LOL yep. "Sure thing, buddy. I will personally see to the safety of this lifeless piece of cloth for you. I didn't have anything important to do. It's cool."
I hadn't gotten how quickly the fire can spread until I heard both the fires and the Santa Ana winds at the same time!!!! Most of the footage I have seen has no wind sound or it's very muted. The winds combined with the fire roar is haunting!
@@beazy8341 The point of paying insurance and what they sell you on is that if something like this happens you are covered. It isn't a business to take people's money and provide nothing in return. That isn't business. That is a scam.
@@beazy8341 A million-dollar home in Southern California is just a middle-class home, these days (not that I can afford one). That's a family's main store of wealth, in most cases. Rich-people houses cost _tens_ of millions.
Why should the rest of us people getting home insurance from these companies have to subsidize Southern California residents who vote.for politicians and their policies which are patently unsafe and dangerous? Pay for your own insanity.
@talimancern7724. Me too. I saw a man walking his three horses out yesterday. If he said what he was going to do with them, I missed that part. I saw where there's a large animal facility that's taking in animals, so maybe that was an option. Another option is to take them somewhere and turn them loose so if the fire gets too close, they can escape. In one of the fires a few years ago, that's what they did at a donkey rescue. And as soon as they could get back in, they brought feed and made as much noise as they could so the donkeys could hear them and the donkeys eventually made their way back and they were fine. AND ECSTATIC!! I never heard so much braying in my life. So we can hope these horses will be that lucky.
Are those they cars that were pushed aside by the bulldozers? I know they had no choice but if they are the same cars then those people were evacuating and would have had to leave what they had taken in the car they had packed because most could only carry their child or dogs. It is such a terrible disaster. 💔
these miserable people pack up all their "art work" - but left their dogs and cats and birds to die.. these folks are no longer human.. they are democrat zombies.. worshiping $$$.
Unbelievable! I am shocked at how bad these fires are and the fact that this is LA County! God Bless all those fire fighters and other first responders and volunteers working on this. Prayers to all the families and individuals affected by this.😢
Just an observation. There are several fires strategically initiated to the north and east of the wealthy sections of L.A.. Winds blowing the flames towards Brentwood and Beverly Hills. Hmm...strategic arson?
This is just beyond belief great work. You guys are some of the best video journalists out there. Watching the entire Palisades turned into a pile of ashes is something I wouldn't have imagined possible in my wildest nightmares. Feel so bad for the line firefighters, it must be so morale crushing to just want the tools and management to do their thing....and not have either. Speaking of management, try to keep track of how many times you hear UNPRECEDENTED CONDITIONS uttered by these bumbling idiot 'officials' in their press conferences....it's obviously their spin-doctor picked CYA keyword, even though of course as anyone from SoCal knows it's total BS.

The earth has been doing this for thousands of years, fires regenerate the forests and the carbon from charred trees support mycorrhizae fungi growth. We just so happened to move in.
I understood exactly what you’re saying. I, too, feel that way. I try to think of it more as an acknowledgement, I suppose? But I fully feel the same as you. ❤
How there were thousands of multi million dollar homes but the fire hydrants failed. Heard so much defunding civil service instead of constant upgrades guess all the tax dollars went to lavish items and trips for the politicians for the past few decades. Your heart should have alot of guilt and shame. 80-100 years of history wiped out within minutes because of failing governance. Truly disgusting
Was this in the images of the people abandoning their cars and a bulldozer clearing a way for more fire engines? Wow. Didnt think we'd see an update on that burned to a crisp
I think it’s awesome and wonderful that the two worked hard to get that flag down. Instead of being critical of them, maybe people should realize that they were doing something good and they care about our flag and our Country. God Bless them !❤
geez, this is like a scene out of an apocalyptic movie. Like the shot at 5:53 with the car still burning.. Does anyone have an update on the death toll?
Water in reservoirs. Dedicated for proper hydrant supply needs to start Now. Not exponentially high income for incompetent Politicians! Dinner for everyone at the French Laundry and then drinks in Ghana 😊
@turdferguson3475. Or how about drought-resistant landscaping that doesn't need to be watered constantly? And is a personal swimming pool REALLY necessary? Maybe each gated community could have a private clubhouse and swimming pool that's restricted to residents only. Just a few thoughts.
Agree! The water only weighs everything down when engulfed in flames and then heavy smoke blows down structures more easily and then collapse and so flair-up happens and embers fly! Just let it burn when engulfed...
you have to slow the spread of fire somehow. the hottest fires spread embers the furthest. the truth is, you dont know. which is why you shouldnt be commenting.
@@DieselRamcharger NOT against an raging inferno. The building is engulfed...move on to dousing structures and foliage AROUND the fire with water. Wet things don't like to burn.

Shame to hear that insurance companies were tripping over themselves to drop home policies just prior to this tragedy. I hope they pay dearly.
They are the smart ones and wont suffer at all. The residents who bought homes in fire prone areas are the losers.
