FALSE CLAIM: New ‘report’ claims no firetrucks in The Palisades & no high-wind warnings during LA Firestorms

• Leading up to the historic and devastating firestorms in the Los Angeles area – specifically The Palisades and Altadena – the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) prepositioned 65 local government fire engines, 7 water tenders, 7 helicopters, 9 dozers and more than 105 specialized personnel in Los Angeles, Riverside, Orange, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties through the state’s Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System. 
• Additionally, CAL FIRE relocated firefighting resources from Northern California to Southern California, including 45 additional fire engines and six additional hand crews, to Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties.
• In total, at peak, more than 16,000 personnel were deployed in response, including firefighters, California National Guard service members, highway patrol officers, and transportation teams. This personnel response was paired with included more than 2,000 pieces of firefighting equipment: 1,490+ engines, 80+ aircraft, 200+ dozers, and 210+ water tenders to aid in putting out the fires. 
• Finally, the National Weather Service DID issue multiple high-wind alerts on January 6th and January 7th, calling it a “A LIFE-THREATENING, DESTRUCTIVE, Widespread Windstorm is expected Tue afternoon-Weds morning” and “DAMAGING WIND and EXTREME FIRE WEATHER” with “gusts 50-80 mph, Isolated 80-100 mph mountains/foothills.” These were just a few of the alerts the National Weather Service issued as part of these deadly storms.
