All right, what about water availability? | |
I understand that was not an issue in Malibu, is that correct? | |
Was it water? | |
Yeah. | |
So, there was water. | |
We have several reservoirs that we use a lot. | |
Now, just an example, if we have one building burning, we could flow a thousand gallons a minute on that one building with the hose lays that we put in to stop it. | |
You can imagine 1,000 gallons per house we couldn't do, right? | |
So the amount of water we're flowing, there really is no water system that's going to keep that pace. | |
So we have to bring in water tenders, which are these big tank water tanks, you know, 2,500, 3,000-gallon trucks, and they'll come in, and that's what we have to do to compensate. | |
So they park out there and do it. | |
DWTP did a great job. | |
They brought in big water trucks for us, and we used them as basically mobile hydrants. | |

We were flowing just an amount of water that the system couldn't... | |
Okay. | |
Just because of how much water these firefighters are utilizing. | |
Okay. | |
All right. | |
Sounds good. | |
All right. |
