DAVE LYING AGAIN UNION CONTRACT negotiations. The LAFD Budget was INCREASED The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) budget for the fiscal year 2024/2025 saw an overall increase. Despite initial cuts of *$17.6 million* from the previous year's budget, the final budget was *$895.6 million**, which is an increase of **$58.4 million* compared to the fiscal year 2023/2024. This increase was primarily to accommodate *salary and benefit increases* included in the new union contract approved by the City Council in November 2024. The contract is expected to cost approximately *$76 million* in the 2024/2025 fiscal year.

LAFD Budget increased, not decreased, and $2.5 allocated for new equipment. Easy to fact check. The LA County Fire Chief who oversaw the Eaton Fire is a White, Male with 38 years of service.

It's a lie, that's why. the LAFD budget for 2024/25 was increased. It's almost 1 billion dollars. This video is part of UNION SALARY contract negotiations. Again, the budget was increased.

@stevewehn4581 I voted for Newsom recall and Trump in 2020/24. I run to facts, not lies. Dave and Adam are lying, you suck it up.

@ Palisades fire put out by the full and functional Stone Canyon Reservoir, 3.8 billion gallons. Believe the lies about Newsom just like the Woke Left believes lies about Trump.

LAFD UNION CONTRACT negotiated November 2024. Budget went up, not down.

I believe most the fires are arson, with the possible exception of the Eton Fire. The arson story is the one we should be following. On Jan 1st an arson fire broke out at Skull Rock Trailhead above the Palisades. I've hiked there myself. LAFD knocked it down fast, no wind. Arson again on Jan 7th in high wind event. LAFD had little chance. I've been in 70mph firestorms. We are being lied to by both the Woke Left and Right. Why? The Palisades will be rebuilt using illegal Alien labor. An illegal alien was caught with a blow torch on Jan 9th starting fires in Woodland Hills near the Kenneth fire. Trump announced mass deportations starting "Day One". The big story not being told.

We don't have FORESTS to WATCH in the Pacific Palisades. What are you talking about?

*CAL FIRE* operates a large fleet of *31 helicopters**. These helicopters are used for various firefighting missions, including water drops, transportation of personnel, and medical evacuations. The fleet includes different types of helicopters, such as the **Bell UH-1H Super Huey* and the **Sikorsky S-70i Firehawk**. The Los Angeles County Fire Department (LAFD) operates a fleet of *seven helicopters**. This includes **five medium-duty helicopters* and **two light-duty helicopters**. The helicopters are used for various missions, including brush fire suppression, air ambulance transport, high-rise fire response, and hoist rescues.

The 2024/25 Budget was increased, not cut. They are lying to you.

@ "Proof"? It's public information Yes, that's correct! The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) budget for the fiscal year 2024-25 has indeed been increased. Despite initial cuts of $17.6 million earlier in the year, the budget was ultimately raised to *$895.6 million* from *$819.6 million* due to the new union contract approved in November 2024. This increase primarily covers salary and benefit increases for firefighters. It's a significant development, especially considering the operational challenges the department has been facing. What are your thoughts on this increase?

@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.

@justtocomment6261 Despite the initial budget cut of $17.6 million for the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), additional funds were allocated for new equipment. Specifically, *$2.5 million* was set aside for new equipment and technology updates.

The budget went up, not down, due to union contract negotiations in November2024. Easy to fact check.

@justtocomment6261 LAFD budget is almost $900 million dollars. Altadena/Eaton fire was not in Los Angeles, covered by LA County and Cal-Fire. Similar outcome. The LA County Fire Chief is a White Male with 38 years on the job. Karen Bass has only been Mayor for 2-years. Where's Garcetti? He was Mayor from 2013 to 2022, two terms, one extended so he served nine years. Garcetti is going to run for Governor. Funny.

There is clear evidence that the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) budget increased for the fiscal year 2024/2025. Initially, Mayor Karen Bass proposed a *2.7% reduction* in spending for the LAFD. However, after closed-door negotiations, the City Council approved a new union contract in November 2024, which included *four years of raises and other financial incentives* for the city's firefighters. This added more than *$53 million* in additional salary costs. Additionally, the City Council approved *$58 million* for new firetrucks and other department purchases. When these salary increases and equipment purchases were factored in, the LAFD's operating budget grew by over *7%* compared to the previous fiscal year.

The wildfires in Texas during early 2024 were devastating. The *Smokehouse Creek Fire**, the largest of these, burned over **1.09 million acres* and became the largest wildfire in Texas history. In total, the wildfires scorched more than *1.14 million acres**, destroyed around **138 homes and businesses**, and resulted in the deaths of at least **three people* and over **15,000 head of cattle**.

DAVE LYING AGAIN The Eaton Fire in Altadena, CA covered by LA County Fire, not LAFD. But both fires fought by crews from all over SoCal, then North America.
