“After discovering that the Pacific Palisades Reservoir was bone dry and the fire hydrant systems had ran out of water at the beginning of the LA fires, I am calling on San Diego County officials to conduct an immediate situation assessment of the county’s water storage and fire hydrant systems.” – CA State Representative Carl DeMaio
Assemblyman Carl DeMaio (R-San Diego) today sent a letter to the Director of the San Diego County Office of Emergency Services (OES) asking for a situation assessment of water storage and fire hydrant systems within San Diego County. In the wake of the LA fires, allegations have been made that the lack of water in reservoirs and the hydrant system were a major reason the fires grew so quickly.
“After discovering that the Pacific Palisades Reservoir was bone dry and the fire hydrant systems had ran out of water at the beginning of the LA fires, I am calling on San Diego County officials to conduct an immediate situation assessment of the county’s water storage and fire hydrant systems.” states DeMaio.
DeMaio is available by phone or zoom for interviews – or in-person at the State Capitol.
