but solutions aren't.

leaving a 117,000,000 gal reservoir empty for a year isn't a solution

"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."

I don't firefighters are going to be on foot in the line facing 50 to 70 MPH winds blowing embers, branches and other flaming material from homes and businesses going up in a firestorm.

It's just way way too lethal for them.
