Worst windstorm in more than 14 years fuels catastrophic fires near Los Angeles​

Worst windstorm in more than 14 years fuels catastrophic fires near Los Angeles

A state of emergency has been declared in Southern California as fierce wildfires fueled by powerful Santa Ana winds continue to rage. Thousands of residents have been forced to evacuate their homes as flames tear through coastal communities, including Santa Monica and Malibu.

Although strong winds and lack of rain are driving the blazes, experts say climate change is altering the background conditions and increasing the likelihood of such fires. US government research is unequivocal in linking climate change to larger and more severe wildfires in the western United States

Climate change: What role is it playing in the California fires

Experts say that rising global temperatures are making wild fires more likely in California.

"Worst windstorm in 14 years"???? So what's happened in the previous 13 years?
Here is a list of "worst LA fires"
NOTE: So far the Palisades is the 18th as of the 21 worst fires
So folks the 3rd worst firestorms was in 1991... again "Climate Change" is the cause???

Forest management?

These fires are blasting through urban and suburban areas nitwit

They get to those areas via the brush-choked open spaces, dipshit. Look at a map.

Why have forest fires not burned down LA in the past?

the city of Los Angeles is surrounded by many other smaller cities....

True. Once the fire reaches neighborhoods the embers from burning houses set other houses on fire. The fires usually start on the combustible roof material. If the roofs were fireproof these fires wouldn't spread. If only we could come up with roofing material that wouldn't burn, like metal, or maybe run a sprinkler system along the ridgeline and keep the roof soaking wet...hmmmm.

So they knowingly hire people who can’t do the job because of skin color or if they are gay etc….

Man am I glad this DEI bullshit is getting exposed and will be gone soon.

Is this AI? Did this "fire"person really say "he got himself into the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire"? How on earth did someone not say we probably shouldn't post such a comment?

'He got himself in the wrong place if she has to carry him out of a fire'??? Wow.... she should be fired for that statement.

One of the ways dimocrap FILTH get 'their' people into goobermint jobs is to lay them off first, downsize, right-size, cut funding, whatever, then when the time that they discover they're understaffed, they hire the people they prefer. lesbians, gays..... The Usual Suspects.

The scumbags that voted for the dimocrap FILTH knew who and what they were voting for. So **** 'em.

It's not like LA was hit with a Hurricane or an Earthquake, it was a totally preventable or, at least a totally manageable, fire. But due to the incompetence of dimocrap scum Pols...... But much moreso the stupidity of dimocrap scum VOTERS.

They got this --

The LAFD is Run by Three Lesbians Named 'Kirsten' | Frontpage Mag

The LA Fire Department went woke. Now LA is on fire.

www.frontpagemag.com

The most important thing to know about Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley is that she is the first LGBTQ fire chief in the history of the Los Angeles Fire Department.

It’s also the only thing worth knowing about the woman in charge while Los Angeles burned.

Crowley’s status as the first LGBTQ fire chief appears at the top of her bio on the LAFD site. It’s what got her on the Kelly Clarkson show under the headline, “Meet LAFD’s First Female & LGBTQ+ Fire Chief” and made her one of the marshals of the Los Angeles Pride Parade (some of whose attendees no longer have homes after the wave of fires.)

But DEI wasn’t done with the LAFD just yet. Not until two other lesbian ‘Kirstens’ were also running the LAFD.

Kristina Kepner, the first lesbian Assistant Chief and a graduate of the Harvard Kennedy School for Managing Diverse Organizations, was accused of a domestic violence incident involving her girlfriend. Kristine Larson, who has a degree in Sociology, headed ‘Equity on Fire’, an organization complaining that the LAFD was sexist and racist, was then rewarded with the title of the LAFD’s first lesbian Equity Bureau Chief with a $399,000 salary.

Diversity mandates had led to three lesbians named some version of ‘Kirsten’ running the LAFD.

Meanwhile, Jamie Brown became the LAFD’s first lesbian Training Commander. Her accomplishment was being the only one of the four lesbians running the LAFD who wasn’t named ‘Kirsten’.

Many glass ceilings were being broken, but there was no one who actually knew how to fight fires. Unless it was by asking the fire about its preferred pronouns.

Crowley, Kepner, and Brown were all paramedics, not firefighters. Diversity mandates led to paramedics being referred to as ‘firefighters’ and being promoted to fire captains and battalion chiefs and then to the top echelons of the LAFD.

400K a year for that bullshit, what a mess they've created.

 

[Harry Dresden]

or the person trapped in the fire really gives a shit what the person looks like thats pulling them out of the fire....

 

[LordBrownTrout]

As long as the trannies, queers, gays, bis are all happy..................let that city burn. Remember folks, dei is number 1.

I don't use the dumb "apps" and their idiosyncratic behavior is one of the main reasons for that.

1. You Leftists lost the presidential election and congress seats due to your hatefulness, lies and intolerance which are on full display in your post.
2. You aren't a phony Christian. You're a godless Leftist who delights in murdering innocent, unborn babies, inviting in millions of uneducated, poor foreigners, including gang bangers, terrorists, and Chinese nationals who are intent on destruction of America and liberty. You Leftists think boys should be able to cut off their genitals when they are very young, to become girls, and vice versa. Men weak in sports pretend to be women and you Leftists pass laws to approve the insanity.
3. It isn't joy when we say "I told you so." We get in your face after the fact because of your extremely bad decisions and leaders you elect. But you always double down, never learning.


I live in southern California and have never heard of your "mandatory brush clearance" claim. Why would homes and businesses on Sunset Strip and Pacific Palisades have brush? They have manicured landscaping.

Arizona stopped its brush clearing at the demand of wacko environmentalists eager to "save the earth" and little critters. The result was devastating wildfires a few years ago. California did not learn from that tragedy and simply repeated it, as Democrats always do. Double down. Never admit you were wrong.


You overlook FEMA passing by homes with Trump signs on them. Democrat "compassion" from the highest offices in America.
The same offices that will award George Communist Soros the Presidential Medal of Freedom alongside Hillary Clinton who took millions of dollars from Russia and then signed of on selling them our uranium.

Mores rantings of the brainwashed...all your accusations are false.
I live in southern Calif. right on the LA/Ventura county line. If you have brush including overgrown lawn it must be cut down within 100' of any structure and must be done before June 1st. Most of the homes lost did have manicured properties. Pushed by 60-80 mph winds, the fire spread from house to house in an uncontrollable "fire hurricane".
There are no tools for fighting fire hurricanes.

keeping the roofs wet require water in the hydrants.

Fact check: What really happened with the Pacific Palisades hydrants?

Why did hydrants run dry in the midst of a conflagration? City officials stressed that the shortage was due to low water pressure, not a complete lack of water. But what caused it, and can it be prevented?

Suggested solution: Homes with pools get a tax break if they approve using pool water for fire fighting.
BUT now....adding a pool to your property in California can lead to an increase in your property taxes. This increase is primarily due to the fact that a pool, especially an in-ground one, can raise the overall value of your property.

For example, let's say you're a firefighter responding to a house on fire that is 60 feet long, 30 feet wide, and one story high. You would multiply 60 and 30 for a total of 1,800 square feet.
Then, you'd divide 1,800 by three to determine that 600 gallons of water will be needed to fight that fire.

The average swimming pool takes 18,000-20,000 gallons of water

http://www.texasthestateofwater.org/screening/pdf_docs/texas_water_facts/facts3.pdf

So why aren't these homes in the wildfire tendencies use their pool water?
For firefighters, pools have become an essential resource in neighborhoods where hydrants are failing. Some crews have used portable pumps to extract water directly from pools, a technique that has allowed them to continue their work even as municipal water systems falter.

Look at the bright side, Ram! The idiot progs of California just turned half of the bluest city in the country, one of the FEW things they had left not to lose, far more RED.

Once they get sorted out of this mess, about 100,000 people there at least will be reevaluating their loyalty to the Dim Party.

DEI has degraded the military, firemen, and police.
So that now skin color and gender are far more important than physically being able to do the job.

DEI is the new leftist "qualification and job skill."
