Here is pay for all city employees that made more than $75,000 last year: http://www.10newsblogs.com/pdf/earnings.pdf You will notice the first two pages have a lot of firefighters. After that you will notice a lot of police. I hope they can stop the next wildfire for that price, lol.
I know they can’t stop the next wildfire, because they have not changed the fire code enough or the way they enforce the fire code to stop the next wildfire. Fire codes and enforcement is the only way to deal with a wind driven wildfire event. Pat Abbott predicted a fire like the 1970(ish) Laguna Fire would decimate East County property and probably take some lives in the future, when I took his Natural Disasters class at SDSU. He was right twice. The fire plan was wrong twice, and it is still wrong.
