how the palisade fire rekindled

this starts out with some info about the very beginning of the fire
and the topography and vegetation

he says that the progression was delineated in a different video but
not sure what video that is

he says that the fire swooped down on the homes as a 1/2 mile wide
front all at once - and that seems to make sense based on the
topography

however - he makes no mention of where the initial water drops
happened - nor where the initial ladder pipes were set up - if they
set any up - or where the initial deck guns were set up - if any were
set up

we dont remember hearing any initial orders via radio in that vein -
it seems that all the fire apparatus went into the neighborhood and
ran 1 attack line each - and that was it - no one told them which
roads to use - iirc the first engine did not arrive for 7 minutes -
they had to go 3 miles and drive up 1000 feet in elevation - and there
was only 1 road in - and maybe half of the first alarm units staged 1
mile away at fire station 23 - and la county was not notified for 10
minutes

bottom line - the first 5 minutes of the fire basically guaranteed
that 5,000 homes would burn

what did the ladder trucks do at the fire? they dont have hose nor
water tanks nor pumps - hopefully they run extra hoselines off the
engines

the aerial attack plan should have been pretty obvious - there was a
huge flame front driven by heavy winds at the homes - obviously they
needed to do water drops on the flame front or on the vegetation
between the homes and the flame front - something tells me that all of
the water that they dropped turned to mist or steam

all in all - the fact they didnt have 10 engines up in that
neighborhood before the fire started - wetting down evwrything -
sealed their fate

in fact - if they had wet down everything before the winds arrived -
maybe the fire would have never rekindled
