EXCERPT:
SCHIFF: "Well, my initial take, and I certainly want a full review of this so that I can form a more complete understanding of the matter, but my initial understanding is the reservoirs that the Palisades were drawing on, these 3 million-gallon reservoirs, were full at the initiation of these fires. But they're intended — frankly, they have the capacity to put out homes that maybe house multiple houses, not if the whole town is up in flames. And more particularly, not if the winds are so strong that aircraft can't fly. And this was the problem in the very beginning. The winds were hurricane force, up to 100 miles-an-hour winds. You can't fly in that, and you depend on being able to do water drops to put down those kind of flames.”
