"Governor Gavin Newscum [sic] refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him... to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way."
"No such water restoration declaration exists, but Governor Newsom's water management policies have become a flashpoint for conservative ire after news broke that the hydrants being used to fight the Pacific Palisades fire had run dry."
"According to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, firefighters' need for water at lower elevations had depleted the storage tanks, causing a drop in pressure that prevented water from traveling to hydrants uphill in the Palisades."
"As the climate crisis worsens, it's expected to exacerbate heat waves and droughts, bringing water shortages and increasingly devastating fires like those currently scorching southern California."
