To everyone in a dither of the news story about the LAFD giving old equipment to Ukraine, please understand that this was from March 17th, 2022, which is almost 34 months ago.

Please also keep in mind that big X account owners troll through peoples' accounts looking for ways to make them look bad as someone did in the case and blew a donation of old, outdated gear and equipment that wasn't considered safe any longer into some sort of treason on the part of LAFD.  Lots of American fire departments send their outdated gear to third world countries as they aren't subject to the NFPA standards that American fire departments are.  Portions of the NFPA standards are law in some states.

Below are some screenshots from my CoPilot AI about NFPA standards and when that videoabout giving the old gear to Ukraine was made.
