@nhantran6645 no read this bro : " Three main water tanks near the Palisades, each holding about 1 million gallons, were filled in preparation of the fire because of dangerous weather. The tanks were all depleted by 3 a.m. on Jan. 8, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power CEO and Chief Engineer Janisse Quiñones said during a Jan. 8 press conference. Although water continued to flow to the affected areas, demand for water rose faster than the system could deliver it. "There's water in the trunk line, it just cannot get up the hill, because we cannot fill the tanks fast enough," Quiñones said. "And we cannot lower the amount of water that we provide to the fire department in order to supply the tanks, because we're balancing firefighting with water."

The rebuild will be the most expensive in history. Those who provide the necessary materials and labor that goes into rebuilding homes and businesses will definitely be taking advantage of the situation to raise prices to incredible highs. Don't be surprise if there are so-called shortages of materials to create demand that will also cause prices to increase.

Rep Dave Min says "now is not the time to criticize". But it was the fire chief that said the budget was cut. The facts that show incompetence by pushing water out into the ocean. The LA mayor being out of the country/after she said she would never do that. Is that not criticism? Typical Democrat response. This is not a Republican disaster.
