Here is Adam Carolla's take on the celebrities trying to rebuild after the fires. Pretty funny. Adam Carolla Perspective on Rebuilding

What you're not understanding is that it would have taken a mile wide fire break to potentially do anything. There are all kinds of existing fire breaks, they're called roads! Fires in the situation we just experienced jumped them with ease. Also you don't understand that in times like this...

I'm sure in theory something like this would work. The big issue I see is practical application and then operation. Maintenance and who turns it on? Also it would have years and years of sitting with no use except for periodic testing. I've seen the aging fire sprinkler system on an 80yo...

I'm not letting the politicians off at all, but I'm also not sure what you think could have been done. Are you suggesting that all the hillsides be cleared of brush? If so that's just ridiculous. Could they have tried building a huge fire break around these communities? Yes. Biggest problem with...

Given my past experience this is exactly my opinionas well. Once it started the conditions all aligned and it was unstoppable. It would have jumped fire breaks and all the clearing wouldn't have mattered because houses and structures were the fuel carrying its forward rate of spread. The best...

I'll be there next month. Actually flying into Nashville then driving up to Hendersonville

Welcome, also in Apple Valley! Fuck off! Don't pay any attention to this guy...haha.

He also said today that the federal government would cover 100% of the recovery effort. What about the people affected by Hurricane Helene? Surprised it isn't going to Ukraine. Biden says federal government to cover 100% of costs for initial LA fire recovery

Didn't know where to post this. So here it is.

Haha don't hold your breath!

That knocked the wind out of me just watching that. Ouch!

Ventura, Carlsbad, the Owen's valley, and small towns in Northern, CA near the OR, NV boarder. CA is great and so much to offer but has been completely ruined by its politics.

I was a little slow on this...haha

And now there's another in the Hollywood hills.

Yeah "poly tank" became the standard for most in the mid 80's. Pre 1980 they were steel or aluminum. They key is keeping the strainer off the bottom of your water source. Something an engineer would be trained on. Yes plant matter and nasty gunk can get sucked up. If you're going straight to the...

Actually it is that easy if they have access. Hard part is getting close enough as you can only lift water 24' at sea level pulling a draft. Also sounds like they were drafting out of the river with no strainer on the draft hose and the zinc anode strainer on the pump inlet wasn't there. Fire...

They were also told to leave their keys

What's news without drama? They can't just speak normally and discuss facts or even say I don't know. It's all a production.

Second fire burning in Altadena now.

Oh trust me I've seen it all. I've been driving code 3 down the left shoulder on the freeway which was stopped and was met with people who think it's ok to turn around and go opposing to get out of traffic. Then everyone starts copying one another. People go full retard in emergency situations...
