The United States is the most developed country in the world, with a large number of aircraft carriers and sophisticated weapons, but it cannot protect its cities and is weak in the face of disasters. This is really ridiculous.
Wildfires are not easy to control and the larger and faster it spreads, it becomes uncontrollable. Another issue is it's a very very dry state, with very low rainfall per annum and high winds. Plus they can't get to alot of the areas with the equipment they need to where it is spreading
It’s the neglect of our climate and stupid politicians who chose not to fund environmental agencies. No one cares about the forest fires until it hits a big city 😢
Such a nightmare ! Thinking of everyone and all the pets, Nature and wild animals too 😢 Praying for the wind to calm down and the firefighters to succeed and stay safe too ! Praying for my 2 elderly friends in LA too , scared for them...
Prayer is about all we have now with all the mismanagement of our country, but especially California. This was all planned and it’s to the core. We need miracles and God to bless the firefighters with resources that aren’t there and to calm the winds and so many other things. Praying for all living things and Ernest.
🙏My prayers out for the 🙏firemen, first responders🙏 for their very hard work, and poor families🙏, pet's and❤ loved ones my brothers who live their all stay safe. 🙏
Eve vents are a huge factor that allow embers to enter into buildings. If they were replaced with vents that have spark resistant designs, that would have cut down on a lot of these buildings catching fire. Building codes should mandate that all new construction must use these types of vents. That would greatly reduce the chance of embers getting into attic areas of buildings. Think defensibly about causation and prevention. Stucco/masonry/"Hardie board" and metal exterior exposures only. Vinyl/wood windows are a weak spot in this scenario. Possibly using Hardie board panels as exterior window shutters would reduce the possibility of window glass from shattering due to the heat of exterior fire exposure. Although expensive, there are metal roll-down shutters that can protect widows from fire as well. I'm from the East Coast originally. Many of the older colonial homes there, have shutters that were closed during the threat of hurricanes. Let us learn from their solutions and apply them to modern problems. Metal or tile roofing will greatly help. Composition, i.e.-asphalt shingles, are flammable. Keep landscaping vegetation to a minimum, low and well trimmed. Avoid flammable exterior items from being around the buildings. Masonry or metal panel fences/walls in place of hedges, are a good idea too.
A country so proud of its economic and military power, but unable to stop a fire in an urban location for days on. And they claim to be the greatest nation of all... sure.
so sad, mylove and thoughts are with these ppl in LA. Best wishes that it will soon be over , what a tragedy soooo sad....Best wishes to you ppl in LA❤regards
A single spark from a power line could start it. The risk has been present and pointed out for years. The governor simply ignored the warnings or prioritized other things.
I think it’s a horrific tragedy with these Los Angeles fires….. I pray for all the victims with soothing Love and prayers and hugs But with all due respect….. this area has the largest concentration of some of the most richest people in the world….. I feel it should be a joint effort with the fire departments and these outrageously rich individuals to help save their city/community/homes…. It’s not just up to the fire departments to handle something this catastrophic alone….. these individuals could have helped a while ago financially to help at least slow these fires down or stopped them completely Again…… love and prayers to all affected by these tragic fires But those my feelings in the whole situation 𝓑𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓼𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓼
The rest of the world may not give us too much credit but, In our struggles, in our stride, Side by side, we always ride. Diverse threads in a single band, Together in heart, united we stand. It will take us a while to fix this mess but we’ll be back helping the rest of the world soon cause that’s who we are.
I'm sorry I may not have been paying attention; I have a few questions. I'm wondering what started this fire/s? Where did they start? With wildfires every year how could California NOT be prepared for this? Why on earth would the homes have water pressure, but the hydrants did not?
@Pahsghetti what do you think they do they provide funding and resources use your Noggin... don't tell me they have yeah they might have now on the seventh day
The recent wildfires in California have exacerbated the homelessness crisis, with approximately **179,700 new individuals** being added to the unhoused community. This situation has raised serious concerns about the treatment of these individuals, as they are now subject to increased harassment, fines, arrest, and incarceration for sleeping outside. I hope y'all didn't lose your ID card. It gets even worse if you do.
It is confusing because the CA government keeps changing things for the homeless. Last year and the year before the government gave them tents and told them they could live at the beaches. Now they want them to move from the beach. Same thing goes for shoplifters. The governor told them they could steal up to 1K out of any ca store during the pandemic and they would not be prosecuted. Then a couple years ago he walked back that senseless statement. So you have homeless people still living at the beaches and shoplifters still stealing because they keep changing the laws.
Hilarious how you say trees are heavy fuel and in the burnt out areas where houses are ash at ground level, there are standing trees with leaves on them. Looks like a DEW weapon attack, much like Paradise CA & Lahaina, Maui
Needs Context. While the LAFD's budget for the 2024-2025 fiscal year did decrease by about $17.6 million from the previous year, the amount is a small fraction of the department's total annual budget of almost $820 million. Furthermore, the LAFD is not the only department responding to the wildfires. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and the Los Angeles County Fire Department are among the agencies tackling the fires, and federal resources have also been deployed.
Aid sent to Ukraine is decided by the federal government, not newsome. Also most of the aid going to Ukraine is surplus military equipment, so Ukrainian aid has nothing to do with. Please don’t take advantage of a difficult situation to spread misinformation.
MY PRAYES GOT OUT TO ALL AFFECTED O Divine Spirit of compassion and mercy, In this time of trial and tribulation, we humbly come together, Lifting our hearts in solidarity for all beings Our fellow humans and the innocent animals caught in the flames. May the energies of love and healing surround them, Protecting them from harm and fear, As the fire rages and the smoke envelops. We call upon the sacred winds to carry safety, And the nourishing rain to quench the destructive thirst of the blaze. May the light of hope shine brightly in their hearts, Guiding them toward shelter, safety, and solace. With one voice, we beseech humanity to unite, To extend hands of kindness and support, Opening our hearts to those in need, For in unity, we find strength and resilience. May we be instruments of peace, compassion, and care, Working tirelessly to provide relief and restoration, As we stand together, honoring all life and the sacred bond.
No water in hydrant to distinguish the fire, no insurance to cover the lost, no capable govenor to manage the fire department. Alas !!! One more reason to support Trump.
Chiquita Canyon Landfill was closed by the out cries of the near by residents, all the debris in the clean up process will be effected by over running current land fills, expect longer lines for trash trucks, traffic, maybe higher prices for dumping which will be effect everyone.
In 2004 Indonesia experienced a tsunami in Aceh and destroyed all modern buildings. Amazingly, the old building, a legacy of the Islamic kingdom, a mosque, remained clean and sturdy.
Just a though and idea: I believe moving forward collecting all the data from all the wildfires that have been burnt all through California (all the recent years). They should figure out a way to dig a trench line: permanently to cambat wildfires. You can have underground irrigation system that could be used as sprinklers (large ones) to put out fires for a couple of hundred to thousands of feet or miles… You can use salt water process through a machine to take out the sodium and use that water to combat wildfires so that it doesn’t affect the supply line for the citizens. By then you could create a robot with a Jetpack that can go and activate in combat wildfires, virtual reality and AI systems. Not to mention using drones that carry water constantly via satellite airplane and laser targeting. That way you save lives and prevent thousands and millions of damages.
No military oxygen vacuum bombs available? There’s no water. Swimming pools can be tapped with fire truck pumps and hoses when fire hydrants are not providing.
Remember…wildfires broke out in PA, NJ and NY this past fall. Thankfully these affected areas did not have the same drought and wind conditions. Climate change is real. Big money needs to be banned from politics. Government and elected officials should serve the people by developing policies to solve problems (like the War on Cancer).
Where's the Army, Navy and Air Force? What's the use of all those human resources and technological capabilities if they can't be used to fight within their own country? Finally, how exactly did the inferno start???

They CHOOSE NOT to.
The military industrial complex is somehow far more important than climate prep and social programs. And it shouldn't be.
100 mph winds. What can fly in that?
It’s the neglect of our climate and stupid politicians who chose not to fund environmental agencies. No one cares about the forest fires until it hits a big city 😢

Going forward, it should be mandatory that ALL homes in Los Angeles fire danger zones should be fitted with sprinkler systems. 0:14
From ocean water
Trying to protect a home from an out-of-control inferno using sprinkler systems is like trying to put out a bonfire by spitting on it.
Or going backwards
Won’t help with dry brush, limits on water use, drought and 100mph winds.
This scene will repeat forever as long as people build there. Either build only monolithic homes, or news flash, you don't have to live there.
It’s easier to fool people than to convince them they’ve been fooled
☝
Exactly as planned.
correct, and all we can do is try our best to wake others up
I've read that statement at least a thousand time through that last 4 years
never heard that good 👍🏽
So absolutely tragic. Thank you for the thorough reporting!
This is the final nail in the coffin for LA.
Look at the area on fire... This is planned. This is intentional. If these people leave, who is left.?...
Lmfao. 5 people dead in a city of 18 million. Sounds like the city is done for! Go back to Fox news brah.
Yes now nobody will want to live in year-round sunny weather.
Thoughts are with you. Best of luck. From Northampton UK ❤
Cut their budget by almost 18 million
Firstly that’s misinformation, secondly even if they had raised it by 18 million, give 100 mile an hour winds a fire will not be containable.
Omg is this going up the west area of San Fernando? I pray everyone stays safe

How much do people pay in taxes for this 3rd world infrastructure?

Too much.

Why do americas think they can control everything, pipe down yall egos u can’t prevent Mother Nature.
Why is it so difficult to get footage? The first opportunity was this?
How is there no water? Similar to Hawaii.
Cause IT ran Out.
How are we sending all this money to Ukraine and we can’t even put out our own fires
Sorry to hear this is happening. Very scary.
We are in the end times, repent and believe in the Gospel. ✝️
The tooth fairy told me that religion is a man-made construct designed by the ruling classes to manipulate, control and exploit the masses.
In winter, this is crazy
Has there been any hews ee how these fires started?
A single spark from a power line could start it. The risk has been present and pointed out for years. The governor simply ignored the warnings or prioritized other things.
Barak Yahuah !

Is it possible to deforest a line of path to stop the fire from spreading?
Yes it is

Ask yourself at this point. Is this divine intervention, foreign or domestic?
