Getty Villa is reported on fire per radio traffic. #PalisadesFire #CAwx #wildfires
@ai6yr Oh no! I'm saddened to read that.
@ai6yr gah this would be a loss
@ai6yr interesting to hear on broadcastify
a private home protection company ask LAFD commander for more protection for the house next door to the one they are protecting. Command did not respond after asking who he was with and he said private.#palisadefire

@jberry @ai6yr always life safety first. That's sometimes why the private protection resources are so annoying. They are trying to save homes while the team is trying to save lives.

Also: breaks unified command.

@bud_t @ai6yr I could tell as soon as he chimed in he wasn’t official. Didn’t know how to address commanding officer. Was vague like he didn’t know what to say.
Was strange to hear
@jberry @ai6yr we had an insurance resource (private engine) on the last fire I was on. They showed up at ICP one day at end of shift and wanted food, batteries, and asked us to program their radios. The IC was like "no way- if you weren't ordered by the fire, you're not here"
@jberry @ai6yr
which also begs the question... what the hell are they doing on the fire departments command channel to begin with?
@ai6yr NO!
Getty Villa Museum Grounds Burned in Palisades Fire

The galleries and library archives on-site were sealed off from smoke and “remain safe” 

TheWrap
@jeridansky I was reading that earlier. Thanks! So fascinating the stuff they have in place to seal off the artwork from smoke damage etc.
@ai6yr The Getty Museum has extensive fire protections for its collections. It has withstood being overrun in a wildfire before. I hope the Villa has similar protections in place.
@ai6yr My daughter just received reassurance that it was just some vegetation on fire around the Villa.

@volvodadfast @ai6yr

Per Guardian:
“Additional fire prevention measures in place at the villa include water storage on-site. Irrigation was immediately deployed throughout the grounds Tuesday morning. Museum galleries and library archives were sealed off from smoke by state-of-the-art air handling systems. The double-walled construction of the galleries also provides significant protection for the collections.”

@volvodadfast @ai6yr

Katherine E Fleming, president and CEO of the J Paul Getty Trust, said the museum is closed to non-emergency staff and will remain closed at least through 13 January.

@volvodadfast @ai6yr

"At this time, it’s not clear whether any structures have caught fire, but officials confirmed the grounds were on fire and that flames were approaching the museum buildings."
@darwinwoodka @ai6yr My daughter who is an intern at the Villa said they were testing fire alarms there this morning. She left when the fire was only 10 acres.
@ai6yr How are you accessing the radio traffic?
Should I just hop on Broadcastify and search?
