boston fd has historically done 'fire watch' - after a big fire they
rotate in 2 crews to watch the bld for a while looking for rekindles -
that procedure probably goes back 100 years

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

changes were made recently it seems

Villanueva and Mayor Karen Bass on Wednesday announced changes to
deployment protocols on extreme weather days, including ordering
firefighters to remain on duty for an additional shift during red flag
weather warnings. They also said they have implemented leadership
changes and a stronger pre-deployment model.

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

if they have 7 days notice of a red flag - they could every fire truck
from the midwest and NW to LA before any fire starts

LA could also buy 100 new pumpers - nothing stopping them - park them
at the Coliseum or Van Nuys Airport or Dodger Stadium or some closed
