As wildfires ravage the Pacific Palisades, LA fire crews run out of water due to years of mismanagement and underfunding. The city's water system struggles to keep up with the massive demand, resulting in devastating losses. Multiple blazes in LA County, fueled by hurricane-force winds, have destroyed over 1,000 homes. The fire spread to 16,000 acres by Wednesday night. Residents express outrage over the city’s failure to adequately prepare, while Mayor Karen Bass faces criticism for being on vacation during the crisis.
