KFI a.m. 640. You're listening to the John Cobalt podcast on the IHeart Radio app.

We are on every day from one until four, then after four o'clock, John Cobalt show on

the IHart app. And that's the podcast, same as the radio show. So whatever you missed, you can listen

to it there. We are beyond loaded today. I'm going to get right into it.

Los Angeles Times had a story they broke at about 8.30 this morning.

And the story is that there is a large reservoir in Pacific Palisades,

a 117 million gallon water storage complex in the heart of Pacific Palisades.

It was dry.

It was closed for repairs.

It's called the Santa Anaz Reservoir.

117 million gallon water storage.

Give you an idea how huge that is.

When the fire happened, there were three storage tanks firefighters were using.

The three storage tanks each held a million gallons each.

That's three million gallons total.

And in 17 hours, those three tanks ran dry and

they couldn't be refilled fast enough to be useful and fire hydrants were dry and that's part

of the reason that the fire burned so furiously out of control.

The firefighters didn't have water as a weapon to douse the fire. And then we find

out now three days later, there was a 117 million gallon storage complex. They had 3 million,

and it ran dry in a day. 117 million? It's hard to believe.

We're going to talk now with Martin Adams.
