what has been learned from the L/A/ fires of Jan 2025?

absolutely nothing?

nothing has changed afaik

except there are 2 areas that dont need to be defended right now - but
that only frees up approx 5 fire companies - less than that even -
there are still many structures in the burnt neighborhoods that need
protection

has the number of fire helicopters been doubled? no

has the number of fire planes been doubled? no

are their radios faster now? no

is their water wetter now? no

do they have 200% more dispatchers onduty now? no

do all the pumpers have gel and phoschek now? no

do all the traffic lights have opticom now? no

will they lockdown the city when the el diablo winds start again? no? why not?

it might be a good idea to keep the 20yo males out of the brush area this time

- the only areas with some republicans seems to be orange county

newsom needs to move 400 calfire and oes fire trucks from northern
california to southern california for the winter - and 20 helos - and
20 airtankers - and he needs to ask the feds to double their fire
forces in southern california for the winter

or newsom can do nothing - and when 10,000 more homes burn - someone
political career will be toast
