Los Angeles County Failed to Test Hydrants Days Ago Citing Budget Concerns

So when does someone get indicted?

Or, who will be first?

Fiscal challenges. That’s what happens when Bass cuts the fire department budget by 17 million dollars and at the same time pays 3/4 of a million dollars for a fat lesbian fire cheif.

Not all hydrants are equal.

Color indicates flow and pressure. Water main size has a huge influence on a hydrant’s capacity. Where a hydrant is located also affects its flow.

When there is a huge demand like this, there is always reduced flow and pressure and some hydrants won’t be functional.

Add to that people leaving sprinklers on to protect their property and there may be no pressure or flow.

Add on top of that hundreds of homes burned and their water systems open and it’s game over for water supply.

There doesn’t have to be anything nefarious or negligent for there to be no water. It happens on a lot of fires.

Always trust Democrats to competently fill elected officials’ slots!

Maybe I’m toocynical, but if the hydrants were tested and failed, they wouldn’t be fixed anyway. California is broken.

Meanwhile, Weather Channel shows an apparent corpse.

It’s not everyday that you tune into the weather channel and see a freshly burned human corpse but here we are... 👀

They mentioned that 4 millions gallons of water were filled in the tanks to prepare for the fires. It could be 500 million gallons, and it would have made very little difference.

That being common knowledge, you’d think someone would have contingencies.

Get used to it.

We are going to find a lot more burned alive people before this is all said and done.

And it's going to be LOT harder to cover up than it was in Hawaii fire were a huge number of people “went on vacation” just before the fire and never heard from again. .

Weather Channel now says that wasn’t a person.

!!

Unless it was a Halloween decoration … sure looked like a human skeleton to me.

Of course that’s what they’re going to say.

Cost of testing hydrants -—a few tens of thousands or so, probably.

Current updated insured losses of the fire damage: $50 Billion and going higher.

We had a firefighter using a purse yesterday to put out fires.

Now this!

We have people dumping almond milk to help fight the fires because there’s not enough water available in Los Angeles.

(By the way it takes 1.1 gallons of water to create a single almond and 3 gallons of water for an 8 ounce glass of almond milk.

Maybe if TPTB hadn’t fired 100 firemen for refusing the vax, this task might’ve been handled. Just sayin’...

Agree.

City of Detroit had many square miles of total darkness outside. Thieves had stolen the copper wiring from many hundreds of streetlight poles and transformers and the city didn’t spend the money to replace them. Years later they made projects of doing it and patted themselves on the back for it.

Wow! Biden let slip what happened.

No plan to have, say, generators? Are wildfires not expected??

Amid furore from critics saying that water was unavailable to fire crews, Biden explained that the problems were self-inflicted to avoid further fanning the flames.

‘What I know from talking to the governor, there are concerns out there that there’s also been a water shortage,’ he said in a press briefing Thursday.

‘The fact is the utilities, understandably, shut off power because they are worried the lines that carried energy were going to be blown down and spark additional fires.

‘When it did that, it cut off the ability to generate pumping the water, that’s what caused the lack of water in these hydrants.
