🚨 Fire Departments in Los Angeles had a map that showed a major fire was coming. It was so obvious it was coming Fire Chief Robert Garcia had his department on standby They knew the Pacific Palisades fire was about to happen and Democrats did nothing Spencer Pratt “I went and met with the chief of the US Forest Service and talked to him for a few hours. This guy, Chief Garcia, he's one of the most famous fire chiefs — he told me this was not a surprise. He said they all have a map. I forget the name of this map that it goes to all cities and emergency personnel. They have photos — Everything is bright red leading up to January 7th, bright red. They knew this was coming to the point where Chief Garcia had all of his firefighters on the tarmac, kitted up, in their helicopters. He said his whole team was standing by their computers because it was so obvious this fire was coming” Chief Robert Garcia is the Fire Chief of the Angeles National Forest for the US Forest Service. He is a longtime wildland firefighter with over 30 years of experience, starting in 1994 on the Angeles National Forest in Southern California Democrats had to know this information because this fire chief worked with the Los Angeles Fire Department He works closely with local agencies like LAFD, Los Angeles County Fire Department, and others during major incidents Demand accountability. Democrats should be charged with criminal negligence. There was literally a map saying this was coming

Late Saturday morning, the FDNY responded to a 5-alarm fire at 1740 East Tremont Avenue in the Bronx. The fire originated in a one-story auto body shop and extended to two nearby dwellings. Four Firefighters sustained minor injuries, and approximately sixteen residents were displaced. “When our units arrived, we had heavy fire throughout the motor vehicle repair shop. We attempted to enter and extinguish the fire, but there was a significant amount of fire and concerns about structural stability. We did have a collapse in the rear of the building, but our members were able to identify the danger and exit safely before it occurred,” said Chief of Department John Esposito. The fire was placed under control and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
