Incredible how some houses were spared when those either side of them were razed to the ground.
Spooky. But I can’t imagine living there with all the racket that will be going on. Just the clean up alone ugh
@@samanthab1923 There are hired gun private fire fighter crews allowed. Often times the are 1st on scene and most vigilant. Some are hired by insurance companies to protect multimillion dollar properties, probably cheaper to hire private crew to stand guard at $100mil house than payout.
Wood homes vs armored cement
cement
God's protection! Must have been Christians named in the book
instead of busy criticizing other nations progress,
US should spend more time and energy solving its own problems.
Basic infrastructures like water, bridges,electricity and roads are dire need.
Fight your own fires at home, rather than creating trouble around the world.
Its funny how thats the takeaway. Isnt like, 90% of Californias water owned by some billionaire couple selling pomegranate juice? I feel like thats the stuff you want to go after

Who do you think started the fires Nature yea right...
What are you even talking about... This makes no sense and isnt even relevant to the topic at hand. You're trying to conflate issues and using fallacies in reasoning in the process. Get out of here.

This isn't Indonesia. The land is still owned by the same person. You think these millionaires were squatting?
@@DeanMartinson-ci3lk NOT
Instead of spending over $600 billion every year on the military to start wars and conflicts everywhere, the US should invest in its own infrastructure. Instead of sending US tax money to Ukraine and Israel, these funds are better kept in the USA.
Spending money to provide "infrastructure" for rich people to build houses elbow to elbow in natural arid fire zones is also not the solution.
We spend that kind of money to keep the Muslims from stirring up crap around the world.

@@idnintel People should enjoy a national park where those neighborhoods were then. You surely agree!

It looks like Gaza in america
Or a portion of Hawaii.
No, it doesn't. It looks like California, but with houses burned down.
Not sure what that means, cuz population in Gaza is going up not down.

I have always complained for 30 years the use of wood for housing, the evidernce is clear, all concrete houses are safe.
You are not from/in USA?? It's against the law. I looked it up decades ago. Prohibited to use anything but wood in USA to build residential homes.
@@irened2 israil yardım et
@@irened2 Absolutely untrue!!! I Helped someone build a house out of block!
@@ceolsen2884 1 unlawful house. Congrats.... It still does not mean I typed untruths. Look it up, FCOL! Otherwise USA wouldn't be made out of wood. There are NO licensed contractors that would help you though, and wait until the gov. gets wind (no pun) of it: they'll tear it down force your friend to rebuild. Again, look it up before you go postal on me again.
@@ceolsen2884 PS: it's the similar to why luxury American apartments are a nightmare to live in: just like the cheap ones, you can hear your neighbors sneeze and laugh and talk and you hear TV from below apts as well as above: cheap wood construction, hollow (literally!) walls with no insulation inside. You can find normal apts but they were built well over 100 yrs ago. (Hollow walls are NOT mandated by the US gov, unlike wood houses though: they're cheaper and builders choose that.) Insofar as your house: I claim foul. Either you made that up, it's not a house but a business building... or wait until "they" find out.
😢😢😢God protect you friends , sorry for that incident
The consciousness of building a wood house instead of bricks
Exactly! My God the sense is lacking
Not only wooden houses....they are only 40 feet from the shoreline. Those people are "more ons". :)
Just watch....ANYONE in ANY neighborhood who lost a home to complete ashes and a foundation....is NOT
going to make monthly mortgage payments again. Never. Would you pay $ 10,000 a month or more knowing that under Karen Bass....it would take two. years just to get the permits ? Or, worse yet,,,,try to find a contractor who.....will not be a "predatory" piece of ..... ? The entire area if "history".
Sadly the fire devastation will be followed by rain and mud slides.
more sadly the fire devastation will also be followed by the Orange Wind bag in the oval office!

And, our president gave more money to Ukraine! Let's see the countries that give the United States money to help those in California.
Yes, keeping the American Defense Industry humming along, like all administrations do.
We got money to rebuild. We don't need a country that is being destroyed by Russia to come to our aid. But Putin thanks your twisting a disaster in L.A. to somehow make Ukraine the villian. Geez that Russian propaganda campaign is like a jedi mind trick on weak minds
Where is your friend Israel??? America has been pouring millions and millions of dollars upon those Satans for years....
Why only mentioned Ukraine? Why didnt you include illegal state of Israel too in your comment?? Israel received more than Ukraine, not only for 3 years but since many decades ago.
Western Carolina first.. no help for them yet!
The Green Movement should change their name to The Brown Movement. What was once green forest is now desolate brown. We have to put up with the same mindless clueless tunnel visioned witch doctors here in Australia. Our sympathies are with you. 🇦🇺
The hateful comments about this disaster is despicable. All the judgement towards people during disaster begs the question……who will deliver judgement to all of you? Unbelievable. I pray for recovery for anyone experiencing catastrophic disaster of any kind. That’s the right thing to do. Yall need to check yourself.
something something stones something glass houses
Good to hear a rational voice. These are hateful angry people. I imagine most of those folks living there have very different political views than I do. I am also working class and they are ultra-wealthy but I can’t imagine feeling satisfaction at their lives being ravaged. I would much rather just give them a hug.
@@StellaDee-l9e yes. Even still. If it is someone who got rich and just bought their dream house for $20m last week I still have empathy for them. When did America become such haters of success? There are definitely dirtbag rich people but I’ve known plenty of dirtbag poor people too. It’s a sick joy that the jealous haters are taking. That simple.
@@AlphanumericCharacters let’s also be really clear eyed about what’s going on here. This is manufactured outrage to create a political hit on Gavin Newsom. All of this just because he’s a potential competitor in 2028. I’m not saying I’m for him or not for him. I’m just saying that’s what’s happening. When I search information about the fires 100 Fox videos pop up with the same bias of pointing fingers and air and grievances. This is being done on purpose.
Это не стихия, а последовательные шаги и власти и владельцев. Всего этого можно было избежать прояви немного ума и желания.
Buildings made from concert are standing . Those houses built by wooden structures were burned. 😢😢😢😢
What about California's carbon footprint now? All those EV's don't matter now do they.
Coastal commission should not let people build houses next to beaches.
Yes! The state should not have let people build homes there in the first place. Taxpayers should have access to and be able view our public beaches while on PCH.
Because of tsunami? Not sure your point
Agree. That should be public property. Why is that land for sale. Public beach
@@vhnf1In Oregon, all of the coastline has public beach access, thanks to Governor Tom McCall. The idea of a private beach is ridiculous.
Corrupt Murica.
May God save the poor people.

The California paradoxe: every mega villa has mega pools, luxury spa, end fontains full of water, the faireworks that running out of water can't extinguish the fire, 90% of this selfish people property has been distroied by the fire. Very smart luxury people.
This was mismanagement by the D.E.I. crew. Nice try tho!
@maxdragon15 I thought it was a bad management of the resources of water.
Seriously: I would NEVER pay millions to live on my neighbor's lap, squeeze-sandwiched in between 2 house? What a nightmare when they blast music or start fighting! Plus the mold effect and the salt erosion. No, thanks! As far away from the beach is where I love to be!

@@laartwork you think it's impossible to pump sea water? and pumping sea water will destroy the pump within minutes? how do you think sea going ships and boats pump out water that got into the ship?
@@laartwork there are fire fighting ships that actually pump sea water onto a burning ships. I'm pretty sure US Coast Guard must have few of them around. Not sure why they didn't use them. Guess they can not get those ships close to the beach to shoot the water to the structures. They can shoot water probably 50 yard, but no more than that distance.

F California and Palestine. Democrats vote for this. No sympathy. Elections have consequences. Take it like a man. No sympathy.
They voted for Newsom and Mayor Bass. They got what they voted for. Us Texans will never forget when Californians ridiculed us during our freeze 4 years ago.
We still ridicule you cause you don't know what your talking about. Better them than you're idiotic system. Nothing could have been done in a hurricane force wins to stop the fire spreading. Not to mention a couple people are arrested for Arson.
There were also wildfires. In 2011 (or 2012?) a record 4 million acres and destroyed almost 4,000 homes. What was Gavinfornia's response? Most of the people living there were VERY snobby and hateful. They laughed and even said "did prayer help you? LOL." Or they said "Keep praying, it might help!" I have NOT forgotten their cruel, hateful comments. And the government they elected is largely to blame for the pathetic "response" to this. That's all I have to say about this.
Over 40% vote republican. You think your state doesn’t have democrats…
It's always the Maga people...
@@nas6587 I know, Marxists don't like the people trying to save the country.
Even without the fire many of those beach homes won't be around for long. They are built so close to the water that erosion is going to weaken them
That's the pickiest wildfire I've ever seen.

Insuring these homes is like someone who uses their car in a Demolition Derby wanting Collision insurance on the automobile.
bizarre how this one right near the water started and a few houses spared but ones on each side of it destroyed.
I hope these property owners have substantial insurance
All insurance companies have taken back their insurance in la
Normally those rich people have many houses.
@@3brilliants Yes, they are in them now.
the value of the remaining homes just went up.
Unreal. Iv spent time in Malibu. 😞
Still dont get it why americans build homes from paper instead of concrete/bricks
What an irony indeed there is a sea just close by but not enough water to quash the fire…this is diabolical
Concrete is king!
Until any of the numerous earthquakes happen.
You must not be aware that some of those piles of rubble consist of concrete rubble.
The stucco houses survived. those that onsisted on the latest wood siding got torched
Real Stucco house and tile roof or you are not being smart
Sorry prefabricated prestressed concrete is king. And it can be used in wall systems to create a fire resistant and quake resistant structure. But you do you. I live in Ohio.

Gaza's problems are self-inflicted.
It's even more devastating than I thought. Its hard to watch. I didn't realize the fire reached the Malibu oceanfront. That's mind-blowing, considering I once lived in that area. Very surreal.
Why helicopter sound tarded.
Hard to imagine how the fire leaped across the PCH to incinerate select houses, yet houses on the east side were left untouched by the flames.
California is gonna need a lot of diesel fuel to rebuild
Newsom won't allow that!!

Eight mansions of the generals of the Armed Forces of Ukraine burned down in the California fires. The real estate of high-ranking Ukrainian officials worth $90 million burned down in flames. Apparently, Ukrainian officials purchased luxury mansions with funds allocated by the West.. The property belongs to the generals from the team of the former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny.
None of those houses should have been built so close to the shore. If they are, I hope no company will insure them.

Concrete apartments with much more space between each building could have reduced the damage by a lot. Wood should not be allowed in a place that is already known for forest fires. And multi-storied buildings are not sustainable in wood, so concrete becomes the obvious choice.
Obvious I know, but if the real estate wasn't worth so much, maybe the homes wouldn't be built so damn close together, that's at least part of the problem.

It's strange that the houses right on the beach were burned and the houses on the side of the hill where the fire came from are still untouched.🤔🤔🤔
How was something like this possible?
Now you know why building with wood is more expensive in the long run!
Thanks fire. American people see you Gaza.

It's done on purpose with no doubt. Houses burned down because of wildfire like they say but the details is that how can the trees resist and keep standing green!!???
