  • Firefighters faced challenges while combating three wildfires in Los Angeles, leading to depleted water tanks in Pacific Palisades.
  • The tanks, totaling 3 million gallons, ran empty due to four times the normal demand over an extended period.
  • Water pressure decreased as high consumption outpaced refills from lower-elevation reserves.
  • Urban water systems are not designed for wildfire suppression, putting additional strain on firefighting efforts.
  • Mayor Karen Bass announced the resumption of air support as conditions improved, while political figures exchanged criticisms over California's water management.
