Here is the four point plan for getting this crisis under control:

1. Waive all the "safety and smog inspections" for out-of-State firefighters and apparatus coming in from out of State.  The fact that OR help coming in had to go to Sacremento first is outrageous.  Hope that this has already been resolved.   All requested outside help should be able to go directly to the line.

2.  Immediately request all water bombers across North America come to LA.  Despite the warnings, there were only 2 CL-415 (Super Scoopers) in the area and one was damaged by a drone.   It is not fire season in the majority  of North America,  there should be much more that only 1 (2) available to LA during this time of year.   Get all that you can, especially given the weather forecast for the coming week.

3.  Go down to the Port of Los Angeles, get the Fire Boats.   I get it that using salt water is second best to fresh water.  But the Water Department failed to keep water in the hydrants.  The Fire Boats have huge pumping capacity.   Park them just off the shore and pump water to the fire crews in-land.

4. There are numerous reports of arson from citizens.  There are reports of looting.  People are on edge.   Call up a massive law enforcement presence, with the appropriate orders.  Put the citizens at ease that they are being protected.
