BREAKING: There was NO WATER FOR THE PALISADES which is renowned for it's many fire hydrants.  They were all DRY!

"Then there are the water issues. Hydrants in Pacific Palisades had little to no water running out of them as the fires began.

By 3am on Wednesday, Janisse Quinones, the chief executive and chief engineer of the LA Department of Water and Power, confirmed all three water storage tanks in the area – each holding about 1 million gallons – had run dry.

Fire hydrants are a feature of the Palisades. They sit on many corners, small and either yellow or red – yet now when I look at them on the streets here they seem a mocking reminder of everything that has gone wrong.

Many of the hydrants I saw had not even been uncapped. The fire brigade had never even attempted to use them."
