Firemen: We Ran Out of Water Early in the #Palisadesfire Fire. We could Have Saved More Homes With More Water

Could firefighters have saved more homes? The men on the fire lines say with more water, yes they could have.

As the Palisades Fire is more and more contained, the obvious questions arising are; Could firefighters have saved more homes? Over 5000 structures were lost in the fire, including about 85% of homes in Pacific Palisades.

"I interviewed a Los Angeles firefighter with 20+ years of service. The truths I found are harrowing." tweeted Avery Warwick

"Gavin Newsom ordered the removal of Elon Musk from the command post where he had been live streaming. Newsom also ordered the Cal Fire firefighters to return all donated Starlink internet access devices."

The firefighters ran out of water in the palisades. "We could have saved more homes if we had more water", he said.

The fire department was not consulted on the draining of the Santa Ynez reservoir in Pacific Palisades. There were insufficient hydrants in the palisades..too far apart, and the incorrect diameter for sufficient water flow.
