This is a super cool buildup for an ambulance. Iāve spent enough time on an ambulance to know I never want to be around one ever again. But credit where credit is due. This thing is pretty bad ass.
Stocked up and ready! A21, the newest addition to our fleet, rolled out this morning. And itās not the last! We have more new ambulances on order as we continue to invest in our fleet.

Looks like Whiskey Pete survived the impeachment. Make no mistake, this does not mean he is doing good. The grounds for impeachment are pretty specific and nothing was offered that dictated impeachment. However, he is incompetent, unqualified and in way over his head.

CENTCOM used to be the premier location to work at (for). It was truly the spearhead of military force and intelligence gathering. Now itās become a twitter game, pod casts and āsomebody please help usā. Tommy Franks is less than amused.
Rewards for Justice is offering a reward of up to $20 million and possible relocation for information about Iranās nuclear program, including its facilities, equipment, and associated personnel, such as those in the scientific community, or the movement of any of the above.

Interesting post here that puts things into perspective. All of these patches in the image below are the agencies that assisted in a single relatively small fire. The mutual aid, master mutual aid and ICS system in CA is second to none.
It's National First Responders Day! š
During the Norte Fire, we saw the impact of mutual aid as agencies from across California came together to help protect our communities and residents.

Spotted this mantis yesterday under the eaves. Mantis are beneficial. But today I noticed she has one big black eye. That means she either got injured or has an infection. I caught her to keep her safe and give food and water. Hopefully I can release her if she gets better.

Well deserved tribute. Iām heavily paraphrasing here, but thereās a saying that goes the victor in war is the one with a better political reality after the war. Say what you want about Desert Storm or OIF, the bottom line is the world and the region is better off without Saddam.
Today, the Desert Shield and Desert Storm Memorial joins the National Mallās living history. 35 years after these operations, the memorial provides a permanent place to honor the service and the sacrifice.

New fire in OC near San Juan. #NorteFire is 2-4 acres, wind driven, potential for extended incident, requesting 2nd alarm.
If you paid attention to this tweet first thing this morning youād see that Malibu was prime to burn today. These fires are not hard to predict, itās not some conspiracy. Meteorologists actually know what theyāre talking about and measured conditions donāt lie. #BrysonFire
More fires popping off as expected. So far the troops have done a great job keeping them small (except for the Pendleton fire, but those fires donāt really count other than I5 getting shut down). Fire with the biggest potential right now is #BrysonFire near Malibu.
Staffing patterns and pre staged strike teams are being implemented for the wind event. Might get some more info this evening on where theyāll be staged. @LACOFD and @OCFireAuthority are usually pretty good about press releases with this stuff.
Some people are too stupid to know that most of the grasses and shrubs on so cal mountains go through a cycle every year. They get green in the spring, they dry out and go dormant at the end of summer, then get green again next spring. Theyāre not dead when theyāre brown. (1/2)

Somebody needs to say it. This dude is a fucking idiot.
We are about to get hit with another Eaton Fire wind event and look at the Palisades right now. They let all the brush grow back and itās all dead and dried out ready to burn again. Oh and both our reservoirs are still offline and we have a broken water main.
WTF are we doing.

#BikeFire in LA County. Good reminder that these quick splashes of rain donāt quell the risk of wildfire. The fire is approx 50 acres with rapid ROS, structures threatened and potential of 200 acres. 3rd alarm requested.

The Angeles National Forest is assisting @LACOFD with a new start off Ravenhill Rd in Santa Clarita. Fire is 20 acres with a second alarm. Rapid rate of spread.
Structures threatened.

For what itās worth, you can be strong without being barbaric. You can be strong without humiliating your opponent. You can be strong and serve justice without fanfare. You can be strong and beat the enemy without compromising your morals, ethics or values.

Joe Kent has been there, done that and knows what heās talking about.
There is no doubt Hassan deserves to die. His crimes were demonic and unforgivableādeath by firing squad is borderline too merciful. But broadcasting his execution is beneath the dignity & decency of our nation.
Americans will use violence if and when justified, but we do not rejoice in it. Kill him swiftly & silently.
Streaming his execution is not just a stain on our moralityāit also gives the terrorists free propaganda that they will use to radicalize & recruit more terrorists like Hassan.

This is barbaric and terrible. This is not who we are or should be as a nation. Death penalty? Sure. Public executions by firing squad that are live streamed is shit Iran, ISIS, and the Taliban does. Weāre supposed to be better than that.
JUST IN: Public will be able to watch the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan by firing squad, according to Pete Hegseth.

I donāt do this very often, in fact I donāt think Iāve ever done it before, but if you like animals, plants, nature, weather and good California vibes, check out @CaLandBird Sheās by far the most refreshing and positive filled account Iāve come across in a long time.

Something a little different that I normally donāt comment on. This church is St John the Devine in NYC. Construction started on it in 1892, and itās still not officially completed. Either way, the pet blessings are very real. š¶š“šŗšŖš
Oct 4 is the feast of St Francis of Assisi and itās traditionally a day to bless your pet at the church.
