00:00Is there a sense that the authorities are doing enough to protect people's homes?
00:06It all depends on who you speak with.
00:10There are a lot of people who have been critical of public officials, particularly on the right,
00:18public officials in terms of their handling of forestry management and preparing for the
00:24fires.
00:25And then Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles, of course, was in a conference in Africa when
00:33the whole thing broke out.
00:35And so she's been under a critical eye.
00:38So for the most part, yeah, there is a lot of criticism of public officials, and it doesn't
00:45show any signs of letting up.
00:48Another thing they were concerned about is the lack of water, because at one point firefighters
00:52almost ran out of water in fighting the fires.
00:56So we can expect that to continue until they get sort of more of a master plan on how to
01:03deal with future fires.
