Mel Gibson was left stunned after a firefighter shockingly claimed there was no water in the fire hydrants, as the group drove through the fire-devastated areas of Los Angeles. 

The Mad Max star drove through LA with a firefighter and NewsNation’s Brian Entin. 

‘None of us were aware of the water issues with the reservoirs and stuff, right,’ the firefighter said. 

Gibson asked if the fire crews were aware that ‘the reservoir was empty.’ 

While he said they initially had water, the firefighter added that the teams ran out of water ‘fairly quickly.’  

‘It’s not uncommon for us to lose water in our firefight. It’s just that early in the game was surprising.’

Gibson, who previously questioned if the ‘convenient’ circumstances surrounding the fires had been ‘commissioned’, responded: ‘Because yeah, it wasn’t there. And no one told you. That’s the crazy bit.’ 

The firefighter said that his team was quickly equipped with ‘a lot of resources’ as the devastating wildfires progressed.

Gibson gave the outlet a tour of the burned down remains of his Malibu home, where almost everything was destroyed. 

Gibson recalled in earlier interviews returning to ‘nothing’ after his $14.5 million Malibu mansion burned down while he was filming a podcast with Joe Rogan in Texas.

During filming, Gibson said he knew his neighborhood was on fire and wondered if his home was still standing.

Mel began: ‘Obviously, it’s kind of devastating. It’s emotional.’

He added: ‘I was doing the Rogan podcast… And [I was] kind of ill at ease while we were talking, because I knew my neighborhood was on fire, so I thought, I wonder if my place is still there.

‘But when I got home, sure enough, it wasn’t there. I went home and I said to myself, well, at least I haven’t got any of those pesky plumbing problems anymore.

‘I had a lot of personal things there that, you know, I can’t get back.’ 

Gibson had previously theorized on Fox News with Laura Ingraham if the ruinous fires were ‘commissioned’ in order to move people off valuable property. 

The actor said he is ‘devastated’ that his home has been torn down by the devastating fires

‘I can make all kinds of horrible theories up in my head, conspiracy theories and everything else, but it just seemed a little convenient that there was no water,’ Gibson said. ‘And that the wind conditions were right and that there are people ready and willing and able to start fires’

‘And that the wind conditions were right and that there are people ready and willing and able to start fires.’ 

‘I know they were missing with the water, letting reserves go for one reason or another. They’ve been doing that a while. California has a lot of problems that sort of baffle the mind as far as why they do things.’

‘And then in events like this, you sort of look, well, it is on purpose? Which, it’s an insane thing to think. But one begins to ponder whether or not there is a purpose in mind. What could it be? You know, what do they want? The state empty? I don’t know.’

The actor told Ingraham: ‘One always suspect that this might happen.

‘One thinks that the resources and the capabilities of the men and women will be on standby, that they’ll be able to cope with any situation that comes up, but apparently some people were asleep on the job, mainly our leaders there.’

‘But, you know, that’s something they have to live with — but that’s something that the community has to live with, and it’s really sad.’

So far, at least 25 people have died as a result of the LA fires, and more than 180,000 people have been forced to evacuate.
