Scary.

What a waste of resources, I know why they did it so when they go to the board and ask for money, they can go, see, see this is why. Anything to justify their budget increase. This was a defensive Fire, and only a small number of trucks can get close enough to put water on the fire. It’s reported that 150 firefighters responded to the scene. That sounds about right at eight alarms. No one was making an interior attack, what was the rest of the firefighters doing this whole time? This was a deck gun, aerial ladder, water fight. Even the Santana Row fire didn’t even get to 8 alarms, and it had more exposure problems than this one. San Mateo county sure likes spending our money, and they do it, knowing no one will say anything about it.
