3. Operational and Leadership Challenges

Communication Breakdowns: Crews faced unreliable cellular
connectivity, "excessive radio traffic," and confusion over which
radio channels to use, hampering coordination between different
agencies.
Command Experience: An after-action report noted that several
high-ranking commanders lacked basic wildland firefighting knowledge
and "fundamental knowledge of suppression techniques" required for
incidents of such complexity.
Gridlock and Evacuations: Critical escape routes in the Palisades were
gridlocked 40 minutes before official evacuation orders were issued,
with abandoned cars further blocking first responders.
