No, I am not naive and I am not kidding, either. Just had a few homeowners call in to KNX 1070 on Tuesday to bitch about the FD just got up and left when the fire approached their homes. Both homes totally destroyed and then after it was gone they came back and started milling around. NBC Sandiego interviewed a guy in Rancho Santa Fe who refused the mandatory evacuation, joined with a neighbor and between them and the pump they put in a pool and a firehose defended their two homes and beat the fire. Similar story in Running Springs. It’s documented. I’ve noticed it and so have many others I’ve talked to because I thought I was nuts, initially. Not saying its the majority. All I’m saying is next time take a look around when it’s on TV and keep an open mind. The FD may need to take some courses in public perception. It may not be what it looks like but sometimes it looks like horseshit. If there is a camera crew nearby, pick up a hose, a shovel, dont just be standing around bullshitting like those 6 guys in Malibu on Sunday when that Castle burned down.
