So...did Bass reduce tye fire department budget or not? That seems like something the author of this article could have found out and actually told us...you know, instead of just quoting the mayor's denial.
Gd is basic investigative journalism dead?
Scapegoat bs. The Chief has no say in budget that would make or break the pumping power of hydrants. No city in the U.S. has a system that could have handled the water pressure needed. The city council and the mayor are the ones who determine what is funded, and didn't upgrade their system.
there's no getting around the amount of fire engines stood down during a santa ana week after a no rain year, and there's no getting around the Santa Ynez Reservoir being our of service for maintenance and repair during fire season
