Considering people who hate you and who actively engage in behavior that reduces your quality of life your fellow Americans is a mental illness.

Not all californians are the kind of people you guys think we are.

But the hatred is well deserved. A huge swathe of our population are narcissistic asshats. Maybe not everyone deserves the bad shit happening right now, but California as a whole is reaping the consequences of its own stupidity. I feel like I've just been repeating myself at this point lol.

Air quality is going to shit where I'm at and the wind is blowing hard. Im not even close to LA, but man I'm actually a little worried rn. (:_(

If you don't already have plans, I'd be making them now.

This morning Humboldt Bay Fire was requested to assist with an available engine to respond to the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles County. Our Type 3 Engine as well as an Engine from Fortuna Fire are leaving Humboldt County to meet with a group of three Sonoma County fire engines in Petaluma. From there all five engines and a strike team leader will be driving through the night to LA.
Once at the Palisades Fire, our crew and the rest of the strike team will likely go directly to work. Humboldt Bay Fire is happy to provide apparatus and personnel to any agency in need, and we know that would be reciprocated. Working under unified command, all crews will be hard at work to prevent any further devastation to the Los Angeles County affected area. HBF hopes all personnel involved remain safe and return home.

I can't explain how incredibly stupid and dire this situation must be for them to request 1 piddly fire engine from a rural community over 600 miles away.

That or he is simply a chosen instrument. Is he lucky or does Heaven itself make the way straight before him? That is what is interesting about him. What's even more interesting is nobody will agree until he is dead and buried.

Considering death missed him by a inch, my bet is on god.

I feel bad for all the families hit and all those in fear, I pray God helps them and gives to the resolve to withstand.

This will destroy CA though the state is already losing so many companies but now just infrastructure collapses that it is beyond repair now. If normal people cannot function in the state then its over and they had 2/3 years to learn to fucking cut back and destroy overgrowth because it will ignite and spread but no. This is happened dozens of times and these faggots scream about global warming, its not you retards its poor forestry management and not clearing areas. The sick fucks in government knew about funding issues and pulled support and for that they deserve any justice that comes for them.

In my travels I have met many nice Californians, so I don't like to tar and feather I just hope everyone affected gets justice.

The phtography is stunning though ngl.

Straight out of any rural FD playbook, pools, ponds, boat ramps. Anything you can pump out of.

The very act should speak to how desperate the LAFD is to contain the flames. Maybe it's an emergency measure but this is a massive city where one would think they have capable enough infrastructure to fight back the fire.

"Mostly". A lot of my customers live in the Eaton Canyon area. The further out you go, the cheaper the property...The palisades fire is a rich area.

But the idea this doesnt affect average people, lol. The mcdonalds workers, the elderly at the retirement home, the local ice cream shop...the church. Its 600k to 2m houses out there. Its coffee shops, cancer support centers, libraries, flower shops and the townsfolk. The area is one of the only remaining areas in the city that looks like the idyllic California suburb that could be Anywhere America. Thats my issue there. These are single family home suburbs burning. The american dream is on fire there, which is fitting.

HEY
In this thread, we APPRECIATE out local fire department that has the situation 0% under control! Don't be rude!

True, I came off a little hot with my tone.

I appreciate that LA continues to be filled and run by a bunch of vapid theater kids that should have been shoved into more lockers, and diversity hires grifting the tax base.

It makes me appreciate that I don't live there, and that my fire department is led by someone who looks like they can flip a Mack truck.

Wait, the dumbass actually said "at URL"?

Do they even have internet in this situation? Not that "URL" would help them to start with...

I lost Internet that whole day because of the winds, as did the supermarket I was at that day. Which was a secondary concern when intermittent blackouts kept happening.
