The fast-moving Canyon Fire has jumped from Ventura into Los Angeles County, prompting evacuation warnings as flames race toward neighborhoods. At the same time, Granada Hills and Porter Ranch are battling a major water outage—leaving residents and even horses at Hillcrest Ranch desperate for relief, with some animals needing up to 20 gallons a day just to survive.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KMF I Am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Oh boy,
I'll tell you this is the biggest fear right now
of the people live in Granada Hills because their fire
hydrants are out. Fortunately, this fire is not in that area.
(00:24):
Let me be clear, This is not a fire in
that area. This is a this is a way you know,
further north off the five Freeway. But this is the
fear that people have over the summer because look, we're
still all in shock over what happened in January in
in you know, early January and January seventh. It was
(00:46):
a nightmare for it, you know, for hundreds of thousands
of people. And I'll tell you this kind of thing
when this happens in this kind of heat and everybody panics.
You know, everybody is is looking around and thinking, you
know that they're they're next. And and you have a
good reason to think that way, because nobody in Pacific
(01:08):
Palisades woke up on January sixth or early on January
seventh and said, hey, you know this, uh this might
be uh you know, the day, you know, might be
my turn. Nobody and Nobody ever, ever predicted that the
entire community of Alta Dina and parts of Arcadia and
parts of Pasadena Pacific Palisades in Malibu would burn like that. Nobody.
(01:30):
And so we've got to keep we've got to keep,
you know, pay attention to these uh, you know, these fires,
especially especially when there's you know, very little water or
zero water coming out of the North Valley. So it's
let's turn on. I think Channel four was on it.
Do we still have Alex Stone? Is he still with us,
(01:51):
Alex or is is he going okay? Alex Stone was
gonna come on and talk about United Airlines. United Airlines
is working, get on back back on track today and
so but but this fire is huge, and the story
going on in grenad Hills and Porter Ranch is a
huge story. So hopefully we can get the Alex Stone
(02:12):
on a little later. Sorry Alex, but this uh, this
fire is scaring the hell out of a lot of people.
It's hot outside and if you go to you know,
the best thing you can do in southern California is
get yourself. You got to get the the app that
that you can you know, monitor these fires. It's called
(02:34):
watch duty. Watch duty is the best app. You click
on it and it has all these fires instantaneously, ready
to roll and to talk about them. Every single fire
that pops up, in this case, the Canyon fire is
on the app and it gives you all the information,
all the important information you need. This could save your life.
This watch app, it's the Canyon fire. It's uh. This
(02:58):
is updated a couple of minutes ago vent Turro County,
the Piru area, Lake Pyrou. It seems to be always
burning up in that area. And if you're on the
five Freeway you can probably see the smoke. I think
we can see it if we look out the window.
We can probably see it from here as well. But
the fire has been mapped at one fifty one acres.
(03:18):
An additional radio traffic indicates that the fire is a
third mile from Hazley Canyon Road, and evacuations orders have
been issued in La County for let me see the
Romero area. I'm not sure where that is. And also
Sloan and Cass green Hill never heard of that either.
(03:42):
So we got that fire burning and that's going to
be a major story here today. Then up north in
central California, they're calling that the Gifford fire. That's the
major one that's almost at one hundred thousand acres ninety
eight thousand acres. And then the fires that been burning
up in the desert in the high desert. They're calling
(04:04):
that the Gold fire. That's the one that was burning
north of Big Bear. If you're literally on Big Bear
Lake and you went due north, directly north, that's the
fire that's burning in that area. So we got we
got a major, major stories going on here with the fire.
We've got the water that has not been turned on
yet for Granada Hills and at Porta Ranch area. I
(04:27):
went out there last night just to take a look around,
you know, because I work at KFI. You got to
get around and you got to see the story's firsthand
to find out what's going on. So I get to
I drive out there last night at around eight o'clock,
had some supper and went out there around eight o'clock,
took the five to the one eighteen, got off and
I was at Tampa and Ronaldi, I think is what
(04:49):
they call that street out there, and I go into
a seven eleven to grab a water, But what I
really was doing was going in there to see how
much water was left and I was shocked. There was
a ton of water left. So people are relying on
the free water that's been given out to our people
living in the area, but the water you have to
(05:11):
pay for at seven eleven, stacked to the ceiling water everywhere.
I couldn't believe it. So I bought two bottles of water.
It was two dollars. Two bottles for three dollars and
fifty cents. And I said, hey, can I get a bag?
And the guy says to me at seven eleven, he goes, ooh,
you're worried about getting rolled for your water. I'm like, no, no,
I just want I want to get a bag. I've
been in I didn't park around here, and I'm not
(05:32):
worried about getting rolled for my water. But it was
pretty funny. It got did a great sense of humor.
Normally you don't run into, you know, very funny people
who are working at seven eleven. All right, we got
a lot going on here. The Canyon Fire is is
right off the five freeway. If you're in Santa Clarita
and you're looking west, you can see the Canyon Fire.
(05:54):
It's right off the one twenty six, which is the
backway to Ventura and the five Freeway. If you are
at Magic Mountain, you can definitely see it and smell it.
That fire is very very close by. Magic Mountain is probably,
as the crow flies, less than a mile from the west,
the eastern flank of that fire, and that fire is
(06:18):
worrying a lot of people who live in that area,
very concerned about that thing growing. It started and it's
burning south We see southwest. It's burning southwest for the
majority of that fire. The one silver lining in this
fire is at Lake Piru, which is the lake just
north and west of this fire is a great source
(06:41):
of water for helicopters, the fixed wing and they're gonna
be able to dump a lot of water on it.
Conditions are perfect, it's not too windy. It's hotter than
hell out there. I imagine it's probably at least one
hundred degrees where this fire is burning. So we're going
to have reports on that all day long. We're going
to come back and talk about the water again. I
went out there last night, saw a bunch of guys
(07:02):
with Caltrans guys out there directing traffic, and then also
they had the DWP out there, Los Angeles Apartment of
Water and power, a lot of guys working on a
lot of equipment out there, and I don't know when
the water is going to come back on, but from
what I saw last night, I think you would be
(07:22):
extremely lucky to see it on by tomorrow. I think
we're looking at Saturday, Sunday, maybe Monday for this water
to come back on. And if you remember yesterday, it's
a valve that didn't open. They replaced a valve and
twenty four feet below the surface, but not just twenty
four feet in sand and dirt, big boulders surrounding this valve,
(07:47):
two oil lines that are current and use in use
right now, and one natural gas line. So when there's
a natural gas line and two oil pipelines crisscrossing within
feet of that valve, you cannot go down there with
heavy equipment because any kind of breakage of either any
(08:07):
of those any of those three lines and a spark
and it's over. It's over major explosion. So they've got
to be very careful with this. It might take some time.
They're going to do it carefully, hopefully quickly and get
you back your water, because right now, if you live
in that area, there's ninety eight hundred homes without sprinklers,
without drinking water, without showers, without toilets, and without hydrants.
(08:33):
The hydrants are not working in that area. One hundred
degrees out fire burning north of you. We just updated that.
By the way, what's the pirroum more than a thousand? Now? Oh,
it's now more than a thousand. Wow. Okay, all right,
that is exploding that fire. We're going to have updates
all night long or all afternoon long here on the
Piru fire. They're calling it the Canyon fire. So remember
(08:56):
that they're calling this is the Canyon fire. One thousand,
fifty one acres. That's right, Crosch is exactly correct, one
fifty one acres. Evacuation orders Level one evacuation orders in
Ventura County. La County also level two, and I think
the level two in that area is north of that fire. Yeah,
(09:16):
north and west of that north and east of that fire.
Not yet in Santa Clarita or Valencia, but Casteak, all
those areas Casteak Industry, and then you have Cambridge Hillcrest
and Sloan and also Greenhill as well. All of those
areas are voluntary evacuation right now. But if you go
(09:40):
west of that and you get into Romero and also
Valverde and Oaks Canyon. Those are all mandatory and so
you're going to be asked to leave, and once you leave,
you can't go back. It's the Canyon Fire, one fifty
one acres and it's going to be a long day,
a long night for everyone that lives in the Santa
(10:00):
Clarita area and the surrounding area. It's Conway Show. We're
live on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
KFI AM six forty. It is the Conway Show where
keep an eye on the fires. We're also keeping an
eye on Granada Hills. We'll tell you if that water
comes back on. Lots going on. But the Canyon fire
is what they're calling that. It is up near Lake Casteak,
Lake Piru. It is west of the five Freeway and
west of Santa Clarita and Valencia and Hope. It says
(10:35):
that way Saugust. It's west of all that crap. So
Michael Monks is here. We've got Monks. How you buff him? Well,
you know when when we booked you on the show
or you booked yourself. I don't know what the process is.
There was no news going on. It was just, you know,
just the news with the water.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
You know, belly O comes into me every day what
you got, And sometimes I'm like, yeah, I don't know
if Conway's gonna be in it, because I can tell
when the life leaves your eyes and you're bored with me.
So now I've learned, like what's pitch? And sometimes like
I got nothing? But you know, it's like we can
come back on and talk about the water situation because
you've been all over yeah, investigative reporters night.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah. But then I mean, it has hit the fan.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
We've got this water thing ongoing, this massive fire in
the Ventura, La counting line. And by the way, just
down the wires, the Trump administration has decided to go
to the Supreme Court with the local federal district judge
that stopped the immigration raids based on race and language
and location that came down too.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
So it has gotten very busy, very fast. How soon
will the Supreme Court hear that? That's if they take
it up at all. I have no idea. They may
just remand it back to the lower courts. That is
a temporary restraining order. You know, we have to get
in like release specifics on that case. We saw that
raid at the home depot yesterday that a lot of
people think was in violation of this court order. Yeah,
(11:52):
it was a little suspicious.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
We haven't learned any new details about what motivated that
or what intelligence they had to to go about that.
But this is a temporary restraining order. It could turn
into a longer order. A hearing at the district court
level has been scheduled on that anyway for late September,
so that's still ongoing.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
All right, So Monks by the way host every Saturday,
you know, from seven to nine pm, what's the latest
on this water up in Grenade Hills. It's a mess.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I mean, I think about nine thousand plus customers, right,
how many people that represents families that are looking up
there have been without water since Tuesday night because of this.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Oh, I didn't know it was Tuesday nights. What's today?
Wednesday was?
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yeah, they were working on this thing on Tuesday. Oh
my god, this was a you know the water Cruise MELODYWP.
We're conducting some repair work at a pump station on Tuesday.
This pump station connects to a ten million gallon water
tank that serves that entire area, and they found a
valve that controls the flow of the water failed to open.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Oh god, Now whose fault is that? Is that DWPS
or the manufacture of that valve.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
It's probably the utilities, but you know, they can blame
it on everybody aging infrastructure apparently. And I'm going to
let you hear from Janice Qinonez, the general manager of LEDWP.
She can explain why this is such a challenging situation.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
At the same time, our crews are working to remove
the valve that fail to restore waterflow to the tank.
The location of the valve is twenty four feet deep
and the repairs are very complex. They have been working
since last night and this morning. They found two oil pipelines,
active pipelines, a gas line, and lash boulders that have
(13:35):
complicated our excavation efforts because we cannot use heavy equipment
until those lines are clear. We're working with the owners
of those lines to clear the pipeline so we can
continue the excavation.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
So did you hear that oil pipelines down there? Gas
and big boulders. So I heard you say at the
top of the show that this utility was hoping to
get this done maybe by tomorrow, but you're suspecting it's
going to be later on the weekend. They even conceded
that it's probably going to go at least through the weekend.
The city, the utility, they brought out all kinds of
water to these folks, not just for the purpose of drinking,
(14:10):
but to wash yourself, to use the restroom, to even
do your laundry.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
So they're trying to help out.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I know we got to take a break, but I
did want to let you know because you expressed some
concern about the fire situation and the fire department because
they use that water til here is ian to drive
La City Fire Department Captain Eric Scott explaining how they
think they're in good shape.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
So to maintain firefighting readiness, we've pre deployed additional resources
and had them strategically positioned in the affected areas of
Porter Ranch and Granada Hills. And so this includes two
three engine task forces, so that's a total of six
additional fire engines. Each of them have five hundred gallons
of water. We have two twenty five hundred gallon LAFD
(14:54):
water tenders. We have an additional water tender from the
Park and Rangers and five water ten from LADWP and
those can hold over four thousand gallons, So we have
a lot of additional water out O good in case
there's a problem.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
So it sounds like they're on it. Yeah, it sounds
like they are ready. Maybe I was born and raised
probably as the crow fly, six miles from where this
is happening. And I'm going to give you my best
guest amit on when water is going to be coming back? Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Is that reflected by your heritage there or by your
experience with city government? A little bit of both, A
little bit of both.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah, Thanksgiving, maybe maybe Halloween okay, but not tomorrow. It's
not gonna be tomorrow. Monks, thanks seven o'clock on Saturday.
And also real quickly. I don't know if you ever
talk about this or even reveal this on the air,
but Monks is a confectionist.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Monks make Shannon is Shannon Farn's obsessed with this that
I do ice cream with the spouse and we make
candy as well. And I've got a dream, maybe like
you get going we hit the road up to venture
open up a little shop live on the coast, got
them sell candy and ice cream to the tourist and
the families of Ventura.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
And still Panda's on Wednesday. Yeah, and looked out here
doing some live hits with you. All right, all right,
Michael Monks Saturday now seven to nine pm. Will come
back with the updates on the fire and also what's
going on in Granada Hills with the water lots going on.
On KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Two. Major stories. We're working on. The fire up lake
near Lake Piru. We're working on that. That is a
major story. They're calling it the Canyon fire, one fifty
one acres burning west of Santa Clarita. I know we
have a huge listenership in Santa Clarita, one of the
(16:43):
most beautiful cities in the world. I wanted to move
up there, my wife wanted to be closer to family,
and I think we've made a mistake of not flding
up there. I'll always regret them. But then we have
Granada Hills where ninety seven ninety eight hundred customers without water,
no showers, no drinking, no, no topping off your pool,
(17:04):
can't water your lawn, can't do anything, can't feed the animals.
There's a lot of horse property up there, and if
you have horses, they drink a lot. I imagine a
horse could drink four or five six gallons of water
a day.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Yeah. Somebody said at Hillcrest Ranch they need twenty gallons
per horse.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
You know that.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
I wasn't clear about them. Okay, and you know John
Cobolt made a great point. Ninety two hundred customers, but
that could be like twenty thousand people, you know you.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Mean, yeah, right, nine two hundred homes or yeah, right right,
because a family of six they count that as one,
right exactly. Yeah, John made that point.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
Yeah, wow, Cobalt, John Cobalt.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I gotta listen to the show. When does he come on?
Speaker 7 (17:49):
He's on one to four, right, and then you can
podcast at four?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Don't start bell? Yeah, please, you're on this program? You
mean like right now?
Speaker 4 (17:57):

Speaker 7 (17:57):
Like they could go to.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I heard the podcast is not up to the Should
I stop working on the podcast right now? Guys?
Speaker 7 (18:03):
Need we really need to do.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah, dud, don't touch that podcast?
Speaker 7 (18:08):
Could podcast Conways show as well on the.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Guess right, you know we need more podcasters because we're
losing out. We're always number two and now we're number
three here five.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
We really need the help of our please podcast show
preset us as number one.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Thank you, thank you very much. All right, the water outage.
Here's the latest. What we know when it comes to
the water outage up in the North Valley.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
Well, work cruise admit it's going to be a minute
before that valve is fixed, but they've got a temporary
fix that they believe that can get the water flowing
to everyone as soon as tomorrow. And you're looking at
that temporary fix right there, these giant hoses. Water is
flowing through those hoses right now, going all the way
to a big tank, and work crews say, once that
(18:53):
tank fills up, they believe they can get water flow
into everyone as soon as.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
All right, here we go tomorrow. That's the day.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
Work crews on the job, humming along at a fever's pace.
Tons of equipment laid out all of this to get
the taps flowing again. Frustrated and thirsty residents lining up
early this morning to get free cases of bottled water.
Speaker 9 (19:12):
I'm number twenty one, and the line is I can't
see the end of the line.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
More than nine thousand, Why do you care? You're twenty one?
You know you're number twenty one.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
I'm number twenty one.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
There you go, Forever twenty one? Isn't that the name
of that line? Didn't they go to business for ever
twenty one? Did they? Yeah? I think they did. They
have a go to business or just bankrupt or yeah.
I think they just said screw it. But they have
a plus size store that I also think went out
of business that they ran. So what'd you say about? Oh,
(19:45):
it's called forever to twenty one.
Speaker 9 (19:49):
You know, and the line is, I can't see the
end of the line.
Speaker 8 (19:56):
More than nine thousand residents in Porter Ranch and Granada
Hills have been without running water since Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Nine thousand homes, but as John Colbol pointed out, that
could be twenty thousand people, very very.
Speaker 10 (20:07):
Hard because we are five family member. No water is
just like amusing the pool water for that toilet.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Oh we got a pool. I don't know why you're complaining.
Most people don't have pools. That's that's such a typical,
like la you complaint like, oh, we're out of water. Well,
how about the ten thousand gallons in your backyard?
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I know, but that's for the pool, right, that's the pool.
Speaker 10 (20:34):
Water and the water for washing the face. And it's hard.
Speaker 8 (20:39):
The taps went dry when the Department of Water and
Power says a valve that controls the flow of water
from a pump station that connects to a ten million
gallon water tank failed to open and water was cut off.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Yeah, there's gonna be an investigation as to what happened
with that valve. Is it DWP's fault or the manufacture
of that valve, because I'm sure they don't manufure their
own valves. I'm positive they don't.
Speaker 8 (21:02):
The broken valve is more than twenty feet underground. Whoa
getting to it? It's very tough as where crews continue
the excavation process. They have to navigate around oil and
gas pipelines, a critical fiber optic line, and large boulders
to finally get to the problem and fix it.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Good idea. Put all those lines on top of each other. Oh,
is the water back on it? Is that Granada Hills
finally flushing?
Speaker 11 (21:28):
Nah?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Oh, that's our microphone here in the men's room.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
You have a temporary fix that will allow everyone to
have the taps flowing by tomorrow, but you need residents
who have any measure of water to participate, and that
is by not using water to pressurize, so you can
have enough water in the system to pressurize it to
get the taps flowing by tomorrow.
Speaker 12 (21:52):
Correct.
Speaker 11 (21:53):
Correct, we're asking the customers to not use water.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Well, well, who the customers in the surrounding area are
the customers that don't have water, I don't know. They're
not very exact about.
Speaker 11 (22:03):
That, even if they see water flowing in their faucets,
because the goal is to fill the tank, and if
we have any water usage, it's gonna slow down the
fill of the tank.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
You know, I was there last night. I drove out
there on my own dime. By the way, I paid
for gas and you know, went on my own time,
off hours, you know, no overtime, just out investigating. Here
are here, Thank you, Thank you for waiting for them.
And I noticed that the guy across on Bernaldi, across
the street, he had all thirty sprinklers roaring. He didn't
(22:34):
care he was outside the zone. He had water and
he was using it. Thirty sprinklers all drenching the lawn
and running into the street totally and screw it.
Speaker 11 (22:45):
Once we filled the tank, we can provide water to
all residents.
Speaker 12 (22:48):
In the area.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
There you go, all right, let's fill that tank. Fill
that tank, y'all.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
Heards that right, So you folks who are living in
this neck of the woods, you've got a trickle of
water right now. The DWP folks as need to shut
it off so that they can keep that water flowing
through these giant hoses to that big tank and fill
it up and get it pressurized to get water to
everyone hopefully by tomorrow live in gran out of Hills.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Le'll start with ab se Yeah, all wars man, that
guys great, all right, we gotta take a break. We're
going to keep an eye on the fire, the canyon
fire out there over one thousand acres, and also what's
going on with the water in Granad Hills. Two big
stories really in the same area, you know, the North Valley.
I'd say, that fire and that water outager within as
(23:33):
the crow flies maybe four miles maybe four and a
half five miles from one another. So lots going on
that area. You're gonna hear emergency alert system on all
day long. Civil Authority is issued a fire warning for
the following counties La County at four oh six pm
today and that's going to be effective until eight o
six pm, So you're gonna see those and hear those
(23:54):
all days. Well, lot going on.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Forty near Lake Piru Lake Cast Steak Area. Keep an
eye on that. It's over one hundred degrees and that's
not a great combination heat and fire. No good. And
then the water outage up in Granada Hills. We're keeping
eye on that as well. Soon as that pops open, man,
you'll hear it first right here on KFI. But we
(24:22):
have a young lady, her name is Tomorrow and she
boards horses at Hill Chris Ranch in Granada Hills and
since the early nineteen nineties, so good for her, and
she's with us tomorrow tomorrow.
Speaker 12 (24:36):
How you hello, I'm doing okay.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Thanks, And you've been up there for what the better
part of thirty almost forty years?
Speaker 12 (24:43):
Huh yeah, off and on, Yeah, I end up coming
back and we're going I need you.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Where is your ranch? What part of Granada Hills.
Speaker 12 (24:51):
It's it's on the north side of Rinaldi, so it's
Balboa and it's right on Zelza if that sounds exactly.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Yeah, Balbo and Zelza you know, go north south throughout
the valley.
Speaker 12 (25:10):
So yeah, we're right on Veelsa up right just above Vernaldi.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Okay, and your water is off?
Speaker 12 (25:18):
Yes, the water is off?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
And how how long has it been off?
Speaker 12 (25:23):
So it was still on yesterday and we were able
to fill up some buckets that we had just to
try and plan ahead because we didn't know what was
going to happen. So it was still on yesterday and
as of this morning, I believe it shut off and
I'm not sure exactly what time, but whatever was still
(25:43):
coming through because we have automatic water set up for
our horses, whatever was still coming through was not nice,
you know, and they had this boil oil only for
the people that had, you know, water still coming in,
and we're like, we're a ranch. That's not even an
option here. So I had to do a lot of
stuff today to take care of our horses because the
(26:05):
DWP is doing absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
How many horses do you own?
Speaker 12 (26:10):
I only own one personally, but there's about forty here
at the ranch.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Oh you got oh, I see you're boarding them for
other people.
Speaker 12 (26:16):
No, I'm I am not the owner of the ranch.
I'm just a border here and i'm sking for the owner.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah, okay, all right, I'm you know, there's there's non
learners and slow learners tomorrow, I'm a slow learner.
Speaker 12 (26:31):
That's okay. You just didn't have all the pieces to
the Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
So how many gallons of water can a typical healthy
horse drink a day?
Speaker 12 (26:41):
In a day?
Speaker 4 (26:42):
What?
Speaker 12 (26:43):
Twenty to thirty?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I would say, really, yeah, twenty thirty, So that's two
hundred and forty pounds of water a day.
Speaker 12 (26:53):
It's I mean, they can drink that much normally. Normally
horses that are not being worked and they're just standing
in a stall might not drink that much. But you know,
they're a big n all day. Need to hydrate. Oh
my god, it's over one hundred degrees right, and you
got to hoe.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Them down to keep them cool too.
Speaker 12 (27:10):
Well, that's yeah, we can't do that right now either.
But you know that's that's on a special day. Like
if I went out and roaded and you know, got
my horse sweaty, I would absolutely hose her.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Down by the way tomorrow tomorrow, let me get let
me take a wild gamble. Here is that woman in
the background telling you what to say? Is that my mom?
Is that Marianne Conway?
Speaker 12 (27:32):
Mary Anne? Get out of here.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I want me to do that all the time. You know,
I'll be on the phone with my grandparents.
Speaker 12 (27:38):
How I have me?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
You played baseball today? I played baseball today. Tell me
are your birthday's coming up? My birthday's coming up? Why
don't you just talk to her? Right?
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Kelly who owns hill christ I love Shelley all right.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
And and so you guys are worried about this. How
are you getting water for the horses?
Speaker 12 (27:54):
So what we've done, because we haven't got any help,
is Shelley, the owner with for money or ranch money,
has rented a tank, a seven hundred dollars water tank
one of our borders, who happens to be a brand
new border. You've been here like a week. Took that tank,
filled it up with water somewhere, so I had to
(28:16):
pay for that, brought that here. So we're going to
use that to fill up buckets to load in the
back of trucks to pour into other extra buckets that
we found around the ranch to put in the horse's
stall because we've had to turn off all the automatic
waters and clean out what was what water was in
there because it was possibly contaminated or that or whatever.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
So, Tamara, I'm sure you've got a person you blame
for all this. Who do you who are you blaming
for this mess?
Speaker 12 (28:46):
Oh that's a deep question. I'm just gonna go with
DWP because.
Speaker 7 (28:53):
They should.
Speaker 12 (28:54):
They should have a plan, They should have a plan
for this, you know. There and what what we were
told was sorry, we have to take care of you know,
the elderly and the needy and your horses. Could you know,
kick rocks. They didn't say that, but that's bically what
they said. They're not worried about the animals right now.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Really, I mean they said that in not not those terms,
but you know sort of in the ballpark.
Speaker 12 (29:19):
Absolutely said that.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
That's horrible, that's the worst. So you what you said
to d w P, what about my horses? And they
said they didn't give a brat sass pretty much. O. God,
what a city we live in, right? You know, you
pay all this money in taxes, you pay your boarding fees.
You're like hey, my my horse are dying, like yeah,
we don't care.
Speaker 12 (29:40):
Yeah too sorry, And there's other ranches up here too
that are scrambling to figure it out. And so this
is not you know, this is a little equestrian, you know,
point little part.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
What's the name of your horse?
Speaker 7 (29:54):
Scarlet?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Scarlet, that's a beautiful name. Do you have any retired
horse race racehorses up there?
Speaker 12 (30:01):
We do?
Speaker 4 (30:02):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Really?
Speaker 12 (30:03):
Who do you guys have money as well? I don't
know her racehorse name.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
What's her real name?
Speaker 12 (30:09):
Her new name is an Darna and she is off
off the track thorough bred.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Oh wow, all right, I'll probably lost money on her.
So great tomorrow. Thanks for calling. We'll check in with
you again before this is over.
Speaker 12 (30:23):
Okay, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Thank with all Right, there she goes, he's got a
horse man that needs that water twenty to thirty gallons
a day. Wow, that's two hundred and forty pounds. Horse
is weigh about twelve hundred pounds. And she's that horse
drinking twhundred forty pounds at water day same time, I
have not. I don't know. I'm gonna stand high, alard, dear,
all right, we're live. We're gonna take. We keep an
(30:46):
eye on the Canyon fire and also the water outage
of in Gridine Hills. Lot going on in the Valley
and North Valley. Tonight Conway Show on demand on the
iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear us live on
k if I Am six forty four to seven pm
Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
It's KMF I Am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Oh boy,
I'll tell you this is the biggest fear right now
of the people live in Granada Hills because their fire
hydrants are out. Fortunately, this fire is not in that area.
(00:24):
Let me be clear, This is not a fire in
that area. This is a this is a way you know,
further north off the five Freeway. But this is the
fear that people have over the summer because look, we're
still all in shock over what happened in January in
in you know, early January and January seventh. It was
(00:46):
a nightmare for it, you know, for hundreds of thousands
of people. And I'll tell you this kind of thing
when this happens in this kind of heat and everybody panics.
You know, everybody is is looking around and thinking, you
know that they're they're next. And and you have a
good reason to think that way, because nobody in Pacific
(01:08):
Palisades woke up on January sixth or early on January
seventh and said, hey, you know this, uh this might
be uh you know, the day, you know, might be
my turn. Nobody and Nobody ever, ever predicted that the
entire community of Alta Dina and parts of Arcadia and
parts of Pasadena Pacific Palisades in Malibu would burn like that. Nobody.
(01:30):
And so we've got to keep we've got to keep,
you know, pay attention to these uh, you know, these fires,
especially especially when there's you know, very little water or
zero water coming out of the North Valley. So it's
let's turn on. I think Channel four was on it.
Do we still have Alex Stone? Is he still with us,
(01:51):
Alex or is is he going okay? Alex Stone was
gonna come on and talk about United Airlines. United Airlines
is working, get on back back on track today and
so but but this fire is huge, and the story
going on in grenad Hills and Porter Ranch is a
huge story. So hopefully we can get the Alex Stone
(02:12):
on a little later. Sorry Alex, but this uh, this
fire is scaring the hell out of a lot of people.
It's hot outside and if you go to you know,
the best thing you can do in southern California is
get yourself. You got to get the the app that
that you can you know, monitor these fires. It's called
(02:34):
watch duty. Watch duty is the best app. You click
on it and it has all these fires instantaneously, ready
to roll and to talk about them. Every single fire
that pops up, in this case, the Canyon fire is
on the app and it gives you all the information,
all the important information you need. This could save your life.
This watch app, it's the Canyon fire. It's uh. This
(02:58):
is updated a couple of minutes ago vent Turro County,
the Piru area, Lake Pyrou. It seems to be always
burning up in that area. And if you're on the
five Freeway you can probably see the smoke. I think
we can see it if we look out the window.
We can probably see it from here as well. But
the fire has been mapped at one fifty one acres.
(03:18):
An additional radio traffic indicates that the fire is a
third mile from Hazley Canyon Road, and evacuations orders have
been issued in La County for let me see the
Romero area. I'm not sure where that is. And also
Sloan and Cass green Hill never heard of that either.
(03:42):
So we got that fire burning and that's going to
be a major story here today. Then up north in
central California, they're calling that the Gifford fire. That's the
major one that's almost at one hundred thousand acres ninety
eight thousand acres. And then the fires that been burning
up in the desert in the high desert. They're calling
(04:04):
that the Gold fire. That's the one that was burning
north of Big Bear. If you're literally on Big Bear
Lake and you went due north, directly north, that's the
fire that's burning in that area. So we got we
got a major, major stories going on here with the fire.
We've got the water that has not been turned on
yet for Granada Hills and at Porta Ranch area. I
(04:27):
went out there last night just to take a look around,
you know, because I work at KFI. You got to
get around and you got to see the story's firsthand
to find out what's going on. So I get to
I drive out there last night at around eight o'clock,
had some supper and went out there around eight o'clock,
took the five to the one eighteen, got off and
I was at Tampa and Ronaldi, I think is what
(04:49):
they call that street out there, and I go into
a seven eleven to grab a water, But what I
really was doing was going in there to see how
much water was left and I was shocked. There was
a ton of water left. So people are relying on
the free water that's been given out to our people
living in the area, but the water you have to
(05:11):
pay for at seven eleven, stacked to the ceiling water everywhere.
I couldn't believe it. So I bought two bottles of water.
It was two dollars. Two bottles for three dollars and
fifty cents. And I said, hey, can I get a bag?
And the guy says to me at seven eleven, he goes, ooh,
you're worried about getting rolled for your water. I'm like, no, no,
I just want I want to get a bag. I've
been in I didn't park around here, and I'm not
(05:32):
worried about getting rolled for my water. But it was
pretty funny. It got did a great sense of humor.
Normally you don't run into, you know, very funny people
who are working at seven eleven. All right, we got
a lot going on here. The Canyon Fire is is
right off the five freeway. If you're in Santa Clarita
and you're looking west, you can see the Canyon Fire.
(05:54):
It's right off the one twenty six, which is the
backway to Ventura and the five Freeway. If you are
at Magic Mountain, you can definitely see it and smell it.
That fire is very very close by. Magic Mountain is probably,
as the crow flies, less than a mile from the west,
the eastern flank of that fire, and that fire is
(06:18):
worrying a lot of people who live in that area,
very concerned about that thing growing. It started and it's
burning south We see southwest. It's burning southwest for the
majority of that fire. The one silver lining in this
fire is at Lake Piru, which is the lake just
north and west of this fire is a great source
(06:41):
of water for helicopters, the fixed wing and they're gonna
be able to dump a lot of water on it.
Conditions are perfect, it's not too windy. It's hotter than
hell out there. I imagine it's probably at least one
hundred degrees where this fire is burning. So we're going
to have reports on that all day long. We're going
to come back and talk about the water again. I
went out there last night, saw a bunch of guys
(07:02):
with Caltrans guys out there directing traffic, and then also
they had the DWP out there, Los Angeles Apartment of
Water and power, a lot of guys working on a
lot of equipment out there, and I don't know when
the water is going to come back on, but from
what I saw last night, I think you would be
(07:22):
extremely lucky to see it on by tomorrow. I think
we're looking at Saturday, Sunday, maybe Monday for this water
to come back on. And if you remember yesterday, it's
a valve that didn't open. They replaced a valve and
twenty four feet below the surface, but not just twenty
four feet in sand and dirt, big boulders surrounding this valve,
(07:47):
two oil lines that are current and use in use
right now, and one natural gas line. So when there's
a natural gas line and two oil pipelines crisscrossing within
feet of that valve, you cannot go down there with
heavy equipment because any kind of breakage of either any
(08:07):
of those any of those three lines and a spark
and it's over. It's over major explosion. So they've got
to be very careful with this. It might take some time.
They're going to do it carefully, hopefully quickly and get
you back your water, because right now, if you live
in that area, there's ninety eight hundred homes without sprinklers,
without drinking water, without showers, without toilets, and without hydrants.
(08:33):
The hydrants are not working in that area. One hundred
degrees out fire burning north of you. We just updated that.
By the way, what's the pirroum more than a thousand? Now? Oh,
it's now more than a thousand. Wow. Okay, all right,
that is exploding that fire. We're going to have updates
all night long or all afternoon long here on the
Piru fire. They're calling it the Canyon fire. So remember
(08:56):
that they're calling this is the Canyon fire. One thousand,
fifty one acres. That's right, Crosch is exactly correct, one
fifty one acres. Evacuation orders Level one evacuation orders in
Ventura County. La County also level two, and I think
the level two in that area is north of that fire. Yeah,
(09:16):
north and west of that north and east of that fire.
Not yet in Santa Clarita or Valencia, but Casteak, all
those areas Casteak Industry, and then you have Cambridge Hillcrest
and Sloan and also Greenhill as well. All of those
areas are voluntary evacuation right now. But if you go
(09:40):
west of that and you get into Romero and also
Valverde and Oaks Canyon. Those are all mandatory and so
you're going to be asked to leave, and once you leave,
you can't go back. It's the Canyon Fire, one fifty
one acres and it's going to be a long day,
a long night for everyone that lives in the Santa
(10:00):
Clarita area and the surrounding area. It's Conway Show. We're
live on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
KFI AM six forty. It is the Conway Show where
keep an eye on the fires. We're also keeping an
eye on Granada Hills. We'll tell you if that water
comes back on. Lots going on. But the Canyon fire
is what they're calling that. It is up near Lake Casteak,
Lake Piru. It is west of the five Freeway and
west of Santa Clarita and Valencia and Hope. It says
(10:35):
that way Saugust. It's west of all that crap. So
Michael Monks is here. We've got Monks. How you buff him? Well,
you know when when we booked you on the show
or you booked yourself. I don't know what the process is.
There was no news going on. It was just, you know,
just the news with the water.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
You know, belly O comes into me every day what
you got, And sometimes I'm like, yeah, I don't know
if Conway's gonna be in it, because I can tell
when the life leaves your eyes and you're bored with me.
So now I've learned, like what's pitch? And sometimes like
I got nothing? But you know, it's like we can
come back on and talk about the water situation because
you've been all over yeah, investigative reporters night.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah. But then I mean, it has hit the fan.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
We've got this water thing ongoing, this massive fire in
the Ventura, La counting line. And by the way, just
down the wires, the Trump administration has decided to go
to the Supreme Court with the local federal district judge
that stopped the immigration raids based on race and language
and location that came down too.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
So it has gotten very busy, very fast. How soon
will the Supreme Court hear that? That's if they take
it up at all. I have no idea. They may
just remand it back to the lower courts. That is
a temporary restraining order. You know, we have to get
in like release specifics on that case. We saw that
raid at the home depot yesterday that a lot of
people think was in violation of this court order. Yeah,
(11:52):
it was a little suspicious.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
We haven't learned any new details about what motivated that
or what intelligence they had to to go about that.
But this is a temporary restraining order. It could turn
into a longer order. A hearing at the district court
level has been scheduled on that anyway for late September,
so that's still ongoing.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
All right, So Monks by the way host every Saturday,
you know, from seven to nine pm, what's the latest
on this water up in Grenade Hills. It's a mess.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I mean, I think about nine thousand plus customers, right,
how many people that represents families that are looking up
there have been without water since Tuesday night because of this.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Oh, I didn't know it was Tuesday nights. What's today?
Wednesday was?
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yeah, they were working on this thing on Tuesday. Oh
my god, this was a you know the water Cruise MELODYWP.
We're conducting some repair work at a pump station on Tuesday.
This pump station connects to a ten million gallon water
tank that serves that entire area, and they found a
valve that controls the flow of the water failed to open.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Oh god, Now whose fault is that? Is that DWPS
or the manufacture of that valve.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
It's probably the utilities, but you know, they can blame
it on everybody aging infrastructure apparently. And I'm going to
let you hear from Janice Qinonez, the general manager of LEDWP.
She can explain why this is such a challenging situation.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
At the same time, our crews are working to remove
the valve that fail to restore waterflow to the tank.
The location of the valve is twenty four feet deep
and the repairs are very complex. They have been working
since last night and this morning. They found two oil pipelines,
active pipelines, a gas line, and lash boulders that have
(13:35):
complicated our excavation efforts because we cannot use heavy equipment
until those lines are clear. We're working with the owners
of those lines to clear the pipeline so we can
continue the excavation.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
So did you hear that oil pipelines down there? Gas
and big boulders. So I heard you say at the
top of the show that this utility was hoping to
get this done maybe by tomorrow, but you're suspecting it's
going to be later on the weekend. They even conceded
that it's probably going to go at least through the weekend.
The city, the utility, they brought out all kinds of
water to these folks, not just for the purpose of drinking,
(14:10):
but to wash yourself, to use the restroom, to even
do your laundry.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
So they're trying to help out.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I know we got to take a break, but I
did want to let you know because you expressed some
concern about the fire situation and the fire department because
they use that water til here is ian to drive
La City Fire Department Captain Eric Scott explaining how they
think they're in good shape.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
So to maintain firefighting readiness, we've pre deployed additional resources
and had them strategically positioned in the affected areas of
Porter Ranch and Granada Hills. And so this includes two
three engine task forces, so that's a total of six
additional fire engines. Each of them have five hundred gallons
of water. We have two twenty five hundred gallon LAFD
(14:54):
water tenders. We have an additional water tender from the
Park and Rangers and five water ten from LADWP and
those can hold over four thousand gallons, So we have
a lot of additional water out O good in case
there's a problem.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
So it sounds like they're on it. Yeah, it sounds
like they are ready. Maybe I was born and raised
probably as the crow fly, six miles from where this
is happening. And I'm going to give you my best
guest amit on when water is going to be coming back? Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Is that reflected by your heritage there or by your
experience with city government? A little bit of both, A
little bit of both.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah, Thanksgiving, maybe maybe Halloween okay, but not tomorrow. It's
not gonna be tomorrow. Monks, thanks seven o'clock on Saturday.
And also real quickly. I don't know if you ever
talk about this or even reveal this on the air,
but Monks is a confectionist.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Monks make Shannon is Shannon Farn's obsessed with this that
I do ice cream with the spouse and we make
candy as well. And I've got a dream, maybe like
you get going we hit the road up to venture
open up a little shop live on the coast, got
them sell candy and ice cream to the tourist and
the families of Ventura.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
And still Panda's on Wednesday. Yeah, and looked out here
doing some live hits with you. All right, all right,
Michael Monks Saturday now seven to nine pm. Will come
back with the updates on the fire and also what's
going on in Granada Hills with the water lots going on.
On KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Two. Major stories. We're working on. The fire up lake
near Lake Piru. We're working on that. That is a
major story. They're calling it the Canyon fire, one fifty
one acres burning west of Santa Clarita. I know we
have a huge listenership in Santa Clarita, one of the
(16:43):
most beautiful cities in the world. I wanted to move
up there, my wife wanted to be closer to family,
and I think we've made a mistake of not flding
up there. I'll always regret them. But then we have
Granada Hills where ninety seven ninety eight hundred customers without water,
no showers, no drinking, no, no topping off your pool,
(17:04):
can't water your lawn, can't do anything, can't feed the animals.
There's a lot of horse property up there, and if
you have horses, they drink a lot. I imagine a
horse could drink four or five six gallons of water
a day.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Yeah. Somebody said at Hillcrest Ranch they need twenty gallons
per horse.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
You know that.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
I wasn't clear about them. Okay, and you know John
Cobolt made a great point. Ninety two hundred customers, but
that could be like twenty thousand people, you know you.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Mean, yeah, right, nine two hundred homes or yeah, right right,
because a family of six they count that as one,
right exactly. Yeah, John made that point.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
Yeah, wow, Cobalt, John Cobalt.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I gotta listen to the show. When does he come on?
Speaker 7 (17:49):
He's on one to four, right, and then you can

Speaker 6 (18:18):
We really need the help of our please podcast show
preset us as number one.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Thank you, thank you very much. All right, the water outage.
Here's the latest. What we know when it comes to
the water outage up in the North Valley.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
Well, work cruise admit it's going to be a minute
before that valve is fixed, but they've got a temporary
fix that they believe that can get the water flowing
to everyone as soon as tomorrow. And you're looking at
that temporary fix right there, these giant hoses. Water is
flowing through those hoses right now, going all the way
to a big tank, and work crews say, once that
(18:53):
tank fills up, they believe they can get water flow
into everyone as soon as.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
All right, here we go tomorrow. That's the day.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
Work crews on the job, humming along at a fever's pace.
Tons of equipment laid out all of this to get
the taps flowing again. Frustrated and thirsty residents lining up
early this morning to get free cases of bottled water.
Speaker 9 (19:12):
I'm number twenty one, and the line is I can't
see the end of the line.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
More than nine thousand, Why do you care? You're twenty one?
You know you're number twenty one.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
I'm number twenty one.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
There you go, Forever twenty one? Isn't that the name
of that line? Didn't they go to business for ever
twenty one? Did they? Yeah? I think they did. They
have a go to business or just bankrupt or yeah.
I think they just said screw it. But they have
a plus size store that I also think went out
of business that they ran. So what'd you say about? Oh,
(19:45):
it's called forever to twenty one.
Speaker 9 (19:49):
You know, and the line is, I can't see the
end of the line.
Speaker 8 (19:56):
More than nine thousand residents in Porter Ranch and Granada
Hills have been without running water since Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Nine thousand homes, but as John Colbol pointed out, that
could be twenty thousand people, very very.
Speaker 10 (20:07):
Hard because we are five family member. No water is
just like amusing the pool water for that toilet.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Oh we got a pool. I don't know why you're complaining.
Most people don't have pools. That's that's such a typical,
like la you complaint like, oh, we're out of water. Well,
how about the ten thousand gallons in your backyard?
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I know, but that's for the pool, right, that's the pool.
Speaker 10 (20:34):
Water and the water for washing the face. And it's hard.
Speaker 8 (20:39):
The taps went dry when the Department of Water and
Power says a valve that controls the flow of water
from a pump station that connects to a ten million
gallon water tank failed to open and water was cut off.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Yeah, there's gonna be an investigation as to what happened
with that valve. Is it DWP's fault or the manufacture
of that valve, because I'm sure they don't manufure their
own valves. I'm positive they don't.
Speaker 8 (21:02):
The broken valve is more than twenty feet underground. Whoa
getting to it? It's very tough as where crews continue
the excavation process. They have to navigate around oil and
gas pipelines, a critical fiber optic line, and large boulders
to finally get to the problem and fix it.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Good idea. Put all those lines on top of each other. Oh,
is the water back on it? Is that Granada Hills
finally flushing?
Speaker 11 (21:28):
Nah?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Oh, that's our microphone here in the men's room.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
You have a temporary fix that will allow everyone to
have the taps flowing by tomorrow, but you need residents
who have any measure of water to participate, and that
is by not using water to pressurize, so you can
have enough water in the system to pressurize it to
get the taps flowing by tomorrow.
Speaker 12 (21:52):
Correct.
Speaker 11 (21:53):
Correct, we're asking the customers to not use water.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Well, well, who the customers in the surrounding area are
the customers that don't have water, I don't know. They're
not very exact about.
Speaker 11 (22:03):
That, even if they see water flowing in their faucets,
because the goal is to fill the tank, and if
we have any water usage, it's gonna slow down the
fill of the tank.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
You know, I was there last night. I drove out
there on my own dime. By the way, I paid
for gas and you know, went on my own time,
off hours, you know, no overtime, just out investigating. Here
are here, Thank you, Thank you for waiting for them.
And I noticed that the guy across on Bernaldi, across
the street, he had all thirty sprinklers roaring. He didn't
(22:34):
care he was outside the zone. He had water and
he was using it. Thirty sprinklers all drenching the lawn
and running into the street totally and screw it.
Speaker 11 (22:45):
Once we filled the tank, we can provide water to
all residents.
Speaker 12 (22:48):
In the area.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
There you go, all right, let's fill that tank. Fill
that tank, y'all.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
Heards that right, So you folks who are living in
this neck of the woods, you've got a trickle of
water right now. The DWP folks as need to shut
it off so that they can keep that water flowing
through these giant hoses to that big tank and fill
it up and get it pressurized to get water to
everyone hopefully by tomorrow live in gran out of Hills.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Le'll start with ab se Yeah, all wars man, that
guys great, all right, we gotta take a break. We're
going to keep an eye on the fire, the canyon
fire out there over one thousand acres, and also what's
going on with the water in Granad Hills. Two big
stories really in the same area, you know, the North Valley.
I'd say, that fire and that water outager within as
(23:33):
the crow flies maybe four miles maybe four and a
half five miles from one another. So lots going on
that area. You're gonna hear emergency alert system on all
day long. Civil Authority is issued a fire warning for
the following counties La County at four oh six pm
today and that's going to be effective until eight o
six pm, So you're gonna see those and hear those
(23:54):
all days. Well, lot going on.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Forty near Lake Piru Lake Cast Steak Area. Keep an
eye on that. It's over one hundred degrees and that's
not a great combination heat and fire. No good. And
then the water outage up in Granada Hills. We're keeping
eye on that as well. Soon as that pops open, man,
you'll hear it first right here on KFI. But we
(24:22):
have a young lady, her name is Tomorrow and she
boards horses at Hill Chris Ranch in Granada Hills and
since the early nineteen nineties, so good for her, and
she's with us tomorrow tomorrow.
Speaker 12 (24:36):
How you hello, I'm doing okay.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Thanks, And you've been up there for what the better
part of thirty almost forty years?
Speaker 12 (24:43):
Huh yeah, off and on, Yeah, I end up coming
back and we're going I need you.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Where is your ranch? What part of Granada Hills.
Speaker 12 (24:51):
It's it's on the north side of Rinaldi, so it's
Balboa and it's right on Zelza if that sounds exactly.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Yeah, Balbo and Zelza you know, go north south throughout
the valley.
Speaker 12 (25:10):
So yeah, we're right on Veelsa up right just above Vernaldi.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Okay, and your water is off?
Speaker 12 (25:18):
Yes, the water is off?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
And how how long has it been off?
Speaker 12 (25:23):
So it was still on yesterday and we were able
to fill up some buckets that we had just to
try and plan ahead because we didn't know what was
going to happen. So it was still on yesterday and
as of this morning, I believe it shut off and
I'm not sure exactly what time, but whatever was still
(25:43):
coming through because we have automatic water set up for
our horses, whatever was still coming through was not nice,
you know, and they had this boil oil only for
the people that had, you know, water still coming in,
and we're like, we're a ranch. That's not even an
option here. So I had to do a lot of
stuff today to take care of our horses because the
(26:05):
DWP is doing absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
How many horses do you own?
Speaker 12 (26:10):
I only own one personally, but there's about forty here
at the ranch.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Oh you got oh, I see you're boarding them for
other people.
Speaker 12 (26:16):
No, I'm I am not the owner of the ranch.
I'm just a border here and i'm sking for the owner.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah, okay, all right, I'm you know, there's there's non
learners and slow learners tomorrow, I'm a slow learner.
Speaker 12 (26:31):
That's okay. You just didn't have all the pieces to
the Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
So how many gallons of water can a typical healthy
horse drink a day?
Speaker 12 (26:41):
In a day?
Speaker 4 (26:42):
What?
Speaker 12 (26:43):
Twenty to thirty?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I would say, really, yeah, twenty thirty, So that's two
hundred and forty pounds of water a day.
Speaker 12 (26:53):
It's I mean, they can drink that much normally. Normally
horses that are not being worked and they're just standing
in a stall might not drink that much. But you know,
they're a big n all day. Need to hydrate. Oh
my god, it's over one hundred degrees right, and you
got to hoe.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Them down to keep them cool too.
Speaker 12 (27:10):
Well, that's yeah, we can't do that right now either.
But you know that's that's on a special day. Like
if I went out and roaded and you know, got
my horse sweaty, I would absolutely hose her.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Down by the way tomorrow tomorrow, let me get let
me take a wild gamble. Here is that woman in
the background telling you what to say? Is that my mom?
Is that Marianne Conway?
Speaker 12 (27:32):
Mary Anne? Get out of here.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I want me to do that all the time. You know,
I'll be on the phone with my grandparents.
Speaker 12 (27:38):
How I have me?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
You played baseball today? I played baseball today. Tell me
are your birthday's coming up? My birthday's coming up? Why
don't you just talk to her? Right?
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Kelly who owns hill christ I love Shelley all right.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
And and so you guys are worried about this. How
are you getting water for the horses?
Speaker 12 (27:54):
So what we've done, because we haven't got any help,
is Shelley, the owner with for money or ranch money,
has rented a tank, a seven hundred dollars water tank
one of our borders, who happens to be a brand
new border. You've been here like a week. Took that tank,
filled it up with water somewhere, so I had to
(28:16):
pay for that, brought that here. So we're going to
use that to fill up buckets to load in the
back of trucks to pour into other extra buckets that
we found around the ranch to put in the horse's
stall because we've had to turn off all the automatic
waters and clean out what was what water was in
there because it was possibly contaminated or that or whatever.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
So, Tamara, I'm sure you've got a person you blame
for all this. Who do you who are you blaming
for this mess?
Speaker 12 (28:46):
Oh that's a deep question. I'm just gonna go with
DWP because.
Speaker 7 (28:53):
They should.
Speaker 12 (28:54):
They should have a plan, They should have a plan
for this, you know. There and what what we were
told was sorry, we have to take care of you know,
the elderly and the needy and your horses. Could you know,
kick rocks. They didn't say that, but that's bically what
they said. They're not worried about the animals right now.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Really, I mean they said that in not not those terms,
but you know sort of in the ballpark.
Speaker 12 (29:19):
Absolutely said that.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
That's horrible, that's the worst. So you what you said
to d w P, what about my horses? And they
said they didn't give a brat sass pretty much. O. God,
what a city we live in, right? You know, you
pay all this money in taxes, you pay your boarding fees.
You're like hey, my my horse are dying, like yeah,
we don't care.
Speaker 12 (29:40):
Yeah too sorry, And there's other ranches up here too
that are scrambling to figure it out. And so this
is not you know, this is a little equestrian, you know,
point little part.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
What's the name of your horse?
Speaker 7 (29:54):
Scarlet?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Scarlet, that's a beautiful name. Do you have any retired
horse race racehorses up there?
Speaker 12 (30:01):

Speaker 4 (30:02):
