Would guess that by the time that happens, that water seepage in just going into the ground and not doing anything of benefit towards combating the fires. Would also start to wonder about that water seepage and sheer amount of water being hosed in areas like the hills, if landslides become another danger.
Good point. The problem that they were having was an issue of pressure not volume, with every open point no matter how small is decreasing that pressure. No pressure equals no GPH
During the Marshall fire in Colorado, the Louisville city workers were following the firefighters and turning off the mains for the burnt houses in order to keep the pressure going. They played a big part in fight the fire.
Think about that a little bit though. You work for 16 hours a day without a break? Is your office ever abandoned? How would you react if the fire department had a "closed cause we're all fighting fires" sign on it. And at least the MAGA cult listens to Elon 🤷
Right, Musk is the acting president. He is going to act like the leader since he paid for that position, but he won't spend any of his money to help anyone. I guarantee that.
Nothing like a BILLIONAIRE wasting critical people's time in a major crisis where people have died, and thousands of homes have burned to the ground! Disgraceful. Pathetic. 🤬💩🤡
Same with trump stopping emergency workers after the hurricane by insisting on him doing a press conference/ campaign rally whilst not a member of the government
Arson related fires were set in Southern California this last Fall too! Trump's last Administration... we had many Arson related fires here in California. Trump prompts this with his lies! And here we go again... Trump should be exiled from our country... not taking over the President's role. He is a mass murderer!!!
He did the same in Taiwan and when his idea proved not to go to work at all (never could) he took the time to insult the people who HAD the good ideas and saved the boys in the end. That's what he is. A disgrace.
Musk was not elected. Why is he wasting this professional's time? So, here is the thing, the same people who are climate deniers, thereby not adjusting and changing our methods, in light of our changing planet.
My stomach hurts. I can't understand. Human lives! People, pets and children abandoning their homes, running for their lives! I am literally shaking. And so close to profanities!
Why is there a need to respond to Musk's questions? He's just an ordinary citizen like everyone else. Just tell him to get out of the way they've got work to do.
He's been endorsed by the Felon Elect, so I guess he felt obligated. Can you imagine the social media post, if he had refused to speak to Musk? We're past the point of being focused on those addressing the disaster. Sad. It started with COVID and has devolved since then.

Elon Musk should not have any position in the US Government, nor do millions of Americans give a crap about his opinion. Trump’s Second Presidency is an international embarrassment. Excellent commentary Brian
It sounds like a pretty simple message. It's not that "there wasn't enough water", it's that _there isn't a system on the planet that could keep up with that much fire._
Wrong. Rain absolutely could. Rain is part of a thing called weather, which exists in a broader system known as climate, which we have on this planet. Yes, this very planet, the one where the fire was.
@@ropeblaster420 But now California's climate is known to be very dry. This time of the year is literally called "fire season" for a reason. There isn't any rain at all.
@@ropeblaster420 I mean ... I was talking man-made systems, but if we include rain, then only an absolute would even touch it before evaporating on the way down.
@@ropeblaster420do you know now that, depending on the intensity of a fire, any moisture in the air that could become rain instead EVAPORATES from the HEAT a fire can cause? Notwithstanding that most wildfires begins BECAUSE there is little moisture in the air during a heatwave to begin with.
I'm Australian and I think your absolutely deluded saying brian is being factual. He's incredibly biased and not hitting out at the california government because he's in bed with the democrats. The current Australian Labor party is literally in the same position as the california government because they have destroyed this country and put this country backwards.
So why aren't billionaire Trump and his billionaire friends donating some of their millions for these disasters? Fires, floods, hurricanes etc....all they want to do is criticize and politicize! What happened to Americans coming together in these times. Even Mexico and Canada are helping despite Trumps rhetoric and threatses toward them! What has happened to human decency and compassion!?
Sad that the worlds richest man elon musk does nothing but spew idiotic conspiracies about the wildfires ,,not a single bit of compassion for these folks who are suffering.
Trump caused the fires. i have no doubt he sent his crazies in there and told them to go hog wild. Trump is pissed about the immigrants so this seems like retaliation against Newsome. Plus all the videos of people walking around setting fires, some with flame throwers others with lighters and piles of debris. I said it a few years ago and ill keep saying it until other people wake up. Everything that happens from here on out is TRUMPS fault. He wants US all DEAD. and he wont stop, unless someone stops him. and nobody has the balls to do ANYTHING about it. ACTIONS speak louder than words, and everyone is standing still!
I used to be on a fire crew in a water tender with an ex-inmate who started fighting fire in prison, and joined my department after he got out. We were the best team! The water tender is Heavy!!!! Fire is crazy. The wind is terrifying.
@@TypeOneg the one I worked with did. He also said convicts get to fight fire based on good behavior, so it’s competitive to be chosen. Most people would much prefer to do something active, and help the community, and be able to get out of their cells. Makes the sentence time go by faster. My crew worked side by side with the convict crews, we would train every day and they would get to train too. On fires they would be cutting line while we are pulling hose and also cutting line. It is a beautiful team work situation and I’m grateful they have that program for inmates. Plus they have a ton of experience after they get out.
@@ShredderTainmentAnd, thank you to First Responders and those who train - glad to hear that there are programs like that. And gives the prisoners a real sense of accomplishment - something that they probably did not have access to before their sentences.
Exactly. Musk not going to do a darn thing to help. Musk and the rest of these maga Republicans needs to stop with the lies and political stunts and get the hell out of the way.
Extremely well done, Brian. It is very easy for people like Musk and Trump to sit back to point all the “mistakes” that have been made when neither of them have ever had to deal with an actual disaster like the California wildfires from their exalted thrones. With all the money they have, have they even contributed a dime towards actually fighting the fires? They need to put their money where their big mouths are.
There are people in the United States who suffer from hurricanes, tornadoes, floods,earthquakes, wildfires, but does anyone ever hear of multi-billionairs donating either food, water, shelters, equipment or any type of assistance to those in need. They are all full of talk and no substance.
These are heartless people. House speaker Johnson wants to put conditions on aide for the California fires. Speaker Johnson supposed to be a Christian is supposed to be a man of compassion but he is nothing a heartless Christian.
Johnson is the same kind of Christian who will deny help to a homeless person asking for one free meal unless that homeless person agrees to become Christian themselves. If the homeless person refuses, he'll be turned away.
Brian, thank you for bringing sanity to an unimaginable and frightening situation. Our leaders are stoking an environment of fear and blame casting! They should be focused on caring for the citizens who are counting on them to fix this! They are so childish! It's heartbreaking, really, the amount of disinformation they're perpetuating when the people need truth and guidance, and reassurance! So sad!😢
Musk got lucky with government contracts...while also Bezos is making billions off of AMAZON. We are the LOSERS guys. We have to fight back Trump and his oligarchs!

I think the transparency of the LAFD is awesome, I think if someone has questions, they should be able to get the answer. Without that transparency there could be more misinformation. I'm glad this was recorded. What he's saying is there was so much water that would have been needed to stop the fires, there's no water system in the world able to flow that much water.
WTF is Elon Musk doing in some special command location in California questioning the powers that be regarding water and the fires ? How tf did Musk get in there or obtain permission to be in there ?
I"m from the UK and people here simply don't like Elon Musk. Having been emboldened by his time in America standing by the side of Trump( why was he even allowed to do that. Because he has a lot of money????). America has to take some of the blame for that. When he came to the UK and EU to interfere the way he does, his total ignorance of world affairs became apparent. So he was just ignored. But he was allowed to get away all sorts of things in America. My real sympathy for the relatives of those who who died and those who have lost property in California. Not for those celebrities who shared scenes of their million dollar homes burning down. If anything is disgusting, that behaviour surely is.
Who does he think he is briefing with the firefighters? "Sounds good," what a creep. On another note: Thank You @BrianTylerCohen I get a lot of my information from you and you're a great source! ✊🏾
Careful and effective marketing since 2013. Deliberate and effective efforts to install people at every level of government and the most influential courts. Stoking people's worst fears and keeping hate simmering until it was time to heat-to-boiling.
Don't worry when Trump and his goons destroy the poor people that mostly voted for him 😮 It will be along time before Republicans win a election again.
Watching this unfold is just heartbreaking. I've seen many fire seasons and crises here in Australia, too. Yes, firebombing aircraft are often deployed as part of the firefighting effort. Yes, they can draw water from swimming pools, lakes, rivers and the sea if needed. But they need to be airbourne first. And that just wasn't possible with those immensely powerful winds coming down through the mountains.
@carolewilliams3016 Many Australians do, we get an intense education every few years. And we know we'll be in your shoes within the next few years. Unfortunately for you, during the December 2019 bushfires in Australia, Murdoch practiced his misinformation campaign and worked the bugs out of it. Because the then conservative government had actually not prepared because the fire season warnings mentioned climate change.... and Murdoch had installed the PM in a internal Party coup because the previous conservative PM had supported climate science as fact. So they were in trouble and needed scapegoats, and Murdoch practised the moves that would become part of the standard toolkit of Newscorp. See the reports of Antifa setting the 2023 California fires.
As an Australian who has been Through similar devastating wildfire my heart goes out to all those in California LA. During our last major fire across multiple states, the Conservative "right wing" Prime Minister of the time decided to go on a tropical holiday leaving the state governments to deal with the problem. His excuse "Well, I don't hold a hose, Mate." I hope you all can overcome this disaster as a community together.
2:41 No, actually, he is by no means an engineer. He has a bachelor's degree in theoretical physics and economics. He has not designed or built anything himself; not a car, not a rocket, nothing.
I'm in a fire prone area of NorCal. I've been angry crying for days reading all the despicable things these people have been saying about our beautiful state, our government leaders, etc. The lack of empathy and hatred for our humanistic and eco friendly policies is deplorable at best.
Newsom tried to burn the city to the ground but did not succeed. That's why we need to vote for KAMALA in 2027 for Governor of California ! Only she can finish the job.
We need to stop giving the crazy hate all that air. Remember, other states and other countries are sending skilled firefighters and those trained firefighters are gladly showing up to help. People are donating from all over. ❤ Sending love and strength from your WA neighbors.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE WAS EVEN ALLOWED TO BE THERE, CONSUMING THIS MAN'S TIME DURING AN ONGOING, HISTORIC, DEADLY EVENT. WTF is his relevance? Was he there on official "White House" business?
@sengathomson6439 I think they feel obligated because they have to assume he is acting on behalf of the incoming president now. However, he should never have been allowed to plow into that space and take up resource time, especially during a life-or-death emergency.
Grown men asking why water is a problem in a state wide fire just ridiculous. Have they not seen how water is transported an how pressure is used to move it?
Thank trump are Elon Musk have no business opening their big mouth saying anything because the both of them are stupid trump the main one that doesn't no anything trump can't even hold a glass of water I don't see trump are Elon Musk giving anything to help them as always Lord please close trump and Elon Musk big mouth and please Lord don't let trump stay in the White House to bring America down and the America people even worse than last time 🎉😮😢❤
You covered the reality of the fires very well already Brian. Lawrence O'Donnell also did an excellent analysis of the Santa Ana winds and how America has never experienced fires like this. Stay safe. Musk would do better to try and get Bannon to take a bath.😅
Do you mean the Appartide Neo-Slave owning profiteer? His parents owned Blood Diamond Mines during Appartide and worked the Black African people to death in their Mines, while they lived in Tin Hut Shanty Towns, he bought Tesla and marketed the Electric Vehicles he certainly didn't have anything to do with inventing them and the same with Space X.
@@rickicoughlan under tRUMPs administration (as we should have learned in his last) he dont care about America! He will allow anyone to interfere!! This time around, he dont give a F.....

Scary to think that the man that wants to go to Mars does not know how water pressure works. I am 73 years, female and I know if my husband showers and I want to water the garden THE WATER PRERSSURE GOES DOWN 🎉😅
The new administration is all about stirring up controversy and selling their story of: "Only I[Trump] can fix this. Please bow down to me." That they can't fix the world does not matter. It only matters that the loyalists believe they can.
IF he has two degrees - which he probably did not finish - he applied to university to be able to say he "deserved" a student visa, then, after a few days, stopped taking classes! So, it must be questioned if he had any degrees!

I’m no engineer or genius…but even I understood the concept…before the explanation…that there is no water system that will effectively address fires of this size and scope.
Also fires that are usually fought from the air because of terrain that the WINDS prevented...Just guessing President Elect Musk doesn't know that😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫...such a brilliant guy😳🥱😳🥱😳🥱
No insurance will effectively do nothing if they are all canceled before the fire starts. Gavin Newsome is leaving dying people in the fires like a hit and run driver !

I’m glad you are safe and spreading the truth. I just filled out an application for the Red Cross and I’m dying to get back down there to help!
Engineer here. Do not expect general intelligence because someone is an engineer. I have spent a decade teaching engineers, and have had to explain to some that you can't weld a steel to plastic. Musk's problem is he thinks he's smarter than he is, and therefore must inflict himself on the rest of us.

1.) Elon Musk is *not* an elected government official. 2.) Elon Musk is *not* a legitimately appointed government official. The so-called DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) is *not* a part of the Trump's cabinet and therefore is *not* a real department in the Executive branch of the Federal Government. 3.) The Constitution of the United States requires the president to obtain consent from Congress when establishing a department in the Executive branch. a.) As of today (January 14, 2025) the orange menace has *not* provided Congress with a formal proposal to establish DOGE. b.) Therefore, DOGE is *not* a legitimate "department". 4.) Americans who think DOGE is legitimate need to take several Civic Education classes *and* read the Constitution.

Completely false. You forgot hatred and grievances. Mental illness and self medicating leading to isolation. One day a man arrives on the scene promising to return everyone to better days. The only man nominated for president effectively speaking to the issues facing working people. The DNC pushed Bernie Sanders and his working class message out in favor of more corporate democrats. Democrats might have better policies for working people but they consistently talk down to them.
Trump is not a force for good in American politics, but YOU are the ignorant one.

It sounds like a pretty simple message. It's not that "there wasn't enough water", it's that _there isn't a system on the planet that could keep up with that much fire._
Wrong. Rain absolutely could. Rain is part of a thing called weather, which exists in a broader system known as climate, which we have on this planet. Yes, this very planet, the one where the fire was.
@@ropeblaster420 But now California's climate is known to be very dry. This time of the year is literally called "fire season" for a reason. There isn't any rain at all.
Not what he meant.@@ropeblaster420
@@ropeblaster420 I mean ... I was talking man-made systems, but if we include rain, then only an absolute would even touch it before evaporating on the way down.
@@ropeblaster420do you know now that, depending on the intensity of a fire, any moisture in the air that could become rain instead EVAPORATES from the HEAT a fire can cause? Notwithstanding that most wildfires begins BECAUSE there is little moisture in the air during a heatwave to begin with.
From Australia. thank you Brian for doing such a great job of continually presenting factual information. Your work is indispensable.
????????????!LOL!!!
I'm Australian and I think your absolutely deluded saying brian is being factual. He's incredibly biased and not hitting out at the california government because he's in bed with the democrats. The current Australian Labor party is literally in the same position as the california government because they have destroyed this country and put this country backwards.
Aussie here too - great work Brian, great to see facts in a time of crisis while Republic**ts throw virtual fuel on the fire...

Could some people in Australia please go to CAL and educate them on fire risk reduction?
Damn it makes me SICK to see Musk parading around like the President of our country. DISGUSTING
He was elected by MAGA
I can’t stand the dude.. face voice.. entire being
OUR COUNTRY IS GONE.
He's disgusting regardless
I agree....he ain't got no damn authority in this country ..and all this shit because of that clown called trump gets alected AGAIN!
So why aren't billionaire Trump and his billionaire friends donating some of their millions for these disasters? Fires, floods, hurricanes etc....all they want to do is criticize and politicize! What happened to Americans coming together in these times. Even Mexico and Canada are helping despite Trumps rhetoric and threatses toward them! What has happened to human decency and compassion!?
Sad that the worlds richest man elon musk does nothing but spew idiotic conspiracies about the wildfires ,,not a single bit of compassion for these folks who are suffering.
Greed.
It is taboo in the MAGA generation.
I hope America can survive the next four years.
Trump caused the fires. i have no doubt he sent his crazies in there and told them to go hog wild. Trump is pissed about the immigrants so this seems like retaliation against Newsome. Plus all the videos of people walking around setting fires, some with flame throwers others with lighters and piles of debris. I said it a few years ago and ill keep saying it until other people wake up. Everything that happens from here on out is TRUMPS fault. He wants US all DEAD. and he wont stop, unless someone stops him. and nobody has the balls to do ANYTHING about it. ACTIONS speak louder than words, and everyone is standing still!
Because it’s all about pushing their false narrative to try and make Mags look superior to all others
Right?!? That was my first thought. He has ZERO business even being in California right now.
I used to be on a fire crew in a water tender with an ex-inmate who started fighting fire in prison, and joined my department after he got out. We were the best team! The water tender is Heavy!!!! Fire is crazy. The wind is terrifying.
Thx for this. And I need good info, do departments hire ex cons? just curious.
Thank you for your service.
@@TypeOneg the one I worked with did. He also said convicts get to fight fire based on good behavior, so it’s competitive to be chosen. Most people would much prefer to do something active, and help the community, and be able to get out of their cells. Makes the sentence time go by faster. My crew worked side by side with the convict crews, we would train every day and they would get to train too. On fires they would be cutting line while we are pulling hose and also cutting line. It is a beautiful team work situation and I’m grateful they have that program for inmates. Plus they have a ton of experience after they get out.
@@ShredderTainmentAnd, thank you to First Responders and those who train - glad to hear that there are programs like that.
And gives the prisoners a real sense of accomplishment - something that they probably did not have access to before their sentences.

Extremely well done, Brian. It is very easy for people like Musk and Trump to sit back to point all the “mistakes” that have been made when neither of them have ever had to deal with an actual disaster like the California wildfires from their exalted thrones. With all the money they have, have they even contributed a dime towards actually fighting the fires? They need to put their money where their big mouths are.
There are people in the United States who suffer from hurricanes, tornadoes, floods,earthquakes, wildfires, but does anyone ever hear of multi-billionairs donating either food, water, shelters, equipment or any type of assistance to those in need. They are all full of talk and no substance.
We have F-elon and Felon running our Country!
These are heartless people. House speaker Johnson wants to put conditions on aide for the California fires. Speaker Johnson supposed to be a Christian is supposed to be a man of compassion but he is nothing a heartless Christian.
Well said
He is acting under instructions from Trump.
Johnson is not a good Christian.

I think the transparency of the LAFD is awesome, I think if someone has questions, they should be able to get the answer. Without that transparency there could be more misinformation. I'm glad this was recorded. What he's saying is there was so much water that would have been needed to stop the fires, there's no water system in the world able to flow that much water.
God I'm so sick of Musk. He can't leave this Earth fast enough.
Also, he's not an engineer; he's a snake oil salesman.

WTF is Elon Musk doing in some special command location in California questioning the powers that be regarding water and the fires ? How tf did Musk get in there or obtain permission to be in there ?
Since he doesn't seem to want to donate money why doesn't he suit up and go fight the damn fires himself!
My first thought, too.
ELECTED VP donnie sells his soul for MONEY
A billion $ question.
Thank you Brian for telling it like it is!
I"m from the UK and people here simply don't like Elon Musk. Having been emboldened by his time in America standing by the side of Trump( why was he even allowed to do that. Because he has a lot of money????). America has to take some of the blame for that. When he came to the UK and EU to interfere the way he does, his total ignorance of world affairs became apparent. So he was just ignored. But he was allowed to get away all sorts of things in America. My real sympathy for the relatives of those who who died and those who have lost property in California. Not for those celebrities who shared scenes of their million dollar homes burning down. If anything is disgusting, that behaviour surely is.
Prayers for California

MUSK HASN'T BEEN VOTED FOR ANYTHING!
Elected by uneducated people hateful people and rich people
Watching this unfold is just heartbreaking. I've seen many fire seasons and crises here in Australia, too. Yes, firebombing aircraft are often deployed as part of the firefighting effort. Yes, they can draw water from swimming pools, lakes, rivers and the sea if needed. But they need to be airbourne first. And that just wasn't possible with those immensely powerful winds coming down through the mountains.
That's exactly right what you said
Finally someone who understands 👍🏽
@carolewilliams3016 Many Australians do, we get an intense education every few years.
And we know we'll be in your shoes within the next few years.
Unfortunately for you, during the December 2019 bushfires in Australia, Murdoch practiced his misinformation campaign and worked the bugs out of it. Because the then conservative government had actually not prepared because the fire season warnings mentioned climate change.... and Murdoch had installed the PM in a internal Party coup because the previous conservative PM had supported climate science as fact.
So they were in trouble and needed scapegoats, and Murdoch practised the moves that would become part of the standard toolkit of Newscorp.
See the reports of Antifa setting the 2023 California fires.
You get it.
Yes and they tried to use them and had to ground them. I have seen this with my own eyes
As an Australian who has been Through similar devastating wildfire my heart goes out to all those in California LA. During our last major fire across multiple states, the Conservative "right wing" Prime Minister of the time decided to go on a tropical holiday leaving the state governments to deal with the problem. His excuse "Well, I don't hold a hose, Mate." I hope you all can overcome this disaster as a community together.
That guy sounds like the Australian Ted Cruz. Excuse me... Cancun Cruz.

I'm in a fire prone area of NorCal. I've been angry crying for days reading all the despicable things these people have been saying about our beautiful state, our government leaders, etc. The lack of empathy and hatred for our humanistic and eco friendly policies is deplorable at best.
We seem to to be past that point in America, at least in regards to our national leadership.

Elon is not an engineer he has two degrees, one in economics and another in physics. His father is an electromechanical engineer.

I am 73 years, female and I know if my husband showers and I want to water the garden THE WATER PRERSSURE GOES DOWN 🎉😅
Let him go to Mars. Encourage him
The new administration is all about stirring up controversy and selling their story of: "Only I[Trump] can fix this. Please bow down to me." That they can't fix the world does not matter. It only matters that the loyalists believe they can.
IF he has two degrees - which he probably did not finish - he applied to university to be able to say he "deserved" a student visa, then, after a few days, stopped taking classes!
So, it must be questioned if he had any degrees!
Makes you wonder if he actually earned the degrees. The most empty wagons make the most noise..
