  305.  @AD-ug9gt  Hydrants are not designed to fight brush fires at elevation. the hydrants lost pressure, not water, it was physics, not supply. People Planes and Helicopters fight brush fires, the high winds and night kept most of those resources on the ground. Some people say homes should not be there. Homes can be hardened against brush fires, even retro fit old ones. Protecting eaves and vents from fire is crucial, especially in wildfire-prone areas. Here are some key measures you can take: ### *Fire-Resistant Vents* 1. **Ember-Resistant Vents**: Use vents designed to resist ember and flame intrusion. These vents often have corrosion-resistant and noncombustible wire mesh screens with small openings (1/16 to 1/8 inch). 2. **Baffles**: Install baffles to block embers, backed by wire mesh. This helps prevent embers from entering the vents. 3. **Approved Vents**: Use California-approved vents or retrofit existing vents with approved materials. ### *Fire-Resistant Soffits and Eaves* 1. **Non-Combustible Materials**: Use metal or cement-based products for soffit construction. These materials are less likely to ignite and can contribute to the overall fire resistance of the structure. 2. **Fire-Resistant Coatings**: Apply fire-resistant coatings to soffits and eaves to enhance their fire resistance. 3. **Proper Sealing**: Ensure proper sealing between soffits and the rest of the building to prevent ember intrusion. ### *General Tips* 1. **Regular Maintenance**: Conduct regular maintenance to ensure that vents and soffits are in good condition and free from debris. 2. **Mesh Screens**: Cover all vent openings with 1/16-inch or 1/8-inch wire mesh. Avoid using fiberglass or plastic mesh as they can melt and burn.

  552.  @justtocomment6261  The budget took effect July 2024 but was adjusted after UNION CONTRACT was negotiated in November 2024. The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) budget for the fiscal year 2024/25 presents a nuanced picture where, despite initial cuts, the overall budget increased due to various adjustments. Initial Proposal and Cuts: Mayor Karen Bass initially proposed a budget for 2024/25 that included a cut of approximately $23 million for the LAFD. This was later revised by the City Council to a cut of $17.6 million from the previous fiscal year's budget. Union Contract and Increases: However, following negotiations and the approval of a new union contract in November 2024, the LAFD's budget saw significant increases to cover salaries and benefits. This adjustment resulted in the fire department's operating budget growing by more than $58 million compared to the previous fiscal year, bringing the total budget to $895.6 million for 2024/25. Specific Allocations: Despite the initial cut, there were allocations for salary increases, new equipment, and technology updates, which contributed to the overall increase. For instance, $76 million was allocated to cover the costs associated with the new union contract, which was initially placed in an unappropriated balance before being transferred to the LAFD's budget. Impact and Public Perception: There has been considerable debate and public scrutiny over these budget changes, especially in light of wildfires and other emergencies. Critics pointed to the cuts as potentially hampering emergency response capabilities, while city officials and budget documents highlighted the overall increase, arguing that it supported critical services. Specifically, *$2.5 million* was set aside for new equipment and technology updates. This decision was partly influenced by the aftermath of the fire beneath the Santa Monica (10) Freeway, which highlighted the need for updated resources. In summary, while there was an initial reduction in the LAFD's budget for the 2024/25 fiscal year, subsequent adjustments, particularly related to salary and benefits under a new union contract, led to an overall increase in the department's budget from the previous year.

  735. LAFD budget for the fiscal year 2024/25 Despite initial cuts, the overall budget increased Initial Proposal and Cuts: Mayor Karen Bass initially proposed a budget for 2024/25 that included a cut of approximately $23 million for the LAFD. This was later revised by the City Council to a cut of $17.6 million from the previous fiscal year's budget. Union Contract and Increases: However, following negotiations and the approval of a new union contract in November 2024, the LAFD's budget saw significant increases to cover salaries and benefits. This adjustment resulted in the fire department's operating budget growing by more than $58 million compared to the previous fiscal year, bringing the total budget to $895.6 million for 2024/25. Specific Allocations: Despite the initial cut, there were allocations for salary increases, new equipment, and technology updates, which contributed to the overall increase. For instance, $76 million was allocated to cover the costs associated with the new union contract, which was initially placed in an unappropriated balance before being transferred to the LAFD's budget. Impact and Public Perception: There has been considerable debate and public scrutiny over these budget changes, especially in light of wildfires and other emergencies. Critics pointed to the cuts as potentially hampering emergency response capabilities, while city officials and budget documents highlighted the overall increase, arguing that it supported critical services. In summary, while there was an initial reduction in the LAFD's budget for the 2024/25 fiscal year, subsequent adjustments, particularly related to salary and benefits under a new union contract, led to an overall increase in the department's budget from the previous year.
