I think that the Oregon fire trucks racing to help in LA that are detained in Sacramento waiting for emissions certificates kinda sums up what's wrong in CA.

Engines being turned away due to emissions is somewhat fake news. Can’t believe everything you read.

Whenever a resource gets assigned to a large incident, especially cal fire, all apparatus overhead and crew vehicles will remain on site at ground support until they are up to standard, from there the home unit can decide whether or not to fix it there or release you back to station. Its really not that hard to pass an inspection, but something required always on check ins and demobe of major incidents.

My brother inlaw’s house survived the fire that torched the McKenzie river canyon in Oregon. Several neighbors house’s burnt to the ground. He had a “green space” 75 yards deep surrounding his home and no wood decks. I think this and a little luck saved his home.
On another note, every gun safe, in a house the burned, failed.

Janisse Quinones, the LA $750,000/yr water chief said her work is guided by an "equity" lens.
(She is one part of the total fail taking water offline)
Quinones said in a July interview with KBLA radio that the importance of putting an "equity lens" to the DWP was "the number one thing that attracted me to this role."

"It's important to me that everything we do, it's with an equity lens and social justice and making sure that right the wrongs that we've done in the past from an infrastructure perspective, and we involve the community in that process," she said.

Well it looks like the community is very involved in this one.
