Some hydrants in the Palisades were unusable earlier this week and reservoir water was reportedly not available, impairing the effort to protect homes.

Appearing on Fox News on Friday (10 January), Gibson was asked if he had any message to the governor over the reported failures.

Gibson replied: “Spend less on hair gel.”
