The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has hired top law firms to protect themselves from lawsuits by residents who blamed the spread of the Palisade fire, particularly as the Santa Inez reservoir was almost empty.
As Breitbart News noted, the 117 million gallon reservoir is due to many warnings about dry conditions and the massive amount of brushes that serve as fuel to accelerate wildfires, during last month's fires It was down for maintenance.
The LADWP has taken several precautions, including cutting grass on land owned in residential areas, but many residents are due to a lack of water that prevents firefighters from responding appropriately to the flames. I made that wrong.
now, Los Angeles Times According to reports, LADWP holds a top local law firm at nearly $2,000 an hour, defending itself against anticipated court cases.
As reported last month by Breitbart News, several prominent residents, including reality TV stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, filed lawsuits against LADWP, denounced the spread of wildfires into their homes.
Thousands of homes were destroyed in the Pallisard fire, which burned about 24,000 acres. On the east side of LA County, the Eton Fire burned about 14,000 acres. In both cases there was a lack of water.
