Re: [californiadisasters] San Bruno's Fire Chief Was in Dark About Pipeline

Michael,

Everybody is aware of the shrinking budget issue and nobody is criticizing your agency.
The issue at hand was the fire chief for the City of San Bruno being entirely unaware of a major gas main running right through his jurisdiction. There may be extenuating circumstances to this such as that P.G.& E. had given the SMCo.FD  bad maps of their gas delivery system that omitted the presence of the main or perhaps something else. However, at first glance it does not inspire confidence that the top figure in that department was oblivious to such infrastructure's presence under his very feet.
I'm sorry that you took offense at this but I can assure you none was directed at you or your county.

I usually do not weigh in, however, being involved in this and being my county of operation, I must say we are doing the best we can with shrinking budgets and agency communication issues with pge, whom btw are having internal documentation issues. So I thank you for 20/20 hind sight.
