This is the problem with guys like him, they think they can bullshit the fire into not burning. 2 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74974-the-la-fire-department%E2%80%99s-first-female-lgbtq-chief-created-a-dei-bureau/page/2/#findComment-566106 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Cummings Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 They took this reservoir out of service just a short time ago because it had a tear in it's cover., knowing that it was right before fire season. That's like ripping the engine out of your snow plow truck late in November because it's burning a little bit of oil Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74974-the-la-fire-department%E2%80%99s-first-female-lgbtq-chief-created-a-dei-bureau/page/2/#findComment-566111 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Cummings Posted Monday at 05:37 AM Author Share Posted Monday at 05:37 AM Seems LA has a lot of DEI mechanics too. Have you ever visited a municipal garage? Or bought used equipment at a state or municipal auction? Real mechanics at those places are few and far between. I have known a few good ones, but not many.

Joey Mack Posted Monday at 11:14 AM Share Posted Monday at 11:14 AM JC.that was an interesting news report. It was good to see a story that is likely to be true. I get frustrated when I think Im reading a true story, only to find out, its fake.. I dont even want to post on here anymore, because i dont want to spread lies.. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74974-the-la-fire-department%E2%80%99s-first-female-lgbtq-chief-created-a-dei-bureau/page/2/#findComment-566281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Geoff Weeks Posted Monday at 12:43 PM Popular Post Share Posted Monday at 12:43 PM Peak fire season used to be 8 months of the year, from about may to late sept or oct. If you have to repair a res, when would you do it? in summer? no, you do it in the statistical low point, unfortunately fire season is now 12 months of the year out there. You don't want to do it in late "winter" when the snow melt is starting, that's when you want it completed to start re-filling! Late Dec-early Jan is the time to do it. It just happens this time it was an unlucky time. Anytime you close it and there is a fire, people are going to yammer about incompetent leadership, just as they will if it is not maintained. You can't have it both ways. They had 70 MPH winds, try firefighting in half that (35 mph) and see how well you do! expecting buried waterlines and hydrants to be able to maintain full pressure when being drawn on all across the system (because of wide spread fire) is not reasonable, but boy it makes a nifty sound bite to say "dry hydrants" to the masses and getting them yammering. No muni water system can supply enough to quell a large scale fire like that. Then add in "lost" structures that will all be "leaking" (gushing) from their water hook ups. Folks, this is a national and natural disaster, lets come together and at least feel for the people if you can't or will not help. Fighting an urban wildfire is a whole different ball game than a rural one where you can set fire breaks and keep it contained (or at least try to) and not lose 1000's of structures and lives. The Fire in Lahina Hi (sp?) was bad also for the same reasons High wind and urban area. The terrain around LA makes it easy for fires to accelerate and hard to fight. Lahina was at least mostly flat. questioning how and why they started is fair game, but as of yet there is little to no time to spend on getting that info, 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74974-the-la-fire-department%E2%80%99s-first-female-lgbtq-chief-created-a-dei-bureau/page/2/#findComment-566283 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted Monday at 03:42 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:42 PM I saw that story as well.. Its sickening.

tjc transport Posted Monday at 05:27 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:27 PM ny niece and her husband were allowed to return home last night. they were evacuated thursday morning when the fire got within 1/2 mile, it was about 1/4 mile away when they escaped. went to see friends in frisco. they have minor smoke damage in the house. and no power. she said they have water, but very little pressure.. across the street is nothing but ashes and burned out car carcasses as far as she can see. she did say that at least the homeless camps are all gone. for now.. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..
