As fire hydrants went dry while crews battled flames in Pacific Palisades, Donald Trump pointed the finger at California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The article discusses former President Donald Trump's comments on the wildfires in Los Angeles, where he criticized the city's management of fire hydrants, claiming they were not functioning properly due to neglect. Trump suggested that the hydrants were not maintained, leading to insufficient water pressure during the fires. However, the article refutes these claims by citing local fire department officials who confirmed that the hydrants were operational and that the issue was not with the hydrants but with the broader firefighting strategy and resources. The piece also touches on Trump's tendency to make unverified statements, using this incident as an example of how his comments often lack factual basis and can mislead the public. Additionally, it highlights the complexities of managing wildfires, which involve more than just the availability of water from hydrants.
