Lack of water from hydrants in Palisades fire is hurting firefighters, Caruso says

"There's no water in the fire hydrants," Caruso said. "The firefighters are there [in the neighborhood], and there's nothing they can do - we've got neighborhoods burning, homes burning, and businesses burning. ... It should never happen."

Caruso, a former commissioner of the city's Board of Water and Power, contended that the problem stemmed from the issues with the reservoirs that feed the neighborhood's hydrants. "This is a window into a systemic problem of the city - not only of mismanagement, but our infrastructure is old," Caruso said.
