As I heard someone... maybe Dr. Drew?... say... these fires alone have undone every single "gain" they had made in the entire United States from ALL of their climate nonsense. Every gain from moving on from coal... every gain from reduced car emissions... every gain. But hey... maybe they can make up that "lost ground" by checking a few fire trucks.

How much admissions are being generated by the fires compared to a truck……

Can I call ?? shite without much backlash? Some random guy without pics or anything.

This was discussed yesterday and the libs here were denying it was true because a source they deemed reputable enough hadn't yet reported it.

So they weren't held up for "emissions testing" they were held up for "inspections". Thanks for the clarification.

No emissions testing was performed. All repairs were completed the same day with the exception of a couple because of parts but turn around was early next day," CAL Fire Spokesperson via email.
“These inspections ensure all engines on an emergency scene are equipped, mechanically sound, and able to respond. This ensures our number one priority of a safe deployment for our firefighters,” the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Office said.
CAL Fire tells KATU News the safety checks are related to mechanical operations such as brakes.
After passing the inspections, the teams arrived in Los Angeles and are on the fire lines now.

You idiots believe any random a-hole on X...while simultaneously looking down your nose at the left for doing the same kind of thing.

The type of inspection seems to be an important distinction though which makes the OP a lie

"After passing the inspections, the teams arrived in Los Angeles and are on the fire lines now."
your compassion for the people of California is noted.

It is still a symptom of the problem CA has that caused the fires to be so destructive.

Because the trucks were fine in Oregon. Then held up for a day because some a-hole wants to measure the break pad thickness and check tire pressure.

It’s too bad they didn’t have that same energy about inspecting their fire hydrants and reservoirs. Having them equipped, mechanically sound and able to respond might have been helpful.

That's why the "We are the news" posts on here are always hilarious. There's zero accountability. A Poliboarder or Twitter goober can post fake news every day of their life without being fired or blacklisted. If a real journalist gets duped by a source or posts a story that ends up being false one too many times, they are fired and blacklisted from the industry.

I expected a link to the BB then I remembered this was California we are talking about.

This seems to be quite true. Op... flat out lied. Yes, I bought his post at face value... thinking "Well, who would lie about this. It sounds exactly like something Cali would do." Sorry about that.
Pretty good idea to give the trucks a once-over to make sure they are mechanically sound, because having one break down could cause more problems for the firefighters than not having it at all.

3. The water situation is unfortunate. Hindsight is 20/20, but in
the Palisades, which has been developed for many decades, there has
never been a fire of this magnitude. Could a water system have been
developed to try to mitigate a fire like this? Possibly, but it would
be like planning for a 1000 year storm. And even if they did have
100million gallons to fight the fires, logistically you can only
deploy so many people, units, and water at a time. Plus, the winds
prevented an human from effectively doing much on Tuesday night/Wed
morning. Even if resources were able to be deployed and water was available, the winds would have just blown the water away, whether from air drops or fire hoses.
Fewer water issues in Eaton, but they still had some. The fire
destroyed infrastructure required to get/pump water uphill to the
affected homes. Again, hindsight is 20/20, but it would have been
really difficult to envision and plan for this type of event.
There were water issues, but it's not clear the extent. I have read that the water supply tanks in the Palisades were tapped out. It's a HUGE amount of water, they were not getting chintzy with water with the people out there (read: rich, loud, and willing to pay).
In Altadena, my buddy went up to his house yesterday and confirmed the water was not on.

Why the hell don't they have 100 super scoopers dumping sea water right now on the hills?
