How the LA Fires are Made Worse by The Water Infrastructure

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis, highlights a critical failure in Los Angeles’ water infrastructure, revealed during the Palisades Park wildfires. Firefighters were unable to access adequate water pressure from hydrants, a problem likely mirrored in cities across the U.S. McIntyre warns that outdated and fragile water systems could hinder responses to future catastrophes, particularly as climate change increases the frequency and intensity of urban disasters. This systemic issue could have far-reaching consequences for cities nationwide.
