[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Facts: https://gavinnewsom.com/california-fire-facts/ [/quote] Some of these “facts” are Newsom trying to look better and are disputed. This is a complex issue and California has not done everything they could to prevent it. Hindsight is also 20/20. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025/01/11/la-fires-unprepared-palisades-altadena-california/ “After the fire began, some Palisades residents and local leaders expressed outrage when they learned that a large reservoir supplying water to local hydrants had been out of commission. On Friday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) ordered an investigation into the loss of water pressure to fire hydrants and the reservoir’s closure. “We need answers to how that happened,” he wrote in a letter to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and L.A. County Public Works. The 117 million-gallon Santa Ynez reservoir had been closed for months to repair its cover, said Marty Adams, former general manager and chief engineer at the LADWP, which runs the reservoir and water system. The reservoir is one of several operated by the department across L.A., with a combined capacity of more than 4.1 billion gallons. Santa Ynez is among several local water sources, including Stone Canyon Reservoir, which was open at the time of the fire, and Palisades Reservoir, which was closed and had been off and on for years, Adams said. LADWP officials have said that demand for water in the Pacific Palisades quadrupled during the fire, dropping water pressure and leaving hydrants empty.”[/quote]
