Yeah, I'm sure the homemade wiring was just as shabby in the early and mid-2000s when the firemen were there. If it's getting cited now, it should have been then, too.
Not to mention that according to the neighbors the fires they reported were in the secret backyard, so if the firemen are there to put them out...how did they not see all the tents and other signs that people, children even, were living back there? The officer who responded to the 2006 911 call said tents would be a code violation. Why wasn't Garrido cited by the firemen for those, at least?
