Quiñones said much the same thing, explaining that the three massive storage tanks help with water pressure coming from the hydrants and that because so much water was being used at lower elevations, the tanks at higher elevations were not able to fill fast enough.
“The consumption of water was faster than we can provide water in the trunk line,” she said.
Some, like real-estate developer and former L.A. mayoral candidate Rick Caruso, were quick to criticize LAWDP leaders.

The Democrats and the Left own this disaster.
1. Improper wildfire prevention due to environmental laws, bureaucracy, lawsuits, and judges.
2. A clueless mayor who was out of the country on a trip during the crisis.
3. A DEI chief more concerned about hiring homosexuals than fighting fires.
4. The firing of firefighters because they would not get the ineffective and experimental Covid gene therapy.
5. Insufficient water in the fire hydrants to fight widespread wildfires.
6. Cuts to the firefighting budget.
