Some Los Angeles fires have been extinct quickly. There are lessons in there.

Some Los Angeles fires have been extinct quickly. There are lessons in there.

“There is an incendiary fire here in Los Angeles”, Henry Winkler posted on X. It was 10:36 p.m. on Wednesday, January 8. Almost as soon as the fire of the Pacific Palisades broke out, the assignment of the blame began. The president elected blamed the governor. A owner of the billionaire shopping center blamed the mayor. Now, a full day after the burning of Los Angeles, the responsibility for the fires had been distilled in its purest form: the fire. No real cause of fires had been determined, but the criminal fire was simple: everything we had to do now was to find this person and stop them.

Just Hours Before Winkler’s Post, A Little Before 6 pm, A New Fire, The Sunset Fire, Broke Out on Steep Hillside Between Runyon and Nichols Canyons in the Hollywood Hills, A Few Blocks North of Hollywood and Sunset Boulevards – A Famous Slice of The mountains of Santa Monica which advance directly into the thickness of Los Angeles. The previous night, through the city of Altadena, embers of the Eaton fire were transported by howling and threaded winds of buildings up to three kilometers from the fire line. THE Bed Could easily have done much worse: he burned a stone’s throw from a band of the county of the county, filled with buildings, commercial blocks, major museums and even the most famous shopping center in Los Angeles, The Grove, who would have more visitors per year than Disneyland.

But the Sunset Fire has not burned the city. Instead, less than 24 hours after his start, he was arrested. He had burned 43 acres of brush surrounded by houses, but he was fully contained and deleted without destroying a single structure. Not even a car. One day after two serious and finally cataclysmic burns, broke out at the opposite ends of the city – after a full -quarter of 24 hours spent trying to firm the defense lines – the firefighters not only eliminated the new burns in the Hollywood hills, but also fought three other adults, named fires, as well as smaller brush fires throughout the city.

There is an application called Watch Duty which follows forest fires and the response to them; In recent weeks, it has been installed on the phones of many Angelenos. Anyone who had paid the version of the members would have seen something remarkable this Wednesday. When the Sunset fire broke out, there were already more than a dozen trades fighting in the air – by the Pacific Ocean, fighting the fire of the Palisades and in the East, around the mountains From San Gabriel, fighter fire Eaton. The sky was quickly darken, visibility aggravated and the winds were blowing more and more. An “Air Attack” platform with fixed wing has stolen above the air traffic management; He most likely spotted sunset smoke almost immediately. The pilot would have known that the window to make effective drops quickly shrinks. Suddenly, the watch service displayed many of these reaches of planes: they were heading towards sunset.
