It's not surprising that the hydrants would be empty because there are so many fire crews fighting these fires. Maybe if the mayor was there he could magically make the water appear?! 🙄

[@SheilaR.08]

​@@sisophousEarlier, there were reports that many homeowners, even some who evacuated, had their sprinklers on full blast to try to protect their homes. That causes a huge loss of water pressure, which is affecting firefighters.

Mother Nature is actually God letting nature take it’s course! Man has a choice! To do what is necessary for prevention & protection against certain things! (People destroy themselves for lack of spiritual & world wisdom!) We learned from the Native American Indians how to do controlled burns etc(cultivation yada yada)! And certain people called them savages!?!?! We live with greed in overdrive now! Someone is always trying to takeover or drive cost up on everything/everyone nowadays! I thank God there is something better than this mess on earth we see now! I pray 🙏🏽 all find Jesus before it’s too late! Getting harder to enjoy life on earth! (Selfishness left & right)! Jesus said the rich will have a harder time getting in heaven…. meanwhile the rich are trying to have heaven on earth! Many rich & poor are lost spiritually!!! Matthew 25…& Matthew 7!

[@sabgoncalco748]

@orlandojohnson5742 it's not mother nature. It's this greedy evil ones causing these fires everywhere worldwide (plus other disasters like floodings, hurricanes etc.) for their evil purposes. And God allows that temporary for His purpose.

[@pathtopeaceministry6777]

This is one reason it’s not wise to build your house is too close together, I know it saved space but, but also one thing I noticed in California in the last 30 years is, there’s no cleaning up of under brush dead trees. Brush on the ground makes fuel to start very rapidly.

[@Martin-b5t9p]

In the wildfire jargon, it's called "defensible space."

[@sminem6572]

Trump said the same thing when he was 45th. He went to Finland and spoke to the president there who shared his advice on how his country prevents wildfires. Trump came back and told Newsom and the democrats. They decided to do the exact opposite just to spite him. Look where that got them. Absolutely no sympathy for the people who voted for this.

[@1pcfred]

Too close together? With that wind it could carry an ember a half a mile. I don't think your plan is going to work.

[@Konghammer1]

Yeah, they called us morons in Oregon for maintaining our forest floor. Told us we were stupid and just hurting the environment, and for the last 20ish years OUR wildland firefighters have been going to California to fight THEIR fires. If it wasn't for California our wildland groups would be half the size they are now and would make a lot less money.

[@BelindaWardWARD112]

The extreme lack of humidity in the air causes vegetation - living and dead - to significantly dry out and become susceptible to fire. The tremendous wind speeds can stoke any spark - from a fallen power line to a cigarette butt - into a rapidly spreading conflagration. So either a powerline fell or someone didn't put out a cigarette wind by itself can not start fires

[@IFartOnMyNutz69]

When I first read that I thought it said the extreme lack of humanity and I'm like for LA, that checks out. 🤣🤣

There is a way to create moisture in the air and humidity. I am not sure why the state isn't trying to create significant changes to fix this.

[@TeeS-s4n]

Hey, educate yourself based on facts. NEWSCUM and his commie regime are responsible for this due to their incredibly mismanaged and harmful policies. He personally got rid of forest management that prevented this, he also refuses to allow the natural water streaming resources we have to flow and stopped that as well. Mean while, communist Karen Bass is in Ghana right now and left LA without any water in their fire hydrants or resources to help this out. You voted for the enemies within who did this on purpose. 🤡

[@hannaj3173]

Yes last time there was those massive wildfires in California it was due to Edison power company and a faulty device that set off. Unlikely that any power company would ever come forward because this is another trillions of dollars of damage in high value homes. My theory however is it's the insurance agencies the more the insurance agencies can make expensive insurance rates and deny Californians insurance, the higher the demand will be in the real estate will still skyrocket. To the rich and powerful can be moving many things behind the smoke and mirrors.
