Staggering image of 100 Essential Fire Trucks idling in a Parking Lot Waiting For Repair while Los Angeles apocalyptic fires ravage city killing 24
Staggering images appear to show around 100 fire trucks sitting idly in a Los Angeles repair lot as fires ravage the city.
The pictures, captured by a local activist, shows scores of essential firefighting vehicles sitting in the LA Fire Department's Bureau Of Supply and Maintenance lot on North Avenue 19 in the city's northeast.
LA fire chief Kristin Crowley said in an interview with CNN: 'We have over 100 fire apparatus out of service. Having these apparatus, and the proper amount of mechanics would have helped.'
The LAFD has a total of 183 trucks, meaning that more than half of the city's fire trucks are out of commission as the fires continue to burn through dense urban spaces, killing at least 24, displacing more than 200,000 and destroying over 12,000 buildings.

Apparently some the positions cut was in house mechanics.EXCLUSIVE: Revealed: LA fire Department Begged for $100M to Fix Old Trucks and Replace 16 Axed Positions just Two Months Before Wildfires Took Hold
The Los Angeles Fire Department begged the city's council for nearly $100million to replace its entire fleet just two months before the deadly wildfires, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The infernos that are consuming Los Angeles have so far killed at least 24 and have displaced more than 200,000 people, and critics have been excoriating the city's leadership for their decision to cut the LAFD's already dwindling budget.
In a preliminary budget request for 2025/26, signed by Fire Chief Kristin Rowley, made on October 29, the LAFD asked for $96,535,000 to fund a 'fleet replacement plan'.

Jose Gerardo Escobar attempted to start a fire on January 10th, around 11:30 pm at Pioneer Park near the foothills of Azusa, California.
GPS connected Escobar with the accused propane torch arsonist Juan Manuel Sierra-Leyva in the same immediate vicinity on 11 occasions.
Both men are associated with two foot soldiers of the Sinaloa cartel and a number of border invasion facilitating NGOs.
The corrupt media will drive a narrative that Jose Gerardo Escobar was not connected to the major fires, but that’s only because he got caught.
We also connected a third man who was subsequently arrested in Irwindale, California, on Sunday for arson.
Roughly 16 miles away from Altadena where the deadly Eaton Fire continues to rage.
Firefighters were responding to a small brush fire in Irwindale when they witnessed Ruben Montes, 29, starting blazes in the area, Irwindale police have confirmed he was detained by officers at the scene and ultimately arrested for arson.
