hydrant

During the Palisades fire, crews reported that scores of fire hydrants ran dry or suffered from low pressure, while a reservoir in the area sat empty as the fire burned.

The Cybertruck careened instead into a fire hydrant, then a tree, before bursting into flames.

Such improvements are intended to prevent the sort of problems firefighters encountered as hydrants lost pressure and ran dry in some areas.

The car struck a fire hydrant and a tree on Corbin Avenue in Reseda and caught fire with Arenas inside.

According to KTLA, the pursuit began about 9:30 a.m. near Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street when the truck hit a fire hydrant then fled police.
