Reporter to L.A. Mayor Karen Bass: ‘What Explains this Lack of Preparation and Rapid Response?’

EXCERPT:

VIGLIOTTI: “Shortly after the fire started, a press release was put out warning of this fire behavior. My question to you is, what explains this lack of preparation and rapid response?”

BASS: “Let me just say, first and foremost, my number one focus, and I think the focus of all of us here with one voice, is that we have to protect lives. We have to save lives. And we have to save homes.”
