Well, and when we were dropping in there to fly in, it boggles the mind when you look at those areas on the outskirts of LA, how... packed how close those homes are together. I mean, just for miles, it's just absolutely, you know, they're a foot apart for miles. I mean, once you get a fire going like that, I don't know how you stop it.

And like you say, I don't know how it hasn't happened before and, or how they're going to keep it from happening again, because you know, the, the rebuilding part too, like what people don't understand. And I understand what Trump was saying. And I agree with some of how he, the, the idea that he was trying to push them to cut some red tape and help rebuild.

But you also can't just go into those areas and start bulldozing stuff immediately because like when I, when I was a lineman, When you have a fire like that come through, there's a few things to think about. One, gas. Gas lines are coming out of the ground. You have regulators and they're shut off.

But if people start just stripping across the ground with a blade or whatever and you break all that stuff off, now you have blowing gas.

The natural gas lines, yep, that supply that.

The natural gas lines, yep, that supply that.

Though they're not low pressure. I mean, they're medium pressure. They're low pressure after they go through a regulator, but when they come out of the ground, they're still at, you know, line pressure from the main that they're coming from. Yeah. But when you, you have a burned out home there and you just take a back or a bulldozer and you just scrape off that lot. Yeah.

You have gas lines coming out of the ground on every single one of those. So you have to go through and mitigate that danger and make sure that all those gas lines are taken care of. You then power wise, you have junction cans and transformers. And what you don't know is what's still hot and what's not hot as far as energized. So you can't just assume.
