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

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.

The 9/11 Commission artfully phrased how the attacks were able to be successful as "a failure of the imagination".

I've long said that every community needs a Fire Chief whom everybody else

"...wasn't something we could ever imagine"?! Dude! It was your JOB to
imagine this, or worse. It was your JOB to go around looking for problems
and telling everybody until they were sick of hearing from you (or until
they fixed it).

It's the job of the kind of Fire Chief you want to have to expect the worst,
look for where it can come from, imagine the unimaginable, etc.

Have I gotten the point across yet?
