This might speak to typical attitudes that wildland firefighter and civilian casualties are just ‘the cost of doing business’ for the political National Conventions, might not.

#NationalFireNews: As of today, July 10, the National #PreparednessLevel has increased to PL4.
Significant wildland fire activity continues to increase in several Geographic Areas. The potential for additional large wildland fires to emerge based upon the forecast from Predictive Services over the next several days is high.
The National Interagency Coordination Center has had to increasingly engage with Geographic Area Coordination Centers to coordinate and fill orders for all National Resource types daily. Drawdown of multiple resource types on less active Geographic Areas is occurring and will pose a challenge if existing fuel and fire weather conditions change.

Disabled people regularly get left behind during all sorts of emergencies. In school settings, students with disabilities are frequently left inside classrooms during fire-related evacuations. Similarly, all three aspects of the “Run, Hide, Fight” strategy used during active shooter drills can be difficult for many disabled students to perform without assistance. This neglect exists beyond classrooms. During 9/11, even though most of those working below the impacted floors survived, disabled occupants were the notable exception. The country saw a similar situation play out just months ago during the January 6 Capitol riots when Senator Tammy Duckworth, a wheelchair user, faced difficulty evacuating due to inaccessibility.
