fire hydrant

When the system lost pressure in parts of Pacific Palisades, some fire hydrants in high-elevation areas ran dry.

The investigation was initially billed as a look at the city’s emergency preparations, including the lack of water in a nearby reservoir and in neighborhood fire hydrants the night of the fire.

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.

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