Original Note:
In 2022, LA donated equipment due to expire and be replaced like hoses, helmets and nozzles that were sitting in a warehouse. Kerns donated a retired fire truck in 2024. None of this equipment could have been used to fight this fire due to code. https://united24media.com/latest-news/did-aid-to-ukraine-really-cause-la-fire-crisis-4981 https://thepostmillennial.com/la-gave-away-surplus-fire-fighting-equipment-to-ukraine-in-2022 https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/la-to-donate-526-surplus-lapd-ballistic-helmets-and-378-vests-to-ukraine/2864238/
