Neil Desai places a water pump into a swimming pool on Friday, Jan. 10, as he prepares to wet down his home during the Palisades Fire in the Los Angeles community of Pacific Palisades. The 60-year-old was able to defend his home with a system of water sprinklers and a hydrogel retardant mixture given to him by a friend, which he mixed in a backyard hot tub.

This is what has been talked about as part of fire hardening properties in the WUI, and you see a few similar stories with most notable fires like this. Along with keeping a defensible perimeter, fireproof/resistant roofing and fencing, appropriate fire resistant venting in homes (traditional vents have a tendency to pull embers into a home's attic, setting them ablaze from the inside), etc. In the long run, it is cheaper to take these preemptive measures than to rebuild what is lost. Changing traditional thought, though, has been slow. There could be tax rebate incentives for fire hardening measures, neighborhoods could collectively spend money to fire harden themselves.

Build-Insure-Rebuild isn't going to cut it, as we are seeing.

Dems like blaming Trump for everything and still continue to use fear tactics with Trump to deflect.

As fires wreak havoc in California, Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., claimed in a post on X the catastrophe is "what a climate emergency looks like." In another tweet, he took aim at President-elect Trump, asserting the incoming president has been bought off by the oil industry.

"Trump has been bought for $1 billion by Big Oil. Just a payoff to kill the IRA and the Green New Deal. We know what will happen. More fires, more climate disasters, more death. The LA fires are preview of coming atrocities," Markey declared in a post on X.

Newsom deflecting as well by blaming local officials and invoking Trump

quote:

---

Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., appeared to deflect when he was confronted about Los Angeles residents being angry over his wildfire response, saying local leaders and people on his own team weren’t giving him a clear picture of the devastation.

…"So, I’m the governor of California and wanna know the answer. I’ve got that question, I can’t tell you, by how many people, ‘What happened?’ – on my own team, ‘What happened?’… I’ll be candid with you, I wasn’t getting straight answers," Newsom told co-host Jon Favreau, referencing his conversations with local leaders.

… Newsom added that he has been giving these leaders "a little bit of grace," as he understands they’re "assessing" the "emergency environment."

…During the podcast interview, Newsom again slammed Trump for the claims, stating the president is spreading misinformation. 

"It’s words. It’s a salad. It’s the form and substance of fog. It’s made up. It’s delusional and it’s a consistent mantra from Trump going back years and years and years, and it’s reinforced over and over and over within the right wing."

The governor added that Trump has managed to bring this alleged affinity for misinformation "into this crisis in a profoundly demeaning and damaging way."

Trump transition team spokesperson Steven Cheung replied to Newsom's accusation, telling Fox News Digital, "Instead of appearing on liberal podcasts, maybe Newscum [sic] should be doing his f---ing job and actually help people who continue to suffer under his terrible leadership."
