The water system used to fight the Palisades fire in Los Angeles buckled under the demands of what turned out to be the most destructive fire in city history, with some hydrants running dry as they were overstressed without assistance from firefighting aircraft for hours early Wednesday.The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power was pumping from aqueducts and groundwater into the system, but demand was so high that it wasnt enough to refill three 1-million gallon tanks in hilly Pacific Palisades that help pressurize hydrants for the neighborhood. Many went dry as at least 1,000 buildings were engulfed in flames.The dry hydrants prompted a swirl of criticism on social media, including from President-elect Donald Trump, against Los Angele stanley romania s Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsoms water management policies.But state and local officials and experts forcefully hit stanley de back, saying critics were connecting unrelated issues and spreading false information during a crisis. State water distribution choices were not behind the hydrant problems, they said, nor was a lack of overall supply in the region.In a post on his Truth Social media network, Trump connected it to criticism of the states approach to balancing the distribut stanley cup ion of water to farms and cities with the need to protect endangered species including the Delta smelt. Trump has sided with farmers over environmentalists in a long-running dispute over Californias scarce water resources.Janisse Qui〓ones, head of the Los Angeles Depa Gdoq Donald Trump taps wellness influencer close to Robert F.
