Newsom claimed there was plenty of water but reports are water mains to

Yeah, who can prepare for 80 mph wind in SoCalm in conjunction with
fire. Never happened before.

    There was no brush management to cut and dispose of brush that fed the
fire.  They had a lack of infrastructure so water could be pumped under
pressure to higher elevations.   They cut the fire department budget by 18
million dollars.

That was proposed, but hadn't gone into effect yet, and the mayor said they'd be taking another look at that
  They had evacuation plans that looks like something out of

the keystone cops.
 You can't prevent but you sure as hell can do a better job to prepare.
Instead politicians will just wave their hands and blame "climate change".
