This has nothing to do with illegal immigrants or LGBTQ folks.

There is not a fire depatrment anywhere in the world that can take on a fire like those happening in the LA area. If there is a fire in your house you call the fire dept and they come and put out the fire. If they get there early enough the damage may be minimal or if the fire rages enough the damage will be bigger.

These fires are very different.

The LA fire dept is there to protect people. Fire and hurricane force winds and dry conditions don't mix very well.

Something like that happened here about five years ago. Fires started mid summer and it was dry from lack of rain. The fires burned well into the fall before they could all be put out.

Most (but not all) of our fires burned unpopulated areas although several structures did burn. In LA these fires are burning in heavily populated areas.
