RE: Palisades Fire 🔥

It’s simply not true that nothing could have been done to stop the Palisades fire. Fires like this don’t just happen out of nowhere—there were multiple opportunities to mitigate the damage and potentially prevent it from getting out of control.
1.Pre-deploying fire trucks – Officials knew about the incoming wind event, yet fire resources weren’t strategically placed ahead of time. A proactive approach could have allowed for a faster response when the fire started.
https://t.co/nR4CYGZSwb spotters – With strong winds and dry conditions, having dedicated spotters in high-risk areas could have caught the fire early, preventing it from spreading.
3.Functional fire hydrants – It’s unacceptable that hydrants lacked water. Ensuring a working water supply is a fundamental responsibility in fire-prone areas.
4.Alternative water sources – Once it was clear there was no water in the hydrants, additional trucks with water should have been immediately dispatched, particularly on 1/8 and 1/9. Firefighters could have also utilized residential pools as an emergency water source.
5.Reservoir levels – The two reservoirs in the Palisades should have been full and ready for emergency use. This is a basic preparedness measure.
https://t.co/5hOPM0z55u breaks and brush clearance – More could have been done in advance to create defensible spaces and slow the fire’s spread, especially in the hills above the Palisades. This is not a new issue—brush management should be an ongoing priority.
7.Aerial fire retardant drops – Planes should have been deployed earlier to contain the fire before it grew out of control.
8.More water-dropping aircraft – There were only two available water-dropping planes, and one was taken out of service due to a drone. We need more aircraft to handle fires of this magnitude, and officials should have contingency plans for when equipment is compromised.
9.Leadership and planning – This is not the first time we’ve faced a fire like this. The Woolsey Fire, the 2021 Palisades Fire, and the Getty Fire should have been learning experiences. Leaders should have had a well-prepared, well-practiced response plan.

Fires may be inevitable in Southern California, but large-scale destruction isn’t. Saying “nothing could have been done” ignores the many ways this fire could have been better managed and mitigated. This isn’t just about hindsight—it’s about accountability and ensuring that next time, we do better.
