  • Devastating wildfires in Los Angeles are overwhelming firefighting resources, especially water supplies. The city's water systems are depleted, leading firefighters to resort to unconventional methods like using ocean water, despite the corrosive and environmentally damaging effects of saltwater on equipment and ecosystems. This highlights the scale of the disaster and the limitations of current infrastructure in combating such large-scale wildfires. The use of ocean water also raises concerns about long-term ecological consequences.
