Live updates: Brush fire burns in Pacific Palisades as Santa Ana winds blast Southern California - Live video at link

You guys are blaming all the wrong people. Sure the government there are either criminally stupid or straight up criminal embezzlers. Sure environmentalists have lobbied for ideas soo stupid it borders on evil. Sure you have millions of homeless and illegals starting uncontained fires on a whim. Sure the retarded elite decided to plant enough brush next to their matchbox mcmansions that the fire travels at the speed of sound while using up every drop of water not dumped directly into the ocean. But you know whose fault this really is? Australia. They didn't tell us the trees they shipped over were also self replicating firebombs. They can pay for the rebuild!
Too bad wise use of fire resistant landscape design in fire danger areas is considered wacko environmental hippy BS. Wildfire-defensible-buffer-zones.webp
 
Speaking of the homeless, I think LA is overlooking a valuable resource that could be tapping to fight the fire.
In Canada, back in the 1970s and probably earlier, the RCMP and the Forest service would cruise bars looking for able-bodied men to press-gang into fighting forest fires.
 
I just got back from hunting for N95 masks (which we were able to get) with Mama Archeops, the smoke’s real bad and you can see ash raining down.
I know a pepper dude in OC that has P100 respirators if you need them.

Sadly nobody does this because all the builds are mcmansions stacked on top of each other like sardines.
Its the mentality of "Its not going to happen here to me". Well quess what, it is now. From the contractor to the buyer, 99% of people ignores wildfire until its too late. The 1% (including me) get to stand back and say "Fuckin' told you so".
 
Did we catch this? One of the Firefighting planes hit a civilian drone while making its drop.
The anchor saying flying drones is "wildly unnecessary" over b-roll from their helicopter of other helicopters doing drops and a dozer trying it's best to build line is not doing good things for my blood pressure.

Whoever was flying the drone is an asshole, but the irony is so thick you could cut it with a chainsaw.
