LA is ablaze; 𝕏 brings the world its news

[Into the Night]

None of the fires are in LA. Los Angeles(LA) is a city within Los Angeles County (LA County). The fires are in and around Pasadena, not LA. A real news source would get that right.

All the fires I listed are in greater L.A.
Only one fire is near Pasadena.

 

[Into the Night]

The fires are not in LA, so not the immediate concern of the Mayor of LA. Pasadena has another mayor, who is not the mayor of LA.

No fire is in the town of Pasadena.

 

[Into the Night]

It's a part of the LA metroplex, so you're just being weird here.

All the first I listed are in L.A. county. Wally is just playing word games again. Pasadena, incidentally, is IN L.A. County, and there are no fires in the town of Pasadena. The closest is the Eaton fire, up in the hills NE of Pasadena.

 

[Into the Night]

Newark is part of the New York Metropolitan area, but the Mayor of New York has no authority there.

Word games won't work here, Wally. ALL the fires I listed are in L.A. County.

 

[Diogenes]

Big influx of new residents in TX very soon.

Perhaps.

Since you mentioned Texas, remember the frenzied furious fussy fustian furore when Ted Cruz was in Mexico during the ice storm in 2021?

I so don't see any JPP leftists commenting on Mayor Bass being absent in Ghana....

Fire hydrants dry because nobody filled the reservoirs.
Environmentalists refuse to allow brush to be removed.
The LBGTQIAXYZPDM fire chief is touting her DEI hiring,

The mayor is out of the country,
The governor is a greasy haired waste of skin,
EV's running out of charge are being pushed off the road with dozers so firefighters can get through,
Other than that CA is just wonderful.

California Caught Off Guard By Massive Fires After LA Fire Dept Spent Years Pushing Diversity, ‘Racial Equity’​

When are the residents of CA going to learn? Perhaps their treatment from FEMA will be the same as the residents of Maui? I doubt that to be true.

I dont know if it is true but I saw a claim that to do normal fire risk reduction vegetation clearance citizens need to get a permit.

This sounds too crazy to be true but one of the YouTube channels I watch has people who own land in Puerto Rico...they were shocked to learn that it is illegal to remove bamboo unless it comes down in a storm.

I'm hearing that a lot of homeowners in this area had their fire insurance cancelled by a number of insurance companies (liberty mutual, state farm, etc.), in the last couple months. Interesting timing. Giving me Maui vibes.

Not enough water. Remember, environmentalists managed to cause several reservoirs to be removed.

Many of those homes have this thing in the backyard called a "swimming pool." Pacific Palisades is a upper-class suburban area, not dense city housing. Like this modest home there:

Pools have 10,000 to 30,000 gallons of water in them typically. That means with a generator, a pump, and the rooftop fire suppression system, you have the means to deliver water spray for something like 20 to 40 hours to your rooftop, more than enough time to keep the house from burning down. You can even buy systems that can be remotely controlled from anywhere via a satellite or internet wireless link these days.

For those "fancy" houses, you can use installed irrigation sprinklers along with installed rooftop sprinklers to cover the home and grounds in spray as the fire approaches. You pool and the pump are a substitute for your waterline supply should the pressure drop using an automatic valve system with pressure sensors.

For those too poor to afford the full luxurious system, the sprinklers on the roof you put there yourself with a portable generator (say about $500) and a pump to pull water from the pool (another $250 or so--assuming you don't use the pool pump on bottom suction only) allows for plenty of suppression in most cases.

Did I just mishear Sky News ? 100mph firestorm ?

It's only 90 mph... or so says the weather guessers. And, yes, that will create a firestorm in heavy brush areas or areas with heavy fuel loads.

The LAFD instituted a “racial equity plan” to end “systemic, institutional, and structural racism” in LA.


Here's a chart they use to map out the race of every employee to make sure they’re racially diverse enough:

LA might not have water coming out of their fire hydrants, but they do have the first gay, female fire chief!


Fight fire with inclusivity!

But, but, but hiring quotas by race and gender are racist, sexist, and illegal...

The literal fucking city of Lost Angeles would beg to differ, you lying cunt.

Pacific Palisades | Council District 11

Pacific Palisades, where the biggest of the three fires is, is in district 11 of THE CITY OF Los Angeles, the city, which this bitch is the mayor of.

Poor Salty Walty. His logic is faulty.

Californians have to be some of the stupidest people on Earth. For less than $1000 you can get something like this:

And there's about a 95% chance you house doesn't burn to the ground in one of these wildfires.

You'd think, but remember the governor banned cities from collecting rainwater from those huge rains last year so actual water is limited. When a fire starts, then its in high demand especially if a pumping station gets hit by the fire, leading to no water for your sprinkler.

Meet Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley.

She boasts about being the first female and LGBTQ fire chief in the LA Fire Department.

Promoting a culture of DEI is her priority.

Newark is part of the New York Metropolitan area, but the Mayor of New York has no authority there.

Pacific palisades, on the other hand, where the largest fire is, is not just part of the LA metro area but part of District 11 of the FUCKING CITY of Los Angeles, you lying twat.

Bass is the mayor of LA, not LA County.

She is, indeed, the mayor of LA. Where the pacific palisades exists as part of its 11th city district.

Yep, one of the fires is actually in LA city (Pacific Palisades) to boot.
