But those policies come at a cost. And this is, again, going back to America first, Policies have impacts. And if you're going to say that the smelt or the erogenous snailfish or the spotted owl is more important than the safety of millions of residents, that's a decision you have to make openly and clearly. And you have to be honest with your constituents.

Hey, everybody, I know you all want spotted owls flying around. Are you comfortable with your neighborhood burning to the ground to protect that owl? And people would say, no, absolutely not. Are you crazy? So how our structure firefighting community is built, it emanates from the great fires of the 19th century.

So, you know, go through history, especially in America, we built our cities fast during national expansion, built them out of wood, and they built them without any rules. People just threw up whatever they could. Denver, Kansas City, Chicago, Boston, these great fires. The Great Chicago Fire really was the impetus. I think it was 1893.

I might be wrong on a year or two there, but late 19th century. And after that fire, everyone came together and said, Never again. We're done with our cities burning to the ground. This is happening too often. And actually, who came out and fixed it was the private industry.

Westinghouse, General Electric, the electric companies who were wiring our cities with early electricity, there was no code of how to run wires. You know, now you can't put an outlet in without pulling out the code book and a guy coming by inspecting it. Back then, it was so new, you just, yeah, whatever, stick the wires in here and let's go. So all these wood buildings jammed together,

So all these wood buildings jammed together,

with a bunch of wires running through them that were shorting out all the time, and these cities would start on fire, and they'd literally burn to the ground. So in the wake of the Great Chicago Fire, the electrical companies came together and formed an association, an association that today is known as the National Fire Protection Association.

And they said very clearly, number one, this is morally wrong. It's also bad for business. Like, we're burning down cities. We are going to create a system of codes to better protect our cities from wildfire.
