There are now houses burning in Mandeville Canyon. That is adjacent to Brentwood. And the Santa Ana winds are set to pick up around noon PST and stay blowing into the evening. If there isn't a weather window long enough to allow fire crews to get ahead of the spread, Rogan's comment about "burned to the ocean" might come true. This development is not driven by wind. The direction of the fire movement is INTO the wind, a sign that it is fuel laden situation. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government."

Smog certificates are usually for registration, at least for personal cars. I would be surprised if the state held up out of state vehicles, but anything is possible for the Calif.gov. -c1steve | |||

At that point I’d tell my crew ”Fuck this. Mount up, we’re going home!” Insanity to be offered assistance then pull this sort of shit. Newscum is now calling for an “investigation” to the failures. How about he step up and sign an EO suspending this bureaucratic horseshit and start being part of the solution for a change? What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???  | |||

I am by no means and “emergency management” professional. Over my 30 years doing the 911 thing though I have learned a thing or two and managed some out of the ordinary events. Also did a weeklong FEMA class/exercise at Emmitsburg on mutual aid operations for major event response. To address legitimate concerns, they could have a checklist of required equipment and vehicle condition that could be done in a matter of minutes locally when crews arrived in area. Good to go? Assign a task and go to work. If equipment isn’t up to snuff, tag it and park it and assign the manpower to assist/relieve other assets. In an emergency, you have to do the RIGHT thing. Sometimes that means breaking or ignoring rules or procedures. Not nilly-willy, but with understanding of risk vs. reward. Money is always an issue, hate for the state to get scammed out of a few hoses or tires but hey how much did those extra 100 structures that burned cost? As another post mentioned, the emissions of those few vehicles is nothing compared to the smoke these fires are putting out. What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand??? | |||

No truer words have been spoken. In a bonafide emergency, one cannot let perfect be the enemy of good. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

Newsom responds to those angry over wildfire response by pointing finger at local leaders, Trump - link.

Or organized arson. No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||

Several years ago, LA County Fire officials stated that over 50% of fires were started by the homeless. https://x.com/amyforsandiego/s.../1877728276086722847 And as far as Rogan's comment about burning to the sea, it has already done that, torching Malibu. The real concern is the fire heading north-east to the Valley and inland. Encino and Brentwood are under evacuation orders. And Beverly Hills is right there next door to Brentwood.

Have you not looked at a fire-map...the fire burnt all the way to the ocean, everything along the PCH, all the homes on Topanga Beach, LaCosta, Carbon, Malibu, Las Tunas Beach etc gone,...Moonshadows is gone, Reel Inn is gone. The Palisades Fire's Westward (technically Southward, that part of the coast faces South) movement was stopped by the Pacific Ocean. | |||

I suppose burning down the State is one way of Trump proofing it….. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

They said if the Santa Ana winds subside- Blowing off shore towards the ocean. The normal ocean breeze would prevail- Blowing onshore with higher humidity. The problem was the onshore winds will blow the fire inland up over the mountains. ____________________________________________________ The butcher with the sharpest knife has the warmest heart. | |||

In my opinion, these fires are the result of homeless individuals living. out in the hills. They start these fires to stay warm. It doesn’t take much for these areas to become a raging inferno. Because of the wide open borders, the homeless population has greatly increased in the area. In Orange County, they have recently found smoldering coals in the hills where small fires have recently been put out. There have been arsonists before. I just personally think this present fire crisis is a homeless issue. | |||

Well I have a feeling that all these displaced Californians are going to flee the state and suspect that Texas will end up with a large amount of them. We already have too damn many of them and really don’t want any more of them. The saying don’t California my Texas applies even stronger now. You want to move here then fine just leave all your crap at your state line. | |||

It was burning north, winds this am shifted back to SW. In my area its about 10-15 right now with gusts to 20+. "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I require the same from them." - John Wayne in "The Shootist" | |||

As an ex-Californian, I agree that new residents should wipe the commie shit off their shoes before entering Texas. But I have a feeling most will stay; most of these folks were middle-upper class and have careers and long term jobs. My sister tells me that she saw on the news that rental apartments, houses, etc are being quickly snapped up as we speak, industry folks are predicting rents to rise in Southern CA.
