Correct. they have to do with saving homes AND LIVES from wildfires. How do empty hydrants do that ? You don’t get it at all,?
2020 prop 1 in Cali ..one billion to build water reservoirs and nothing has been done. As an example. You should read the comments from ACTUAL VICTIMS OF THESE FIRES AND SEE WHY THEY ARE COMPLAINING AND WHO THEY ARE BLAMING .

True enough rick, fire hydrants save homes in cities and suburbs. In this case the hydrants were dry due to infrastructure being inadequate. Watersheds in northern CA do not share water to so-cal. That water comes from eastern sierra and Colorado rivers. It literally has nothing to do with the important work of saving native fish from extinction due to misuse of water resources. Being a nor-cal native i have lived with wildfires my entire life and around here there are no hydrants in sight. That is for the city folks. Wildfires are primarily burning in forests far away from the hydrants. If they become strong enough to break into the urban interface they are generally beyond hydrants. There is a bigger picture here than political fact spinning.
The problem with politics here in this case is what happened just prior to this fire where apparently Newsome cut the budget by 100000,000 and the mayor of LA cut the firefighting budget by 17 million and the fire chief wrote a letter in November stating that under these conditions if there is a major fire, they won’t be able to handle it and now the fire chief is yelling and screaming at the top of her lungs only to be stifle by the mayor and maybe even fired I don’t like the political blame game but in this case wrong place wrong time.
Yes, and one of the problems is when you have a configuration like this you open up in Northern Cal to help the people in southern Cal. It’s one state not two different states. I’m not sure if that’s structurally feasible, but it should be.
Sean, the reservoirs were full in Northern California and Residence saw firefighters opened the valves of the fire hydrants to save their homes and there was nothing and now it’s just been discovered that apparently there was a big reservoir above Pacific Palisades that was drained a few months ago before the fire I’m not sure if that’s true but I’m gonna send you a link. I don’t agree with the assertions made but some of the facts if they’re true or actually scary. https://t.co/RVTZpU0pW5
Again, I think this video is over the top but again I’m gonna start checking the facts and if this is true, it’s horrific.
I have posted here before that back in 2020 I believe or even earlier $1 billion was set aside for to build two reservoirs in order to mitigate the vast damage that has happened this time and the money still sitting there. Nothing has been done
I also posted a little while ago a link to the history of California fires which have been happening since the mid 1800’s. There is a map that shows how many fires so this is historic incompetence not just on this administration, but in the entire state and federal government.
