Yet, I get downvoted to shite for saying it. The Fed, State, local, and native entities burned more than a million acres in 2024. That total doesn't include most of the private land that was burned. The Feds burned more last year than they had in any year they have records for. They've also had a bunch of pile burns that don't show up in the acreage totals.
But we got ole Hofag over here telling us we are reading the Watch Duty map wrong

Sitting here listening to this press conference I had to chuckle a bit. This lady is threatening to release the full force of the law against looters who are stealing from private citizens. Where was that energy when they were stealing from Walmart and Target? All I heard was "They have insurance"

Because there's zero politics at play here.
90mph winds and zero rain in almost a year has nothing to do with politics. These fires would rage even under the most conservative municipal and state government.
Texas, Florida and other gulf states have had their fair share of natural disasters. Minnesota is as left wing as they come and seems immune. It's not a political thing.

frick off with this defense. She’s worse than Garcetti. She should not be given the benefit of the doubt and resign in disgrace. I hope one of the citizens throws a Molotov cocktail into her empty car (ie no fatalities) and the jury lets that person off since she did this to thousands of them.
Cant disagree.

Interesting. Let's contain opinions we disagree with.

Pay some homeless person $100 and get them to start fires.

the real fire season for California doesn't begin until June so this one is kind of an outlier which is really scary

You're on drugs if you think Texas/Florida would not have a significantly better response to a crisis like this. And we don't even have big wildfires.

90 mph winds would make this incredibly hard to fight anywhere.
Where the issue arises is that all things that COULD HAVE helped were neglected, apparently.
Letting rainwater runoff into the ocean for the sake of a fish species
Focusing on DEI measures rather than a streamlined fire department
Maintaining an adequate water delivery system
Appropriately clearing underbrush
These are all fair game to criticize, and should be criticized heavily.
I agree that this could not have been prevented, but the available response and containment sure as hell could have been significantly better.

Nah, bruh. Bringing up common sense is political. We can't have that in this thread.

I promise you Florida would have easily had a better response.

Please elaborate. CA firefighters work like a well oiled machine from my experience. Outside of the clusterfrick that is this Palisades fire, watching their response is pretty incredible.

Doesn’t matter. No water system is designed to fight this many fires at once.

Can't have a fire season later if everything is burned now

it is not that the political side doesn't need to be discussed, it is that it is a very slipper slope - it always devolves into Poli board bullshite.
it is not that some of us don't want the discussion - we just don't want it taking over the entire thread - which history has proven will happen.

I believe that was me in another thread. I was referencing something I read years ago, but there are similar points in this article
