VCFD PIO says how a quick reflex time for copters to a water source is so critical in the firefight. This is what went wrong in the Palisades: Karen Bass drained our reservoir, and instead of 30 second load-and-returns, copters had to fly miles away for water, & the...

Real estate agent Morgan Goldberg lost her home in the Pacific Palisades fires She says she’s tired of the lies being told by Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass She shows “I’m back here at our reservoir, still empty, almost a year and a half after the fire” Karen Bass says this reservoir hasn’t been used for wildfires “in a million years” and now it’s only for drinking water Well, that’s a lie for 2 reasons Bass says the reservoir hasn’t been used in millions of years to fight fires, that’s false. It’s not that old 2nd, the reservoir can absolutely be used for fighting fires “All municipal systems have two kinds of water: potable and non-potable - Potable water is, in addition to drinking water, used in all of our systems; irrigation, fire hydrants, you name it. It simply means that the water's been treated - So non-potable water is sewage water, runoff water, everything that has not been treated or gone through our system So Just by mere fact that this exists in a LADWP man-made reservoir makes it potable, and it also funnels water to our fire hydrants. So yes, this is drinking water and it's fire hydrant water. We use it for everything. Except we don't because it's empty.” She’s referred to The Santa Ynez Reservoir, the 117 million gallon covered reservoir in the Pacific Palisades Highlands The reservoir stores treated drinking water. Its cover prevents contamination, which is why it isn’t used like open reservoirs for direct helicopter dipping. However, in an emergency this could have easily been used to fight fires So Karen Bass is lying again

The lack of water available to firefighters in Los Angeles was unavoidable, say experts and the media. Hydrants ran dry because the fires were just too big and the water system too old. Even if the large Santa Ynez reservoir had been filled with water, it likely would not have made a difference, they say. But there are good reasons to believe that it would have made a very significant difference. The Santa Ynez Reservoir is just a few thousand feet away from where the massive Pacific Palisades fire started and is the second largest of L.A.’s “ten major active reservoirs.” It’s too early to say precisely how much of a difference it would have made, and there’s no question that LA’s fire system is antiquated. It was never created to battle so many different fires at once. What’s more, the use of so many hydrants and the destruction of so many service lines to private residences resulted in a major loss of water and, thus, of water pressure. But the Santa Ynez reservoir was uphill from the Pacific Palisades fire and the firefighters doing battle with it would likely have had first access to its 117 million gallons of water before other firefighters below them. And that would likely have kept water pressure high. While the media downplayed the significance of the Santa Ynez, a senior water utility executive has come forward to tell Public that “117 million gallons is a huge amount of treated water storage to have available for firefighting. Massive. Maybe one of the biggest treated water storage reservoirs on the whole West Coast.” The person I spoke with has worked as a senior professional in a California water utility for two decades. The person told Public that the LADWP should never have drained the Santa Ynez reservoir of water. Instead, it should have kept it full for emergency use, and only drained it to repair a torn cover after the fire risk was far lower and after LADWP had a contractor under contract and ready to perform necessary repairs....
