It’s weird, I don’t remember you blaming republicans for hurricanes in Republican states, or for the winter freeze that killed hundreds when the power went out in Texas. Imagine if it was a Democrat governor who left to go to Cancun during it, we’d never hear the end of it from you

Why would we blame DeSantis for hurricanes hitting Florida? You have the inside track on how to stop that? What matters is how he handled the aftermath. He has always been on top of it.

And Ted Cruz isn't the governor of Texas. He doesn't have administrative authority to manage those problems. But for the record the people in charge of the Texas power grid got ripped for it. Rightfully so.

LAFD was 8% black in 1980. Adam Carolla did not miss out on a job because of his skin color. Maybe the FD wasn't interested in a teenager with a D average in HS? Or maybe he just made the whole story up?

He applied at 19 and received notification to test 7 years later. Are you figuring the FD decided he was finally old enough, wise enough to apply? The current FD chief said on video that her focus is on increasing diversity.

Compare that with the BILLIONS in L.A. in a much smaller area. There's simply no way to prevent a widespread wildfire on the prairie but you'd think in areas right next to the second largest city in the country where they have high risk for fire that they'd take preventive measures.

Get it? Got it? Good!

That's probably the dumbest statement I've heard from you. Wildfires in CA is and will always be apart of the state's ecosystem. Weather and topography make firefighting harder than anywhere else in the country.

LA has fires every year. They've never had a fire like this because of the timing of the wind and fire. Water doesn't do anything for hurricane force winds. And again they had water. When every single block is on fire, it's going to strain water resources. It really isn't that hard to understand if you weren't so bent on politicizing it.

They didn't have the water. The high winds kept the helicopters and planes from dropping retardant but if the fire trucks had hydrants with water they could've fought it and lessened the damage. They had no choice but to let it burn.

Can't prevent 100 mph winds from exploding a fire.

They had water. You just like spreading false information like most Trumpers.

Which is why when you have the potential for wildfires right up to the second largest city in the country you do everything possible to mitigate the severity of the fires. That involves removing fuel that feeds the fires and to have a water infrastructure that is ready to fight the fires. You don't just tell residents that there's nothing we can do if a fire comes.

Biden lets slip real reason LA fire hydrants were dry

Joe Biden claimed that Los Angeles fire hydrants hadn't run dry because of a water shortage but due to power being cut to water pumps due to the killer wildfires.
www.dailymail.co.uk www.dailymail.co.uk


The fact is the utilities, understandably, shut off power because they are worried the lines that carried energy were going to be blown down and spark additional fires.

'When it did that, it cut off the ability to generate pumping the water, that's what caused the lack of water in these hydrants.'

In an attempt to rectify the situation, Biden said Cal Fire and other state officials are bringing in generators.
