Bombshell Texts Reveal LA Fire Brass Knew Fire That Burned Down Palisades Wasn't OutIn one text message, a firefighter who was at the scene on Jan. 2 wrote that the battalion chief had been told it was a "bad idea" to leave the burn scar unprotected because of the visible signs of smoldering terrain. "And the rest is history," the firefighter wrote in recent weeks.
As one of the text exchanges between the firefighters put it later, "And the rest is history." The conflagration that followed killed twelve people and destroyed thousands of homes and businesses in the Pacific Palisades and Malibu. The Los Angeles Times reported that firefighters tending the aftermath of the eight-acre Lachman Fire on January 2 were told by their commander in a text that they needed to leave.

The LA Firefighters were not pre-deployed even though they'd had days' notice of the coming Santa Ana windstorm. Gavin Newsom's claim that he pre-deployed fire engines on state land nearby was quickly fact-checked as untrue. While Bass and her crew at City Hall claim they're making things easier for people to rebuild, reports on the grounds are completely opposite. Palisades developer, Rick Caruso, says most of the city planning personnel are still working from home. He says if he were in charge, he'd have a series of contractor trailers in the Palisades filled with city planning department personnel to process permits...
