I watched the whole interview she did that led to her being fired. Respect to this woman, she stood up and didn’t allow her people to be blamed. Which they shouldn’t. But what did her in was going against the mayor. She showed the media multiple memos she had written to the mayor to address the issues; staffing, stations, hydrants. If you watch her face during the interview she knows that it’s the end of her career with LA, not based on her actions but by not backing the mayor. There was no stopping that fire once it got going, too much wind. And of course they ran out of water, if you have an engine hooked up to every hydrant in the city what do you expect?
Not only every hydrant in the city, consider that every house that burned down also had a water connection with a 1" or 1.5" water pipe just flowing uncontrollably once the house is gone.
