    EXCERPT:

    CRISWELL: "You know, I'll defer to the experts in California about what they were using and what impact that had. I do know that that there were so many fire starts at the same time and that it really did put a strain on the water system in the early hours and early days of this firefighting effort. But they know exactly what they had worked with. And the investigation, I‘m sure, will show additional information. I think the biggest thing is to still focus on the fact that we still have fires to put out, and that they‘re bringing in the resources necessary to help them do that."
