Los Angeles mayoral candidate Rick Caruso blasted current Democrat Mayor Karen Bass and her "absolute mismanagement by the city," which led to the fire hydrants running dry and fires running rampant.
But at least the LA Fire Department is woke and has made great use of D.E.I. so that transgender 'women' are experts since birth, at using a hose.
The Los Angeles Times reported in the early hours of Wednesday morning that firefighters battling the blaze in Pacific Palisades had begun to report over radios that fire hydrants were losing pressure, going flaccid, and running out of water entirely.
“The hydrants are down,” and, “Water supply just dropped,” they said, according to the outlet.
The Department of Water and Power provided a statement to the Times acknowledging the hydrants were running out of water but did not give any indication as to how widespread the issue was.
“This area is served by water tanks and close coordination is underway to continue supplying the area,” the statement said.

Too bad they can't come up with a way to use the Pacific Ocean as a temporary water supply--it's just down the street.
Caruso commented on the still-unfolding clusterfrack: “There’s no water in the fire hydrants. The firefighters are there [in the neighborhood], and there’s nothing they can do — we’ve got neighborhoods burning, homes burning, and businesses burning. … It should never happen.”
Caruso called a local news station and revealed that his daughter’s home was among the 1000 structures that had burned thus far — and said that if the city [not to mention the state] was better managed, the situation could have been much less disastrous.
“My heart goes out obviously to the people with their homes, and I’m watching the small businesses around us go up in flames, you know this is people’s livelihoods,” Caruso said. “So it’s devastating. but what is most concerning to me is our first responders and our firefighters who are trying to battle this, there’s no water in the Palisades.”

What does it mean when one's heart goes out?
Caruso, a developer, went on to target the mismanagement of resources, saying that reservoirs had not been refilled and noting the fact that Mayor Bass is out of the country, traveling in Ghana on the taxpayers' dime.
“There’s no water coming out of the fire hydrants. This is an absolute mismanagement by the city,” he added. “It’s not the firefighters’ fault, but it’s by the city. And I’ve got to be very honest, we’ve got a mayor that’s out of the country, and we’ve got a city that’s burning, and there’s no resources to put out fires.”
“So if you look at your pictures, you don’t see the firefighters there because there’s nothing they can do,” he claimed. “It looks like we’re in a third-world country here.”

But we all know that if Trump had already been sworn in as President, he would be the target of blame.
