The Scottish fire and rescue service confirmed that, while standard city-based fire engines were on the scene within minutes of the first 999 call, the nearest available high-reach appliance which adds vital additional capacity to tackle a large blaze came from Coatbridge, an 11-mile (18km), 26-minute drive away in light traffic.

While humans have assembled a lot of weather data, flash floods are too short-lived and localized to be measured comprehensively, the way the temperature or even river flows are monitored over time. That data gap means that deep learning models, which are increasingly capable of forecasting the weather, aren't able to predict flash floods.

McIndoe, a captain at Fire Station 69 in Pacific Palisades, didn't think the plan was a good idea, he said in sworn testimony obtained by The Times.

An announcement on whether New York City schools will close Tuesday will be made later Monday afternoon, Mayor Zorhan Mamdani said in an interview with News 12.
