The reality is that those reservoirs being full or ten times the size would have made little difference.

The reservoir was offline because it was not able to maintain the sanitary requirements needed to store safe drinking water.

"Was Palisades Reservoir Empty When The Fire Started? Fact-Checking Viral Claim

California Senator Adam Schiff told ABC News recently that the Palisades Reservoirs were full of water when the deadly wildfires broke out across Los Angeles. "My initial understanding is the reservoirs that the Palisades were drawing on, these three-million-gallon reservoirs, were full at the initiation of these fires." However, officials said that a 117-million-gallon water storage complex has been vacant for over a year, since the Santa Ynez Reservoir has been closed since February for cover repairs."

No ongoing construction in evidence...

"Former DWP general manager Martin Adams told the Times that having the reservoir would have helped fight the Palisades Fire.

An LAFD source told The Daily Mail that DWP officials said "Had it not been closed they probably would have been okay and had enough water for the fire."
