Wait until we get slammed with a good storm. My guarantee is the JEA will totally be embarrassed by its inability to keep up with the power outages and water losses. The JEA will be begging for help from just about anyone. Yet again, in the past few weeks we have been witness to a JEA that is obviously lacking in top flight leadership and direction. They are concerned about their safety.
Some neighbors say they are speaking out now before it's too late.
They say that with dry conditions feeding more and more wildfires, the danger becomes a reality sparking fears in their community. When firefighters battle a blaze, fire hydrants are usually found in nearby neighborhoods to protect families from becoming a victim. But, Ernest Clayton says that is not the case in his Westside community. Also, in the Ortega Hills Community, no fire hydrants. Residents believe they have a valid argument since more than 500 families live with absolutely no defense against wildfires or any other kind of fire.
