CA is nothing more than a Marxist enclave "led" by useful idiots who wish the entire country to become one.... Sad... Spectacularly beautiful state... Lots of great folks out there.... Just saw that the Marxist state of Idaho currently has 18 wildfires.

Funny we hear nothing about the Hawaii fire anymore. Or the damage in the Carolinas. People still without utilities and permanent shelter. Exactly, and our current administration has pledged 180 days of endless money to a very wealthy CA, but ignores others...

I guess thats the easy out, i just dont think a mayor or a governor whatever flag they fly is going to solve any problems.
I fought fires across the country and i can tell you the fires went out not matter what party was in office. Nobody wants to pay for what it will take to truly fix this problem. Thats what it is. its a huge expense.
If you care to know how the government has treated wildland firefighters over time, maybe that would shed some light on why the issues exist. The republicans candidate who lost the Los Angeles mayoral race predicted this, made it a part of his platform, and has totally been vindicated this week. Hell, President Trump has been talking about the fire dangers and lack of preparedness in California for years. Newsome and the other ding dongs running things in that state for sure don’t have the wherewithal to even attempt anything. Hydrants ran out of water, they apparently don’t have the necessary equipment to run ocean water (maybe you can expand on that, because I’m not sure what the issue is and why it wouldn’t be common sense for coastal towns to have the option), and they do nothing to capture rain/snowmelt, or do any maintenance. This is a one in 1000 year situation and would have been bad no matter what, but people have been talking about the lack of action and preparation, in this area specifically, for years. Some sort of planning/attempt/anything surely wouldve made a difference. The yahoos out there refuse to do it. Or even try. The fires are going to go out no matter what. That’s for sure. What’s left afterwards could either be bad, or it could be catastrophic, like it is now, and there was zero percent containment two days in to the first fire. That was before the others popped up. Wildland firefighters have my utmost respect and your information on this thread has been great. But I disagree that no mayor or governor could’ve taken action prior to this week and not made any difference. People have been talking about it for years. Saltwater destroys firefighting equipment and can sterilize property, its really not the best thing for fighting wildifres. They are using CL215s, and they are scooping from the ocean, so some saltwater is being used, but all of those fire engines would be rust buckets if they used salt water.

City government data also shows that for the 2023-2024 fiscal year, Los Angeles budgeted $837 million for the Los Angeles Fire Department, which was roughly 65% the size of the homeless budget of $1.3 billion. An analysis by L.A.'s city comptroller last year found that roughly half the budget for homelessness went unspent. LA County or City of LA? City

Exactly, and our current administration has pledged 180 days of endless money to a very wealthy CA, but ignores others... Specifically western North Carolina, etc... pretty transparent if you ask me. Doesn't our "sdavis" live out there on the coast somewhere? I hope he is not in the fire path. Appreciate the concern, but I'm way north of these fires. I've kept my mouth shut for a reason. Southern California gets what Southern California deserves Gods country IMOP... beautiful and great folks. It always amazes me how folks can think so differently from the nut cases in Sacramento, San Fran/Berkeley, LA, etc. Not sure exactly where the "common sense line" is, but, it's definitely NE of San Fran somewhere...

Now, morally corrupt lowlifes are said to be looting in evacuated areas, 12 arrested so far. The national guard has been sent in. Disgusting

I bet a lot of incriminating evidence against pedowood has been destroyed. Sad for the average citizens. Not for the Hollywood elite.

Slicefixer, clearly you have more to learn about California Hehehe.... quite possibly... Care to elaborate?? As you know nothing about me, nor my background, nor who I know or have known in CA, nor anything about my time and experience in CA over the past 4 decades, etc I'm genuinely very curious. Please copy and paste whatever statement I've made in this thread that formed your conclusion. Please be specific in your explanation, etc.
