Not Enough Fire Trucks.

Not Enough Fire Trucks

A lonely fire truck and firefighters pause in their heroic fight to save whatever they can during the Palisades fire this week. Chief Marrone said a typical structure fire requires three fire engines to fight it and estimated it would require a minimum of 26,000 fire engines to fight the inferno in one city of 8,000 structures lost. “I don’t think the State of California has 26,000 fire engines that could be at one place, right now,” he said.
