@everettT sadly you are correct. The state of California mismanaging forestry areas, mis-use of gov funds. Not funding their fire department correctly.
In my post of that insurance company not caring, should have stated many are Not renewing home and or other insurance policies months before the so called fire season on the west coast. (Plausible deniability).
2.8 million reported probably more than that like, No insurance or priced out couldn't afford. Eat? Or pay insurance bill each month/yearly.
Read an article of fire hydrants being inadequate fighting wildfires which makes sense to me. So mayor took off to go to the African continent used funds that should have been put to good use for, well fire fighter, new gear, training, oh maybe better water supply for fighting wildfires.
Not trying to get into the politics. Pointless many people lost their lives, millions of homes burned, billions of dollars lost and counting. FEMA?
Funny how a disaster happens, the first thing ( State elected officials) scream for FEMA where's our government aid. Each State has a duty to citizens first.
Funds get put in the hands of others first instead of going where it should go.
Here in hurricane Alley, anything below I-10 HWY Is! flood zone across All States alone the Gulf. But people love coastal marshland I guess.
Take Florida for example, how many storms have hit that state just in the last decade past + being exposed on 3 sides.
I know you read some of the post above of car insurance alone. Of the funds used for ensuring their pride/prized joy-rides.
I read, some celebrities just jetted they have the funds to do it.
Paris Hilton + other well offs. Wonder if that privileged woman stopped, offered assistance, rides or whatever in her helicopter out of the fire zone or limousine to others. Bet any Hilton hotels will be first in-line having hands out for FEMA money.
Don't know can't say privileged wealthy or whatever for the lack of a better word, may not have been in the area at the time. Multitude of hard working back-bone of their community not so lucky.
