We may have crossed a threshold now where we need larger measures in order to essentially create a solvent insurance system,

said Michael Wara, director of Stanford’s Climate and Energy Policy program and a consultant to the California Public Utilities Commission on wildfire issues

This is sort of what everybody’s been preparing for,

said Karl Susman, an insurance broker in West Los Angeles who’s filing dozens of claims on behalf of clients

I look at his election as less of a hobble and more of a spur to our efforts,

Commentator Rogan O'Handley, also known as DC Draino, wrote on X

As the fire chief, if confirmed, I vow to take a strategic and balanced approach to ensure we meet the needs of the community we serve. We will focus our efforts on increasing our operational effectiveness, enhancing firefighter safety and well-being, and fully commit to fostering a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture within the LAFD."
