re: Meet The Palisades Resident Who Ignored The Evacuation Decree And Saved His Home….

Glad it worked for him....

Now if he died, i suspect some of the folks cheering him now would have then called him a "dumba$$" for staying...

He said in the interview that he couldn't have afforded to rebuild. He probably felt like if his home that he lived in his whole life burned down then he wouldn't have much left to live for at his age. It was obviously worth the risk to him.

He said anytime he spotted an ember or a small fire he put it out which stopped a bigger, destructive fire.

I'm making a guess. But it would make sense to me that the public water supply is connected to the water purification systems, where the hydrants most likely aren't.

It’s why we are hated. Too much individualism and competence means we can’t be controlled by authoritarians and constantly make government look bad

He tells you how.

You squirt out a few embers over here and a few embers over there and never let it get big.

Not a fire truck in sight he said.

He will have to be punished for making big daddy government look incompetent.

My question was partially rhetorical. But even so, you have to realize he had said his parents built this house, and he’s lived there all his life. I was half expecting, maybe, he had set up some ingenious irrigation system. But nope, just an old man with a garden hose.

Had a pretty solid nozzle on it too. And I’m not saying he didn’t get lucky, clearly not all homes could’ve been saved with this type of bravery. But just imagine, like he said, just a bit of prevention & effort, here and there, could’ve saved entire sections of the city.

But fat lesbians feeling accepted & good about themselves …just more important.

Yes. But too bad that green garden hose with a leaky nozzle wasn’t inspected to make sure it passed the stringent hose protocols of the California Fire Marshal!
