Fire Recommendations
* As members of the Los Angeles City-County Fire Board of Inquiry in 1971 following the disastrous Malibu fires (to which your Nov. 10 editorial refers), Paul Ziffren and I expressed our concern that the work and recommendations of the board would be ignored, as is often the case with appointed commissions. Our concerns were justified, for many of the board’s worthwhile proposals have been disregarded--to the detriment of our community and the brave firefighters. I hope that the commission proposed by The Times, if formed, follows the lead of the Christopher Commission, which successfully oversaw the implementation of many of its recommendations.
