@@IIXeloII Did you miss the news story that the insurance companies cancelled their policies a few weeks ago because they anticipated this? You sound like a real cold-hearted idiot.
THE INSURANCE CANCELED ALL FIRE POLICIES WEEKS AGO Everybody's so busy cheering on the CEOs Murder By Luigi no one gave a hoot that everybody was about to lose their homes in a fire... they should have known a fire was planned when they all received the same cancellations
I was getting anxious, just watching this reporter stand next to the fire with the wind blowing. I Hope everyone stays safe and I am praying for everyone.
Average house value in the Palisades is $3.5 million according to Zillow. The poor are the live-in servants here. UPPER MIDDLE CLASS here only, with maybe a trickle of middle. This will all be leveled and sold for lot price to major developers. That's some fanciful coping you got going on. EVERYONE is on their own
Unbelievable and horrifying. I lived in the Highlands in the 1970s and that is the usual and expected risk area since it is up in the hills surrounded by open land. Never thought of seeing a fire run through the heart of downtown Pacific Palisades. It's like Lahaina - you just can't believe such a place was not able to be protected and saved.
So very sad. My thoughts are with you. This also happened in Oakland CA in my neighborhood. My house was saved because we had ladders and the resident men climbed on the roof and watered the roofs. (My grandpa was a fireman so we knew it would help). The men went up the street with our ladders and repeated the action as long as they could so saved much of our street.
I just compared this to the Oakland wildfire, times 10. You'd think we'd only witness something like that only once in our lives. But nope. We'll likely see a 1/2 dozen more urban wildfires due to climate change, before we die. This is horrific.
I've been living here my entire life and I was born in 1986 and my dad lived here for his entire life and he was born in 1945 and I don't think either of us ever thought that this place would go up in flames and end up looking like Paradise or another small town that was just completely decimated. It's just so crazy.
Uh, dearie. The house is full of dry things. The GREEN plants are full of water. Dry things burn. Wet things no burn. This is, like, stuff that five year olds can figure out.
Except there are 40,000,000 people in California with 10,000,000 in LA county alone. There are MANY news channels, helicopters, etc and LA is one of the world's largest Metros .... It's a bit different than Carolina

1) Californian gov't continually penalizes insurance firms. 2) Insurance firms pivot, raising prices. 3) Gov't punishes insurance firms. 4) Large insurance firms threaten to leave California. 5) Smaller insurance firms forced to choose between raising prices, cutting policies on certain clients, or leaving. 6) Extra pressure is put on remaining insurance firms, who realize there's no profit to be made by continuing to serve Californians w/o *serious* changes. 7) Medium insurers leave, large ones relocate/open new offices elsewhere while staying temporarily until either Newsom leaves or the situation improves. 8) California gov't does climate change pressures. 9) Some of the best insurers with the most flexible policies quit or plan to divest, and that news spreads fast among competitors, who are also reading the tea leaves. 10) Tens of thousands of clients are abruptly dropped. Wildfires occur, the government disabled the emergency resources, and people and their homws, communities, and businesses burn down to the ground as those running gov't partner with BlackRock-like firms to come in akd "save the day" in addition to preparing to tax the living crap out of residents after the state goes further into debt. Politicians get their laundered money, mega corps get their lucrative advantage, and the banks make billions over the next 15 years off a single catastrophe, which definitely was not set up by anyone who would atand to gain from it.
12) The West Coast is suddenly empty. The elites buy up all of the coastal land and properties and secede from the United States in California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii. The western border of the United States is 💯 elite controlled.
As a native Northern Californian since '62 and gone through several fire seasons, what pisses me off is that there is an absolute solution to end all wildfires from ever happening again but no one is doing it!!@ Scientists years ago from Stanford University made a fire retardant gel that is environmentally safe on all types of foliage and simply does not ignite no matter what way a fire can start whether it's a lit cigarette, lightening strike, campfire not put out correctly, arsonist, etc., I watched a demo video of how this gel works and was astounded by how it actually works. It shows a side by side comparison of a patch of dry grass, one treated and the other not. The untreated area caught flame when a match was thrown on it and the treated area refused to light. There are little cell bubbles within the gel that burst open when flame hits it causing it to not catch fire. It's brilliant! I am just pissed off because all these wildfires don't have to happen at all. It's absurd! I grew up watching planes fly over spraying boray on our nearby fires but what these scientists discovered IS the answer! Almost all of Northern California was destroyed in the 2017 fires, all the the ones in Southern California, Maui and most sadly those in Australia. I can't stand seeing animals suffer and die in these fires, nor people and all the land. Yeah, people lose their homes which is bad but they can rebuild but life cannot be replaced. I'm just so tired of seeing these and knowing there is a solution but the powers that be just aren't utilizing this gel that is proven to stop any fire from starting thus no loss of life, land or structures.
If you have lived in the area that long you should also know wild fires are a natural part of the ecosystem. Some native plants' life cycle includes and depends on fire to thrive. Just because it's an inconvenience for people doesn't mean it should be stopped. Even native Americans learnt to live with wild fires.
There are many products that has been made that works well but can't be implemented realistically for a number of reasons. The gel you mention likely works well but how do you apply such a gel to a whole city's ecosystem reaslitically. How long until you need to recoat it, how does it affect animals and insect and ground water? You need to coat such large areas with planes or helicopters that is extremely costly and can't reasure exact areas that has been coated. Aspestos was and still is amazing for its fire resistant properties but its side effects is something we still have to deal with long after the fact that it was deemed too unhealthy to be used.
Fire suppression system works inside a structure to suppress a fire started inside an area and also prevent the fire to spread to other parts of the structure. It will not help when a fire is coming from the outside of the structure and burns the structure from top down and on the exterior wall.
Why, so the outside could be charred black and the inside destroyed by water? Same end result. Also…the heat intensity of a wildfire is unlike anything else…no chance a residential fire suppression system could stand a chance.
Thank you for reporting on this. It must be so incredibly difficult to do so -being a part of the community with your family. Apocalyptic was the right word. I'm so sorry you and your community are going through such a tragic and scary event. The damage and danger is so massive for all involved. I found it Interesting you were mentioning your children's schools, friends, etc.. and their situations. Even the house behind you. I saw and heard about the cars stuck on that road on the way out during the evacuation, then the high school last night...the outbuildings were starting to burn, but not the school. I saw another reporter in front of the same home as you are in front of... and now it just collapsed and you said the high school is burning. The progression is horrifying. Just uncontrollable devastation ongoing ... I cannot imagine being there and living through it. My heart and prayers are with you and your family, friends, the reporting team, and everyone in the community attempting to survive and/or help each other. America is praying for you all.
So sad for all those people. The tears I have wouldn't put out a match fire but at least I feel for those poor people losing everything they have worked so hard for all their lives.
This is my home town. I used to own a property by the foothills where I had to clear brush every year at least 100 feet away from any structures, mine and the neighbor’s, it is mandatory. You can not rake the Chaparral scrub, you have to cut it and place it in a truck and move it to be mulched and composted at a recycling faciity. It is labor intensive hard work, hence many communities do not do a thorough job and hire cheap help to do it.
The investigation into the cause and effect of this fire needs to be conducted at the federal level. No papered over California state and local investigations will suffice.
It is still in the greater and more heavily populated area of Los Angeles County, as he said, it is NOT out in the forest areas of say the Antelope Valley or Valencia or those remote areas. It is in the heart of the major LA area, just as Santa Monica or any of those coastal areas would be.
Remember the Bel Air fire during the 1960's. Another disaster: prayers to Ashem to save animals & assist residents & protect the first responders & volunteers.
Ha! Was mentioning the Bel Air fire to my Swedish husband this morning. A documentary about it was shown to my Siskiyou county California fifth grade class in the 60s. Was seen as a fire rare in its ferocity. I guess it pales in comparison?
Wood is the worst building material, even mud is more durable. The lumber industry has made sure the majority of houses will still be built with it though
In the UK we use Brick. Having lived in the U.S. for many years I never understood why they use wood and cardboard to built the places where people dwell
Houses shouldnt be built 20 ft apart. There should be minimum distances but then the city wouldnt be able to maximize tax revenue. New subdivisionss are ridiculously close together.
I live in a beach town resort in the south Jersey shore. I believe there was an instance in either Wildwood or Sea Isle where multiple homes were destroyed….and these duplexes are built about 8 feet or less from each other. Disaster waiting to happen. Luckily it’s not dry here like the west coast
The only reason they allow building in high fire risk areas that are prone to the Santa Ana are because of the county and city ravaging appetite for more property tax income. Without regard for safety or financial liability.
Ya 20 feet u fool.....embers are traveling MILES, entering through unsealed eaves and burning them that way. All those palm tree fronds are catching embers and literally seeding fires . .u know nothing.
Insulting to all those that have served and been deployed when some wimpy-azz, "journalist" calls something a "war zone" when the closest he's ever gotten to a "war zone" is what he saw on a a movie.
Crazy how a large bush and vehicle were left untouched by the flames. Thousands of hones gone. 10x worse than the Oakland Hills Wildfire, which had wind speeds similar to this.
All we can hope for at a time like this, learn and make the world a better place. Nature can be unforgiving, nothing could've been done to prevent this. Have mercy on them all.
Prayers to all those people experiencing the loss of their homes and lifetime memories. They have all lost their safe place, their place to relax, recharge, and be with their loved family and pets. Bless you all, and my prayers are with you
Don't talk about chemtrail jets and the crews turning the valves on the spray tanks. First they normalized the flights, then they simply opened the poison valves.
Not a fire fighter/ helicopter or a single bit of effort being put forth anywhere to even try to to fight this fire 🔥-- I don’t think 🤔 I’ve ever seen anything like it.
On January 6, there were traces over LA similar to chemtrails. On January 7, a storm began and simultaneously fires. It looks like a planned action than an accident
Maybe. They way these people (definitely not all, few really appreciative people in that enclave), talk down on the rest of LA, is something to behold. Graduated high school there, and worked a bit at Noah's bagels in the Village.
But instead we have science and knowledge and know that high winds in heavily populated areas with electrical wires, powerlines and the like often lead to WILDFIRES in Southern California. Santa Ana winds are always dangerous conditions. So even for those of us who are religious, not being ignorant and understanding cause and effect, we don't reduce disasters like this to "god's wrath" .
Why do they need to report the street names? So looters and lookie loos can come in and get in the way? Those who need to evacuate are not left to sit in their houses watching the news for warnings. Those who work. insafety are most certainly on the ground and believe that people in those areas can smell and see the smoke and fire.
This is not the forest burning. This is the coast. Forests are not burning, homes and residential neighborhoods are. HIgh winds are a major factor in this.
@@InspiredByEbonyLove Fire standards for homes should have been upped. Metal roofs and stucco or brick siding, nothing to catch on fire. YA THINK??? Check photos from Lahaina - homes that were upgraded with roofs and siding that were fireproof survived the fire.
It is surreal to see. Last night the sky was purple bear fire plus a reddish orange moon. It looked like a volcano in the distance. Got off work last night and when I got to ktown the metro wreaked of smoke then got outside and the entire area smelled of smoke. Choking on it and debris. The city has an eerie black grey cloud it feels like silent hill for real.
News also said there was not water to fight the fires and they don't know if the pipes are broken or what. Made me wonder was there also no water at the homes to water the lawns with etc? YOu'd think people would have noticed before.
“You will own nothing and be happy”. These areas will be bought out by developers for pennies on the dollar so they can rent them out to the people that once owned them. Greed at its finest.

Coming from Maui/ Lahaina sending Reiki and prayers to ALL. This is so so sad 😢coming
Wood is the worst building material, even mud is more durable. The lumber industry has made sure the majority of houses will still be built with it though
Houses in LA are made of wood because of earthquakes. The wood bends when the earth shakes which protects the buildings from collapsing.
In the UK we use Brick. Having lived in the U.S. for many years I never understood why they use wood and cardboard to built the places where people dwell
@Cecilia ALL houses in America are built with wood.
@@CeciliaDior That's convenient for the building inspectors and lumber lobbyists. Major earthquakes are rare but fires are common 🤷
это снова энергетическое оружие - горят камни но не деревья
Houses shouldnt be built 20 ft apart. There should be minimum distances but then the city wouldnt be able to maximize tax revenue. New subdivisionss are ridiculously close together.
Bruh the fire is spreading through ember in the wind doesn’t matter how close they are
I live in a beach town resort in the south Jersey shore. I believe there was an instance in either Wildwood or Sea Isle where multiple homes were destroyed….and these duplexes are built about 8 feet or less from each other.
Disaster waiting to happen. Luckily it’s not dry here like the west coast
uh, that land costs money. Bigger lots = higher home costs.
The only reason they allow building in high fire risk areas that are prone to the Santa Ana are because of the county and city ravaging appetite for more property tax income. Without regard for safety or financial liability.
Ya 20 feet u fool.....embers are traveling MILES, entering through unsealed eaves and burning them that way. All those palm tree fronds are catching embers and literally seeding fires . .u know nothing.
Insulting to all those that have served and been deployed when some wimpy-azz, "journalist" calls something a "war zone" when the closest he's ever gotten to a "war zone" is what he saw on a a movie.
If you were here, you would understand how apocalyptic this is right now!
@@skontheroad stay safe, I'm praying for socal.
It’s direct energy so it kinda is a war zone.
insulting to a "wimpy-ass" journalist who's doing his job in a hazardous area don't you think?
I guarantee no one who served feels insulted by this. Stop speaking on the behalf of those you know nothing about.
Prayers sent to all. Praying for those affected.
Fire fanned by strong winds, probably fuelled more by gas from broken gas pipes, and sustained by flammable building materials like wood, ply etc
One bright side is that at least this isn't a 15 minute city or the entire city would be gone already.
The front wall? The house was already gone.
How come all the trees are green but houses are burning to collapse
You’re right! Apocalyptic! We need to pray for these people and these terrible destructions!!!!
Hopefully every one made it out ok😢
I'm concerned what will be found when the fire is over
Prayers for all
Crazy how a large bush and vehicle were left untouched by the flames. Thousands of hones gone. 10x worse than the Oakland Hills Wildfire, which had wind speeds similar to this.
Horrible and so sad. Hope everyone can stay safe.
All we can hope for at a time like this, learn and make the world a better place. Nature can be unforgiving, nothing could've been done to prevent this. Have mercy on them all.
War zone? Whoever wrote that title hasn't seen war.
Prayers to all those people experiencing the loss of their homes and lifetime memories. They have all lost their safe place, their place to relax, recharge, and be with their loved family and pets. Bless you all, and my prayers are with you
I have one question why the news isn't taking about the mystery Fog that's going around the world 🤔
Or the Boeing whistle blower supposedly committed suicide.
Don't talk about chemtrail jets and the crews turning the valves on the spray tanks. First they normalized the flights, then they simply opened the poison valves.
I'm praying for no one to get hurt
Not a fire fighter/ helicopter or a single bit of effort being put forth anywhere to even try to to fight this fire 🔥-- I don’t think 🤔 I’ve ever seen anything like it.
They ran out if water😢
On January 6, there were traces over LA similar to chemtrails. On January 7, a storm began and simultaneously fires. It looks like a planned action than an accident
So sad. Prayers for residents and animals.
I'm agnostic,but if i was religious i would honestly think that this is gods wrath or something.
Maybe. They way these people (definitely not all, few really appreciative people in that enclave), talk down on the rest of LA, is something to behold. Graduated high school there, and worked a bit at Noah's bagels in the Village.
@@Bangbang-gl4xo tell me more please. Why do they take down to the rest of LA?
But instead we have science and knowledge and know that high winds in heavily populated areas with electrical wires, powerlines and the like often lead to WILDFIRES in Southern California. Santa Ana winds are always dangerous conditions. So even for those of us who are religious, not being ignorant and understanding cause and effect, we don't reduce disasters like this to "god's wrath" .
You are a believer, you just don’t know that yet (agnostic)
Nobody cares what u r
I'm so sorry Southern Cali. It's gut wrenching!
Devastating conditions in southern California
This is horrible so many people I’ve met there and worked for are losing everything 😢
Stop building homes so close together.
No excessive fuels in the dense neighbohoods. This illustrates the danger of flying embers!
Very sad and scary sad for people that are losing their homes 🏠
Scary. Reminds me of the Fire we had in San Diego October 2008
I would like to know the street name, I think reporters need to start naming street names, as everyone knows there is a fire
Why do they need to report the street names? So looters and lookie loos can come in and get in the way? Those who need to evacuate are not left to sit in their houses watching the news for warnings. Those who work. insafety are most certainly on the ground and believe that people in those areas can smell and see the smoke and fire.
Agree fully!
Marquez ln and sunset Blvd is where he was.
Man this is sad😢
And explain to me why every structure reduces to ashes. Yet the trees the bushes, grass etc. Rarely burn
My bad barely.. not rarely...
Government funded arson
1:32 this is NOT in the heart of LA this is LA county... This is not the city of Los Angeles 😑
It is.... It's literally a neighborhood in the city of Los Angeles. Would you rather Skid Row be called the heart of LA?
NO ONE said it was "the CITY of Los Angeles" and anyone in LA county knows that "PACIFIC PALISADES" is that city not the city of Los Angeles.
Literally who cares. We all know where it is, the generalizations are for story telling efficiency for those who aren’t familiar with the area.
they don't allow residents to save their houses but the news coverage can be there
So disheartening. Praying for preservation of life
This is really sad they work so hard and now the house is gone
I've worked in a few houses in palisades and many of them have expensive things in their homes including cars and expensive art. Must be devastating
My prayers for you all!
Lack of forest management. I blame the sierra club.
This fire is not in a forest.
This is a city not a forest. 🙄
I hate sierra club.
This is not the forest burning. This is the coast. Forests are not burning, homes and residential neighborhoods are. HIgh winds are a major factor in this.
@@InspiredByEbonyLove Fire standards for homes should have been upped. Metal roofs and stucco or brick siding, nothing to catch on fire. YA THINK??? Check photos from Lahaina - homes that were upgraded with roofs and siding that were fireproof survived the fire.
Hey, take cover and be safe out there y'all. Love you all.
Homes burned and destroyed but not trees What?
Yes Karen, green trees don't burn. Wood is dry and easy to ignite. You need to Google how wildfires work
some trees are burning.
My town of Santa Rosa CA lost 20 percent to fire in 2017. I empathize with these folks
Im praying for no loss of life and being a avid car guy, I pray for all the super cars lost.
Those cars should have been put on display for everyone to enjoy. If you have an AC cobra in the garage it's gone
I guess my cousins F40, F50, 288 GTO and Enzo will go up even more in value now?
@@johnmartin2079oh yeah my cousin has one of those too but it's a reissue. It's signed by Carrol Shelby though..
@garycastronova7939 start multiplying
@@garycastronova7939 very true
Horribly sad 😢
How are they saying this fire started?
I'd imagine by fire.
It is surreal to see. Last night the sky was purple bear fire plus a reddish orange moon. It looked like a volcano in the distance. Got off work last night and when I got to ktown the metro wreaked of smoke then got outside and the entire area smelled of smoke. Choking on it and debris. The city has an eerie black grey cloud it feels like silent hill for real.
The government need to answer to this, there should be more preventitive measure
There already is. It's up to the home owners to use preventative measures.
California didn’t want them.
Drought + high winds + fire= catastrophe.
LA Times says there wasn't water in the hydrants.
🧐
News also said there was not water to fight the fires and they don't know if the pipes are broken or what. Made me wonder was there also no water at the homes to water the lawns with etc? YOu'd think people would have noticed before.
No plan.
Shame on the news for reporting this fire super late
There aren't enough firefighters in America that could control a fire in these winds. Get used to it, as in "birth pangs".
OMG this is heartbreaking!!
Did i read this right? California didnt fill their reservoars so firefighters cant use hydrants anymore?
You are foolish. Building materials are flamable. Think for bricks, concrete, iron.
I can't understand how in the world anyone would live in LA or California for that matter 💯
This is Malibu
Or Florida or Kansas or North Carolina or New York or Seattle or...
“You will own nothing and be happy”. These areas will be bought out by developers for pennies on the dollar so they can rent them out to the people that once owned them. Greed at its finest.
This is rich homes, not poor neighborhoods. Not the heart of LA. Clueless reporter.
But how is it that the bush in the front of the house is untouched… please help me understand… is that natural
No.
Why fire dept responded 1 hours late after the initial multiple calls, that should be the news
