Gavin Newsom Calls for Investigation into Non-Working Fire Hydrants
X ^

Posted on 01/10/2025 3:57:24 PM PST by TigerClaws

avin Newsom @GavinNewsom NEW: I am calling for an independent investigation into the loss of water pressure to local fire hydrants and the reported unavailability of water supplies from the Santa Ynez Reservoir.

We need answers to ensure this does not happen again and we have every resource available to fight these catastrophic fires.

No wonder State Farm dropped the customers. One of the considerations is proximity to a Hydrant.

State Farm might have gotten word they are not operational.

They don’t say anything and let the assh*** gov’t ride for fear of unlawful warfare.

State Farm, Farmers, and one other major insurance company pulled out of Ca. the 3rd name of company escapes me!!! Jame’s Wood had NO insurance they cancelled him 4 months ago and he was unable to find insurance for his home!! Jame’s Wood home survived EVERYTHING around him was destroyed this was the hand of God an absolute miracle!!! I am so thankful God watched over him he has endured the wrath of Hollywood for speaking the truth!! He was also the person that tried to warn the FBI that he was on a flight where he thought the 9/11 terrorists we’re doing a dry run, of course he was ignored!!

Also came out many of the fire trucks were non-operational as they didn’t have enough mechanics. Likely couldn’t find Trans black Muslim women to hire so … let the trucks rot.

But none of the administration salaries were cut.

$650,000 a year for the chief!

I heard they were using the older fire trucks are hanger queens and stripping them for spare parts to keep the rest of the fleet in operation.

Nothing wrong with the fire hydrants. Nada.

The DEI wise "latinx" responsible for keeping water in the hydrants, at $750,000 per year salary, that's the problem. That's the big problem right there.

A man of action. This type of leadership is going to take him to the White House.

“We need answers to ensure this does not happen again”....

replace with

We need answers so that we can fire and possibly prosecute those responsible.

As far as an independent investigator goes, I nominate Rick Caruso.

“We need answers”

Sheesh, stupidity on parade. New tanks, new reservoirs, don’t take reservoirs out of service unless substitutes are available, test the hydrants, model water demand in such firestorms to properly size the water systems, replace ancient pipes, stop sending water out to the Pacific in big winter years.

Better yet, build emergency pumping stations on the coast that will fill the pipes with seawater. It would be a final backstop solution if everything else failed. San Francisco uses such a system which has been quietly sitting there 113 years waiting to be called into service (it is tested regularly to be ready).

It ain’t rocket surgery.

He is running for POTUS in 2028.

So he can answer, “We formed an independent group to study what mistakes the locals made in that situation and we found blah blah blah climate change, blah blah blah, budget cuts, blah blah Trump’s fault.”

Democrats love chaos. Can fundamentally transform those areas burned up.

True sociopath. That’s why whatever he controls, he ruins. He simply cannot function as a responsible human being. Totally delusional.

“He is running for POTUS in 2028.”

Lots of people are saying he’ll never be president because of this disaster. What do you think?
