Since they’re next to the ocean, can’t they use multiple helicopters to scoop water up and then drop on the fire?

Or they already doing that?

Lol. I don't know if it works like that. But that's what I was wondering as well

So when you drive down Sunset down around the Conedy Store area and further down, you can see the houses in the hills right behind that.

Are those areas on fire?

They are using them in the Hollywood Hills to try and contain the blaze for ground teams to do their work.

This is a horrible look for dems. Bass cut fire dept funding and has been a disaster. Then sheared on a trip to Ghana during all this



Democrats have complete control of california and they have destroyed it. Nobody could say otherwise

Here is the map for the Hollywood Hills

The red outline is the known fire, but there is a chance the area in red outside of the red outline could be on fire since those have been told to evac... the ones in yellows are ok.

Well the previous Dems made it great. It's an individual thing more than the party.

If Republicans dominated California it'd be 5x more expensive to live there than it already is

Insurance isnt a scam per se. Insurance isnt really for us, its more for the mortgage companies or auto loan companies that are the ones financing the homes and cars for us. 99% of us would not be able to cover the losses out of our pockets to pay for car repairs or rebuild these homes lost in a fire.

Understandibly though (and I see and feel it daily), it does feel like a scam when we are paying for this stuff each month and never have to use it. But when you do, its a godsend. So I hope that all of these who have lost homes and businesses have insurance to be able to help start over again. And I hope that these insurance companies dont be a$$holes to these people.

*American insurance companies are a scam in practice. In theory, they're fine.

Them being able to back out of an agreement is the scam.

More days go by I understand being in the GOAT city is prob best. Don’t gotta worry about wild fires or hurricanes. Really the worst is the cold & snow storms both of which we seeing weakened versions.

I've been seeing it's more the area near Runyun Canyon. It's close to that area but there is still separation from the houses at the bottom of the hill.

My shed burnt down at my rental in Tampa December 11th.

Insurance did their thing and sent me a check last week.

My deductible was $2500.

My 6K check only covered so much. I’m about $2500 in the hole so far.

The fire affected the neighbor’s shed as well. I shot him a message saying to get with his insurance and file a claim because my insurance might cover it.

My insurance did cover the contents of the shed. The houses water heater and tenants washer and dryer were in there.

We think the tenants did it for insurance money. Dude said ont he police report he was unemployed and also said he had “20K” in tools in the shed.

POS. They decided to say there are moving out now and want their deposit back plus haven’t given January’s rent yet. We property manager is figuring out if it’s worth it to penalize them or let them out. I want that deposit money though. Have rental properties and have shytty tenants rent them only to commit fraud Coli Brehs.

The tenants didn't have renter's insurance? $20k in tools is asinine.

Doubt it very seriously. California has way too many social programs. Every whore that has a baby gets a check. Illegals get ebt cards and health care.


Now, I don't want full gop control either. I want dems to use common sense and stop pushing the gay shyt and being so welcoming to illegals

These wild fires are never in urban areas. They always way out in the hills

I am in Houston and what the mayor did is nothing to what governor hot wheels did. Let's not forget:

Gov. Greg Abbott defends trip to East Asia during Hurricane Beryl

Abbott’s critics say he could have postponed the trip until the storm had passed, or at least cut it short once he saw the scale of the disaster.

Texas governor jets off to Asia as state is hammered by deadly Hurricane Beryl

While Texans bare the brunt of Beryl, Greg Abott is overseas on a trip seeking to strengthen economic ties in Asian countries

Acting governor was too slow to react and deflected to the president and Harris County leadership
