California’s Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom ordered an independent investigation into the lack of water in fire hydrants after Los Angeles burned.
“I am calling for an independent investigation into the loss of water pressure to local fire hydrants and the reported unavailability of water supplies from the Santa Ynez Reservoir,” Newsom said.
“We need answers to ensure this does not happen again and we have every resource available to fight these catastrophic fires,” he said.
Newsom’s letter was addressed to Janisse Quiñones, the overpaid bureaucrat who oversees fire hydrant maintenance.
Local news reporters captured shocking footage of firefighters encountering dry fire hydrants as structures burned in the LA fires.
