What a chaos! You documented it very well; thanks for that. What I do not understand, as someone from the Netherlands, is why wood is used as the primary building material, I mean for the poles, homes, and other structures. As we can all see, the only standing structures are the fireplaces, which are made of bricks. Over here in the Netherlands, bricks, concrete, and steel beams are the main materials for building homes and public places. Regarding the utilities, why not place them underground? Electricity, broadband internet, gas, and other utilities are all underground here. Especially in hazardous areas like the beautiful nature over there, it should be mandatory. Removing the brush, trees, and vegetation on a hillside only increases the risk of mudslides. Please think about this and spend your tax money wisely. That said, I wish you all the best and send my condolences to those affected.
We also get frequent earthquakes here, and brick houses would not stand a chance when the dreaded Big One arrives (or even a relatively minor jolt - look at what happens in European countries whenever a moderate earthquake strikes. Brick homes just crumble.) While it is possible to build fireproof and earthquake-proof structures using reinforced concrete, metal roofs, etc., the cost is very high. Very few could afford to build that way.

@mikegrogor8632 looking on Google maps I found this area. Looks pretty strange especially the unburned blue trash cans and a blue tarp by the totally burnt car.
I'm not an arson investigator but I know how to use Google maps. Never having actually visited the area I found myself wondering what the buildings looked like before they were destroyed. If you look on Google Street view at the beach front properties before the fire you can follow the same route the camera man does and in a lot of cases even see vehicles parked in the same spots they are in now. I was surprised to see that nearly all of the buildings literally touched each other with the only spaces between them being the occasional public beach access, All it took was a virtual waterfall of embers blasting across the highway at any point up or down the road and once one building caught fire they all did like a fuse running down the beach. If a person had dropped a lit cigarette or had a grease fire on the stove that resulted in the home catching on fire AND for some reason the fire department was delayed or just never showed the result would have been the same. In this case the wind was blowing towards the ocean keeping the fire from coming back across to side of the road it originated from.
@paulschane5865 I'm pretty sure California has some strict fire regulations about that. I was looking at Google maps also. This is a really bad situation. People must be in total shock.
I can remember riding in the car with my family through this section of Pacific Coast Highway on our way home from Oxnard in Ventura county. this was in the early 60's. I was around 6 years old and today I'm 66 years old.
Thank you very much, I was looking for information about what could have happened to the Gette Villa and I just saw on your film how you passed by it. Still standing. Thank you once more.
Thanks for these, a question. Are you purposely not filming certain areas? I noticed you didnt turn your head right at all at Gladstones or even Topanga. I noticed you even edited out when you crossed Sunset northbound.
I am tired of people who don`t know any better saying Ca is full of rich people ,there are a few rich people that is true but my Dad for example only paid 5k for his first home using the GI bill after coming back fro Korea .All of my friends were the same growing up. Most of those houses in Malibu were built in the 50s and they were weekend homes.
That brush clearing at the beginning of the video is the California Incline. It is a sloping road in Santa Monica, California that connects to Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). Not really a wildfire threat risk area, done for easy news-clips. BTW slope in this area has been slowly eroding for years.
Why are US power poles, made of wood? Here in Europe almost all of our power poles are made of reinforced concrete, even rural areas have concrete power poles.
Not all US power poles are made of wood, but on the west coast wood poles are cheap and plentiful. Same reason houses on the west coast are made mostly of wood. Cheap and plentiful and they stand up to earthquakes reasonably well.
@WakieUppieYall No rich people own that ocean front property, and rich people donate to politicians. They also pay a shitload of taxes, and California already has a 68 billion dollar budget deficit.
This is sadly an example of capitalism and greed. You see it all over the country, drove to North Carolina shore and couldn’t see the ocean because whole shoreline blocked by houses. Just can’t relate but that’s the culture.

You don't like capitalism when it blocks your view, but you like the conveniences it provides.
That wasn’t the issue. You can’t control 100 mph winds and dry heat and a drought. You realize 100 mph winds is a category 3 hurricane right? Now combine that with embers the size of your head blowing at 100 mph. They couldn’t even get aircraft into the air to do water drops because of the wind, too dangerous to fly.

Yes. They are coming and it won’t be pretty. The rainy season (4 weeks) is late and the Santa Ana winds are early by 4-6 weeks. A contributor to the scope of this catastrophe.
I must say, props to those lineman. At the average rate of what looks like a pole in the ground every 30-45 minutes, I imagine about 20 - 25 poles a day for 1 crew. I imagine there are more crews from around the country, but who knows.
Thanks for taking the time to post the long video It was interesting to see the rows of houses that remained between the burned down ones It was a true gamble Furthermore, looking over everybody's shoulder without contributing, you reminded me of my mother in law 🤣
For those who dont live here and have no clue... They are clearing brush to protect the homes not affected by the original fire. We have 40 million people in CA... this PCH has 2 lanes on each side and is packed everyday. Shuttting this down is a disaster , so stop making silly comments and you have never even been here. Some of us use it everyday.
They have the road shut down to traffic, they have the time and safety for the future should be top of mind, so why are they not digging to bury the electricity RIGHT NOW? Doesn’t make sense to do the same thing again when they have time right now to get it done right and safe. Bury the electric lines cali! This is one of the things that the congress talks about that would be easy for cali to do right now to stop future fires and should tie this simple idea to the aid money. We will give you aid money if you start to do things differently and more safely and sanely like burying the lines. I saw the claim photos and a lot of those homes along the coast there were hit by downed lines. Now we don’t know if they caught on fire first and burned the poles or if the poles burned down the homes. So why not take that one variation out of the equation right now and bury the lines so that the poles are not starting the fires in the future. Anyway, it is enraging to see california doing the same exact thing as in the past and not doing better by simply starting right now by burying those lines before rebuilding. They have the time to do so, so do it right, start out right and start out more safe than before and bury the lines. It does not take a brain surgeon to realize the common sense in this. But maybe the politicians down there have no common sense or want to see this happen again so just keep the lines in the air still.
Yeah, let’s just start from scratch with a multi year billion dollar under-grounding project, no real need to put up poles so people can get on with their lives.
They should have removed all the shrubs and trees after The Palisades Fire back in 2019. I still do not understand why there as so many power poles. Why not have all electrical wire underground.
Edison & the DWP will say it's too costly, but utility companies elsewhere do a lot more undergrounding. My relatives in San Diego say their city & SDGE are managing an ambitious program to place lines under streets & remove poles
We are still in the rainy season in the Los Angeles area and yet no great amounts of rain fell. The areas burnt now can get mudslides if sufficient rain does fall as February is peak for rain ( 5 days average in that month).
Power underground is a bad idea, especially if it is next to old water infrastructure that is prone to leaking. Water split with electricity = hydrogen and oxygen = explosion under ground, not good if you happen to be driving over that section of the road.
@@falcosparverius1. Most of our power is underground in Minnesota. Only the older areas are above ground…and those neighborhoods are unsightly because of it.
@@john8451 It's most costly than overhead lines, but Europe for generations has still managed to do a lot of undergrounding. Imagine coastal areas of Italy, France or Spain with power poles all over the landscape.
And so it begins , the infrastructure gets put back , gas company has gas lines turned off until they confirm burned out structures are turned off to lessen the chance of flare up or explosions
Edison & the DWP (which controls the stretch of PCH around the Pacific Palisades), need to get their act together. They eventually should put the utilities under the street. A lot of beachside homes were rigged to overhead lines, so reconnecting them to underground would have have way more difficult. But if a lot of those structures have burned down, the rebuilding of PCH needs to enter the 21st century. Actually, areas like Italy's Amalfi coast have never been full of poles the way PCH has been.
Engraçado, é preciso esperar uma tragédia desse porte pra somente então fazer a limpeza dos matos secos, acho que cada morador poderia fazer isso, limpar os matos secos entorno de suas casas, esperar pelo governo da nisso, não digo os menos afortunados,mas os com condições financeiras, instalar um sistema anti incêndio, similares aos que tem nas empresas e outros lugares em suas casas,fazer a lição de casa, prevenção!
What their doing as far as brush removal is great. But they need a chipping machine to grind up all the undergrowth instead of trying to pack it down in dump trucks! Makes more sense with a chipper. 😊
One of my concerns is the toxic level of heavy metals lingering in all that ash. I fear for the long-term health effects of our front-line heroes just like the cancer that took so many after 9-11. Will the city of LA remove all that contaminated dirt or just let it leach into the soil for future generations to enjoy.
Toxic heavy metal lingering in the ashes? First responder shouting at a pile of debris: Kieth Richards you get out of there right now mister! *Debri Pile Stirs Kieth Richards: Sorry mate.
Apologies. This may seem like a silly question. What prevents power lines from being in the ground? There must be a reason, because it seems so logical...

Hi Fabian, interesting report! 🧐 Did you notice if they were replacing the downed utility poles with all metal poles, or were some of the replacements still wooden? 🤔 With the wildfire risk in LA 🔥, it seems like using metal poles would make a lot more sense. Have you had a chance to speak with any officials about this? 🗣

Utilities are using archaic methods to rebuild. Every power pole in Japan is concrete or steel. Wood, really? And even then, we should bury the lines.
Clearing the brush is like closing the barn door after the horse already bolted.

Better late than never. Unfortunately, there will be more fires and they will be more prepared.

A lot of beachside homes were rigged to overhead lines, so reconnecting them to underground would have have way more difficult. But if a lot of those structures have burned down, the rebuilding of PCH needs to enter the 21st century. Actually, areas like Italy's Amalfi coast have never been full of poles the way PCH has been.
Bro, can you also show what survived? For example, it looks like Duke's survived after all.
So now fire prevention is getting done?
I can’t get past that incredible scenery. The ocean + mountains. Gorgeous. Now I can understand why people love Los Angeles so much.
Let’s get rid of the brush now😂😂😂😂
Engraçado, é preciso esperar uma tragédia desse porte pra somente então fazer a limpeza dos matos secos, acho que cada morador poderia fazer isso, limpar os matos secos entorno de suas casas, esperar pelo governo da nisso, não digo os menos afortunados,mas os com condições financeiras, instalar um sistema anti incêndio, similares aos que tem nas empresas e outros lugares em suas casas,fazer a lição de casa, prevenção!
way to go Newsom! the media is so proud of you
What their doing as far as brush removal is great. But they need a chipping machine to grind up all the undergrowth instead of trying to pack it down in dump trucks! Makes more sense with a chipper. 😊
The fact that Gavin allowed the roadside brush alone to build up like that should get him tossed out of the state, much less be Governor of the State.
They're probably putting the power poles back up so they can restore the traffic lights on PCH and get power back to unburned parts of that area.
One of my concerns is the toxic level of heavy metals lingering in all that ash. I fear for the long-term health effects of our front-line heroes just like the cancer that took so many after 9-11. Will the city of LA remove all that contaminated dirt or just let it leach into the soil for future generations to enjoy.
Toxic heavy metal lingering in the ashes?
First responder shouting at a pile of debris: Kieth Richards you get out of there right now mister!
*Debri Pile Stirs
Kieth Richards: Sorry mate.
I was just thinking of asbestos.
it is now that he is clearing the brush and it was before that he had to do this,
My brother was in the California National Guard they sent him to Inverness when the town got covered in a Mudslide
Reminds me of intersections and traffic lights. So many fatalities have to occur before they put one in. In this case, stupidity plays a role.
Now they start clearing Brush...😮
Apologies. This may seem like a silly question. What prevents power lines from being in the ground? There must be a reason, because it seems so logical...
Why are these fire hydrants flooding? Bolts are bad,,,, not maintained by the Dept of water and power,,,,,,
What are the large white bags you are passing by along PCH on the waterfront side
Probably full of dirt for backfilling the power poles
When the rains come, and they will, there will be mud everywhere!
It’s almost to much to take inn, entire neighbourhoods just wiped out , remember how bad the paradise fire was ,,this is a hundred times worse
¨ Dejar el mundo atrás ¨
...y así fue como comenzó.
They have the opportunity to not allow construction along that part of the coast. Keep the coast free of development. Make it a public space.
what's up with all the gas-powered tools ,I thought all this was banned on the first of the year, in California
I can see it from their p.o.v. How many batteries would be needed to keep each tool available 24 hours a day, seven days a week?
35:53 DOWN GOES FRAZIER! 😂
Are electric poles made of wood or concrete?
@@fatihkamehame wood in California, they are steel in Northern Australia where we have fires all the time. Common sense really.
⚜ POWER poles??? Weren't they the culprit to start with? These power lines should all be UNDERGROUND! When will people ever learn the error of their ways?
After 8,000 structure are destroyed....NOW they clear the brush!
I hope the pay for these guys is very very well for all this landscape removal of potential fire kinlin.
Can U S bring their Army from EU, Middle East, Indian Pasific, we are very tired of the Wars U S have started in the past 80 years.
Can you look after your own, and fq o f f
..?
No. You fq off.
This is overkill !!! Fire 🔥 is over with now ,please can you go back where you came from?
What about Nobu restaurant?
Maybe a new thing moving forward would be too control the amount of vegetation in and around residential communities....and burying of electrical grid in some fashion....I know earthquakes may prevent that but there has to be something.... Glad to see people moving forward..... God be with 😎
37.30 what they are doing ???
Living embodiment of nature. Sure.
Hi Fabian, interesting report! 🧐 Did you notice if they were replacing the downed utility poles with all metal poles, or were some of the replacements still wooden? 🤔 With the wildfire risk in LA 🔥, it seems like using metal poles would make a lot more sense. Have you had a chance to speak with any officials about this? 🗣
All of those poles are wooden. Wooden poles are cheap and plentiful. Metal or concrete poles are expensive.
No no, don't misunderstand, they are cutting all vegetation that might hold steady the hill side when that rain comes:)
Damed if you do and damed if you don’t.....Sometimes that is the way of things! 🤡
Yes, of course !
