While most of the Pacific Palisades has been reduced to ash and rubble after it was caught in the path of the devastating California wildfires, the iconic Getty Museum is still standing after implementing a simple routine.
The museum’s successful efforts to keep the fire at bay begs the question: why didn’t Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass use similar tactics to protect homes and land?

Sounds like the Getty Museum leadership had their game plan and worked it.
All the politicians and bureaucrats are scrambling to blame someone else. Just once, I’d like someone stand up and say: “I made a mistake but we will not make that one again.” Maybe they won’t get praised for the mistake, but they can serve as an object lesson.
The Getty Museum team demonstrated that if you do the job, excuses are not needed.
Impressive. Easy to succumb to complacency until it’s too late. Wonder if any lessons are being learned anywhere else?
Old maxim is: “You don’t have to pay for EVERY lesson yourself. You are allowed to learn from the mistakes of others.”
