minutes.
Fire response time performance measurements evaluate “response time” by FEMS emergency vehicles to Fire (G2) Class 3 (C3) “structure fire” incidents (please click here for an explanation of FEMS call types). “Highest Priority” Fire calls (C3) are considered “very time sensitive” and “immediately...

NFPA Standard 1710 establishes an 80 second “turnout time” and 240 second “travel time” (together, 320 seconds or 5 minutes and 20 seconds “response time”) benchmark time goal for not less than 90% of dispatched incidents (please

“percentage of structure fire calls when a first responding fire engine arrived in 5 minutes 20 seconds or less.”
Unfortunately, this fire is a series of multiple Democrat fuck ups that are going to lead to the worst fire in terms of damage in US history.
Insufficent staffing, late response time, inadequate water supply... Uncontrolled fire
Prison time isn't too much to ask for some of these Government Officials.
These people earn $300k on the low end... and almost $1 million on the high end.
And what the fuck are they doing? DEI initiatives?

Fire officials made the critical decision to forgo calling in scores of extra firefighters and equipment in the hours before the fire, according to internal documents reviewed by The Times.

Los Angeles fire bosses deployed just a fraction of its firefighters and trucks to the deadly Palisades Fire until it was already out of control — sending just five of the 40 available fire engines and holding back 1,000 firefighters, according to a damning new report.
The critical decisions — blasted by experts and ex-fire chiefs as a spate of “missteps” — were made even as extreme warnings were coming in about life-threatening winds that turned the blaze into the most destructive in Los Angeles history.
“You would have had a better chance to get a better result if you deployed those engines,” former LAFD Battalion Chief Rick Crawford told
the Los Angeles Times.
“You give yourself the best chance to minimize how big the fire could get. … If you do that, you have the ability to say, ‘I threw everything at it at the outset.’”
That didn’t happen here,” he continued, adding the choices were part of a “domino effect of missteps” by officials.
