Soooo when is it NOT Fire Season??? Franklin fire in Malibu CA

Did ya read it? Yes, a lack of water in the local tanks - but the system is designed for that, but the draw was so great that there wasn’t enough pressure to move reserve water into the depleted tanks.

Clearly the system wasn’t designed for the demand experienced in this event - which is a flaw that should be corrected. But the system had plenty of water (per these reports at least).
Doesn't some of the issue also have to do with the system having been originally built for a fraction of the homes and population now reliant upon it?
