The Santa Inez reservoir was at the top of the Palisades and holds 300 Acre feet or 100,000,000 gallons of water. Yes, those fire hydrants could have put a LOT more water on homes if it was full during peak fire season with a red flag warning. Epic fail.

Should the LAFD have staged crews and choppers at the ready to douse any fires quickly at the ignition point before they become raging firestorms knowing that this was a red flag event with extremely dry and overgrown vegetation? It took 45 minutes from the 911 call to get the first chopper on scene at the point of ignition. Sorry guys, not fast enough. It's a 10 minute chopper flight from LAX to the Palisades fire. Epic fail.

An absence of leadership all around.
