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."
