We have a conducive climate for human and animal habitation

We have Excellent soil for agricultural cultivation, and land construction

And we have an enviable reservoir of natural resources, including crude oil.

Yet, we keep calling on God to help us, even when we know that God has given us everything we need

May God not add natural disasters to the human disaster we have become to ourselves

Amen / Aamin

Are there no more handbags and women panties left in America to put out this fires? đŸ€Ł

30 Trillion GDP this, World power that.

But do you have water in your fire trucks??

Can you fight goat herders & cave dwellers without the military and financial backing of 30 rich NATO members?

Can you even manufacture fighter jets and weapons alone without the assistance of other powerful countries??

The US is nothing without allies. The allies are allies for one reason alone... DOLLARS!

Take that away and there would be no one backing the naked emperor.

My brother, you are damn right!
Pull down America's pant, you will see Pampers.
America is only hiding under the trousers of NATO to hide what it is ashamed to show the world.

They are not. US prefers to sponsor wars elsewhere rather than solving domestic issues wild fire is every year disaster research and proper emergency response should have been prepared but no. It is war and weapons every time.
this is natural disaster if such happens in Nigeria... I believe in 3 days the whole Nigeria will be gone.

Their problem is their houses, it's not helping matters. All their houses are built with woods, a natural fuel for fire.

Yes because of the weather. Here in the UK inside of the houses must be protected with wood to stop vapour. Even if they use blocks or bricks its for external.. Inside must be covered with wood if not cold go kill u inside

Tell me a fire that will start on it own without human negligence? This is human disaster not natural one, if it earthquake or thunder strike that degenerate into this it would have been call natural .. the fire start small from somewhere

Its a natural disaster. Its their weather. As the environment dries out extremely fire erupt from Nigeria where... Use google. That's why they call it wirld fire

The weather issues is part of the problem,but what I don't understand that I am still raking my head over, what's the use of fire sprinkler in the house, fire hydrant and even living close to water ..if fire could still consume the home .. Anyway it is the City of Angels but I guess they should allow the good Angels breathe

Lot’s of things contributed to it:

-most of the residential properties don’t usually have sprinkler systems. They rely so much on their fire service men. More so, it is expensive to take out consequential loss insurance of damage caused by sprinkler systems, when a house owner has already taking a fire insurance policy which is super expensive on it’s own.

That’s why they need public sprinklers systems.

- it took them nearly a day before they could realize they needed to shut down cooking gas supplies to those areas.
So as the fire was burning, all exposed gas lines in those properties were aiding the fire

- the weather was extremely dry.

-their fire hydrant’s pressure went flaccid and the pressure wasn’t much. They said they suspected sabotage, here.

-the speed of the wind was at around 60 to 80 miles per hour which was way faster than what fire fighters could cover, so the fire kept spreading and expanding quickly.

- most of their elite gated communities were difficult to access and this worsened the situation.

- lots of wall sidings of those properties were engineered materials and are highly combustible because they were made from by-products of crude oil.

- the topography of those areas too are bad which makes firefighting a bit difficult - lots of valleys and hills there and are tough to climb or descend.

- there were suspected cases of arsonists at different areas at the same time.

- fires from smoke exhaust pipes of their noisy, high-end vehicles and tractors working of farmlands too are culprit

No surface sprinkler system installed. I feel they would include this when redesigning and rebuilding that area.
————
I guess the governor is going to resign, once they are able to put out the fire.

America needs to be careful of our Benefit Boys (BBS) at this period, to avoid a repeat of Covid 19 fråûd saga.

So saddening. Lots of home owners didn’t take out fire insurance and their homes gone.

I hope people can volunteer and also donate to rebuilding those towns.

LA fire department and other departments are focusing on the wrong things. Once you start prioritizing DEI over competence, things eventually horribly go wrong

California is only 35% white. Which means there’s a huge distribution of other races and ethnicities in the state. If hiring practices are fair, there should be an even distribution of the state’s population in every sector of the state.

Every position doesn’t have to be occupied by white men before you low IQ coons will agree that the occupant is competent. It’s disgusting and embarrassing to hear you people regurgitate white racist propaganda.

When a position occupied by a white person doesn’t do their job perfectly, do you say it’s the result of DEI?
What an absolute shameful lack of critical thinking on your part. Just because you heard someone say it on the internet. All these arm chair analysts sef🙄

Okay the Cooking gas supply must be a big trigger , and the low pressure of the fire hydrant .. Thanks for the information, quiet valuable in future planning. He should resign except he has Nigeria genes with no shame.

This particular one is not formed yearly. It was assumed Lightning ignited the California fire last year. However, what I am saying is the preparedness. The dryness of the bushes act as fuel. What I am saying is US can do better than this. I tell you they are more prepared for earthquake and tsunamis that this bush fire. They don't see it as a major disaster until this one. A drone or helicopter should monitor the bushes during this period every year. Fire starts from on spot or area and spread. Just before Christmas, I was discussing with my neighbor who was burning stuffs around the house to be careful that California fire will soon start, so let it not start from our house and we laughed over it. If someone like me living in a zoo republic knew what's up, how come US didn't know?

Yes I don't know what caused the fire but I think it's volcano. Whatever it is, US can do better. Even China won't allow this fire to escalate this much.

I will not go further with you as to the causes of the fire you can go with your narratives. What I don't understand is why you are so emotional about the issue or America after all you said that you don't live here. Why are you so emotional about something that have no effect on you or is your family member among the victims. I live here and my older brother's house was affected, right now his families are with me in Houston yet I am not this emotional.
Bro despite the fact that I can draw a good point from what you said America is not a perfect society contrary to what you people think, not even China that you mentioned.
