A crime wave of fire hydrant thefts in Los Angeles has been hindering fire fighters’ efforts to save lives and property, even before this week’s deadly fires broke out in the area.
Hundreds of L.A. fire hydrants have been stolen from the ground over the past two years, with the surge in thefts appearing to peak last June.
“Catalytic converters, bronze statues, copper wire: Nothing is safe from theft in Los Angeles. And as of the last couple years, you can now add fire hydrants to the list,” LAist reported at the time:
“Between January 2023 and May 2024, more than 300 fire hydrants were stolen from L.A. County streets, according to data from the Golden State Water Company, which manages the fire hydrants. That’s led to a $1.2 million loss for the company.”
“The first half of 2024, it’s just really ramped up,” the district’s the Golden State Water Company general manager, Kate Nutting, told The L.A. Times. more
LA Lesbian Fire Chief:
From reading comics for most of our lives, we agreed that fire hydrants are there only for the convenience of dogs. So we let the thefts of fire hydrants continue. It saved the city of Los Angeles millions of dollars in replacement costs.

Mayor Karen Bass has also come under scrutiny…
“$17.6 million was cut from the fire department’s budget to fund programs aiding undocumented immigrants and other city initiatives.”…Ref., J.D. Rucker, Discern TV, 1-10-2025…
Why isn’t Our apparently recently-indoctrinated Marxist convert not being tried for crimes against humanity, not to mention mass murder against his own Countrymen?
The incompetence is absolutely radiant!
Where the hell are they selling them? Mexico? If Dippty Do had half a brain he would issue an Executive Order regarding anyone possessing fire hydrants without proper paperwork will serve 19/11/29. You know the thieves do not grab them for keepsakes.
