That's a decision that's going to come from, obviously, the state level. CAL FIRE works for the state. But, you know, they have access to emergency funding. But, you know, at the state level, they have to be giving the directives to CAL FIRE, listen, you need to have all the resources required to be able to respond to fires immediately. You know, California had already lost a whole community

In 2017, 18, we had those fires all over this year in Nevada Front, and obviously Camp Fire destroyed Paradise, California. We had some devastating fires near Truckee. This isn't new for California. They need to be ready for this, and they weren't.

So in L.A. specifically, I don't know these people personally, but obviously we've seen their recruiting videos and the priorities. I mean, what does leadership come down to? I mean, it comes down to prioritize and execute. One of my SEAL team leaders, when I was going through junior officer training, had a great piece of advice that he right in the windshield of his Humvee in Iraq said,

You know, prioritize and execute. Because as a leader, especially in emergency management situations, whether it's combat, whether it's fire, you're almost always going to have more things to do than you have time to do them.

So the most important thing of a leader, the most important thing for a leader to do, crystallize the mission and then prioritize and execute tasks that support the mission outcome that you were expecting or you've been directed to achieve. And as a firefighting organization, your sole mission is to put out fires, save lives, and protect your community.

It's not to create firefighters that look like the people around them. It's not to create equity in the fire department. It's just not. That's a characteristic, not a mission. The mission is to save people's lives. To have a department that looks like the people you're serving, that's a characteristic. And if you want to have a characteristic, that's fine. I'm not criticizing.

But if that characteristic interferes with the mission, you're wrong. And this leadership was wrong because they were focused. And apparently his fire chief was making like $400,000 a year, which I did a little bit of research on that. I guess that's fairly normal for firefighter chief salaries in California. Like they make $300,000 to $400,000 a year. which, hey, more power to you.
