Former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick criticized California's handling of the recent wildfires, questioning the state's water resources and suggesting Governor Gavin Newsom should resign.
Former NASCAR star Danica Patrick questioned the water supply situation faced by firefighters battling the California wildfires. Multiple wildfires erupted across the Los Angeles area on Tuesday and Wednesday, fueled by strong winds. The intense blazes put a significant strain on the city's water system, according to FOX Weather.
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) CEO, Janisse Quiñones, stated that teams struggled to maintain water pressure, impacting the water supply to fire hydrants. Captain Sheila Kelliher Berkoh of the Los Angeles County Fire Department explained that the system wasn't designed for such prolonged, heavy usage. Patrick expressed her bewilderment on X, asking why California, with its extensive coastline and numerous lakes and reservoirs, couldn't adequately address the fires. She even suggested that Governor Gavin Newsom should resign, using the derogatory term 'Newscum' reminiscent of former President Donald Trump's language towards Newsom. By Wednesday evening, another fire broke out near the Hollywood Walk of Fame, with Captain Sheila Kelliher describing the scorched hillsides as 'dramatic and apocalyptic.' She witnessed wind gusts reaching up to 100 miles per hour, exacerbating the fire situation
