Palisades fire live updates: Los Angeles firefighters are running out of water as they battle growing wildfires: report
Follow the Post’s live updates as the Palisades Fire rips across California and forces at least 30,000 Los Angeles residents to evacuate.
Our beloved MAGA James Woods' home, unfortunately, was lost to the inferno, but he and his family are safe.

Why he stayed in that hell hole for so long is beyond me.
Perhaps now he'll rebuild somewhere in America...
My guess is he was fighting the good fight to speak out against those deliberately trying to destroy his beautiful state in an effort to help get rid of that leftist cancer rather than allow them to consume the land and the good people living there.
I lived in Cali for several years (a couple decades ago) and the state and people are great. The current "leaders" have managed to trash it since then. I'd rather we get rid of the cancerous leftists in Cali and every other leftist-infested area in this country than to cede one acre to these beasts.
It will be interesting to see where he ends up living after this devastating loss.
Wouldn't it be great to have a time machine.....
Aww... No shit. I'm hoping and praying that this insanity can stop once and for all once POTUS gets back in charge, hoping and praying for disclosures to pour out from every corrupt, leftist-infested corner of this country. I have a feeling Trump's second term is going to be very different from his first.
From your lips to God's ears, friend.
I just want some pickup stix house chicken or beef
Had to look that one up, never heard of them before.

Go back & watch some Adam-12 & Emergency episodes. I see a beautiful state digging for oil, it was clean & prosporous. Im not talking about the scenes filmed on the back lot either.
I’m on a board of a MUD (municipal utilities district) in Texas. I can tell you that no water in the hydrants doesn’t happen by accident. Having enough water in the system to feed those hydrants is a responsibility of the city utilities. They are incompetent or worse to have this happen. Being in an area where fires happen on a regular basis they would know enough water would be paramount for a safe environment for the neighborhoods.
treason
Watch the water🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I’m watching coverage while I’m working this morning. I know not everything is a conspiracy, but in my opinion, the nefarious globalists have wanted California for themselves for a long time. They’ve been driving people out of there for a solid decade or more. They’ve turned it into a sh*thole. On purpose. This fire will destroy thousands of homes and thousands of lives and hundreds of businesses over the next few days. How convenient. This is a catastrophic event—a deep state specialty.
On the surface, the far-left government appears incompetent on the international stage.
So what is really going on? What is the real agenda here?
Good question. The "incompetence" is a ruse, imho; agree with you there. They're deliberately destroying these places and some have posited that the beasts want to make them uninhabitable to replace them with their own, "planned cities". Prime property in both this area of Cali (all on the coast, actually) and Maui, for example.
Exactly this. ⬆️
It does seem to be a land grab. It confuses me why they are encouraging blue state voters to flee though.
Good point. They want them in all the red states.
Because they’re not loyal to anyone when they want something.
you mean using incompetency as an excuse, like in Butler PA? hmmm
Hmmmm is right fren!
Cali should have fire hydrants that collect dog piss....
Cali should have a Governor and Mayors, Senators, Congress critters, council people, etc that aren't malevolent DS minions deliberately trying to destroy that beautiful state and the wonderful people who live there.
It used to be the most beautiful state.
It was/is very beautiful, yes. The states I've been to all have their own unique beauty.
I'm hopeful this country can flourish again after the evil is eradicated (God willing). I'm guessing we've never actually seen the beauty, innovation, advancement, etc humanity can create when not hindered by malevolent beings. If I get to see even a fraction of it in my lifetime I'll be joyous here on earth.
The wonderful people who continue to vote those malevolent DS minions in?
Vote for? That's an interesting concept.
Just like a "majority" of Americans "voted for" Joe Biden in 2020?
True Americans didn't vote for joe biden...
Agreed, yes. Elections have been rigged. Just like in Cali and elsewhere.
If it can’t be audited, it isn’t legitimate.
We do not have elections in this country.
We do not know how many people should be able to vote. We do not know how many do vote. We do not know who they vote for. We do not know how many people were paid to vote. We do not know how many votes were lost or adjudicated. We do not know who we, ourselves were counted as voting for, or if we were even counted.
If we don’t know who WE voted for, we have zero idea how many people voted for Joe Biden.
C’mon fren, we’re over 8 years into this. It’s not who votes that counts, it’s who counts the votes.
Every person here should understand the votes are all fake by now.
That said, it is still disturbing to run into the blind idiots who did vote for him. They just didn’t vote him in, those are two different things.
Brentwood is also on fire. Has anyone heard yet whether Bobby Kennedy's home is affected.
So sickening to read comments by Californians in the fire areas saying how they know Biden will help them and how it has to happen before Trump gets in or they'll get no assistance! Incomprehensible almost..... the levels of brainwashed ignorance out there
“You’re just paranoid. It’s the government’s job to protect us!”
I do find it kinda strange that there have been a string of disasters where relief or further prevention have been denied in some way. North Carolina, Hawaii, now California.
all those taxes paid in piss-soaked California, and no water in the hydrants...
I used to wonder where all the tax money to upkeep the schools went to when I lived there. The schools were in terrible shape, in need of repair and more, despite a wealthy tax base, but the money wasn't going where it was supposed to go. I had a really strong sense that the state "leaders" were corrupt as hell and, of course, even the mere sight of Feinstein or Pelosi used to make my skin crawl. Something very evil about them. Add slick little Newscum to that lineup - and so many others downstream as well.
Good people of California?
Santa Barbara, a very intelligent though liberal community, many many decades ago set up their desalinization plant to be able to use sea water for their needs. Which includes battling fires. Has Pacific Palisades or Malibu or Palos Verdes etc etc, or Santa Monica, done the same? Hell no. Could have. Didn't.
Guess if they didn't discontinue weed abatement and back burns due to global warming, as well as route their water to Mexico they would not be in this predicament. Have a chick as a captain does not help
That's not a chick..it's a they/them disgrace with parasites in its brain. A real woman would never have sat back to watch her home burn away.

The hydrant system in the Marshall fire in Colorado a few years ago ran out of water by 8:30 pm. The volume draw requirement could not keep up with demand. Add in the elevation changes in the Palisades and the system is even more fragile.
Hydrant systems aren’t designed for this type of incident. They’re designed for a few structures burning along with domestic water supply.
I would think, then, that forest management should be a number one priority in areas like that. As I recall, you're a (full, part-time or retired) fire fighter yourself. Assuming there's going to be arsonists (loonies, antifa/politically motivated types, corporate minions, etc) in play, camp fire mishaps, even the occasional spark or lightning bolt, what do you think is the best way to avoid these tragedies?
.
Also, old (30 yrs) article, but what do you think of this?

.
Edit: Also, please read anon u/NewAllOverAgain comment, above regarding desalination. Is this something that could/should be used in any coastal areas that could be affected?
Wow…I had no idea there was arson for profit happening. Never heard of that in 10 years of firefighting, both structure and wildland.
That’s sick.
As for reducing the effect of the Palisade and Marshall type fires, mitigation and fire resistant building is key. Cutting grasses and shrubs low in the areas between homes helps a ton. Keeping a fire proof area around the house with gravel or stone. Sealing up siding, decks, vents, etc.
When weather and fire create 100+mph winds, embers are being blown into the smallest cracks and openings. It’s then fanned and ignites dry materials almost instantly. Spot fires are started well ahead of the fire front. Making it dangerous and/or impossible to fight the progress of the fire. It takes serious work to keep leaves, grass, pine needles, etc away from the foundation of the house, out of gutters, etc.
I couldn’t find any desalination info through that link. I worked a few days at a desalination plant in El Paso helping a friend prep the interpretative area for visitors years ago. It’s a great way to make potable water out of salt water. Super energy intensive (high pressure pumps to push water through super fine filter systems and therefore expensive.
Thanks for your reply and good suggestions. I always felt that Cali was reasonably solid with building codes where earthquakes were concerned, but it's been a long time since I lived there and my feeling is that one would have to be deliberately trying to destroy the state to get it to the point it is now (driving businesses and people out with crime, rampant homelessness and drugs, filth, fires, etc).
Anon u/NewAllOverAgain -- do you have any links for that desalination effort in Santa Barbara that you can share with us? (I'll go look now and see if I can dig some up, will post them below in this comment if I can find any).

Here's POTUS blaming the Governor's poor policies (regarding water) for why this latest inferno is out of control.

Edit -- The following articles address the desalination with respect to providing clean water, but are not geared towards a water supply specifically for the purpose of fighting fires.
