There is no excuse for it.

Simply because the fire was so horrific is no excuse for not having every single resource available to fight it.

And yes, the postmortem is gonna be colored by political interests. To wit (no pun intended): Gavin Newsome.

This is yet another example of government failing The People. If those poor people rebuild, it should be stipulated that it is at their own risk instead of implying the political leadership has the competence to protect them. The reality is The People in this nation are on their own and probably have been for at least half a century.
