      Lmao so much nonsense over $17 mil. Isn’t the LAFDs budget close to $1,000,000,000? California alone has more invested in forest fire firefighting than most countries. Here is some numbers provided by the state, https://www.gov.ca.gov/2025/01/08/california-forest-management-hotter-drier-climate/

      Based on what I’m reading another $1.5 billion has been added to the firefighting budget.

      A mayors office is not suited to perform firefighting. They play a very small role. Nonsense.

      So exactly what you’re saying then. There’s a specific number of firefighters if employed this fire would not have happened. What’s that number? How would they have specifically stop this fire? The current firefighters failed because there wasn’t enough of them? Right? That’s what you’re getting it.

        Good god, this is the most blatant sea-lioning I’ve seen in ages!
