Please try to keep these forums focused. Facebook is for trash talking-pun intended.

Let’s keep the posts on topic and leave this forum to discussion about the FIRE. The off topic content has been out of control lately.

isnt this the Q and A part of the incident?

You allow posts to remain that say the city could be sued because of lack of adequate fire protection but remove my post explaining that there is no mandate for fire protection? There is nobody to sue.

Yeah I’m confused as well. Discussing cause and origin and initial response seems like it would be on topic.

You guys may have missed some of the discourse, it was headed in an unproductive direction. Some well intentioned posts may have gotten caught in the crossfire and deleted. This should be questions and discussion about the fire activity and intel relating to current actions. When things get off into the weeds about cause and Fire protection responsibility, it causes replies to get opinionated and very off topic. It has happened in the past, and a new sub thread has been created to discuss that particular aspect of the incident.
