My thoughts so far on the incompetence of leadership of those who have some authority over fire prep or firefighting in CA and LA. 

Unacceptable that power lines are not underground.
Unacceptable that the reservoir was empty
Unacceptable that the city did not do an adequate job of policing the brush.
Unacceptable that the police chief says she has 100 pieces of apparatus including trucks that are not currently functioning, but we have money to spend on stopping Trump from sending illegals home. We have plenty of money to build apartment buildings for the homeless. We have money for DEI departments. It is a total joke. We can hope, but I have my doubts, that Californians will say this is the final straw.
