When the fire hydrants were going dry the year before the fire department did not bother to figure out why? This is criminal negligence.

They need to move the responsibility for fire hydrant maintenance and the piping infrastructure that supports them to the fire department. One throat to choke. In fact the fire department should own and maintain its own reservoirs feeding the fire hydrants.

Criminal negligence. That’s what I posted yesterday. Someone or several someones need to be charged with it, and go to prison.

Plus huge back-up generators and fuel storage for pump power, and also large storage tanks up high in the hills for gravity feed.

But all this would never be allowed in Commiefornica.

Well, nothing new in CA.
During 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, many fire hydrants turned out dry.
They were never connected to the water! The contractors just cheated a place dummy hydrants there.

this is a perfect example of the hatred of our country that our government produced through indoctrination in our education system in the disguise of “diversity equality inclusion”... aka “dei”...

trump made a brilliant move when he recruited musk to help make america great again...

Grossly impracticable and wasteful.

On the other hand, yearly inspections of support infrastructure is mandated.
