Part 8/10:
Steinfeld expresses frustration with local government responses and resource allocation, criticizing the lack of proactive measures to prevent fires or contain them early. He draws parallels between the fire response and political oversight, emphasizing that often, efforts are reactionary rather than preventative.
He advocates for a common-sense approach: better planning, faster action, and less bureaucratic delay. He points out that lessons from past fires and tragedies must inform future policies to protect vulnerable communities.
