The Wolf of Los Angeles - Chapter 324
Chapter 324 It’s so amazing, we saved the dog and the flag
The strong wind blew, and the stars and stripes were rushing on the not-so-high flagpole.
Below, the fire burned over and the flag would be burned at any time.
A little border herder ran out from somewhere and barked at the place where the fire started.
From last night to now, Director Karen Crowley has realized the reality. Most of the female firefighters recruited are useless. It is difficult for such a violent fire scene to play a role.
But as a female social activist, she will not give up easily, nor will she give up the banner of feminism.
Karen called the most reliable team among all the female firefighters, pointed to the Stars and Stripes, and said to the captain Leia: “Take your people over and save the Stars and Stripes and the little border herder, go quickly!”
Leia nodded, called the team members, put on a gas mask, lifted the fire extinguisher, and rushed towards the flagpole.
The six people cooperated with each other, and the four people opened the way in front, used fire extinguishers to eliminate sporadic sparks, covered Leia rushing to the flagpole, and untied the star-stripe flag that was burned through more than a dozen holes by flying Mars.
Another man picked up the little border herder and kept comforting the dog.
The team rushed out of the fire and came back.
Other female firefighters gathered on both sides of the road and applauded as they watched the rescued female heroes.
In front of the cameras of the Los Angeles Times and NBC reporters, Director Karen Crowley came forward to greet him personally, hugging Leia, and ordered: “Everyone took off their gas masks and turned their heads to the left.”
The six-member team led by Leia took off their gas masks and looked at the media camera, calmly.
Kelly guided the squad to the female fire truck and pulled open the damaged star-stripe banner with Leia, showing the greatness of the female firefighters.
The female firefighter holding the little border herder came over and squatted in front of the Stars and Stripes.
The flash lights were on and reporters took photos one after another.
These blue-oriented media reporters applauded them one by one, as if this group of people had done something very amazing.
A reporter from Fox TV, as well as a few people including Garcia, were silently recording all this with cameras and cameras.
“Good job!” The members of the feminist organization who were ready next to him rushed up to praise: “You are the best, you are heroes, you are veritable saviors!”‘
More than one place in Los Angeles caught fire. Director Karen got in the car and left, and handed it over to Leia and others.
For a moment, the atmosphere was warm, and even those Hollywood stars who were good at acting were embarrassed to stumble on the ground.
Just then, a Cherokee rushed out of the area where the flames were ignited.
Accompanied by the sound of emergency brakes, the car stopped near the fire truck.
A 16-year-old blonde girl jumped out of the passenger seat, but Ashley, the boss of the Olsen sisters.
She was extremely panicked and rushed to the media camera, rushed to Captain Leia, and said, “My sister, my sister Elizabeth is trapped in the house by fire. Please go and save people quickly!”
Mary, who came out of the driver’s seat, burst into tears: “Save people, save people quickly!”
Leia and the other female team members looked at each other and looked at the burning house in the distance. No one answered and remained silent.
Ashley was so anxious that she burst into tears, but the girl was knowledgeable and calm in the face of danger at the critical moment. She shouted, “Who will help us save people? Give us $200,000.”
The women still haven’t moved. They want to make the money, but what can they do if they rush in and find someone? Let them carry someone out? What a joke under such harsh conditions?
But the three male firefighters stood up and rushed into the fire after simple preparation.
In another fire scene, facing the fierce fire and strong convective wind, the fire department could only retreat regardless of men and women.
Harley Wayne, a female reporter from Fox TV, sneaked up with Karen, the fire chief who had just arrived and asked loudly: “Don’t the fire department have firefighting planes and fire-fighting helicopters?”
Karen turned his head and stared at the woman with blonde hair and gray face, his eyes cold.
…
The fire triggered changes in airflow and winds in northern Los Angeles continued to increase.
All the hills of Hollywood Hills were emitting flames. The fire burned across the hills of Lishan and rushed down. The huge “Hollywood” sign was burned black by fireworks. In the continuous burning, some letters collapsed with a bang.
Fire Department, on the helicopter apron behind the office building.
Susan carried a briefcase and followed Deputy Director Michel out of the office building.
The two entered the hangar and met Alves, the captain of the helicopter firefighting team.
Michelle asked, “When will the plane be repaired?”
Alves did not have a good face for these women who robbed maintenance funds and some welfare benefits, but the situation is critical now. He did not get entangled in this regard. He pointed to the two helicopters and said, “The engines of the No. 1 and No. 2 have problems with the transmission shaft of the spiral machine. At the end of last year, I applied for funding, but was suppressed by the city hall, which caused the plane to not be repaired and maintained.”
Michelle’s face was also ugly, thinking that the other party’s words were targeting them.
Alves told the truth: “Let these two planes be dispatched to the death of the pilots and supporting personnel. If a crash occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
He pointed to the No. 3 aircraft and said, “This one was a small problem, but the maintenance funding was not in place for a long time, and it became a big problem. The corresponding screw accessories…” Michelle said, “I will give a special fee.”
“It will take at least one week from ordering to repairing,” Alves said.
Michelle had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.
Susan continues to film everything that happened while acting as an opponent.
Compared to the fire department when I first joined the company, there is only a mess of chaos now.
Compared to the director who ran to the front line to play various feminist and media shows, Michelle, the deputy director, did his best to perform his duties, and she contacted the Fire Department’s only fixed-wing firefighting aircraft.
In an airport in the suburbs of Los Angeles, two fixed-wing aircraft parked here belong to the Fire Department, one is under maintenance for years, and the other can perform tasks.
Pilots and pilots tested the aircraft, and ground crews loaded flame retardant purchased from India into the belly.
Before dark, the plane took off smoothly and followed Michelle’s command to the nearest Hollywood Mountain Fire.
The pilot worked in the fire department for more than 15 years and has rich experience. Although he did not dare to get too close to the fire due to strong winds and smoke, he soon found a combination of wildfires and residential areas.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
It was confirmed that the crowd on the ground had been evacuated, and the pilot flew the plane over the air and opened the delivery port.
The red flame retardant fell down, and along the path of the plane passing, it seemed like a red rainstorm.
The flame retardant fell on the ground, which did slightly block the fire at the beginning, but the next moment the flames soared into the air and the fire burned more vigorously than before.
The plane flew back from the mountain, and the flame retardant fell from the mountain to the residential community.
The fire burned along the line where the flame retardant fell and towards the community house. The wooden house was ignited by a large area and the fire quickly lost control.
“God, what did I do?” The pilot was stunned.
But he quickly reacted and immediately shouted to the radio: “There is a problem with the flame retardant purchased from India, and the flame retardant purchased from India is a problem, don’t use it again!”
This is not a flame retardant, it is clearly a combustion aid!
The news reached the fire department and Michelle called to question the Indian company.
The Indian company conducted an internal investigation and concluded that when shipped, workers might load the fuel aid as a flame retardant.
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be publicized to the outside world, and the Indians will not admit it even if they beat him to death.
By the time it was dark, the wind became stronger and the fire was truly out of control. More than a dozen communities located in the north of Santa Monica Mountain, on the east and west sides of Malibu Mountain and around the Hollywood Mountain were all facing direct threats from the fire.
Because three female senior executives at the Fire Department were confident and lacked professional responses at the beginning, Antonio, who was far away in Asia, always believed that the fire was completely controllable.
After all, wildfires are too common for Los Angeles.
The flames burned into multiple communities and more than 2,000 people were evacuated urgently.
The editorial department of the Twitter building worked overtime tonight, and news about the Los Angeles forest fire continued to be released.
On the platform at the highest point of the roof, Hawke and Edward raised their telescopes to observe the situation on Santa Monica to the south.
The night sky in the north has completely turned red.
Hawke put down his telescope and asked, “What’s the reaction over Compton?”
Edward contacted Michael more than ten minutes ago: “Many people heard that some communities are evacuating and have been dispatched overnight. This is the best time to purchase goods for free!”
He laughed and said, “Da Chou just called, and many homeless people in the Hollywood area have gone to the neighborhood of the Hollywood Hills.”
Hawke exclaimed, “You are so skilled in your business.”
Edward thought for a while and said, “In every event like this, there are many people dispatched, but there are few channels for purchasing goods.”
“I believe in their talent, they have no purchasing channels, and they will create their own purchasing channels,” Hawke said.
Edward nodded: “Please trust my fellow blacks in this regard, they have outstanding talents and amazing creativity.”
Hawke returned to his office and spoke to Campos to learn more about the current situation.
The fire department fired a large number of male season firefighters, recruited 35% of female firefighters, replaced the three most important leaders with women, and reduced the welfare benefits of male firefighters. Coupled with the negative impact of the 911 firefighter incident and the critical water shortage, the fire is out of control.
Before Hawke could finish his phone call, Brian rushed over.
He entered the office, waited for Hawke to hang up the phone, and said, “Are you going to move forward with the second step now?”
“The fire scene range is not large enough, at least it has to wait for the overburning area to exceed 150 square kilometers,” Hawke said.
Brian calculated and said, “This is not easy.”
Hawke’s goal is to burn at least 300 square kilometers.
