Palisades Fire victims told they had to pay for new fire hydrant in order to rebuildPACIFIC PALISADES, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- As if losing your home of 34 years wasn't bad enough, the rebuilding process for Pacific Palisades residents Chris and Jeff Spitz has been anything but smooth.
And please contact LADWP to get a cost estimate for what you'll have to pay to build and install this new hydrant,'" Jeff Spitz recalled.
Imagine losing your home of decades in a fire and then being asked to cough up $35,000 to pay for a fire hydrant before rebuilding.
All of the homes in the neighborhood, especially the homes closer to the fire hydrant, burned in the Palisades Fire.
Park represents Pacific Palisades and arranged a meeting with the Los Angeles Fire Department and Los Angeles Department of Water and Power last month to resolve this issue.
