“None of us were aware of any water issues, including the reservoir,” the firefighter said.
Mr Gibson asked whether the fire brigade was aware that “the reservoir was empty”.

Gibson toured the ruins of her Malibu home on Wednesday, where nearly everything was destroyed. He recalled in a previous interview that he returned to “nothingness.”
The firefighter said there was water initially, but added that his team’s water ran out “pretty quickly.”
“It’s not unusual to lose water in a shootout, but it was surprising early in the game.”
Mr Gibson previously questioned whether the “favorable” circumstances surrounding the fire were “commissioned”, to which he replied: “Yes, because they didn’t exist.” And no one told you. That’s the crazy part. ”
The firefighter said his team quickly had “a lot of supplies” in place as the devastating bushfire progressed.

He recalled in a previous interview that while filming a podcast with Joe Rogan in Texas, his $14.5 million mansion in Malibu burned down and he returned to “nothingness.”
Gibson said that while filming, she knew her neighborhood was on fire and wondered if her home was still standing.
He added: “I was doing Logan’s podcast… and [I was] While we were talking, I felt uneasy. I knew my neighborhood was on fire and wondered if my house was still there.
“But when I got home, sure enough, it wasn’t there. I went home and told myself, at least I don’t have that nasty plumbing problem anymore.”
After learning his home was about to be destroyed, the actor rushed back to his Malibu mansion with his son to grab what he could before everything was reduced to ashes.
He told Fox News last week that the two escaped with only his passport and a few other important documents, and that his artwork and books, some of which were valuable and dating from the 16th century, were missing. He said it was destroyed in the flames.
“It reminds me of old cattle owners who used to drive people off their land. I don’t know…not having water just seemed a little convenient,” he said.
“The wind conditions and the fact that there were people who were ready, willing and able to start a fire. And were they asked to do it or were they just of their own volition? Is it just acting?

The actor said he was “shocked” after his home was gutted in the devastating fire.
“You can make up conspiracy theories and all kinds of scary theories in your head, but not having water just seemed a little convenient,” Gibson said. “And that means the wind conditions are right and there are people who are ready and willing to start a fire.”
Gibson previously theorized on Fox News with Laura Ingraham whether the catastrophic fire was “commissioned” to evict people from valuable property.
“You can make up conspiracy theories and all kinds of scary theories in your head, but not having water just seemed a little convenient,” Gibson said.
“And that the wind conditions are right and there are people who are ready and willing to start a fire.”
“I know they’re letting go of their reserves for some reason and it’s gone along with the water. They’ve been doing that for a while. There’s a lot of people in California who are scratching their heads wondering why they would do something like this. There are many such problems.”
“And in an event like this, you think, well, is that on purpose? Oh my god, that’s insane. But you start thinking about whether there’s a purpose in the mind. What is it? What are they doing? Do you want an empty state?’
Firefighters said teams were quickly equipped with “a lot of supplies” as the devastating bushfire progressed.
The actor told Ingraham: “I always suspect this might happen.
“The idea is that the resources and capabilities of men and women are on standby and will be able to handle any situation that arises, but apparently some people fell asleep on the job, mainly our leaders. .”
“But that’s what they have to endure. But it’s what the community has to endure, and that’s really sad.”
The Los Angeles fires have killed at least 25 people and forced more than 180,000 to evacuate.
