A #PacificPalisades man, whose wife called 911 right after fire broke out, captured video he says shows firefighters were delayed in responding. He tells NewsNation's @richmchugh it was the worst response he's seen in decades. #LAfires --------------------- A Pacific Palisades resident says the fire that ravaged his neighborhood could have been far less devastating. Michel Valentine, a former U.S. attorney for Vice President Kamala Harris, spoke exclusively to NewsNation about watching the fire unfold in Pacific Palisades and what he believes was an inadequate response time. Valentine, a resident from high up in the Palisades, watched this unfold from his home and began recording last Tuesday morning. His wife was walking their dog and called at 10:29 a.m. last Tuesday after first seeing smoke in the area. Forty-four minutes later, a helicopter first dumped water on the fire.
