After millions of views spreading lies about the Palisades firefighters lacking water because of regulations, the boring truth comes late like usual and wont be shared. Here it is:
1 - Reservoirs and water tanks were at normal levels and completely full before the fire.
2 - All 114 city water supply tanks were fully stocked pre-fire.
3 - A 15-hour surge at four times normal demand reduced water pressure.
4 - High demand at lower elevations slowed refilling tanks at higher elevations.
5 - This unprecedented fire was fueled by 8 months of no rain and 85 MPH winds. Water is being brought in continuously.
