## Resource

A leaked letter, purportedly written “on behalf of the nineteen deceased” from the Eaton Fire, is igniting controversy by accusing the Office of Emergency Management of systemic failures that doomed victims during the disaster. The letter details years of neglect—poor planning, inadequate training, and leadership prioritizing other matters over readiness—and condemns the official post-fire report as incomplete and unjust. Internal sources reportedly back the letter’s claims, with many saying it’s 90-100% accurate, suggesting it likely came from within the agency. It also calls for an independent review of leadership before any new resources are allocated, and includes a shocking allegation that a key former responder was asleep on duty during the fire. The letter’s courage and specificity have drawn widespread attention and renewed calls for accountability. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
