I know there is Climate change ,China and India biggest culprits , But in an area prone to
wild fires, drought, man made fires, (accidental and arson etc) why wouldn't you be prepared? Especially when you are the richest state in the union and Have the funds to do it..
The Powers that Be failed. Period.
Theres Video of at least 2 people starting fires, could they have started their fires after the others started? maybe but why? Insanity?
Theres Video of power wires arching in back yards and a guy on the phone calling 911
Multiple times and nobody came.
I am a Union Electrician, Local 98 Philadelphia.
Some of LA's power grid is over 100 yrs old.
some of it would not be up to code for PA since the 60s
maybe CA has different laws.?(you would think more stringent )?
So we blame the electric company? Fine but who controls the Laws they have to follow?
where are city inspectors? How did they let this slide?
I saw an interview with fitness guru Jilian Michaels who also lost her home.
She said that in an 2018 fire, her Pool got filled with runoff water from fire fighters
putting out fires on the hills behind her house.
She had to apply for a permit just to drain it and it took the Bureaucrats of LA
1 yr just to give her the permit. wtf..
How can they be so strict in some areas and absolutely lax elsewhere?
I asked my dad, (also electrician born pre ww2) to look at the video of
some of Cali's transformers and insulators and he said "thats before my time"
