What was said
"Mayor Bass, you never called in fixed air wing support. She never did. You know why? She was in Africa. And you know who was supposed to do it? Her deputy mayor, but he was on house arrest."
Pratt revealed that during the catastrophic Palisades fire, Mayor Karen Bass never requested fixed-wing aircraft support because she was traveling in Africa, and her deputy mayor responsible for the call was on house arrest. U.S. Forest Service Chief Bobby Garcia confirmed to Pratt that the initial fire wasn't properly contained on both sides as protocol requires. LA County, Cal Fire, and US Forest Service ultimately responded without city coordination.
