Los Angeles On Fire

You should really focus on things that are more your speed, like just HOW does a thermos know whether to keep things hot or cold?!
Just throw in the towel, trying to defend Newsom and his ilk is making you look pathetic.
Lol. I don't give a rats ass about him.
I'm here to shoot down maga inspired stupidity
And some point the woke morons here are going to have to stop apologizing for the Cali Fools' Parade >
Congratulations to California for becoming the largest source of air pollution and carbon emissions due to their own incompetence.
One of my favorite MAGA archetypes are the ones that pearl clutch over being told to **** off when their entire movement is based on being loud mouthed aholes calling everyone names. You guys are programmed to feel and express instant poutrage yet drive around with Let’s Go Brandon and **** Joe Biden flags.
I guess the little DEI hire was correct, demand definitely outweighed supply!! 🤡 🤣 >

State to probe why Pacific Palisades reservoir was offline, empty when firestorm exploded
A reservoir in the Palisades that holds 117 million gallons of water was offline this month for previously scheduled maintenance.

Congrats for finally catching up…
Lol. So you saw me arguing over why hydrants didn't have water and you somehow thought I didn't I understand that they didn't have water?
How does that make any sense? Are you retarded? It was implicit in the conversation we were having. Lol jesus
Someone should be held criminally negligent, much of what transpired could have been avoided!I guess the little DEI hire was correct, demand definitely outweighed supply!! 🤡 🤣 >

Sad, Truly sad.
That is such a disingenuous click bait headline - the picture is from 2022, the article goes on at length as to why the reservoir was empty.I guess the little DEI hire was correct, demand definitely outweighed supply!! 🤡 🤣 >

You - "Mainstream media lies!!!!"
Also you - "Look at this mainstream media story I found that supposedly supports my idiotic takes!!!!"
Is that you or one of your parents?
So, "empty" because it was closed for repairs, not due to liberal policies. I guess LA Officials should have consulted with the fire first to get on the same maintenance schedule. You dicksicles are so gd stupid.

Your point? We don't have 1:1 ratios between water tanks and hydrants. Many hydrants to one tank. They could've been dry because the tank was losing pressure due to other fire fighting efforts.
City officials came out and said there was a problem with keeping the tanks replenished. (hence dry hydrants)
It looks like an infrastructure problem for the dry hydrants. I'm sure it has been a big risk for decades. Probably because A) they hadn't had the worst-case-scenario we're seeing now, B) it would be extremely costly to do, C) it would be extremely time consuming and potentially disruptive to city life.
Basically all the same reasons an old bridge is left in place. (until it starts falling apart)
Fire breaks would have had limited effect in this scenario give you had extreme winds raining down embers on houses near the ocean from the hills 100s of feet above them.
They do clear brush and have ordinances surrounding this issue. What evidence do we have that this was a big issue?
But this is what you were dealing with. (see below) Clearing the hills of brush was not a feasible thing to do. LA made a mistake when they allowed people to move out into the hills.
Thanks for the detailed response.
However, any way you slice it they were still woefully unprepared. Maybe the state, city, and LAFD's main focus should be fire prevention engineering instead of social engineering?
To the extent this is an infrastructure problem it will now be remedied. The proverbial closing of the barn door, after the fact however. This is utter devastation. No way in hell will this gross mismanagement be allowed to continue. Such a shame an apocalypse needed to occur first.
I think there may be some merit to some of your points, but do you still maintain there was no mismanagement?

What was [their] backup plan in case, you know, there was a fire? 😂🥇🤡So, "empty" because it was closed for repairs, not due to liberal policies. I guess LA Officials should have consulted with the fire first to get on the same maintenance schedule. You dickcicles are so gd stupid.

I guess divert that $100k to digging a second reservoir to cover down during the maintenance.
And it was scheduled for now because...it's the 'rainy season' in CA, not the 'fire season'.So, "empty" because it was closed for repairs, not due to liberal policies.

But, something, something libs!
Things sure burn famously out there during the "rainy season!" 🤡
Maybe, just maybe having another could have helped taking one down for maintenance.So, "empty" because it was closed for repairs, not due to liberal policies. I guess LA Officials should have consulted with the fire first to get on the same maintenance schedule. You dicksicles are so gd stupid.

I know what their new backup plan should be...hire you clowns since y'all so brilliant.
Do you think the Santa Ana wind season was a good time to take it offline?So, "empty" because it was closed for repairs, not due to liberal policies. I guess LA Officials should have consulted with the fire first to get on the same maintenance schedule. You dicksicles are so gd stupid.

Still butt hurt I see, your boyfriend is probably getting impatient.
Maybe so, but I certainly have additional questions:
- What is the cost for a second reservoir?
- How often is maintenance performed on the primary?
- Would the cost outweigh the likelihood of its use? (I'm guessing $20mil+ to build one)
- How true is this statement?
“You still would have ended up with serious drops in pressure,” Adams said in an interview Thursday. “Would Santa Ynez [Reservoir] have helped? Yes, to some extent. Would it have saved the day? I don’t think so.”
Maybe not. So who/what is at fault:
A. Diverted DEI funds
B. $100K spent on a trans cafe
C. Liberal policies
D. Elected officials making a dumbass decision
I'm thinking D.
Cost is no object for the millions of ILLEGALS Gavin is nannying!!
I thought you said to basically quit arguing with them?
Oh, and I have the same question. LOL
Blog’s i’ve seen say probably $500 million for LA county.
Could have built around 6 for about 25% of what they’ve wasted on the train project.
So, kinda like a $223 million "bridge to nowhere", another 12million for some dumb ass columns in DC, or my favorite 1.7 trillion on the F-35. Those are all money well spent, though, because they were Republican-led endeavors.
Meh. Fvck it, I'm retired. They're retarded. It's just entertainment at this point.
Seems like $20 mil+ would be a pretty cheap investment considering:
One preliminary estimate from AccuWeather, a weather forecasting site, calculated that the total damage and economic loss from the fires across L.A. County could cost between $135 billion and $150 billion.
So you're going with option D, then. Failed planning not DEI training and an LGBTQ Fire Chief is what led to this disaster? If they had the back-up reservoir, all fires extinguished, no issues?
I don’t know who “you guys” is supposed to be. I don’t belong to either political club and certainly not MAGA. The incompetence of both parties is staggering and the name-calling from both extremes exhausting. The fact that neither could come up with somebody to defeat Trump is disturbing.
Nope, option D s just part of the Democrats failure here, DEI and LGBTQ were part of it too.
You're so blind if you think there were not failures with elected leadership in California and the cancerous policies they embrace.
The rainy season was a good time to take it off line. Not the fire season. Unfortunately LA hasn't gotten any rain this winter.
Perhaps if they asked a psychic when the rains would fail they could have planned better! Who do you use?
