private firefighters is the most dystopian thing I heard in a while ... I have no idea how it is structured in the US but in germany a lot of firefighters work for free to help ppl (I guess over there as well?!)
I think in a MASS scale situation like this you’re seeing everything… federal/military, “CAL FIRE”, local and foreign government, non-profit, volunteer, civilian, and private for-hire firefighters…. There are even trained prisoners fighting the fires
Nobody, not even you can live on nothing. These boys are fedral, state, and local. They all have families. Who pays you? Do you work for free? Your talking about my son.
Exactly. Dry weather, and hot 100mph winds. A single tiny little spark is enough to wipe out the land. The conditions are the problem. Firefighters local goverment can only do so much. The climate is changing and it's not taken seriously enough, some don't even believe it's a thing
Indeed. That’s why it is important to prepare and proactively engage in fire mitigation strategies. Sadly, our elected officials (mayor, governor Newsom) have neglected to do this. Even after they were warned multiple times.
@@funstuff9921and what mitigation strategies do you suggest?? “Sweeping” the dry bush is just not practical, when there isn’t the man power to get to certain areas. So how do you stop the high winds and already dry conditions?
American news is very dramatic. Lots of noise and big "Breaking news" messages across the screen. Russell Howard's video on here called "The Difference Between US vs UK Ebola news coverage" really made that clear
The folks who died trying to save their homes probably didn't have insurance. Knowing that you could end up on the street with absolutely nothing is a strong motivator. Very sad.
Cloud seeding in CA for weather modification (make it rain) has been going on since the 1950's. The Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority runs cloud seeding operations over the mountains of San Bernadino and LA area. But they are not doing any of that. No water to stop these fires is not gross incompetence but rather intentional. The mayor of LA said they will rebuild, but dont expect the previous single homes but rather the introduction of smart 15-minute cities. This is no accident.
A very tragic incident, all the sympathies go with the victims particularly who have lost their loved ones and thumbs up for those who are fighting to contain it!
*Genocidal Dump said he would bring hell on Palestinian, but earthly hell of fire came to Jewish populated mostly pro Zionist areas of Los Angeles instead*
Well, now that there are 10,000 or so new "rich" homeless people in LA, maybe the city / county / state will actually do something about the problem. Good news is, there's a shit load of newly available land that can be redeveloped and used for housing the homeless.
It never ceases to amaze me how uncivilized and hateful people can be. To the horrible people leaving negative comments to our suffering, we will rebuild as we always do. We will even be better than before. California will be even richer and more beautiful than before.
How are people hateful? Your country literally burns down other people's countries through wars, coups, economic sanctions. The LA fires are not even justifiable retribution from the people the US has victimised worldwide - it's just nature. But retribution may still come later.
5 fires shown on satalite which all started at the same time, was a deliberate act, by some *bad actors*.It's been happening all over the USA for a few yrs now & it's the average person who is sadly suffering.Vote woke go broke it would seem,because painting rainbows on rd's seemed more important than forrestry management, funding police & training fire fighters properly, DEI hires, your water being sold off to private companies, corperate/globalist USA isn't working for people anymore.The weird Cali thing didn't work well people have been leaving for yrs.Wishing you well & stay safe.I really hope they can get things under control & no more people perish x Looks like hell on earth.
Three wildfires are still burning in the Los Angeles area and the largest, the Palisades Fire, is just 14 percent contained LA City mayor Karen Bass said " urgent preparations" are being made after the National Weather Service forecasted close to hurricane force winds this week Some 24 people have been killed by the fires, with at least 23 still unaccounted for and authorities said the death toll is expected to increase. 😥 🙏 🔥
Seems like the death toll is about 1 for every 100 homes burned. The fire intensity is such that not all who are missing will be found. My family lost a lot of our history with these fires, the town where our parents to great great grandparents once lived. But so many people have lost their present and all or part of their future. Tragic!
and Kim Kardashian look at this According to the report, Kardashian, who lives in a 60-million-dollar mansion, also ignored the rules and used the equivalent of around 878,000 liters of water too much. The result: a hefty fine. And she has done it again
It kills me knowing how many precautions have been ignored. Measures that have usually been funded and enforced caught lacking. Simple things like storing water. Now the governors want to send hard working men and women into what looks like hell on earth to try stop it. The enquiry after this should look like the French Revolution because fuck me heads should roll.
Can you please supply details? Because from what I've seen: LA is undergoing one of the worst droughts in it's history: "Southern California, the site of the fires, has been experiencing drought conditions and has not seen significant rainfall for months. The US Drought Monitor’s latest map shows that as of December 31, 2024, 40.9 percent of the California is drought free. Last year around this time, as of January 2, 2024, 96.65 percent of California was drought free.' ..in conjunction with some incredibly high winds recorded "We really haven’t seen a season as dry as this one following a season as wet as the previous one - all of that extra abundant growth of grass and vegetation followed immediately by a wind event of this magnitude while it’s still so incredibly dry,” Daniel Swain, a climate scientist at University of California, Los Angeles, said on a livestream on Monday. " The extraordinary winds are the main driver - literally,” said Stephen Pyne, emeritus professor at Arizona State University’s School of Life Sciences. “These are near-hurricane force winds. There is no firepower on Earth capable of stopping the flames; they quickly blow past any initial responses fire crews can make, and they will continue until the winds cease or they run out of fuel (eg: The pacific ocean).
Rebuilding 🔥 fire resistance homes . Nothing is 100% fireproof. But there are building materials you can use that are fire-resistant or fire-retardant. The building materials will vary depending on where you're building a residential home.

California tried ordering 10 X Russian BE200 firefighting planes in 2017 but FEMA and local politicians forced California to end discussions with Russia on this deal!! Maybe a lawsuit coming up against government?
Those who were at the awards a night before the fire need to repent and denounce those words they said if you watched it you know what i mean .....No one mocks God
It's ironic how in 2023, people in the U.S. criticized Canada for not containing wildfires spread across the country. Maybe we didn’t do such a bad job after all!
True! The Canadian wildfires were in remote parts of Quebec. These fires are literally within kilometres of a major metropolitan area, much easier to reach, and far greater reason to invest in wildfire prevention/mitigation. But if you have seen US infrastructure, you'll not be surprised.
The time to, actually, do back-burning is getting less and less. They haven't had rain in about 10 months. So it's not a wise move to backburn when the ground is so dry.
It was very important for BBC to shine light on these private firefighters, but Joe Torres did not respond a single question with a straight answer. One of their services focuses on prevention, wich is huge and very important for home owners. But what about when the fire is already there?
Of all the destruction going on, the sign getting destroyed would be the least of ones concerns, not like anyone lives in it, has all they memories and stuff in there and is far less expensive and easy to replace than any house. :/
Yeah...after Mayor cutting the budget..sure they are well prepared. Let her go and fight the fire ..then she might see how well prepared these firefighters are in regards to equipment and most importantly water!!
The sad part is where did all child children go? Well, you need to rich sick people I think you’re gonna find a lot of weird shit in basement. A lot of people are gonna be scared.
Don't smile happily when your enemy is in trouble, because once he was your friend. At this time, you only see his faults. Let's worship the Lord Buddha.
Don’t forget about ordinary working people and homeless people who are left with nothing or being passed because they are invisible at the best of times it’s not just wealthy,in a situation like this doesn’t matter rich or poor fire doesn’t care.
Notice how the Private Fire Service guy says; The homes we were able to 'touch & get to' and 'interact with'. Not 'SAVE'! He's saying ,'We Tried!' When you have a fire of this magnitude & and speed, no service can stop it - whether privately or publicly funded. And the people who pay for 'private services' need to understand this. BUT - can you imagine the anguish &/ or fury of people nearby, - whose properties &/or family members might have been closer to the flames - watching these 'private' guys ignore them & drive right by - heading to their paid customers. This is an even greater devastating - & divisive - scenario...
The United States has used its veto several times for more than a year to prevent a ceasefire in Gaza. I hope you take heed so that God may have mercy on you. I wish you safety despite everything and hope that peace will prevail in this world.
@ We may be idiots, but for 433 days, we have been witnessing very heartbreaking scenes in Gaza, knowing that the United States is behind them. Therefore, it is natural for images of the California wildfires to appear before our eyes and for our minds to associate them with Gaza. This connection is beyond our ability to control our emotions, as our inability to help Gaza has led us to entrust our matters to God. And when we see such events, the thought may cross our minds that it could perhaps be God’s punishment
True, whilst the catasthropic situation in gaza is man-made and could be stopped within a few day by the US, they still persist on sending weapons to make it worse. It reminds me of the story of the Pompeiian, where they offend the god and the volcano erupt along with the strong wind sweeping from both the sea and land making their escape impossible
Don't forget the US's main role in burning down Ukraine, by organising a coup and then instigating it to fight a proxy war against Russia on behalf of US geopolitical interests.

I moved here from Santa Monica 30 years ago and I will not go back. Bakersfield is a NO STRESS CITY.
How can this area not be subjected to earthquakes or fires? California is all on fault lines. So you will get earthquakes, in fact you had a 3.1 earthquake only 4 days ago on Jan 9th 2025. You are a hot desert climate, with very little rainfall and sweltering hot summers. So fires can and will happen where you are.

Just terrible 😢 heart breaking
Leave it to the Americans to even turn a natural disaster in to a reality show.
This will only end when the weather slows down
Don't smile happily when your enemy is in trouble, because once he was your friend. At this time, you only see his faults. Let's worship the Lord Buddha.
Jesus is the way, truth and life , if Christ not in you , you none of God .
Repent and do what is right . Lord Jesus say , love God and love others .
LA forests?
LA mountains, hills,
canyons and wilderness.
I find it odd that there are always a dozen people with time on their hands to stand behind the one person giving the up-dates.
They also give updates. That’s why they are there. This report hasn’t got time to show all of them
Don’t forget about ordinary working people and homeless people who are left with nothing or being passed because they are invisible at the best of times it’s not just wealthy,in a situation like this doesn’t matter rich or poor fire doesn’t care.
Prayers for Southern California 🙏
UA-cam! WAKE UP!
BBC. I don't believe anything I see here. Should not have clicked this link.

Notice how the Private Fire Service guy says;
The homes we were able to 'touch & get to' and 'interact with'.
Not 'SAVE'!
He's saying ,'We Tried!'
When you have a fire of this magnitude & and speed, no service can stop it - whether privately or publicly funded.
And the people who pay for 'private services' need to understand this.
BUT - can you imagine the anguish &/ or fury of people nearby, - whose properties &/or family members might have been closer to the flames - watching these 'private' guys ignore them & drive right by - heading to their paid customers.
This is an even greater devastating - & divisive - scenario...
The United States has used its veto several times for more than a year to prevent a ceasefire in Gaza. I hope you take heed so that God may have mercy on you. I wish you safety despite everything and hope that peace will prevail in this world.
This has nothing to do with Gaza. Only an idiot would turn this into a tit for tat scenario.
@ We may be idiots, but for 433 days, we have been witnessing very heartbreaking scenes in Gaza, knowing that the United States is behind them. Therefore, it is natural for images of the California wildfires to appear before our eyes and for our minds to associate them with Gaza. This connection is beyond our ability to control our emotions, as our inability to help Gaza has led us to entrust our matters to God. And when we see such events, the thought may cross our minds that it could perhaps be God’s punishment
True, whilst the catasthropic situation in gaza is man-made and could be stopped within a few day by the US, they still persist on sending weapons to make it worse. It reminds me of the story of the Pompeiian, where they offend the god and the volcano erupt along with the strong wind sweeping from both the sea and land making their escape impossible
Don't forget the US's main role in burning down Ukraine, by organising a coup and then instigating it to fight a proxy war against Russia on behalf of US geopolitical interests.
@@inesbarnat8579 MAYBE ON OCT 8TH THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE BLOWN UP ISRAEL.SAY NO TO WAR, INSTEAD OF TAKING SIDES, YOU CAN'T STOP WAR BY WISHING CONFLICT TO CONTINUE ON THE OTHER SIDE & OUR THOUGHTS ARE POWERFUL.A lot of people are disgusted by the entertainment industry & the tunnels with bodies & hostages underneath them, all those who kept quiet, partly because they feared for their lives, but also many of them took part, or were subjected to the R word at those parties, like I said thoughts are powerful,but sadly innocent people have lost their homes, maybe lives & pets.As for Islamists, I think most western nations are actually starting to hate them, because the enjoy doing kids, & taking over nations.They should live without shelter, water food unless they find & grown their own.Wicked disgusting human beings who indonctrinate their kids into the same sick ideology to grow up like these sicko hollywood types.I feel sorry for their kids.
There is no punishment for crime.
Praying from my heart for Los Angels
WATER! WATER! WATER! The earth's surface has two thirds of water to destroy this fire. We also have the technology too. Why not use it. Collaborations are needed from the world's greatest minds to crush this re occurring problem.
The US military has admitted that they have full control of the weather. You should asking why they are deliberately destroying California.
possibly the worst interview I've ever seen
The LA fire has been raging for a week, with no clear sign of relief as winds and the forces of nature continue to fuel the crisis. This is a challenge that affects all of humanity. People of all faiths should come together to pray for an end to this disaster and extend their hands to support the victims in their time of need.*I want to hear how this chapter sounds.
Thank God for our Governor Newsom ! 😂
Theyre ready.. i doubt that.
Gav the gov says he helped lead preparations for fire prevention in LA. Good! Did they work?? Might be better to list the things he DIDN’T do.
I'm in socal. The wind is 5mph.
I’m in Oxnard north of Malibu, it’s violently windy now on Monday 12:35 pm. There’s red flag warnings all over the coast.
I dont think there's gonna be any more fires. I think the media just want to keep views up
has anyone seen that bbc article on the arrest of ex Labour MP Ivor Caplin ? cant seem to find it anywhere …
*Karma is real.*
What did the people of LA do?
@@AaronwhatnowPalestine
@Aaronwhatnow they vote for... you know that right.
Californians are mostly pro-Palestine and pro-open border, so yeah, it's karma that illegal immigrants and Muslim arsonists are destroying their homes. 😂
@@Nemeniswhat did they do in Palestine?
Why are these types of News Conferences have so many people behind the Speaker????? They should be doing their job out in the streets.
I hope this devastation will not stop Americans from funding the Ukraine war
We stand only with Israel . Biden will give us 8 billions
We welcome everyone to come to Bakersfield only 1 hour and 20 minutes from Altadena, $300.000 will buy you a nice home, Only 1 hour and 15 minutes from Hollywood BLVD and we have no danger of floods, tsunamis, fires, earthquakes, congested traffic, high winds, high gasoline prices, we have 2 Costco's, 6 super Wal-Mart's, 10 new car dealers, 2 bedroom apartment rentals are average $1.300 a month, and hot days are only 2 months out of the year, and that is just to mention a few positive reasons to live here. I moved here from Santa Monica 30 years ago and I will not go back. Bakersfield is a NO STRESS CITY.
How can this area not be subjected to earthquakes or fires? California is all on fault lines. So you will get earthquakes, in fact you had a 3.1 earthquake only 4 days ago on Jan 9th 2025. You are a hot desert climate, with very little rainfall and sweltering hot summers. So fires can and will happen where you are.
Can you lend me the 300K?
Better than that. Check out current conditions from Helene MONTHS later. Please tell everyone to please send more help to all these storm victims 🙏 more prayers for all
Did they find water yet?
