Water is one of the greatest tools in firefighters’ arsenal as they fight to save homes and lives. But as crews battled the Palisades Fire, they were hampered by low water pressure and fire hydrants going completely dry.
Governor Gavin Newsom has ordered an investigation into how to prevent this from happening again.
L.A. Times reporter Matt Hamilton joined Lisa McRee to explain how this happened and why a key reservoir was left empty before the fires broke out.
