Someone’s gun storage melted. Liberty Safe perhaps? Tons of gun owners in Los Angeles. Many dangerous areas and prowlers.
.... Hypothetically if an someone tried to use an energy weapon/laser or some long range artificial means of setting stuff on fire, how could we detect it?
Between Lahaina, East Palestine, and the Appalachians I'm beginning to suspect these people may not be politically impartial.
I dunno, I think a giant magnifying glass would be pretty easy to see...
I know someone that lost all their guns in Pacific northwest fires. No 'fireproof' safe at any cost will stop a few hour hot burn. They're for normal house fires. He had tons of ARs and they were all pools of aluminum after even with decent fire resistant safes.
The driver/pump operator doesn't leave the truck, their job at a fire call is specifically to provide water to the crew, basically press a few buttons and pull a few levers.
America should make this, blow up China/Russia/etc with it but just paint the Indian flag on the side and fill the space weapon full of garbage and diarrhea to avoid blame.
The scam they've caught a few doing is they are going door to door, dressed as some sort of Official First responder and telling people they gotta evacuate right now. As soon as the homeowners leave, they loot the house.
I recall some YouTuber getting one of those laser de-rusting machines, taking the "nozzle" off, and (after defeating the interlocks) using it to burn off a tree branch in his back yard.
There was this religious library in the area that got burnt to a crisp. Someone said so on Threads, and mentioned that the place contained 40,000 manuscripts, but last I checked there were 0 major news sources covering it. Can't even remember the name of the library, or even any of the specific losses. But they say it must've been pretty serious or culturally significant, I guess?
It’s probably just way more easy for a China man to light up some twigs with a zippo near an accelerant then build a huge ass magnifying glass in space.
I imagine thermal imaging from a high vantage point would be a good bet. I would guess these things might use invisible light waves if they are used for this, but thermal imagine you would suddenly see SOMETHING go insane white hot, with nothing near it.
This is optimistic as fuck. And in crisis (LIKE THIS) you don't want a dozen people who can ONLY sit in a fucking truck and stare at buttons when the process is half automated anyway. You want MANPOWER. Basically in these situations, anyone who cant carry out a full sized man is a detriment to the team.
Wait, I know impersonating an LEO (law enforcement officer) is illegal, but is it illegal to impersonate a fire officer????
