They have water, and they can't fly planes because there are wind gusts to almost 100mph
Yes the wind is absolutely a serious problem. But there is news that they've run out of water or are running low in some areas, and some firefighters are saying there's no water at the pump. I'm guessing the cause is either the supply has been diminished or there's no power to create water pressure because electricity is shut down.
"Reports from local media in California have suggested that Los Angeles could be running low on water, after large resources were dedicated to fighting the fire in Palisades.
The first reports began with Fox11, which reported that the reservoir had not been properly filled ahead of the blaze. One report said that the fire department did not have enough water in the hydrants, with one local real estate developer telling Fox11: "You can't fight a fire without water."
