You won’t be shocked to learn that nearly every major fire that I’ve been on that have burned in to residential neighborhoods (I.E. Camp fire in paradise) the water system has failed. The systems are not designed to have a large percentage of people turn on sprinklers and hoses at the same time in addition to fire apparatus drawing water. This is true across the state.

We will setup portable pumps and tanks near lakes, streams and oceans as fill stations as they’re more reliable sources. Hydrants are typically useful only for smaller fires and in the early phases.

Drawing from lakes and oceans makes sense if you can move the water to where it is needed fast enough.

I have 55,000 litres of water in two full tanks that I don't drink from, as a source of firefighting water. There are no hydrants out here.

I just want them to stop turning arable farmland into useless desert. That is my only real problem with LA. Destroying the property values of good farms by fiat order because "LA needs it" and they have more voters to make it happen.

100%, Sacramento is completely insane. Driving on I-5 through the Central Valley you can see all the dead orchards from the lack of water. Wasn’t like that when I was a kid. A lot of water is also wasted into the ocean to meet fiat and arbitrary environmental regs for the brine shrimp or whatever. There’s definitely a balance and California abandoned that concept long ago.
