This is something different, but because of that, I think and hope that you’ll really appreciate it even more.
I had to give it a dislike I watch this to watch you reporting on news dont really want some outside source or your employees from you other channels delivering me the news kinda fucking boring. I wanted to learn about the video but was too slow and boring for me
Thank you so much for this video, Phil and team! Really exceptional content, from giving Iris a voice to the journalistic work to the way it was shot. Just great!
Very well done, thank you.
This video was really moving, it really brought home the devastation that has happened to her community
Right in the Phil's man 😢
Dani is so good at stories like this. She is compassionate and empathetic. She has a great personality that makes her relatable. Please give her more assignments like this.
Wow, I could not imagine. What is really moving is how selfless she is. Almost the whole time she is talking about all the other families that have been affected and her community. Such a beautiful lady. Praying help goes her way ASAP and she get’s all the help and support to get through this horrible time. Just Donated $50 to the GoFundme.
Kenzie Nelson agreed, she’s a kind soul. It is extremely unfortunate that these fires take with them even the things she held most dear to her :( not to mention the mounting stress it causes people.
"All the revenue will go to the Coyne family. Unfortunately the video has been demonetized so they received a buffalo nickel with the UA-cam logo pressed into it."
I'd like to see an explanation from UA-cam why Jake Paul deserves to get ad money for his videos but something about this video means this lady shouldn't.
I just got an add on it. Hopefully UA-cam fixed it.
I got ads
Thank you for ending this video with a black screen instead of an outro card. That last few seconds of silence gives a little time for everything you just heard to hit you. Glad my YT Red subscription is helping someone in need, and I will also be donating what little I can to help those affected. Much love from Florida, where we know how it is.
I thought I'd never live to see California become a red state.
Thank you and your team for this video
Rambling Ryan it’s someone else’s video. What are you thanking for?
"And so *I* sent out Dani Rosenberg *from the team* into the field"
Abhishek Shah I wouldn’t have seen it, enjoy your day
Hey man
hard.to.watch. My lord. And you still have to pay a mortgage after your house burned down.. think about that.
The thing that angered me a lot from reading comment sections on international news about our local fires (I live in Ventura County) is that they just assume every one is rich. They don’t realize that many people moved into the area way before the prices where so high. There is also a lot of people that lost jobs in working in those big houses. My cousins boyfriend was allowed to keep his gardening equipment at one of the houses he worked at and everything he had burned with the house. My cousin lost three houses she cleaned. This doesn’t just affect the rich people in the huge pretty houses it affects their employees too.
Thank you for this.
I am from Paradise, CA. The town completely destroyed by the Camp Fire in a matter of mere hours. It's been incredibly difficult to come to terms with that everything we have ever known is gone. My grandmother's home that's been in the family for generations: gone. My aunt's home of 20+ years: gone. I watched as the devastation of my town and it's people was turned into jokes and political bullshit and I became increasingly bitter. I also saw the people of Paradise, Magalia and the surrounding areas pull together to help one another in such a way that I've never felt more of a connection to them all.
I urge you all not to forget about the fires after the news stops coming out about them. It's so easy to move on, like the video stated. Please keep everyone in your thoughts and consider donating.
Are you in a shelter right now? I live in Gridley, we moved out of Paradise about 3 months ago. My mom works at a synagogue that can help with some stuff. We have been at shelters everyday since the fire first started.
I understand your loss completely and your frustration. I didn't lose my home or home town to a fire but we lost it to a hurricane. The whole Parish was wiped out. But no one ever talked about it because they were too busy talking about a different hurricane. It went unnoticed and so many people weren't able to restart because no one cared. It was truly heartbreaking.
It's heartbreaking to hear your story. I really hope for a quick recovery for your family.
Yeah I’m from paradise too and lost everything as well. I wish there was more visibility on our fire in this video but I can understand why that can be hard to do.
I was born in Cali and grew up in Santa Rosa until I was 12. I wasn't in the path of destruction last year, but I still think about the fire and how much it did to the place I called home for so many years. To still have a stake in the place as it goes up in flames can only feel much worse.
Lydia Stubbs aye I’m from Gridley too! I’m so proud of this town for helping those in need during and after the Camp Fire
This was really well done . Phil and your team should be proud . This was a great insight
I love that you showed a lower income family, I’m not from California so all I understood it to be was wealthy families, not that that lessens what happened, more that it makes it more relatable.
I agree showing a lower income family and what they face makes this more relatable. Lots of us in the rest of the country hear California wildfires and think mansions in the hills.
Why do you care about what class of people suffered in the fire?
Why does the person have to be poor for you to have sympathy?
@@elijahjohnson8921 it's not that there is an absence of sympathy for certain classes, but as the video itself points out, other people may have more resources to deal with the situation. Maybe other people haven't been rendered effectively homeless. Maybe they have very good insurance which pays for them to stay somewhere or make bill payments until they are back on their feet. The loss of life, health or irreplaceable momentos is hard for all, but losing your home and being left with extremely limited options is yet another added difficult to a tragic situation.
Elijah Johnson he literally said “not that that lessens what happened”. Stop putting words in people’s mouths.
At first, I thought this was going to be typical tear-jerker catastrophy porn, but it was a well-rounded, well-researched piece! More videos like this, please! (and less 'news' about celebrity drama!)
ro pro i dont mind a little tear jerking, but yea 100%
Poor lady. Reminds me very much of the Black Saturday fires in Australia in 2009. That was horrific. California has had the exact same conditions as we had that lead to that weekend.Years of drought and everything bone dry - it goes up like a tinder box. My heart goes out to the victims of these recent fires.
Yeah, plus they LOVE planting monocrops of gum (ornamental) & pine trees (logging industry) so it all goes up at once & spreads insanely fast.
Wow Phil, this is a really well-edited video!
ajaesque haven't watched yet, hopefully this isn't sarcasm.
Thank his editor, Jason Mayer 👌🏼
@@DrBees-ms2vt ... Why would it be?
He didn’t edit it himself lol...
@@kolanut Exactly...smh.
The crazy part is the Woolsey fire was significantly less terrible than the camp fire.
xJ0LLYR0GERx Yeah I’m from the Paradise and lost everything including some of my peers. It’s really heartbreaking, I wish they touched on the Camp Fire since it’s the most destructive and deadliest fire in California. But I understand that it’s hard to go up here.
@@jackiewharton8730 I actually work for one of the main insurance companies in Chico. I'm sorry to hear you lost someone and I hope your insurer is taking good care of you. 🙂
@@jackiewharton8730 Paradice is 95% gone...I think they should have said something about it. 88+ people died in the Camp Fire. Something should have been said.
I'm really fucking pissed off that he didnt cover the campfire.
(Evacuee here)
It's probably because he didn't have the resources to cover the story. It's still new and I'm sure if they weren't able to access the area where this woman lived after so much time that it would be doubly difficult for the camp fire. This took a lot of work, research and personal interaction that I believe could not have been accomplished this soon after the camp fire. Be pissed at your govt not at Phil. He's doing his part.
Being from Northern California, it's upsetting to see such little discussion and coverage of the camp fire. It did more destruction and was more deadly, but didn't get nearly as much media coverage. Just feels like the devastation here is and was overshadowed by celebrities with multiple homes who could completely afford to rebuild.
Alexia Stewart I agree, I was born and raised in paradise so I was getting kinda frustrated that the media was kinda skipping over us. Also this is very prevalent in this video too, I don’t want to come off as “focus on me” but I think that the 88+ deaths of my peers should have some visibility. I’m 17 and have lost my entire hometown, home, everything.... Both are tragedies, but I just wish that this video discussed it, ya know?
i know exactly what you mean. i was born there and lived there until i was like two. luckily i live in chico, however a quarter of my school lost their homes and it personally affected me. yes, it is tragic that 600 people have list their homes and even more tragically the three people who lost their lives. the amount of overshadow because celebrities had to evacuate is absolutely insane. i dont quite remember how many structures burned in the camp fire, however, i know that it is in the thousands and quite possibly ten thousands. this is such a devastation, especially in such a small community.
Amazing work here Phil, this is very different in comparison to your normal shows platform. I love this and I think it's very well put together and its journalism done correctly. Keep informing the masses and trying to spotlight struggles like this so the human element stays relevant in an otherwise dry and dehumanized news world.
Most definitely agree
Agree completely. I feel like what you're doing here Phil is the edge of new video news media consumption and I'm 1000% here for it
This is a very powerful and moving video, Phil. Thank you and your team for giving a voice to those personally affected.
Now this is the extra content I like to see. Keeping doing things like this
This was a nice change of pace for your channel. I encourage you to do some coverage of the Camp Fire, past the politics. The individual impact on people in both the Woolsey and Camp fire are arguable the same for those who lost everything and my heart goes out to everyone effected. That said the enormity of loss experienced from the Camp fire is no where near comparable and by far so incredibly devastating it's hard to even comprehend w/o seeing it. Towns were destroyed, not just homes. They still haven't found everyone who has been reported missing, insurance companies are going bankrupt from the impact. Surrounding towns have been inundated with 30K evacuees causing major traffic incidents and crime increase. Entire utility companies have been 100% compromised and lawsuits pending against PG&E for negligence up here could likely lead to bankruptcy. It wasn't just a fire in the woods--it was total inhalation for part of northern California. Then to add to the disaster parts of the valley floor where evacuees had fled too experienced major flooding days later. So thank you for this video but again, please consider doing the same for the Camp Fire. Here are the numbers from Cal Fire: Camp Fire - 153,336 acres, 18,793 structures burned--14K of which were homes and there were 88 fatalities. The Woolsey fire stands at 96,949 acres, 1,500 structures burned, 600 of which were homes and there were 3 fatalities.
*Damn those onion slicing ninjas... First thing in the morning though?*
For omelets...you know how they love their omelets.
Same here. My brother lost everything in camp fire. It pulls at my heart, especially since I work in home restoration post disaster. Every day is someone's worst day. My heart aches
I'm glad my wife understands how empathetic I can be cause I'm laying in bed just waking up and this had me crying for these people
I hope the firefighters were able save some of their things before they had to go fight the fire. That would be awful working while you know your house is about to be destroyed and they can't even go back to get any of your important things.
Le reddit silver member the moment the fire started nearly every firefighter and volunteer firefighter was called into action immediately..by the time they knew their house was going to be gone, it was already too late to go back, the fires moved OVER a football field a minute
Hopefully they had family to pack up what they needed.
I’m drinking my coffee and weeping for these families. So much is taken for granted in our daily lives, and they have had EVERYTHING taken from them. My hearts aches.
I feel like you should have had way more coverage of the Camp Fire and those affected communities. I feel like we are way more impacted by these fires, both by the loss of homes and people
This really puts things into perspective... So much loss and devastation... I really feel for these people...
Idk much about news networks, but I would say this vid here is proof that the PDS is a legit "AAA" news network by now.
Pemocity AA and a half. He’s getting there
AA
maskyschannel it feels kinda like vox. I’m not sure whether to like it or not. Vox is super liberal so I just hope Phil keeps it moderate
Thank you for this video. It was needed and should be seen by everyone.
Also, to Ms. Coyne, the fact that what ripped you apart is that you have nothing to leave your son shows that you've given him the best, life-long gift any mother could- true love.
I'm at a loss for words. Thank you Phil & team for showing this. It's one thing to see a 2 - 5 minute footage of the fires & interviews on the news but just watching & listening to the vlog - the process, the town, insurance coverage, the drought. More than happy to donate.
Ahh... everyone needs a good cry before their 10am exam. Thanks Defranco❤

10 am presentation for me.. 😖
Good luck @everyone in this thread
Damn. Phillip Defranco becoming more legitimate again.
Thank you Phil,
I’ve been watching you and your team grow for over the last ten years and I’m touched to say your voice has always remained relevant to me.
I’m a recent victim of the Paradise, Camp Fire. Myself, and more than 30 of my coworkers lost our homes and memories to natural disasters that seem unimaginable.
Thank you for taking the time and attention to reach out to affected refugees. I love your face.
Kind of surprised you didn't touch on the CampFire that basically deleted my entire home town and half of other neighboring towns. I'm the only one of my family that is in the next town over, but everyone else is still in Paradise (were I guess now), today is the first day that my sister can go and look at her home's ashes, and that's only because she's in the lower section of Paradise that the government is opening up to the public so far... It's just crazy shit, the situation is rough.
I was surprised at how little the CampFire was mentioned, too. I've lived in Chico for several years, and the amount of impact the CampFire has had for the whole community is staggering. I'm so sorry for you and your family.
I'd love to hear more stories about campfire. I completely understand what it's like to not have coverage of it. I had to actually Google it to see if the fire was even still burning. Because I hadn't heard anything about it for weeks. It's really depressing. We lost everything to Hurricane. The whole Parish was gone. All the towns inside gone. We heard coverage of it for like two days and then after that absolutely nothing. Because they just went to a different story. No one cared and it was such a horrible feeling.
I’m from paradise too and I was getting kinda upset about it, I understand that it could be hard to get like an close interview with a victim of the fire but come on. It’s the most destructive and deadliest fire in California rn.
I’m so sorry! I was heart broken...literally crying watching videos on here, of people just running and trying to get away! Caught in traffic on burning roads, screaming...”Move!” I am sending love to you all even though that can’t help...I WISH I COULD!!
I'm sure the insurance company will try and find some excuse not to pay out, because insurance companies are bastards.
I'm sure if you were running an insurance company, you'd be playing the same card.
We're all saints until we're put into someone else's shoes.
@@xxxdroidmonkeyxxx That's a bit presumptuous that everyone is only out for the money, if that was true everyone would live in mansions and have 6 figure incomes.. Some people just want to get by, if you're running a business you merely want to have enough to pay what you owe and make enough to better your company and do better than you would if you didn't own your own business.. If that means putting money back for when disasters happen or raising rates so that those affected can get their homes rebuilt is just a couple ideas on how to get the money, they don't have to make hundreds of millions that goes into the pockets of the big wigs, they choose to. And instead of those big wigs not getting their fat checks, most insurance companies would rather fight low income families so they don't have to do what they're contractually obligated to so yeah most businesses are there to screw you but they don't have to be, they would rather keep their wallets fat and let people be homeless who paid for a service and then will get swindled out of said service..
It begs the question, what's the point of shilling out so much money to insurance companies if they won't event help you out and put minimum effort into helping families rebuild from unexpected horrific events?! It goes the same for healthcare insurance.
@@VannaMae Reputable insurance companies do pay as long as the claim is valid. Their hope is that people pay and never have to file a claim, but sometimes they lose money on people who paid less over the years than the claim they make. That's the business.
I agree. We had a lot of damage from hurricane Michael and are having a hell of a time getting our insurance to do a damn thing. I feel for all of these people
I'm impressed by the cinemetography and editing. Bravo. Excellent way of humanizing the fire.
I've been watching for years and i never comment. however... for this i have to say great job! quality news.
Hopefully you have great insurance, and your employer is cool to be patient while you sort it all out...
Welcome To The Madness even then. After my house burned down in a fire, the construction company that most people hired to rebuild scammed people. FEMA (this was in 2003) said the car we had that blew up and that the FEMA rep literally could not tell had been a car had “insufficient damage” and would not compensate us. The price and availability for the few rental homes available in our neighborhood skyrocketed and people were not able to be near their work or school. Once we were finally able to rebuild, people in the neighborhood would complain about how they wish their houses had burned down because then they could have a nice, new, rebuilt house (yes, really). Never mind irreplaceable items like family heirlooms and photos (less of a problem now with things like google drive and iCloud, but still) which were just gone forever.
Obviously it’s easier with financial stability and success, but it sucks no matter what.
@@UsulPrincess this is wrong. I've been in insurance nearly a decade and this is objectively false.
OnceUponAPiano I’m sorry for everything you lost. Well wishes, and I hope you were able to get everything sorted.
My family and I among a lot of others lost our place in the CampFire that started a day before Woosley. Both are really bad. Help is slow going but its starting to help some.
I'm sorry about that I hope your doing good.
But he should have made a story about the campfire seeing how much worse it was.
But just like the MEDIA Camp fire doesnt catch views eyes like the Woolsey fire aka "Malibu fire"
Sending my love, Drikpic. My family also lost everything in Camp Fire.
@@aidanfabelaalmodovar7824 I can't help but feel bitter about that fact. Not that the Woolsey Fire victims have suffered any less than we have.
@@RainbowMcFuzzy and the sad part is no one really understands or cares outside of the affected areas because views and money
I'm sorry for your loss @drikpic. I was hoping Phil would've covered some of CampFire victims, both are bad, but Campfire was worse. I just graduated from Chico, and connected with a lot of people from Paradise. Its devastating how many people lost everything, the death toll, people still missing, and all the teachers that commuted to Chico need to relocate. I sent money, but I'm no billionaire so it only made an impact on a couple families for a while. Once again, sorry for your losses, and I hope help gets better out there.
This hits really close to home for me. My dad lost his childhood home to a fire in Southern Idaho a couple years back. It was devastating. Thank you for handing the mic to the people who deserve to be heard most right now.
Im a victim of the CampFire in NorCal, and my family and I lost everything. You don't really ever prepare for losing all your things and your home, but it's been liberating that after everything, I'm still me and nobody can take that away from me. Thank you Phil for this video
Thank you for bringing awareness to this Phil
Very well done video. I’m really impressed by this. Hope to see more like it.
I was indirectly affected by the camp fire. I live in Chico which is the town over from paradise. My cousin lost her home and I know people who lost their homes and still made it to work the next day. It’s insane to think that for people who are devastated life still has to go on. There’s no time to rest for some. I pray for all who are lost right now.
This video is so powerful, left me in tears. We need empathy and compassion to heal our wounds. I pray and hope everyone is safe from the fires. My heart goes out to anyone struggling right now.
That insurance adjustor profits of of pain. "You still have to pay your mortgage while you put the peices back together"
Well it's reality, you still have to pay even if your house is destroyed
Its the responsibility of all adults to try and protect themselves from future events
I know how you feel. But, If they had not offered insurance i the first place.. imagine the consequences
Just wanted to point out. Bank collects the mortgage. You still also have to pay property taxes. So it's not just corporations that take advantage.
@@Xantosdude its not really taking advantage. If you make an agreement to pay for "property" and then that property is destroyed you still have to pay for it. The insurance is gonna help you get a new house. I mean that's why you're paying them for these kinds of moments.
Ask William Osman, he has some good advice since it happened to him.
rip laser
F Retina Smelter will forever live on in our hearts
Rip mr. Bones
laser triggered
Yeah poor dude
Thank you, Phil. My family lost everything in the Camp Fire. My grandfather was actually one of the 85 victims as well. It's so painful trying to explain to people that aren't affected that it's not just stuff. It's not just things. My childhood was in that house. My first employer lost his business. So many people I know lost so much and I know the community; many don't have the means to rebuild. Thank you for trying to help people understand the devastation we have suffered.
Having suffered personally from the Tubbs fire in 2017, losing everything is devastating but what helps is the love and support from others and our community. I think it’s time to start thinking what WE can do to make a difference instead of waiting for the next wildfire to hit another community.
Hey Phil, that was a great video! Please make more of these kind of videos it was very interesting and very sad. I like the direction your channel is taking. Well done to everyone that helped make this video!!!!
Hey Phil and team, really liked the new format please do more of this in the future. If I may make a tiny criticism though, the jump between Iris and lady from the insurance institute felt pretty disjointed in terms of tone. It was a pretty stiff juxtaposition between Iris’ somber tone to Janet’s upbeat upbeat matter of fact tone. Idk if you were trying to say something about the impersonal nature of insurance, but if you were it didn’t read that way to me. Again though, great content, really look forward to more like it in the future.
Ben Cradick I had a similar thought. It made me instantly distrust and dislike the insurance lady. The editing made it come across like she was excited about the claims that would be coming through
As a filmmaker and storyteller I really appreciate this. I know it takes a lot of resources it would be great to see more stories coverd like this. My heart goes out to all the victims of the fire stay strong.
I am less than 2 minutes in and I can already say I absolutely LOVE this format. It really does allow you to connect to the story on a personal level. It becomes more real vs coming off like "storytelling" when it is just a person behind a desk telling you what's going on. Sometimes I feel like the news should start with "once upon a time".
Not that the Woolsey fires weren’t terrible, but you totally overlooked the devastation of the Campfire and the destruction of the city of Paradise, California where over 80 people died.
I was thinking the same thing. It seems disingenuous to make a video on the California fires, plural, and only mention the CampFire in passing. It quickly became the most destructive and the deadliest fire in Californian history. Not saying that Southern California didn't suffer as well, but to not even address the magnitude of the CampFire seems wrong to me.
Sincerely0Charlotte I couldn’t agree more. Far more structures burned and I believe the last count was 84 deaths and counting compared to two. Paradise is no more. I just don’t understand how this skipped his mind. I’m sorry that the Woolsey Fire occurred, but the CampfFirewas still out of control while the Woolsey Fire was under control and on the way to being out. I live in Monterey and our air quality was terrible during the fires although it was nothing like going Sacramento even as the fire was close to being out. You still had to wear respirators.
This is a great but devastating video. Your team did so well with it though and I would definitely love to see more like this on various subjects ranging from serious like the opiate crisis to fun stuff like community programs for kids, or even if you can find a group that does sports like wheelchair basketball or sledge hockey - of course that's personal bias because I used to play those sports, and I'd love to see Phil and some of the team try it out lol Good job folks!
It's great that you made this video,most people don't realize just how difficult and traumatizing things like this are for those affected..I don't know anyone affected by these fires but my ❤ goes out to them
After living through the fires and evacuations here in BC, I was so lucky and grateful to have a home to come back to. I am so sorry for Iris and others who are not so fortunate :(
Its a sad story but very well put together.
Thanks need these before school Phil helps get going
Great video. I'm from Canada but the feels oh the feels. You can feel the real emotion, I was near the tornado when it hit in Ottawa. I was working the day it happened and we were the only store with a backup generator. We were a life line for people that had their homes flooded destroyed and damaged, it's a real eye opener. My smypathies to Iris
I never expected to witness life changing history within my lifetime. Yet I've been steady watching everything in the world change with these past couple of years
Please talk about Prop 2 in Utah, medical marijuana, being completely changed by the LDS church despite people voting for it.
I think he should as well
Yea our state is completely invalidating our votes by allowing the Mormon church to be so heavily involved in our politics. Even many of my LDS friends feel this is an overreach.
Yes please do a video on this as well
I read that as LSD church and started to buy plane tickets to Utah.
People on the outside always like to point to guns as the biggest threat in your country and I am always baffled that very few mention religion there as the influence it has there and the outcomes they seek seem far more terrifying to me. People having a will of their own and displaying that through voting, preposterous!
Fantastic video. This is the type of alternate content I'd be happy to see on the channel!
This is really stunning. You've done an amazing job of communicating the heartbreaking reality of this tragedy. Beautifully shot, beautifully edited. You should all be very proud of the work you've done here.
Well thanks Phil, I didn’t know I needed to cry that hard this morning. These are the things we need to see in the news, we need to re-establish our sense of community in this nation. Love what you are doing.
Fantastic video, well created and edited. Disappointed it was only on Woolsey and not Camp. Comparatively, much more devastating. That is the area I grew up in and have family impacted from it. But I get it, you're located there. But youre still Californian Philly D.
Daammmn you NEED to do more of these
I am so so sorry for Iris. I hope she is able to recover from all of this.
If this is an example of the future of the Philip Defranco Show I’m here for it. Great job Danny and PDS staff.
This is heartbreaking. I'm from California with my father being a retired fire fighter and my husband working for cal fire for 5 years before we moved. Both my father and my husband are dumbfounded by the devastation and fire activity. Even though we understood the droughts effects on the vegetation it still doesn't prepare you for the loss to all communities involved. The air quality in the town I grew up in was so bad they needed to close the schools for a day. Thank you to the defranco team for creating this to bring light into this darkness.
love the morning shows, keep them up.
Nice to see something different on the channel, really freshens the channel, kinda like a small break/detour to reset
Phil your morning vid are great. The body of work you put together with your team are addictive. I’ve been watching you for years and to see your channel mature makes me think how much I’ve grown. Keep it up Philly D you beautiful bastard
Every time she cried I cried, I wish I can give more than just thoughts and prayers but its literally all I have to give
i was burnt out a few years ago = became homeless with wheelchair in my van. just recently got a rental in another state. i have still not recovered yet from the extreme trauma as no help or care for some of us.
~ seems the fire returned again to burn out the 'old' people; as such great land for future resorts (for the wealthy in future.) how other to get rid of such people so they can come forth to remodel whole areas and towns to modern rich only. ~ paradise CA once was ~
Alright, Mr. Jones.
Glad to see this getting attention
I have an even greater respect for your team's dedication and hardwork. These stories should never be easy to cover. It's heartbreaking what has happened to the fire victims. Your videos need more shares so more people can have a personal connection with those affected. The video was subtle, yet powerful. Thank you for making people more aware of the difficulties being faced by those affected by the fires.
Losing everything is devastating. Even years later, you think, "Huh, I haven't seen "blank" in a while, I wonder where it is..." Then you remember it was destroyed and you get that sick feeling in your stomach again. You move past it, you replace the things that can be replaced, but as Iris said, there are some things that can never be replaced, and those are the things that haunt and hurt you the most. My heart, thoughts and good wishes go out to everyone who was affected by these fires and I hope they can all recover. Excellent video!
Well I guess I should be scanning in the old family photos into a database and saving it online. Physically I guess they can be destroyed but I guess if we can keep an echo of that item... it’s just every time I big disaster happens flood, fire, Ect. Photos are brought up and I guess it got me thinking saving the original is important but if it’s on the internet as long as the data isn’t badly corrupted or the world doesn’t end that’s effectively there forever.
sharpshooter33 And if - God forbid - you ever lose the original photos in a disaster, you can always download them from the cloud and print new copies (provided you’ve scanned them and backed them up in the cloud).
Should cover the hundreds of people in Florida living in tents because their homes are still destroyed from the hurricanes
First off bravo to you PD show. You guys are got my attention in terms of real live reporting. Your show is where I get the new highlights and now we can get actual new coverage. You getting all "60mins" on me and everything! Brilliant reporting....thank you.
This just breaks my heart. My family and I went through a house fire about 7 months ago and I sympathize so much with these people. It’s hard to imagine losing everything until you do. My thoughts and good vibes are with everyone affected by these fires, I hope you all land on your feet and rebuild stronger than before. 🖤
I just want to ask all those people who dislike the video, why are the reasons for not liking this type of content?
One said Phil had a channel for this and this channel should be Phil news only. *Rolls eyes*
I can't speak for all of the dislikes, but it looks like a lot of comments are about how this video (and in essence, the crew) only talks about and cares about this one fire, when at the same time as this fire was happening, us up in Northern California had the Camp fire in Paradise, and that was so much bigger, so much more devastating, and had so much more life lost (in vegetation, wild life and humans). And we dealt with after affects of the fire for quit some time as well, air quality wise alone. I can't speak for personal experience about the fire in SoCal, since I'm not from there and didn't visit during the time of the fire or after, but we had immediate poor air quality 150 miles away from paradise, where I live in the SF Bay Area, the day the Camp fire started, not even speaking about living closer to it. But from the news, it looked like if someone's house wasn't in the vicinity of the evac notice, they weren't really affected by it that much. But that's just what the news showed and what I observed watching youtubers who live down there
Well that's a depressing video title...
Nerdy George Washington well what do you want it to be, “the joy of watching your house burn.” Seriously 😒
You should try losing an aunt to the fire. That's depressing.
No hate but, what do u want it to be? “DIY All Natural Wrecking Ball?”
why is that suprising? did you watch the vid? :D
I'm just saying, Phil's video titles are usually more along the lines of "Let's talk about the California fires." Or even like "We talked to a California Wildfire Victim." The actual title just kind of hits you in the face, and I'm not used to it.
I really like this type of content! This is the type of thing we need to see more of in news in general. Real people, talking about their real situations on a human level. Not talking heads politicizing tragedies.
This is a very important message! Thank you for representing one of many voices from these terrible fires.
I can eat breakfast while Phily D fills me in
Wishing anyone affected by the fires the best! Sending out my prayers to you and your families.
thank you im sure the thoughts and prayers can be cashed somewhere.
Stephen Ortiz the families must be so relieved now that you prayed for them...
How about doing something useful, like sending donations?

Tommy Nilsson Of course it would mean nothing to someone without faith, but wouldn’t you agree that any amount of positivity is better than none? This is who I am, let’s just have respect for each other and their ideals. :)
Now THIS is the type of video(s) we expected from you Phil. FANTASTIC piece! Please give us more of this and give Dani and whoever edited this film a raise because they did a great job!
My childhood home burned down almost 10 years ago and I'm still not really over it. Losing everything like that is something that just sticks with you.
Well thx for waking me up..sigh... Well time to look for signs of a hope for humanity.
Good luck with that buddy, if ya happen to find any lemme know yea?
Sad!
I love how much effort was put in by every team member. Thank you for sharing this in the way you did.
Because the first thing I wanted to do when I woke up was watch a video that made me tear up. Very well done everyone. Can today's PDS be all sunshine and rainbows now?
so early, i haven't gotten the notification yet.
Gotta Go To School Phil Catch Ya Layer
Bravo.
Nothing like coffee & tears to start your day
I lost it when she started talking about losing stuff her mother had given, pictures etc. Memories are so important to us. Not having anything to pass down would be absolutely devastating to me. Her story hit me so hard because it's so relatable. My grandma holds on to every little trinket or doodad she finds because it's all she has. She's not well off, so these little things are all she feels she has for her kids and grandkids to remember her when she's gone. Thinking about her losing that... I just can't. Thank you so much for sharing this family's story, Phil.
And yet firefighters are paid less than 22 guys running on a field and kicking ball, or any other sport for that matter..
Society decides who is paid more. As a whole, America has decided sports players deserve more money than firefighters because the provide a more valuable service. That and they actually make big corporations money. Firefighters don't exactly help this country's bottom line. That's capitalism for ya.
They willingly go into that career, I don’t feel bad for them.
@@sharkyyyx5653 Because you are what many sensible, compassionate people would call: a pig.
It's not because society it's the market and so other variables, first there are way more people that can be a Firefighter that people that are top notch athletes both of them are in high demand, but the number of possible firefighters its way way way higher than the possible Ronaldo, Messi, Brady, Barry Bonds etc, so because that the players are paid a lot because the teams want to have that talent.
The Second point it's that an athlete it's paid mostly by a private company (The Team) so they can pay whatever the want to the players, the Firefighter are publicly funded so you just can pay them some amount to make theme viable.
And the Third and final point that is based on the second, imagine that you paid a Firefighter the same salary a Month that a Top Notch Athlete, yes a lot of people would apply, but just only win California there is at least 12000 firefight imagine need to paid than 3 million dollar a month to those 12000 the funds are going to disappear in less that a fucking yearso it's not feasible to do that.
@@Ms666slayer But it IS feasible to use government funds to pay for multi-million dollar stadiums. To give giant billion dollar corporations million dollar tax breaks. Because... Trickle down theory works (obviously). Come on, it IS a society issue. America does not value teachers, police officers, or firemen. They are seen as disposable and replaceable. They are not valued employees of this country. Same with veterans. This country is very good at paying lip service without any actual follow through. The government values the private sector and will bend over backwards to make sure they are happy and all their needs met. Not so much firemen. Look up how Republicans (and some Democrats) tried to just let a bill die that was supposed to provide relief to first responders of 9/11 who were suffering severe health issues due being inadequately equipped as the full scope of the damage had yet to be understood. Firefighters, as whole, don't make political contributions on the same scale as private corporations. Thus the politicians deciding whether to offer better health care to them, or build a new stadium, will always go with the Stadium.
And you're right, why make being a firefighter a profession that's desirable to people? Then they might only be in it for the money, and it will be competitive and only the best will be allowed. And that would be... Bad?
Why are we here ? Just to suffer ?
Sometimes it feels that way.
You feel it too, don't you?
@Catapilamilascwerpascitoe (first of all, what a fucking name, bro!) Nice MGS reference ;-)
Thank you for doing this story. Redding CA is my home town, much of my family still live there.
I’ve lived in Sonoma County for the past 18 years and to see first the Valley Fire, then the Tubbs Fire rip through my city of Santa Rosa was so scary. My friends lost their homes and pets only making it out of their homes with their children and still in pajamas, evacuating my own kid and dogs while feeling the heat of the fire and the fear that gripes you is hard to convey if you haven’t seen a wall of fire coming down the mountain into your community.
These past few years have been hard for California but it’s the only home I’ve ever known.
Really appreciated this story. Whilst horrible and saddening, I really appreciated the depth of the story and how you had your people go out and do a piece of something affecting your local. I'm from Australia,and like California, fires devistate our country year after year. While our north floods with cyclones every summer, our south (Victoria, where I am from) we get fire warnings nearly every day during summer. The yellow haze in the air and the smell of burnt wood is always present, but I've never lost our home. I can't begin to imagine this woman's Pain.
