Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt Sue the City of Los Angeles Over Palisades Fire Destruction

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have sued the city of L.A. over the Palisades wildfire that destroyed their home.

The reality stars joined more than 20 other property owners in the lawsuit, which claims a decision to "drain" a nearby reservoir left firefighters unable to stop the blaze's spread. “LADWP and City of Los Angeles had a duty to properly construct, inspect, maintain and operate its water supply system,” reads the complaint, filed by attorneys Peter McNulty, Brett Rosenthal and E. Kirk Wood. A key reason for the city and the LADWP’s failure, according to the suit, was its stated decision to leave the reservoir “empty for nearly a year” in order “to seek contractor bids rather than using in-house personnel to repair” it.
