Newsom claimed there was plenty of water but reports are water mains to
fight the fires ran dry.

If you try really, really, hard, maybe you could figure out how
opening 250 hydrants near the reserviour might cause some problems
for the ones farther downstream.

 

So again, they were totally unprepared for this.

 
damn, you're dumb
 
 

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.  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".
