Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has rejected assistance from one of the country’s more prominent fire departments despite the city grappling with an ongoing shortage of firefighters to battle the wildfires still raging across the city, burning iconic buildings, restaurants, and residents’ homes. As the blazes continue to threaten homes and communities, many question the decision to turn down additional help, especially from one of the country’s most renowned fire departments. With local resources stretched thin, the rejection has sparked frustration among residents and critics who argue that every available hand is needed to contain the disaster.
As officials in the area struggled to contain, Bass refused to accept help from the Fire Department of New York (FDNY). JetBlue Airlines even agreed to pay for the firefighters’ fares to Los Angeles. However, New York City Fire Commissioner Robert Tucker confirmed that the Democrat mayor has yet to call in assistance. A source suggested that Bass may have hesitated to accept help from the FDNY, noting that fighting wildfires is “a whole different beast” that demands specialized training, unlike the more conventional building fires the department typically handles. Still, as the wildfires ravage the city, Los Angeles could use all the help it can get.
LA Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said the city’s 29 fire departments were not equipped to handle “this kind of widespread disaster.”
“There are not enough firefighters in LA County to address four separate fires of this magnitude,” he said. “The LA County fire department was prepared for one or two major brush fires, but not four, especially given these sustained winds and low humidities.”
Meanwhile, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) accepted help from Mexico, which is sending crews to help contain the Eaton Fire. […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
