Also electrical lines had to be shut down so they would not start more fires. Educate yourself by listening to the news from other sources.

Salt in sea water destroys fire fighting equipment and also dumping thousands of gallons of salt water has a negative impact on land even when it’s scorched, and affects habitat (soil, plants, trees, grass - all of it) when regrowth starts to occur. Just like everything else, you’ve got to do a little research - nothing is as simple as it appears on the surface.
Did you hear about the 100 mph winds? Try using planes and helicopters under those conditions. I so wish uneducated (brainwasjed) folks like you would simply express sympathy instead of blame, specially when you don't k.ow what you are talki.g about.
Three reasons. 1. Corrosion. There are many materials that can handle seawater, but existing firefighting infrastructure would have to be rebuilt for compatibility. 2. Flora damage. You would not be able to replace the native plant species. This is particularly bad in the nearby forests. The entire ecosystem -- plants and animals -- could be destroyed. 3. Electrical hazard. Throwing saltwater at damaged electrical infrastructure is a bad idea.
Left wing california environmental policies and unqualified state and city officials mostly concerned with diversity, equity and inclusion got us where we are today...
My thoughts exactly, California is right at the ocean but California doesn't have water, what a joke ! This is like the rulers new clothes, pure ignorance.

@zacshepard2042 No it isn't. You must still be under the, incorrect, assumption that they ran out of water. They did not. What happened was the firefighters were using so much water so fast that they dropped the water tanks used to keep pressure in the lines to the point water wouldn't come out. This happened because city hydrants are not designed to fight raging wildfires fueled by hurricane like winds. Make sense? Its a natural disaster, it wasn't really any way realistically to prevent this given the conditions with those high winds. Just admit you don't care about facts or truth, and just want to try and smear and complain and make people look bad.
@zacshepard2042 Let me ask you this. Did you also claim negligence for the government of North Carolina for allowing people to build along the flood plains on the riverbank? Why didn't they use tax dollars to prevent it? What about Florida's government? Did you criticize them for allowing people to build in hurricane prone areas, and not spending more tax dollars to prevent flooding? What about the government of Texas for their failing power grid during a winter storm that left much of the state in the cold and dark? Or, is it maybe, you don't actually care and just want to exploit a natural disaster to try and score cheap political points?
What no one talks about is there is a ballot measure almost every year to increase funding for fire, police and schools and increase property taxes to pay for it. They always pass. So how are they allowed to cut funding for the fire and police when voters have voted to increase their taxes to put more money towards these very things? Where is the accountability? Why aren’t they in prison for embezzlement?
@@fernandohernandez9156 No, it's why Cali is #1 state people are leaving. The economy size is due to tax base, which is shrinking as companies and families pull out of there.
Why would you need to do desalination if we're using the water for fires? My understanding is it's expensive so why not just have that water to fight fires and there would plenty.

San Francisco has hundreds of underground storage tanks around the city as a back up for fire hydrants which don’t work during earthquakes. The water tanks were installed after the 1906 earthquake. Today it is impossible to install in California cities due to environmental regulations.
You get what you vote for, remembering that politicians are not stupid but the people who vote for them are stupid. Sorry for all of the devastation and loss of lives. I'm praying for them.🤔
Just so people actually know..... Most states have National Guard units. Kalifornia is one of four (4) states that actually has it's own "full Army National Guard Division". The 40th Infantry Division. The most likely reason they weren't called up sooner is because of money. If the governor calls them up, Kalifornia must pay them out of Kalifornia's budget. Kalifornia must also pay four travel, housing, and 3 meals a day. Kalifornia's budget is in the grave, so that's why Newsom didn't want to call up the National Guard.
You need a pumper truck to get the water out of the pool. I wonder why they don't have the ability to get water out of the ocean.. That's been my question for days.

You have structures all around you in most cases and setting up to draft from a pool knowing there want be enough water to do any good ; much wiser to help get people out of harms way than try to fight a structure fire without enough water.
