Los Angeles fire bosses opted not to deploy 1,000 available firefighters and more than 40 water-carrying engines until after one of the wildfires was burning out of control — even as extreme warnings were coming in about life-threatening winds, according to a damning new report.
Officials held off ordering hundreds of available fire crews to remain on duty for a second shift last Tuesday to help battle flames taking hold in the since-ravaged Pacific Palisades neighborhood, according to internal fire department records obtained by the Los Angeles Times.
