Reservoir in Pacific Palisades was out of commission when fire started: LA Times

  • A large reservoir in Pacific Palisades was offline during a wildfire, leaving it empty when firefighters needed water the most.
  • The Santa Ynez Reservoir, capable of holding 117 million gallons, was closed for repairs, which likely contributed to low water pressure in upper areas.
  • Firefighters faced unprecedented demand for water, with four times the usual demand leading to dry hydrants and low pressure.
  • Officials are evaluating the impact of the reservoir's absence, with civic leaders citing poor infrastructure as a contributing factor to the destruction of 5,300 homes.
