interesting discussion - all of Los Angeles would have burnt if there was no FD

not that anyone on that subreddit has a clue

===========================

if you find Piedra Morada Drive on the map - at the south end of the
street - that was the initial reported location -

- if the FD did not respond to the fire - maybe the fire would have
traveled due south and blown out to the ocean with no bld losses
-especially if the fire travelled along Palisades Drive

downtown would not have burnt - dont think that embers would ever set
a highrise on fire in a major way

if the FD did not order everyone to leave - all the citizens would
fight the ember fires with garden hoses and tea kettles - maybe they
would have killed all of the spot fires

=================================

note -seems that no one at reddit fd has brought up initial response
times or initial FD actions - oh my
