California wildfires

I think I can.

80 to 100 MPH wind gusts, hillsides coveted in dead brush. They said it moved fast enough for people to need to run from it. In Altdadena it burned through 20 blocks in less than an hour at one point.

It wasn't going to be anything but woulda shoulda coulda from the outset. Blame placing. While their funding SHOULD be looked at, it wouldn't have changed much. Not like they would have been able to knock it down before it spread out of control. And at that point, c'est la vie.

There's no mobilization for even 1985 Califonia. Even the best run Califonia. Even back during the record gun violence homicide California of the 80s/90s when major cities were still largely republican run would it have been any better.

There's no ground to be gained once it's starts. By the time a first unit can arrive its beyond confronting.

While running out of water didn't help, and a full reservoir would have been nice, the speed at which sustained 40-50 MPH winds, gusting to near 100 moves fire is not benefiting from 100% more firefighters and unlimited water. They were on their own. It was too windy to even fly.

It's good to bring up their funding issues, but it's sorta ignorant to the speed of it all even to think the impact was at all critical to a 2% cut in funding operating and 16 too few stations, and inoperable hydrants.
