Gavin Nuisance DEfunded the fire department and FUNDED the Gay Choir

[scruffy]

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.

The dumb fuckers at LADWP cut the power and THEN delivered generators 16 hours later.

THAT is dumbass leftards in action.

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.

The reservoirs were EMPTY.

Because they FAILED TO FILL THEM.

Not because they didn't have the capacity.

As urban growth spreads into wilderness areas around the country and climate change brings more challenging fire conditions, an increasing number of cities have confronted a sudden loss of water available for firefighting, most recently in Talent, Ore.; Gatlinburg, Tenn.; and Ventura County, Calif.

The problem can be especially acute during high-wind conditions, like those Los Angeles experienced this week, when firefighting aircraft could not safely make their usual aerial drops of water and fire retardant.

SIXTEEN ******* HOURS LATER they brought the generators.

Leftards are INCOMPETENT.

Never put a leftard in charge of anything.

In Louisville, Colo., as firefighters were nearing depletion of water supplies in 2022, crews took the extraordinary step of pushing untreated water through the system. In 2023, on the Hawaiian island of Maui, firefighters battling a wildfire found their hydrants running dry as flames churned through the community of Lahaina, killing 102 people in the country’s deadliest wildfire in more than a century.

In that case, firefighters were confronted with many homes and pipes being destroyed simultaneously, causing water to gush across yards and streets when firefighters needed it in their hydrants

More EXCUSES from the dumbass leftards.

Municipal water systems like the one in Los Angeles are designed to handle heavy loads, including those from large fires that might require multiple fire trucks to tap into the system at the same time.

No shit, Sherlock.

Getting water to the upper reaches of hillside communities like Pacific Palisades can be a challenge. There, water is collected in a reservoir that pumps into three high-elevation storage tanks, each with a capacity of about one million gallons. Water then flows by gravity into homes and fire hydrants.

But the pump-and-storage system was designed for a fire that might consume several homes, not one that would consume hundreds, said Mr. Adams, the former leader of the city’s water department.

Another shit for brains leftard.

14 billion dollar water bond and ZERO new reservoirs.

“If this is going to be a norm, there is going to have to be some new thinking about how systems are designed,” he said.

DON'T LET LEFTARDS DESIGN THEM !!!

Hey man, I'm Democrat, and only read past the headline. Can you give a guy a link to this gay choir?

I dream they're given the freedom of self expression, and do that walk too. Been working on that. Just walk fast, and hope the rest comes unnatural.

The LA Gay Choir is actually quite excellent.

They perform regularly at churches all over the city. And at important events.

They do deserve public funding, in my opinion. Arts are important. They're a major tourist attraction in LA.

WE THE PEOPLE , MAGA Patriots object to the gargantuan mismanagement of the LA Fire Department and fire hydrants while the City prioritizes ..... the Gay Choir

Los Angeles Remains Aflame, But At Least It Has a Gay Choir

If your city was engulfed with flames, would you rather have water or a transgender cafe? Unfortunately, Los Angeles residents only seem to possess the latter. A deep dive into LA County’s budget reveals that Mayor Karen Bass allocated tens of thousands of FY 2024-25 dollars to a “Midnight Stroll Transgender Cafe,” a “Gay Men’s Chorus,” and other homosexual pride programs while cutting nearly $18 million from the fire department and failing to ensure the city’s hydrants were properly functioning. Los Angeles cut $17.5M from fire department budget months before deadly fires Seven months before the uncontrolled Palisades Fire in Los Angeles, the city's fire department budget for this fiscal year was cut by more than $17.5 million, records show. abc11.com

What you don't think Midnight Stroll Transgender Cafe, a Gay Men’s Chorus should be a top priority for government officials and taxpayer dollars ?

bigot!

Let's take the homeless off the buses before we defund the arts.

The LA Metro budget could easily be cut by 1 billion dollars, which is more than the entire fire budget for the county.

A competent administrator could make the buses run on time, even with a billion dollar budget cut.

LA spent half a billion dollars on "all door boarding" and it still isn't working. The devices have been in place for over a year but they still haven't been programmed.

I myself personally with no help, could program those devices in 30 days. I could write the code, download it into the devices, and integrate them with the fare system, all inside of 30 days. For a lot less than half a billion dollars. If they wanted to pay me half a billion for it, I'd fund the Gay Men's Choir MYSELF so the city could save the budget.

You're a white guy with common sense , a work ethic , and abilities.....sorry

You're a white guy with common sense ,

Actually I'm sort of pink with a tinge of yellow. People call me white though. It's okay, you can call me white. It's okay to be white.

a work ethic , and abilities.....sorry

It's kinda weird out here in LA-LA land. I'm in the entertainment biz, and practically all the working producers are middle aged white men. There are very few producers of color, and almost no women at all. However the people in the big companies making the money decisions, are all leftards. The leftards hate it, but they find they have to hire white men to get anything done.

It's too bad the LA mayor wasn't smart enough to arrive at that same conclusion. Leftards are all about illusion, they're not about substance. Putting two highly paid women in charge of fire and water does not equate with getting jobs for women and gays. It's only symbolic, not substantive. All the water engineers are men. 95% of the firefighters are men. These are the people who get the job done, not the symbolic show and tell administrators.
