    This is a great reason to keep a swimming pool or cistern that catches rainwater and a generator and a pump just in case.

    Every home with a swimming pool should by law have an emergency water/fire pump & an irrigation/sprinkler system that douses all the external surfaces of their home...residents need to be far more proactive & not rely on the LAFD, Karen Bass or Newsom to save their property during an emergency.

    • @Avotec2000
      @Avotec2000 2 часа назад +3

      Agreed, and a resident does not really have to stay and fight the fire. Set the pump and sprinkler up to the pool, then skidaddle when fire gets to close..but leave the equipment running.
      Ambivious as to it being a law as that gets into politics This Issue is to serious for that kind of nonsense. Perhaps an of alternative program other then Wildfire Insurance , which does nothing to prevent wildfires. Your idea may not be perfect, but it sounds like progress to me.

      All these homes are built of brick, stone and/or concrete not wood to meet "fire safety codes." They also have fire resistant roofing. Notice the trees and bushes surrounding these totally destroyed homes are still green and are not burned. Plus notice the structures that are burnt are white ash not black ash. This is not normal and 2+2 is not equaling 4 like it should.

    The challenges we are facing in California highlight the importance of carefully evaluating our choices in leadership. While California is traditionally a Democratic and sanctuary state, it’s crucial for voters to consider candidates based on their ability to address the state’s pressing issues rather than strictly adhering to party lines.
    Collaboration across political parties is essential for finding effective solutions, yet our leadership, including Governor Newsom, has struggled to bridge the divide. This is a wake-up call for the next election. Let’s focus on electing leaders who can genuinely improve our state and future, rather than sticking with a party that many feel has fallen short.
    Enough is enough-it’s time for meaningful change.

      His life savings was in that home. If he lost that he might as well loose his life at that age. It’s one thing to hit rock bottom at 40 but to hit rock bottom at 60 or 70. I seen a husband wife and kids in a shelter cause their house caught on fire and was condemned and they had no fire insurance. Then a week later homeless ppl moved in their old condemned home, lmfao! Ironic but true….. one man’s trash is another man’s treasure!
