No, they were not. Again, nice try.

Did you read the article? The reservoir is closed for repairs - they do the repairs in the winter when demand is lower for water. Even if it was fully functional, the water level is kept low in the reservoirs due to low seasonal demand and not wanting to waste the water. And, finally, the experts in the article state that in their professional opinion it would not have mattered if the reservoir was full because nothing could negate 100mph Santa Ana winds and no aerial support.

This disaster is no individual's fault. It's not the government's fault. It's a collective action problem of building dense housing in a chaparral landscape. [/quote]
