The LA County issues an investigation in finding the Eaton Fire fire

Poverty, less, lack of adequate planning and contributions to failure in the Altadena field as a deadly fire is released in the public, according to a long-awaited reported on Thursday.

The report did not give Botched warning but found Los Angeles County without a clear process of who should issue travel orders and called great changes. Nine people died in the fire, all of them found in the West Altadene, a place that had not received evacuation and hours after threatening fire.

However, 132-page report appeared to be born down on how the fire threatened southwest Altadena – despite 911 telephone reporting and smoke in the fire.

Instead, he focused on “a complete storm of” satellite, “the front of the fire” was not in western altadena, – about two hours after the exhibition.

But those notes came many hours after several fires allowed in the past night and after some officials have shown the area in danger.

The independent investigations in consultation with the firm Mcchrystal Group – issued for eight months after the Los Angeles Area Airsomsis – Assignment

“The survivors in Eaton’s fires deserve the answers – and today’s report is an important step to deliver them,” said the manager Kathyn Barger, his district, his district.

While the Eastern Lake Avenue areas have the exits after 7 PM at the evening Jan. 7, most Western Altadena did not receive exit alerts up to 3:30 am. Some places did not receive warnings until about 6th am, hours after people began to report fire to 911. Many residents have supervised us after rooting households filled with smoke full, or saw their roads on fire. Some who left after receiving the fleeting order said they escaped a little.

The authorities tell the Times that the ventilation was divided between three agencies: Los Angeles County Sheriff, Los Angeles County Fire Department of Los Angeles County and the Emergency Management Office. But the report was found that there were no clear principles that show which agency is, indeed, eventually faced output orders.

Without giving a suspicious or explaining the wrong, the report confirmed that between 1 and 3 in Jan. 8, the district does not send any output alerts. The report said at the time, “all places [L.A. county fire officials] The believer is that they are directly affected or at risk of Eaton and received a warning or order. ”

But that wasn’t.

The first order of Western Altadena arrived at 3:25 in the morning, after the seams were at least 14 fires reported in the area, according to 911 timber from Los Angeles County Fire Program received by times.

The report revealed, however, that the first Fire Calls do not match the area of ​​the disposal facilities, and they seemed to doubt the authenticity of those original and presence of flames. The report states that the first 911 fianical call in West Altadena where the injured building was built just before 1 am 8 – two hours issued.

At least two firemen workers also reported that the fire may have burned west for more than an hour before expanding West Altadena, according to the report.

A member of the Fire Fire in the Wildlife in Altadena, saying that the staff of the integrated order within two Jan. 8 That, because of the great spirits, because of immigration they should pass the seedlings of Altadena, all the way to Ca Caña. The compilation staff said they did not remember that this happened and that the fire front did not go west at the time.

About two hours later, at 2:18 in the morning, Straffer and County Fire radio expressed fire in north and Farwwortworth Park.

The report commends the simplified form of exit: The Fire Department Choosing the Bariff Department of Fire to take place to take place and an emergency authority is posting alerts.

The report emphasized the storm night environment with the Surrarane Force Points and scattered two miles. Unlike patalades fire, the worst half Firefight part is fully struggled with the force of the aircraft that 6:45 pm the eye of the eye without flames.

The report repeatedly states how these situations have created the “full storm” of firefighters, and highlight NASA’s jet proximbidges can catch fire and discharges.

While the fire was originally burned in the east, firefighters reported quickly that they were spreading “everywhere, and the winds of 70 to 90 mph.

“Migration decisions and Messages could not be accompanied by fire,” said a report.

The report also states that the fire has filed the West Altadena as the wind speed increased, explaining it as a “populated populated households made of material use” in accidents. ”

The way the County carries expation has deeper mistakes, and its emergency agency is a list below, reported.

Sometimes, when officials remove the area, they will remove the place near it. But that practice was not explained and did not happen in western Altadena.

The report also stated that the County office of emergency management is very small in the size of the people working.

Compared with emergency management structures in the same size packages, County has the smallest employees, budget and independence of its operating skills, “said the report.

Three-carrying agencies have no one platform to connect to communication, increasing obstacles for decisions made in response to Fire Response, This report. The Sheriff Department’s staff may have known in the real time where the areas were under the area or orders of immigration, as they did not always be aside for the agencies. According to the report. The command mailer and did not have the Internet, to force officials to rely on the calls and messages of text communication.

County has increased to awareness systems and only experienced “experienced” workers who see how they use the new system, leaving “disaster risk factor,” reported. The Times had reported that the County made a switch to the new location of three weeks after finding the software, raised questions about how to train them to train.

There was also a small written record where the areas should be issued and the decision was made. Although some officials are in making decisions told wild investigators to the camps about the decisions of exit, notes “were incomplete, or not limited.”

This report is also mentioned – without composing people or agencies – that the district was “overwhelmed with overwhelming” during fire, anxious by adding confusion, panic or unnecessary road news. State guidelines and warning systems to tell emergency operator that “fear ‘is not a good reason to delay or avoid publishing warning.”

The report was conducted by the MCchrystal Group, a consultation company with an experienced government response to natural disasters. The Report has put a number of conversations with Fire and County officials and public obedience times. Several agencies involved in the fire have declined to discuss it, including the Los Angeles Department of Fire, Caloes, Sierra Madre Fire of the Pasadena fire department.

During 7 listening time, citizens also told the instructions that their orders were accidentally delayed. “None of us absolutely receives warnings,” said one woman.

Some citizens say that the outgoing report is not to answer why.

“It is soft,” said Shawna Dawson a beer, who lost her house in northwestern Alwestena. “Anyone who lives in the community, there is nothing when we don’t know.”

“I would like to be a real investigation in what happened out to get ready,” Add.

Several suggestions on this report are described in the same report following the deadly woolsey fire in 2019, but it seems that we did not be used.

The report also reviews the County response to Palisades fire, but he painted a delicious comparison between the mountains of Santa Monica and Altadena. While the Palisades fire grew under the same disastrous spirit, the report found officials and made a few misteps for a few mistues because the “alignment” program, priorities and opt-out strategies. “

Lindse Horvath manager, in his district includes patalades, said the report showed “when we fell from the January of the wild and where we should do better.”
