The fire that cannot be extinguished in the U.S. is being taken to court.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has requested an independent investigation regarding the water shortages experienced during the ongoing firefighting efforts in Los Angeles.

REQUESTED AN INVESTIGATION

In a post on his social media account, Newsom addressed issues such as the malfunctioning fire hydrants and water supply problems. Emphasizing that such issues should not occur again, Newsom highlighted the need for answers and thus an investigation to ensure that all resources are available to combat the fires. He stated that he has requested an independent investigation into problems such as the lack of water pressure in fire hydrants during firefighting and the inability to supply water from the Santa Ynez Reservoir.

A REPORT WILL BE PREPARED

Newsom stated that he has directed the state's water and fire officials to prepare a report investigating the causes of the loss of water source and water pressure in municipal water systems during the fires, noting that the report will also include measures to be taken to avoid such issues in the future. He requested a comprehensive review from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and city officials to document the reasons for the loss of water pressure and the unavailability of water sources to ensure the existing water supply for emergencies.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna announced that a curfew would be imposed in the Palisades and Eaton areas affected by the fire. Luna stated that those who violate the curfew would be prosecuted for "misconduct" and could face a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment if found guilty. Los Angeles Police Department Assistant Chief Dominic Choi also reported that a total of 210 police officers have been assigned to maintain law and order in the affected areas.

Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Maroney pointed out yesterday that they detected a "drone violation" in the fire area, warning that "flying drones in the fire zone is not only dangerous but also illegal." Maroney stated that federal forces would monitor drone flights, indicating that flying drones in these areas would mean the suspension of all air operations. More than 10,000 structures have been damaged or rendered completely unusable in the fires.
