LAFD and DEI hiring practices
Los Angeles Fire Departmen gave priority to equity and inclusion and now the city is burning under the management of a DEI hire. They went woke and now they don´t even have working fire hydrants.

How did "wokeness" contribute to an empty reservoir?

Stop dissing the people who actually manned the fire hoses and risked their lives fighting the fires.
If you want to point fingers, I just gave you something to point at.
A large reservoir in Pacific Palisades that is part of the Los Angeles water supply system was out of use when a ferocious wildfire destroyed thousands of homes and other structures nearby, The Times found.
Officials said that the Santa Ynez Reservoir had been closed for repairs to its cover, leaving a 117 million gallon water storage complex empty in the heart of the Palisades.
The revelation comes among growing questions about why firefighters ran out of water while battling the blaze. The Times reported early Wednesday that numerous fire hydrants in higher-elevation streets of the Palisades went dry, leaving firefighters struggling with low water pressure as they combated the flames.
