The Problem: Water Loss and Hydrant Failures During Severe Fire Events
The Palisades, Eaton, and Hurst fires from January 7–31, 2025, strained water systems, with the Palisades Fire rendering 20% of hydrants ineffective for firefighting due to burst pipes and $4.7 billion in damages. Eaton and Hurst faced similar challenges amid drought and 100 mph Santa Ana winds. Fire Flow Innovations addresses this critical vulnerability across Southern California.
Key Stats:
-
16,000+ homes destroyed across Palisades, Eaton, and Hurst.
-
20% of hydrants were rendered ineffective for firefighting in Palisades.
-
1.11M gallons* potentially lost from 2,667–2,981 leaking homes with PEX/PVC in Palisades, per estimates.
