Indeed.

Well they are close to the ocean, so no shortage of water there.

But seriously; they would only have to install them every so often. Then, when the fires start they turn them on and they act as fire-break. Better than a highway.

I'm sure The Don has it all planned out.

It's about the people who believe in dumb azz ideas. Since you claim that you're clueless as to what this post addresses then that's the evidence that you're one of those people. No wake up call for you? No five alarm bells ringing nonstop in your head? Rose coloured glasses do that to people, I hear.

Dude, you mean to tell me that this uncontained fire and the massive destruction it's caused and is still causing - not simply the property casualty but the human suffering - has nothing to do with the policies of the woke California Democratic "leadership" in California who control the state with an iron fist? Now that's a dumb azz idea.

Calm down dear, calm down.

When you lack a reasoned response addressing points made you can always just deflect with a clever sounding sarcastic and meaningless response. Libs are famous for using that tactic to take attention away from their own failings.

Dude, why not simply address the failures in policies and discuss how those contributed to the disaster? At least responding rationally would be what any serious poster would do. Is that too much for you?

Where'd you go, Willy? No response? Too much for you to take a look at the policies?

Is it a total pack of lies, the God honest truth or a serious distortion of the facts.

If it is the truth where does that leave you regarding the likes of Musk and his tweets?

FACT: The number of CalFIRE personnel has nearly doubled since 2019 (from 5,829 to 10,741)

FACT: CalFIRE’s budget has nearly doubled since 2019 ($2 Billion to $3.8 Billion)

LIE – These Wildfires are Caused by California’s Mismanagement of Forest Lands

FACT: The budget for managing the forest (AKA “raking the forest”) is now TEN TIMES larger than it was when Governor Newsom took office. It was a $200 million annual budget in 2018. The state has now invested $2 billion, in addition to the $200 million annually.

FACT: California dramatically ramped up state work to increase wildland and forest resilience, as well as adding unprecedented resources to support wildfire response. California officials treated more than 700,000 acres of land for wildfire resilience in 2023, and prescribed fires more than doubled between 2021 and 2023.

Okay you get the award for dumbest post of the week not just the day.

You are continuing the petty blame game during the biggest natural disaster in America's history, wow the size of your heart astonishes all of us.

Just a little bit of information for your engineering challenged mind.

Absolutely zero connection with the reservoirs upstate. Just a biased, tired, untruthful political meme.

The real story?
Officials now say the storage tanks that hold water for high-elevation areas like the Highlands, and the pumping systems that feed them, could not keep pace with the demand as the fire raced from one neighborhood to another. That was in part because those who designed the system did not account for the stunning speeds at which multiple fires would race through the Los Angeles area this week.

“We are looking at a situation that is just completely not part of any domestic water system design,” said Marty Adams, a former general manager and chief engineer at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, which is responsible for delivering water to nearly four million residents of Los Angeles.

Municipal water systems are designed for firefighters to tap into multiple hydrants at once, allowing them to maintain a steady flow of water for crews who may be trying to protect a large structure or a handful of homes. But these systems can buckle when wildfires, such as those fueled by the dry brush that surrounds Los Angeles’s hillside communities, rage through entire neighborhoods.

Such drama queen bunkum. It wasn't a political party you don't like that destroyed homes in LA. It was a fire. Even cavemen understood what fire is.

So there were no LA fires during Trump's term in office?

2017

• Skirball Fire: Burned in December 2017 near the Bel-Air neighborhood of Los Angeles, causing property damage and evacuations.

• La Tuna Fire: In September 2017, this fire burned in the Verdugo Mountains near Burbank and was one of the largest wildfires in Los Angeles history at the time.

2018

• Woolsey Fire: In November 2018, this fire started in Ventura County and spread to parts of Los Angeles County, including Malibu. It caused significant destruction, burning nearly 97,000 acres and destroying over 1,600 structures.

• Hill Fire: Occurred around the same time as the Woolsey Fire and affected areas in Ventura and Los Angeles counties.

2019

• Getty Fire: In October 2019, this fire burned in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles, prompting evacuations and threatening homes.

• Saddleridge Fire: In October 2019, this fire burned in the San Fernando Valley, destroying homes and forcing thousands to evacuate.

2020

• Bobcat Fire: Burned in the San Gabriel Mountains in September 2020, becoming one of the largest fires in Los Angeles County history. It burned over 115,000 acres.

• Lake Fire: Burned in August 2020 in the Angeles National Forest, destroying several structures.

Trump’s administration faced criticism from California officials over disaster response and funding.

You don't get it, Lacessit. Just as you dismiss assertions that the LA fires had nothing to do with climate change, due to lack of evidence, so too do any assertions that they were caused by climate change get dismissed for the same reason; lack of evidence.

Academic credentials be damned. We've been witnessing the destruction of the U.S. in large part because it's been run in large part by academics . Those folks are quick to say "common sense be damned." Academics are not gods and are as fallible as any uneducated person. That seems to be beyond your comprehension as you consistently put these people up on pedestals.

Anyway, the 2024 election showed that your views have been weighed and measured by the people and have been wholly rejected. Tough titties. It's high time for sane change.

You don't get it at all. You have no evidence whatsoever the fires were NOT caused by climate change.

Here's my evidence: LA had record rainfalls the two previous years, then a drought. Ideal conditions for creating fuel, then high winds to compound the problem.

Ignorance be damned. Any person with an understanding of the laws of thermodynamics knows those laws are the cause of 240 gigatons a year of Greenland ice melting, of record heat cells in Australia, and of high winds. As the planet warms up, wind speeds in hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones increase, ask any meteorologist. What makes you think the Santa Anna winds are immune to such change?

Yes, the people have spoken, and 50% are as dumb as rocks. What is sane about electing a climate denier, felon, and sexual predator as the most powerful leader on Earth?

America used to lead the world in education. It has slipped back quite badly, and you are evidence of that fall from grace.

Perhaps this recent onset of La Niña should be considered? Quite dry over the last two months in southern Cali but with stronger coastal winds than normal for the season.

Ran into a guy yesterday who moved away from this area a few years ago because he felt all of the development taking place there was a recipe for disaster. As a lifelong resident he remembered it always being dry with the Santa Ana winds sweeping the canyons.

Currently, humanity has warmed the oceans by 1.1 degrees C. That number might sound insignificant, but represents an unimaginable amount of energy.

The Tsar Bomba is the most powerful nuclear device ever detonated by man. It released an estimated 210 petajoules of energy.

To warm the oceans by 1 degree C requires 5,730,000 petajoules, or approximately 273,000 Tsar Bombas.

I haven't done the math, but I am guessing the result of warming the oceans by one more degree would result in winds of 300-500 km/hr.

The fires have been happening many years prior to Trump !

I posted the LAPD “design for disaster” video from 1962 ! Same issues , same crisis . P poor water management and ground maintenance issues .

The dems have owned that state governor’s office for the last 13 years.

But thats ok , cause after the political fall out , the mayor & Governor will have a nil chance of

Buyers remorse:

“It’s so crazy we have leaders that are reactive rather than proactive,” Soon-Shiong said during an appearance on NewsNation’s “On Balance.” “We have to ask ourselves where are we spending the money and why. Where is the actual planning of preparing for this”.

Somebody needs to tell him how

much went migrants.

“California to offer 700,000 illegal immigrants free healthcare as deficit soars and population shrinks”.

“The free health insurance for illegal immigrants is expected to cost $2.6 billion annually”.

“California has been providing free health insurance to illegal immigrants who are under 26-years-old since 2019”.

Maria Shriver latest to rip Dem leadership over LA fires.

“LA cannot go forward with the Status quo”.

https://nypost.com/2025/01/13/us-news/maria-shriver-says-los-angeles-needs-leadership-change-after-wildfires-cannot-go-forward-with-the-status-quo/

reminds me of :

Oh Maria Maria

I said a la favela los colores
The streets are getting hotter
There is no water to put out the fire
Ni gota de esperanza
Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
Then I looked up in the sky
Hoping that there's a paradise, yeah, yeah
