Description

Los Angeles' water chief reportedly knew about an empty reservoir and broken fire hydrants months before the deadly wildfires now spreading across the city that have left some communities in ashes. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) CEO Janisse Quiñones was reportedly hired by Mayor Karen Bass on a $750,000 salary in May. Now, LA Fire Department insiders are blaming Quiñones for a nearby reservoir disconnection and broken fire hydrants, the outlet reports, claiming this has led to firefighters running out of water. Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss of the Due Dissidence podcast talk discuss the myriad failures currently being placed at Quiñones’ feet as a result of the devastating LA fires.
