Water hydrants emptied after fire
According to the Los Angeles Water Department, all water hydrants in California were fully operational before the fire. Due to high demand for water to extinguish the fire, pressure on the system increased and the water level dropped.
Due to this, it affected 20% of the water hydrants and created a drought situation in them. In fact, water hydrants have dried up in many places in California. According to the NYT, state Governor Gavin Newsom on Friday ordered an investigation into how the water hydrant ran out of water so quickly.
