Given the cuts in the firefighting budget, was there a plan to
pre-deploy men and equipment during fire season that the mayor's office
overrode?

I've also read that a great deal of firefighting vehicles and apparatus
were out of repair. Was that the fault of the fire chief or the mayor's
office?

My guess is this is buck passing.
