California Governor Gavin Newsom has initiated an independent investigation into water supply problems that adversely affected firefighting efforts during the destructive fires in Southern California.
In response to criticism regarding the handling of the disaster, Newsom expressed concern over the reported loss of water pressure to fire hydrants, highlighting the need for answers.
The limitations of local water systems were evident during the fires, particularly in Pacific Palisades, where fire hydrants provided insufficient water, complicating firefighting efforts.
While fire hydrants cannot extinguish large wildfires alone, the loss of water supply severely hampered efforts to protect homes and vital evacuation routes.
