Prevention would have been doing the maintenance they were required to do and haven’t properly done in years. That’s not super profitable, though … of course they’re being criticized; the need for *this* kind of prevention is their own doing.

This is like declaring martial law: yeah you restore order, but at what cost? There were a million other ways they could have prepared for this and they choose the cheapest one, motivated by fears that a fire would tank their bankruptcy

The criticism I have seen may not be typical, but it was not so much “don’t do this to prevent fires” as much as “this method is more onerous than it has to be because you failed to take steps and prioritize spending over the last two years”
