HOW WRONG WAS TRUMPLER - LET ME COUNT THE WAYS
what trump said
just remove all the vegetation - causes mudslides
turn on the water - the water was already turned on
rake the forests - well maybe he was partially right here - maybe some
vegetation management would helped slow down the fires - but once the
palm trees got blazing in the housing neighborhoods - its all over
==========
what trump should have said
next time we will upstaff the FD totally - I will pay for it out of my
own pocket
next time we will put fire trucks on patrol instead of hanging around
at the fire stations
next time we will put a cop next to every shrub to prevent anyone from
lighting them on fire
next time the electric company will kill their high tension lines or
clean out the vegetation
next time we will hire firefighters who live in the neighborhoods
next time we will get helicopter pilots who can drop water in the
right place - (assuming that lafd dropped all of their water in the
wrong places - or whatever they did with the first loads)
next time we will activate all 8 MAFFS 2 days before the fires instead
of 2 days after the fires - and this goes for most of the state and
federal; air assets - they were maybe very late to the show
next time the dispatchers wont take 15 minutes to come up with a comm plan
next time the alert system will work
next time there will be traffic cops to direct evacuees
