Were the Lahaina fires preventable? The Serious You: How Current Events Affect You
From: WALTER784
Aug-30
Sounds like neglect if you ask me. Whether it was willful or purposeful... hmmmm....
I've seen several home fires and a few rice paddy/vegetable farm fires within a few kilometers of where I live.
During the fire, there are anywhere from 3 ~ over 10 fire trucks on the scene to douse the fire depending on the size of the fire.
But in all instances I've seen, there is always one police car and one fire truck that remains at the scene of the fire for about 45 minutes to an hour after the fire has been doused. All the other fire trucks leave shortly after packing up their hoses. But that one remaining fire truck keeps its hoses deployed in case of a reoccurrence.
If there is still smoke rising, underbrush could still be burning underneath. That last fire truck continues to spray water on the areas where the smoke continues to rise. And even after there is no more smoke rising, they still watch closely for at least 30 minutes or more.

I doubt it was intentional by the entire fire department and there was water during the first fire. What happened to it 8 hrs later? Maybe one person sabotaged it.

Under Biden's admin, intentional by entire fire dept wouldn't surprise me at all. You cannot trust anything any more.
Remember when they said the electric company didn't have a shutdown manual and that caused the fires... now we have this countering that there was no power shutdown.

This guy, 2-bit DaVinchi, is a stickler for detail and looking into and analyzing various things from various different standpoints.
This is what he has to say about the Maui fires.
The Maui Fires - REAL Reason They Happened

That is a good video. He debunks the conspiracies while looking at real reasons it happened. As he says, It was a perfect storm. He mentioned some of what I posted before about stopping sugar cane and pineapple growth. He mentioned that they need to underground power lines. That should be done everywhere and should be paid for by the government. Instead communities tell property owners utilities can only be placed underground if they pay for it themselves. It’s very expensive.

Yes, he's good at logically thinking things through.
He did it with EVs vs Hydrogen based cars, with various other technologies, etc.
He does his homework, looks at all angles and makes his videos.
And, as you said... in the process, he has debunked a lot of the plausible or laughable stories about the fire in the process.

He has numerous videos about numerous topics including nuclear reactors, Oceangate submarine disaster, etc. You can see his youtube channel below about all the videoclips he has posted. He's quite logical and thus hard to debunk or claim false narrative over.
