She then addressed concerns that female firefighters may not be strong enough to carry a man out of a burning building, to which she simply responded: 'He got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire.'
You want to see someone that responds to your house, to your emergency - whether it's a medical call or a fire call - that looks like you,' she said.
It gives that person a little bit more ease, knowing that somebody might understand their situation better.'
The background of LA’s firefighting senior managers does not surprise me.
California in is entirety has been all but destroyed as a going concern by the excessive liberalism of is ruling elites.
This is spearheaded by a Miliband level of mania with climate change measures which have led to the highest energy prices on mainland US and the destruction of much of its industrial base.
There has been an exodus of higher and middle rate taxpayers who have become exasperated at ever increasing taxes. Much of the revenue is used on the welfare of illegal migrants (there are almost 700,000 from El Salvador alone) and the next plan floated by Governor Gavin Newsom is for Californian taxpayers to fund reparations for slavery.
The state has over 30% of the USA’s homeless within its boundaries and the only answer that Governor Newsom has is a wealth tax to fund new homes, which has led to the exodus of ever more of the States’ rich.
The State allows its children to change gender without their parents’ consent and a bill introduced personally by Governor Newsom prohibits junior schools from telling parents about a pupil’s chosen gender identity without the pupil’s consent. Meanwhile basic education is failing many children, especially those from poorer backgrounds.
In September 2022, Newsom made California the first sanctuary state for transgender youth and pronounced June 2023 as LGBTQ+ Pride Month in California.
Governor Newsom and his lackies seem so obsessed with gender identity, race and climate change that they have little time to devote to the welfare of the majority of Californians.
So it doesn’t really surprise me that firefighting capabilities may not be high on the agenda of LA’s fire chiefs - or at least on those who appointed them..
Thing is we sit(or stand) here and look on in horror at what is obviously self inflicted disaster. Disaster brought about by putting a creed idealism above practical planning. How many of our utilitity services or vital transport networks, not to mention the health service, have been hollowed out and the funds diverted to promote woke or pc agendas. Where are the planned maintenance schedules, the carefully accounted for and safeguarded investment monies, the staff training( in real terms not woke or H&S or political), the reward for achievement acknowledgements. There are none left. Look at out sewage systems, hospitals, roads, railways, doctors surgeries, coastal defences, energy supplies, law and order agencies and any other vital foundation for safe and healthy living, then ask what the Californian administration was doing that is so different to our own entrenched left wing bias in all things that are public sector or captive client services.
. If you were the Chief Exec. of an insurance company with liabilities heading into the $billions and $billions, would you be in a hurry to pay out?
O GOD this must be AB - I have never read a contract which states " this contract only pays out if you have voted for someone we like"
yes have been involved in someting like this ( what ? ABers gasp, like the Burning of Atlanta? 1864) - they pay out and then refuse to reinsure. - so that is a refusal to continue insuring rather than put on a black list ( AB speak, that is really bad man!)
as far as I can see the majority were uninsured ( fees too high all ready)
Has anyone mentioned the fact that billions of gallons of water are used in swimming pools, often more of a status symbol more than fully used. An ariel shot of residential parts of Califoria can look quite blue. Burt Lancaster in fact made a film called The Swimmer, in which he swims from pool to pool.
Uncovered pools & from what I have seen they all seem to be, are also constantly evaporating in the sunlight and need topping up.
The other night on the News I saw a man shouting next to a dry hydrant, "Where is the water!" I wanted to tell him.
//"Where is the water!" I wanted to tell him. //
You should have a read of mushroom's post at 08:53 today in his thread:

Seems there is plenty of water, but the hydrants suffer pressure loss from time to time. Unsurprising - we had a similar problem in my area when the fire service took six days to extinguish a fire at an illegal rubbish tip a few years ago.
