As an official in Mayor Karen Bass's office, I knew the wildfires were a possibility but admitted there was nothing we could do. I mentioned the mayor was in Ghana working to establish a consulate for Los Angeles, aiming to integrate African countries for potential healthcare benefits. I also said that many of the homes that burned were out of code, and it was like a "ticking time bomb." As a project manager for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, I admitted that the water reservoir for Pacific Palisades was empty for about a year due to a tear in the floating covers. I don't think it would have made a big impact during the fires, and also admitted to ignoring mandatory water emergency command center training initially.

Did the city of Los Angeles fail the fire department? Yes. It's essential to provide the resources needed for firefighters to effectively serve the community. Regarding the Santa Ynez reservoir being empty, when firefighters arrive at a hydrant, they expect water, but they don't control the water supply. If there's no water, they will find alternatives to manage the situation. Concerns about DWP hydrants not being inspected due to budget cuts are valid, and we will address that to ensure water availability. Ultimately, our firefighters did everything they could to save lives and property with the resources they had. Let's focus on providing them with the necessary support and water.

The lack of water for firefighters in Los Angeles during recent fires is attributed to an outdated water system and the scale of the fires. Experts suggest that even if the Santa Ynez reservoir had been full, it might not have significantly impacted the situation. However, the reservoir, located near the Pacific Palisades fire, holds 117 million gallons of water, which could have helped maintain water pressure for firefighters. A senior water utility executive criticized the decision to drain the reservoir for repairs, arguing it should have been kept full for emergencies. This reservoir is one of the largest treated water storage facilities on the West Coast, highlighting the importance of having adequate water resources during firefighting efforts.

I'm Alexander Boss from Mayor Karen Bass's office. We knew wildfires were possible but felt helpless. The mayor was in Ghana working to establish a consulate for Los Angeles and integrate African countries for healthcare opportunities. Angel Luna from the Department of Water and Power admitted the Pacific Palisades reservoir was empty for a year due to a tear in the floating covers, but he didn't think it would've helped much. I even ignored water emergency command center training initially. Some houses were out of code, contributing to the fire's spread. Despite Trump turning the water back on, I considered it a "dumb" move. There's a lot of misinformation coming out of TikTok. The reservoirs and hydrants had no water.

The reservoir was offline and empty, highlighting a concerning lack of proactive leadership and operational competence. This situation is not surprising given past experiences with fires and budget cuts that hinder essential preparations, such as creating firebreaks and inspecting hydrants. There's an ongoing investigation into a valve that could have improved water pressure in the reservoirs. The excuses being made, including claims of disinformation, are unacceptable in light of the devastation caused, including the loss of lives. It's crucial to examine how funds are allocated and to improve planning and logistics to prevent such disasters in the future.

The Santa Fez Reservoir, crucial for fighting the Palisades fire, was empty when the fire began. Firefighters ran out of water by 3 AM on Wednesday, unaware of the reservoir's status, which has been empty since February of last year. The Department of Water and Power failed to communicate this issue to the LAFD. Instead, firefighters relied on three backup tanks, each holding only 1 million gallons. The reservoir is reportedly closed for lid repairs, but there are no visible construction activities. Additionally, with the forecast of Santa Ana winds and a dry wet season, it raises questions about why there was no effort to refill the reservoir in advance. Clear answers are needed regarding these concerns.

I interviewed firefighters from the Los Angeles Fire Department, revealing alarming truths about the recent fires in Pacific Palisades. They ran out of water and faced inadequate hydrant access, with hydrants over 1,000 feet apart and only 2.5-inch outlets instead of the necessary 4 inches. This limited their ability to extinguish fires effectively. A crucial water reservoir was improperly tarped, preventing aerial support. The firefighters believe they could have saved more homes if they had sufficient water. They also pointed to the predictable Santa Ana winds and the growing homeless population as factors in the fires. Frustration exists over environmental regulations hindering controlled burns and water storage efforts. Ultimately, they emphasize the need for better preparation and accountability from leadership to prevent future disasters.

There are currently five active fires in Los Angeles, primarily in scrubland rather than forests. These fires are driven by ignition sources, particularly electrical wires and homeless encampments. The National Weather Service had warned of dangerous conditions days in advance, but the response from local officials was inadequate. The mayor's absence during the crisis was criticized, and the lack of water supply from reservoirs exacerbated the situation. The discussion also touched on the broader implications of societal neglect, the role of drug addiction in homelessness, and the need for a more proactive approach to public safety and fire prevention.

The White House asked me to represent the president on a short trip to Ghana, and I agreed. Looking back, I recognize it was a mistake to go. Despite warnings about the weather, the level of preparation we usually have for major weather events didn't happen. I wasn't fully aware of the severity. The fire chief indicated that while Santa Ana winds are common, the prediction of this event didn't trigger the usual city and county response. Now, two investigations are underway: one internal by the city's fire commission and another by the Fire Safety Research Institute, which investigated the Maui fires. Everything will be examined, including pre-deployment and staffing decisions. I felt terrible being away from my city and my family during the fires. My absence was very painful.

The White House asked me to represent the President on a short trip to Ghana, and I agreed. In hindsight, it was a mistake to go. We need to examine the lack of preparation for the fires. Typically, before a major weather event, we prepare by distributing sandbags and k-rails, but that didn't happen this time. Although there were warnings about the Santa Ana winds, the level of preparation wasn't there to indicate a terrible event was coming, so I wasn't alerted to the severity. Two investigations are underway to examine what happened, including pre-deployment and staffing issues. I felt terrible not being here for my city and my family, who were also impacted by the fires.

Megyn Kelly opens the show discussing the devastating wildfires in California, particularly in the Palisades area of Los Angeles, where homes are burning and residents are under mandatory evacuation orders. The Santa Ana winds, reaching over 60 MPH, have exacerbated the situation, making it difficult for firefighting efforts. Nearly 100,000 people have been evacuated, with 13,000 structures at risk. Eyewitness accounts reveal the terrifying proximity of flames to homes, and many residents were caught off guard, leading to chaotic evacuations. Kelly highlights the anger among residents regarding the state's mismanagement of fire resources, particularly the failure to maintain fire hydrants, which were reportedly dry during the crisis. The city's mayor, Karen Bass, was criticized for being out of the country during the disaster. Real estate developer Rick Caruso, who ran against Bass, expressed outrage over the lack of preparedness and resources for firefighters. The discussion shifts to the broader issues of California's fire management policies, including the prioritization of diversity and inclusion initiatives over practical firefighting needs. Kelly emphasizes that while diversity is important, the primary concern should be effective firefighting capabilities, especially in light of the predictable nature of wildfires in the region. The conversation also touches on the insurance crisis in California, where many residents are unable to secure fire insurance due to price controls, leading to potential financial ruin for those affected by the fires. The hosts reflect on the systemic failures that have led to this disaster, including inadequate forest management and the prioritization of social programs over essential services. As the show progresses, the hosts discuss the implications of these wildfires on the political landscape in California, suggesting that residents may begin to push back against leftist policies that have contributed to the crisis. They express hope for a cultural shift towards accountability and effective governance in the face of such disasters. The segment concludes with a call for empathy towards those affected by the fires, emphasizing that the loss of homes and memories transcends socioeconomic status. The hosts urge for a reevaluation of priorities in California to better prepare for future wildfires and protect residents.
