As many Democrats seek to use the California wildfires to push their “climate change” agenda, the Los Angeles Fire Department and locals say the city and state should instead prioritize saving as many lives and as much property as possible.
“For us, it doesn’t get very political at all,” Los Angeles County Fire Department Public Information Officer Marco Rodriguez told The Daily Signal.
Wildfires have ravaged Southern California since last Tuesday, forcing more than 150,000 residents to evacuate. As of Monday morning Pacific Time, the death toll from the fires had risen to 25, The Los Angeles Times reported.
Some Democrats have been quick to blame the historically destructive wildfires on climate change. Firefighters, however, say their focus is on containment, public safety, and salvaging property.
