Inaccessible? (part 2)
The Station Fire review said that the fire could not be fought in the first days because the terrain is "inaccessible", and that air support would have done no good. I have shown here that it is not inaccessible, and I have posted video of crews hiking a comparable ridgeline in subsequent days. There is an outside review of the fire pending which, I am sure, will take into consideration the two LA County firefighters who died in the Station Fire.
