Add to that the Canadian military is on standby with up to 200 personnel trained in wild fire suppression.
I liked the idea of one homeowner that bought a pump long beforehand and used his swimming pool water to save his home. He said he tried to get others to do the same, but not all listened. The fire burned all around his house, even burning his patio furniture, but his house did not burn!
As a Californian I want to thank everyone who has posted empathetic and compassionate messages. You are letting love have the upper hand and your messages of support are much appreciated.
Decades of forest mismanagement came home to roost. For years, I told CA residents to leave because of ongoing corruption, mismanagement and sheer incompetence.

Nobody should have to insure someone living in a tinderbox that people have been talking about burning to the ground for at least the last 5 years. It's like insuring someone with 6 dui's.
Why blame insurance companies. There not responsible for local and state negligence for a incident that was preventable. Why should they cover you when you voted for the people responsible for this.

As a small town Maryland bro on the other side of the country currently looking at snow on the ground… this is just wild. I could not imagine going through something like this. Condolences for everyone out there this just terrible.
Same here. In Calvert county MD. I just want to see what the government does to help bc we know Hawaii has been forgotten after the fires last year, not to mention the floods in NC etc. God bless all of these people and the animals
I grew up in the 50s at the foot of the Santa Monica Mountains in Tarzana. We would watch brushfires burn just up the hill from us in the summers. They were small and quickly extinguished. Not any more. 💔
Yeah, here in Colorado Springs we had some devastating wild fires in the last 10 years or so. But LA has so many more people. A real tragedy going on here. And then you read some of the heartless comments in this thread, what's wrong with people?
If you’re gonna make a big deal about a mistake, then you can make a big deal about the fact that we still don’t have an evacuation map that is detailed
You forget that this I the new normal with climate change. People in NC and Florida have yet to recover from the hurricanes. Here in upstate NY and neighboring Vermont we are still trying to rebuild infrastructure damaged by last summer's flooding.
It's already significantly larger than the Chicago fire. The Chicago fire burned around 2100 acres, whereas the Palisades fire has burned 10 times that number, and it isn't even contained!
If the fire were to move into the San Fernando Valley and cross north of Ventura Blvd., mandatory evacuations would be literally in the millions of people....
That’s really horrible and to think Gavin diverted funds that were to go to have tanks for tons of water. The people of Cali already paid for it. Where did that money go? Probably to his Chinese partners!
@@blazeroranger You know how there is the Pantone color of the year? “Literally” should be the word of the decade. These morons should have to look up the difference between literally and figuratively, and examples of situations in which the word is actually needed.
There’s a UA-cam video showing a real estate company doing a promo on the Palisades area and in the shot showing the reservoir that provides water to the fire hydrants is empty. Video was made three months ago.
The fact they need fire department from other states to come to California is disturbing as California should have all the resources available for such a big impact
California has a policy of firing competent WHITE firefighters who are strong enough to fight fires in favor of DEI hires who tell people you need people of color who cannot FIGHT a fire and that if you get trapped in your home by a wildfire you are in the wrong place and we cannot rescue you which is one of the big reasons WHY people become firemen, because they want to fight fires and save lives and they don't give a damn what color you are. That is why there are not enough fire fighters along with a Governor who dumps water into the ocean rather than send it South where it is needed because its more important to save a small fish, who cuts fire budgets by millions ( along with Karen Bass, a radical Marxist who adored Fidel Castro, an evil killing his own people dictator ) and both people will not do fire mitigation like clearing out forests and hillsides of brush, dead trees and creating firebreaks as well as having EMPTY million gallon reservoirs shut down for cleaning and maintenance while the hydrants go empty and REAL firefighters not DEI hires stand weeping because they cannot STOP the spread of wildfires probably started by the crazed homeless in LA and when they had one in custody who was trying to start fires with a blowtorch while riding a bicycle they released him the next day despite their probably being a law against attempted arson and NO ONE in city, county or state government is going to say just who or what started these fires in multiple locations because fires do not start on their own without an ignition source. This morning adjacent to one of Los Angeles freeways overhanging vegetation was on FIRE with cars having to move out of the right lane to keep from being burned. WHO IS DELIBERATELY SETTING THOSE FIRES AND ALL OF THESE FIRES ? RECALL NEWSOME, BASS AND ALL OF THE LOS ANGELES CITY COUNSEL AND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND STOP VOTING FOR HACK POLITICIANS WHO DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF YOUR HOME BURNS DOWN OR THAT YOU, YOUR FAMILIES AND PETS AND ANIMALS DIE IN FIRES THAT THEIR RADICAL GREEN POLICIES CREATED. QUIT VOTING DEMOCRAT.
Another ignorant comment. Imagine the costs of maintaining a firefighting operation on a continual basis that is always prepared to deal with a catastrophe of this magnitude, as opposed to recruiting resources from other states and countries that can step in to fill the need, when necessary. Shows how little you understand about economic efficiency. Sharing resources is not unique to this situation. It happens throughout the world.
“Such a big impact” is someone no one in the world is prepared for, you dumb-a$$!! There are literally hundreds of miles burning down. This isn’t some normal residential fire where a couple apartments in s building are burning. This is on a mass scale. No state or country is EVER sufficiently prepared for something this enormous.
You're right, and it's terrible how the news and the government haven't made victims of those hurricanes a priority. My condolences to you. But please remember that the people dealing with the fires are Americans too. We all need to support each other. 🙏
I feel sooo bad for everyone in California. ❤❤ But I'd also like to know why they are "HIDING " NC and TN. It's very sad. Some of those poor people LOST their land too.

Man if only they decided to dampen and rake the forest floors, If only they stopped the monopoly on water by rich companies, golf courses and rich people, If only they performed regular water maintenance... There was SO much they could've done, but it's like they NEVER... LEARN.
Thank God it's the rich companies at fault for lack of water and not Newsome's redirection of water away from reservations and towards the delta smelt.
And sadly never will...they're living in their gated communities and cul-de-sacs and they're blind to the realities that are taking place in the real world!
The gas companies dont like people going to the forest and collecting fire wood either. Fire places are almost a thing of the past in new home construction.
Wouldn’t it be fun if the media actually asked tough questions about the incompetency of the people running California instead of trying to deflect and protect them, people have a right to know
OMG....I do feel for all people and animals caught up in this disaster. If arsonists are to blame, string them up, because this is absolutely heartbreaking! I've been watching throughout the day and night in the UK and it breaks my heart! Regardless if you are a celebrity or just an "ordinary member of the public"....please keep yourselves safe....help each other and don't forget the animals!

Yes. Like ,for instance, California had sent their fire-fighting equipment to Ukraine and neve replaced it, never bought new equipment. Incompetent morons!
Thank you for your sympathy. Wildlife is being destroyed, life's lost. Property can be replaced. To the heartless that play a blame game. As we say from the South - BLESS YOUR HEART That is all the words I will spend on your type.
Ocean water will make a natural fire break so the environmentalists say. Ocean water will damage the soil, nothing will grow for many years. I say dump Ocean water NOW!!!! Life is more important right now than living soil.
This is NOT due to "climate change". LA always has had Santa Ana winds during the winter, and it isn't unusual for the rainy season to start in earnest in January. Unfortunately it is a terrible coincidence of severe Santa Ana winds coming after 2 years of high rainfall, creating substantial growth in the brush, followed by 7 months of no rainfall. This severe risk should have been obvious, but was not realistically prepared for. The mayor cuts the budget for the fire department by over $17 million but has a LARGER budget for the homeless to pay for housing homeless in $300/night hotels and giving homeless addicts free heroin, not to mention all the freebies being given to illegal migrants. The mayor gave NO explanation why she flew to Ghana, at taxpayer expense, to attend their president's inauguration after being warned about the impending severe Santa Ana conditions. The LGBTQ fire chief has prioritized DEI hiring over preparedness and competency. The governor has consistently refused to create more water storage that had been mandated several years ago. They will blame climate change rather than their own failures.
They have Their own shelters in Antartica , something big is comming and they have to live everything behind and of course nobody can go into the houses when they have to leave ,is what i think...to suspiciuos
Don't forget about the almost 20 million dollar budget cuts to the fire departments so they could use that money for immigration programs. Smart move in a state that's always having wildfires. @@RobertM-y5w
They said something about the ocean water being bad for the soil but at this point, so many lives are in danger and how much worse can ocean water be for the soil than the actual fire
There can be problems with pumping sea water, and I don't think CA laws or rules or something allow it. You'd think any of those might be suspended just now, but I guess not.
@@KC-ig2kr Fire is really really good for the fire, it fills it with nutrient filled ash which is amazing for regrowth of plants. Putting SALT water in the soil is called salting the earth and pretty much guarantees nothing will grow there again
The acreage burned so far is actually above 30,000. That's 2x the size of Manhattan. Now compare this to 9/11. It's beyond any fire fighters capability. Devastating.
The question that needs asking, is, why do Americans still build homes and buildings out of wood? We stopped doing that about 100 years ago? Bricks and mortar do not burn, wood does. Plus, In an area, prone to fire outbreaks, why have residents not fire retardant sprayed their homes? It would’ve made it a lot harder for embers to burn then? If you live in tornado alley, you buy a bunker? If you live in an area prone to fire outbreaks, you fire retardant spray your entire home, or build with bricks and mortar? I’ve never understood this, someone please make this make sense. And this isn’t a troll post guys, I’m genuinely gutted for y’all. But still wonder why these things are not a standard for living there.
Earthquakes are why they don't build with brick in that area. It's literally right on a fault line so they get BIG earthquakes which would literally collapse the entire city instead of just threaten the city like the fire is doing right now. That fault line is one of the most active earthquake zones in the world. This fire would've been extremely manageable if not for horrible decisions within the government.
bricks were banned for residential construction in California after the horrific 1906 earthquake. in bad earthquakes the california standard wood framed buildings built on pier foundations tend to bend, droop, and even slide of their foundations in tact and at most partially collapse vs the pile of rubble from a brick/cementitious structure. Many ppl are from some east coast place and are used to brick and prefer it so sometimes ppl get these super thin fake bricks that they nail to the house for the look but they are very expensive. You can if you like have a house made of steel studs (I saw this on a mansion being built in oakland) covered with a fire-retardant sheathing like gp densglass and then have the house covered with stucco and a steel roof. Termites arnt a problem in California and houses are expensive as it is so wood framing seems very smart. a 2x4 stud after inflation is $3.
Prayers from Texas !! Despite political differences no one deserves to have their Homes n livelihoods destroyed . God bless all of you in these hard times !
Personally, I think it's a sign from God. But don't quote me on that. Or you could accept the fact that this city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
The firefighters that live down there and lost their houses & are fighting for other people's houses those are the real heroes ..
Why are they hero’s? Do they not get a paycheck and benefits? Is that not their job?

California was Mexican land before they pillaged and murdered and stole it from them. Yts are sick! But yet yt Americans feel entitled to this land. And tell people to go back to their country. YOU FIRST! (Not you. This is my anger toward racism in general. I am just sick of it. And yet it is actually very distressing living in a country full of racists).

Yeah, here in Colorado Springs we had some devastating wild fires in the last 10 years or so. But LA has so many more people. A real tragedy going on here. And then you read some of the heartless comments in this thread, what's wrong with people?
So sad that they elected people who aren't mentally equipped to do more than their personal agendas.
Elected or installed?
Please! Lesbians have been renowned for firefighting for millennia
We should've elected the Republican Ted Cruz.........oh wait.
ah yes
because elected officials can call upon wind and rain at will
@sylverpc they can fill reservoirs and clear brush if they're not democrats and if they are,they can say it was climate change.
If you’re gonna make a big deal about a mistake, then you can make a big deal about the fact that we still don’t have an evacuation map that is detailed
Right that's what's killing me where are we suppose to go!!?
or roads that can handle evacuations. The ditching of cars is horribly inappropriate for both those who are evacuating, and the fire personal.
No evacuation map ......this was planned. Good luck america 🇺🇸 we gott survive

No need to come back, that land is cursed.
You forget that this I the new normal with climate change. People in NC and Florida have yet to recover from the hurricanes. Here in upstate NY and neighboring Vermont we are still trying to rebuild infrastructure damaged by last summer's flooding.

If this keeps going this is going to be way worse than the Chicago fire in 1871
Take a look at history. MANY cities burned down. The agenda started then...
🤔.... Good Point HISTORIAN remember THIS
That’s what your government wants
It's already 10x the size of the Great Chicago fire.
It's already significantly larger than the Chicago fire. The Chicago fire burned around 2100 acres, whereas the Palisades fire has burned 10 times that number, and it isn't even contained!
If the fire were to move into the San Fernando Valley and cross north of Ventura Blvd., mandatory evacuations would be literally in the millions of people....
Geez, and no signs of these fires slowing down right?
Overshoot has consequences…8.4 Billion…🔥🌎🔥
Literally? SMH
That’s really horrible and to think Gavin diverted funds that were to go to have tanks for tons of water. The people of Cali already paid for it. Where did that money go? Probably to his Chinese partners!
@@blazeroranger You know how there is the Pantone color of the year? “Literally” should be the word of the decade. These morons should have to look up the difference between literally and figuratively, and examples of situations in which the word is actually needed.
How devastating for the people in these areas and Southern California. Keep safe people and all first responders!
There’s a UA-cam video showing a real estate company doing a promo on the Palisades area and in the shot showing the reservoir that provides water to the fire hydrants is empty. Video was made three months ago.
It was under repair
Yes, the reservoir was being repaired. It was closed before any of the wildfires started. Get your facts...!

They've known about the repairs that needed to happen for about 25 years.
@@gamingtonight1526yet no plan B was in place while the repairs were being completed.
Thank you Fire Fighters for saving our life ❤
Cal Fire doesn't save Republican voting communities, it's against their policy.
The fact they need fire department from other states to come to California is disturbing as California should have all the resources available for such a big impact
Especially when they're one of the highest taxed state in the country.
California has a policy of firing competent WHITE firefighters who are strong enough to fight fires in favor of DEI hires who tell people you need people of color who cannot FIGHT a fire and that if you get trapped in your home by a wildfire you are in the wrong place and we cannot rescue you which is one of the big reasons WHY people become firemen, because they want to fight fires and save lives and they don't give a damn what color you are.
That is why there are not enough fire fighters along with a Governor who dumps water into the ocean rather than send it South where it is needed because its more important to save a small fish, who cuts fire budgets by millions ( along with Karen Bass, a radical Marxist who adored Fidel Castro, an evil killing his own people dictator ) and both people will not do fire mitigation like clearing out forests and hillsides of brush, dead trees and creating firebreaks as well as having EMPTY million gallon reservoirs shut down for cleaning and maintenance while the hydrants go empty and REAL firefighters not DEI hires stand weeping because they cannot STOP the spread of wildfires probably started by the crazed homeless in LA and when they had one in custody who was trying to start fires with a blowtorch while riding a bicycle they released him the next day despite their probably being a law against attempted arson and NO ONE in city, county or state government is going to say just who or what started these fires in multiple locations because fires do not start on their own without an ignition source.
This morning adjacent to one of Los Angeles freeways overhanging vegetation was on FIRE with cars having to move out of the right lane to keep from being burned. WHO IS DELIBERATELY SETTING THOSE FIRES AND ALL OF THESE FIRES ?
RECALL NEWSOME, BASS AND ALL OF THE LOS ANGELES CITY COUNSEL AND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND STOP VOTING FOR HACK POLITICIANS WHO DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF YOUR HOME BURNS DOWN OR THAT YOU, YOUR FAMILIES AND PETS AND ANIMALS DIE IN FIRES THAT THEIR RADICAL GREEN POLICIES CREATED. QUIT VOTING DEMOCRAT.
Another ignorant comment. Imagine the costs of maintaining a firefighting operation on a continual basis that is always prepared to deal with a catastrophe of this magnitude, as opposed to recruiting resources from other states and countries that can step in to fill the need, when necessary. Shows how little you understand about economic efficiency. Sharing resources is not unique to this situation. It happens throughout the world.
“Such a big impact” is someone no one in the world is prepared for, you dumb-a$$!! There are literally hundreds of miles burning down. This isn’t some normal residential fire where a couple apartments in s building are burning. This is on a mass scale. No state or country is EVER sufficiently prepared for something this enormous.
@@kenotube3160Exactly, THANK YOU.

You're right, and it's terrible how the news and the government haven't made victims of those hurricanes a priority. My condolences to you.

Man if only they decided to dampen and rake the forest floors, If only they stopped the monopoly on water by rich companies, golf courses and rich people, If only they performed regular water maintenance... There was SO much they could've done, but it's like they NEVER... LEARN.

Thank God it's the rich companies at fault for lack of water and not Newsome's redirection of water away from reservations and towards the delta smelt.
And sadly never will...they're living in their gated communities and cul-de-sacs and they're blind to the realities that are taking place in the real world!
The gas companies dont like people going to the forest and collecting fire wood either. Fire places are almost a thing of the past in new home construction.
The people of LA are thankful as this is what they voted for.
We're in 2025 fighting fires like it's still the 1990s. We haven't really advanced much.

Those coppers dropping water look like throwing a cup of water on a house fire. Are they making fire breaks to slow it down?
Ocean water will make a natural fire break so the environmentalists say. Ocean water will damage the soil, nothing will grow for many years. I say dump Ocean water NOW!!!! Life is more important right now than living soil.
The dropping of water is to contain spread as opposed to fight central flames directly in a fire of this size.
The wildlife is being decimated and winds have already picked back up worse than earlier this is gonna get way worse is a burning deck of cards!
Cali doesn't know what fire breaks are
Look at that terrain. May factors BTW too. Didn't they say this fire double backed?
This is NOT due to "climate change". LA always has had Santa Ana winds during the winter, and it isn't unusual for the rainy season to start in earnest in January. Unfortunately it is a terrible coincidence of severe Santa Ana winds coming after 2 years of high rainfall, creating substantial growth in the brush, followed by 7 months of no rainfall. This severe risk should have been obvious, but was not realistically prepared for. The mayor cuts the budget for the fire department by over $17 million but has a LARGER budget for the homeless to pay for housing homeless in $300/night hotels and giving homeless addicts free heroin, not to mention all the freebies being given to illegal migrants. The mayor gave NO explanation why she flew to Ghana, at taxpayer expense, to attend their president's inauguration after being warned about the impending severe Santa Ana conditions. The LGBTQ fire chief has prioritized DEI hiring over preparedness and competency. The governor has consistently refused to create more water storage that had been mandated several years ago. They will blame climate change rather than their own failures.

The acreage burned so far is actually above 30,000. That's 2x the size of Manhattan. Now compare this to 9/11. It's beyond any fire fighters capability. Devastating.
The question that needs asking, is, why do Americans still build homes and buildings out of wood? We stopped doing that about 100 years ago? Bricks and mortar do not burn, wood does. Plus, In an area, prone to fire outbreaks, why have residents not fire retardant sprayed their homes? It would’ve made it a lot harder for embers to burn then? If you live in tornado alley, you buy a bunker? If you live in an area prone to fire outbreaks, you fire retardant spray your entire home, or build with bricks and mortar? I’ve never understood this, someone please make this make sense. And this isn’t a troll post guys, I’m genuinely gutted for y’all. But still wonder why these things are not a standard for living there.
Earthquakes are why they don't build with brick in that area. It's literally right on a fault line so they get BIG earthquakes which would literally collapse the entire city instead of just threaten the city like the fire is doing right now. That fault line is one of the most active earthquake zones in the world. This fire would've been extremely manageable if not for horrible decisions within the government.
bricks were banned for residential construction in California after the horrific 1906 earthquake. in bad earthquakes the california standard wood framed buildings built on pier foundations tend to bend, droop, and even slide of their foundations in tact and at most partially collapse vs the pile of rubble from a brick/cementitious structure. Many ppl are from some east coast place and are used to brick and prefer it so sometimes ppl get these super thin fake bricks that they nail to the house for the look but they are very expensive. You can if you like have a house made of steel studs (I saw this on a mansion being built in oakland) covered with a fire-retardant sheathing like gp densglass and then have the house covered with stucco and a steel roof. Termites arnt a problem in California and houses are expensive as it is so wood framing seems very smart. a 2x4 stud after inflation is $3.
Earthquakes...
brick and mortar is good for fires, but not so good for earthquakes
This is spiritual !!!!
