California\u2019s Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom ordered an independent investigation into the lack of water in fire hydrants after Los Angeles burned.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am calling for an independent investigation into the loss of water pressure to local fire hydrants and the reported unavailability of water supplies from the Santa Ynez Reservoir,\u201d Newsom said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need answers to ensure this does not happen again and we have every resource available to fight these catastrophic fires,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Newsom\u2019s letter was addressed to Janisse Qui\u00f1ones, the overpaid bureaucrat who oversees fire hydrant maintenance.<\/p>\n

Local news reporters captured shocking footage of firefighters encountering dry fire hydrants as structures burned in the LA fires.<\/p>\n

WATCH:<\/p>\n

\n

Around 4:45 p.m. Tuesday, a hydrant firefighters were using on Lachman Lane ran dry. You can hear what sounds like air pushing out, but no water. #PalisadesWildfire<\/a> #PalisadeFire<\/a> #PacificPalisades<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/09e6FRrcIM<\/a><\/p>\n

On the ground, firefighters reported that several hydrants in the area had run dry, severely hampering their efforts to control the inferno.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no water in the fire hydrants,\u201d Rick Caruso, owner of the Palisades Village shopping center, told\u00a0The Times<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cThe firefighters are there, and there\u2019s nothing they can do \u2014 we\u2019ve got neighborhoods burning, homes burning, and businesses burning. \u2026 It should never happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reports have surfaced <\/a>that a Los Angeles County official responsible for this simple task of overseeing fire hydrant maintenance is raking in an astonishing $750,000 annually.<\/p>\n

Janisse Qui\u00f1ones \u201cknew about empty reservoir and broken hydrants\u201d several months before Tuesday\u2019s wildfires. <\/p>\n

Additionally, according to a leaked memo<\/a>, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass demanded an additional $49 million in budget cuts to the already cash-strapped Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) just days before wildfires ravaged the city.<\/p>\n

The memo, dated January 6\u2014merely a day before the Palisades Fire ravaged the region\u2014proposed shutting down 16 fire stations across the city, slashing resources critical for combating wildfires and responding to emergencies.<\/p>\n
