Daily Ops Briefing 01-23-2025.pdf
Palisades Fire - 23,440 acres burnt - 70% contained now - 5,330 homes
destroyed - 1,242 other blds destroyed - 11 dead
Eaton Fire - 14,021 acres burnt - 95% contained - 6,119 homes
destroyed - 3,290 other blds destroyed - 17 dead
==================
not sure why the Eaton Fire losses were so high - maybe no one had
done any fire hardening - 3 FDs have primary responsibility in the
area - Pasadena + Los Angeles County FD + ? Sierra Madre ? FD
note - would be very interesting to see how many firemen live in the
fire areas - and what sort of involvement they have in their
neighborhood fire services - my guess is that none of the off duty
firefighters ever participate in any emergency activities - except if
a neighbor yells at them - or there is a total FD recall of all staff
- and even that would be problematic since maybe 50% of the firemen
who live in Pasadena might work for LA City FD or LA County FD and
therefore have no direct connection to Pasadena FD - this is a
nationwide problem - would be nice if every off duty firefighter was
an honorary member of their hometown FD - obviously whats happening
now is sub optimum totally dude
