are they complaining? No. So you have no point at all.Right, ask Japan and Germany about that! We still have not left almost 80 years later.

It is true that their slow pace in covering bare wires caused the fire; but they are also correct that the damage and deaths would not have been so bad if pretty much every official and government organization screwed the pooch in fighting it.Hawaii power utility takes responsibility for first fire on Maui, but faults county firefighters

It's becoming a finger-pointing Extravaganza...It is true that their slow pace in covering bare wires caused the fire; but they are also correct that the damage and deaths would not have been so bad if pretty much every official and government organization screwed the pooch in fighting it.
This is all postering for the inevitable court proceedings that will be going on for years.
Something stinks in Maui and it wasn’t the smoke. I would like to believe it was just ineptitude, but……...
Unfortunately, it was ineptitude but only in the sense that this was an unprecedented event.Something stinks in Maui and it wasn’t the smoke. I would like to believe it was just ineptitude, but……...
BS. Government screwed the pooch and that is that. Make all the excuses you want. They are supposed to be ready for all types of disasters from hurricanes to fire to volcanos and they were not.Unfortunately, it was ineptitude but only in the sense that this was an unprecedented event.

Sure it was not because some tree huggers would not let them do anything? We are talking Kalifornia here....A Side Note:

The Department of Justice is seeking damages for one of the largest wildfires that's ever burned in Los Angeles County.
In a complaint filed on Friday, federal prosecutors allege the Bobcat Fire, which burned over 114,500 acres in 2020, was caused by the negligence of utility company Southern California Edison and its tree maintenance contractor, Utility Tree Service.
The lawsuit alleges the two companies failed to properly maintain trees that came into contact with powerlines.
Forest Service investigators determined the Bobcat Fire ignited on Sept. 6, 2020, within the Angeles National Forest when a tree came in contact with a power line owned by Southern California Edison and maintained by both the utility company and Utility Tree Service, according to the complaint.
The lawsuit alleges the two companies knew of the danger posed by the tree but "failed to take any action."
