MellowKAT - Why dod the State of Texas try to deploy water rescue teams on July 2nd, TWO DAYS BEFORE the water even began to rise?
“It brings the Austin Firefighters no pleasure to report to the community that the Austin Fire Chief DENIED the deployment of Austin firefighters to Kerrville until very late into the event (so today!), with the exception of only 3 AFD rescue swimmers who helped staff helo teams (which still were NOT deployed until the afternoon of the 4th).
The Austin Firefighter Special Operations teams are specially trained for Hill Country swift water rescue and are some of the best, if not the best, swift water boat teams in the State of Texas.
It is absolutely outrageous that the Austin Fire Chief, Joel G. Baker, would not allow highly trained firefighters from Austin to respond to Kerrville. Because of this egregious dereliction of duty, LIVES WERE VERY LIKELY LOST BECAUSE OF CHIEF BAKER’S DECISION!
Deployment orders came down from the State of Texas on July 2. We would've been pre-deployed before the waters even began to rise!
It is unforgivable that a fire chief would NOT allow his firefighters to answer the call to save lives.
Why would Fire Chief Joel G. Baker do this, you may ask? It was a misguided attempt to save money. I say “misguided” because the fire department is fully reimbursed by the state to deploy. I explained the reimbursement process to Chief Baker last week, and he failed to understand this very simple concept.
We are disgusted with our fire chief. He needs to be held accountable and fired for his disgraceful dereliction of duty.
The Austin Firefighters are starting a vote of no confidence on Tuesday on the fire chief.
As disgusted as we are at our Austin Fire Department leadership, the Austin Firefighters Association made a decision to not air our dirty laundry while victims and bodies were still being recovered. But it's now July 7, and it's time that we hold accountable our disgraced fire chief, AND anybody else in his leadership circle who are responsible for this horrendous act.
The Austin Firefighters commit to being transparent to the community about this process to remove our fire chief and hold all of those accountable who were part of this atrocity.
The firefighters hope we have your support, because it's going to get ugly.
I can't possibly express to you how outraged and sickened the firefighters are that we were not allowed to do the job—the job that we have trained so hard and long to do—during the historic floods that just occurred in Kerrville. We could've made a difference, and we were forced to stand down and lives were lost.
The community deserves a fire chief who cares about the community as much as our firefighters, and that is simply not the case. Joel G. Baker must go!

This is so evil. Trying to play God… what could possibly go wrong?!? Thank you Paul for being on this. I have seen this going on recently in Vermont in the last couple months and it infuriates me. I’ll always take lots of photos and videos to document it (twice so far… but I’m on it!)
99% chance these clowns “unfucking the world” will never face any real scrutiny or investigations over this. Being cozy with the deep state and pushing their climate agenda horseshit has great perks.
Thank you for reporting on something so many of us are tired of pretending isn’t happening. The marriage of governments and corporations has led to disasters in health, food, ecosystems, and the environment - a fact most Americans are clearly aware of now and explains why so many lobbied for RFK to get in the HHS - yet they still deny their Frankenstein machinations to control the natural world.
It’s quite possible. They need to knock it off, quit playing God. One of the Grandmother/Grandfather and their grandchildren swept away, is a co worker’s parents and nieces. Awful.

Unfortunately, regardless of what we (the little guys) say or do, it seems as though the psychopaths are in control at this time!

The casual arrogance of these misanthropes is breathtaking.
