During a recent fire incident in Pasadena, the availability of water posed a challenge for firefighters on Tuesday night. However, Fire Chief Chad Augustin emphasized that even with ample water supply, the blaze would have been difficult to contain due to adverse weather conditions.
Chief Augustin revealed that multiple city blocks were engulfed in flames, prompting the deployment of over 100 fire engines to pump water. This high demand for water put a strain on the city's water system, exacerbated by a temporary power outage that affected the water supply.
