I too agree with someone’s comment. Great Coverage! Your providing an Outstanding coverage and descriptions. Especially with the maps. Thank You! It is deeply appreciated.
I discovered your channel during the Caldor Fire when our home in South Lake Tahoe was threatened. Your coverage was and still IS exceptional. Your factual and non-sensational visuals and commentary are essential and valuable and I’m sure you’re helping so many people get through this awful experience again. Keep up the great work - I will always be so grateful.
Thanks for sharing. It looks like you have both a passion and the talent to put together the various technologies to visualize what’s happening on the ground. Kudos
I have family that live on PCH in Malibu and literally across the street from big rock to Santa Monica. The houses on the beach side are gone so far my brother’s house on PCH is safe but the houses six stores down south of him are completely gone.
Wow Zeke!! Big move… full time Lookout! Will you continue working prescribed fire as a fire boss? My husband is a 40-year working arborist. He just recommended The Lookout to a worldwide group of arborists. I’m excited for you and your family. We need your education and information now more than ever.
Really appreciate your vital work. Wondering if you could talk about the Santa Ana winds. Seems like it's hard to find a good source for when they come or how they are predicted. Here in LA some say more devastating winds are coming but I can't find it on any weather reports. Thanks again for your valuable guidance.
I love maps and mapping. So I am on your site. I know the san gabes and the front range which includes the mt wilson area. Lots of hiking there way back. The extreme dry winter we are having in SoCal is creating conditions for the fires to spread more easily. fairly dense populations in Altadena/pasadena in the flatlands below the front range. Not quite as well off as the folks in the palisades or malibu area, which comprise mainly the LA elites.
This video was really informative. After seeing the history of fires in this region, am I crazy to think, maybe it's not a great idea to continue to building in these areas, at least until there's effective methods of prevention?
No, not at this time. The major studios are in Burbank, Culver City, the Hollywood flats. The studios I’d worry about are Universal, which is in a potentially vulnerable location - the Hollywood Hills, and Warner Brothers, which is nearby, but not in the hills like Universal
Can you share your source? Exact website for 3D map. You show us some section of the map, but some of us wants to see some other areas or zoom in more what you show.
Reports of limited to no water in the hydrant’s does anyone have confirmation on that, being that the area is well financed you would think there would be plenty of water.
Zeke. Could you put north orientation arrows on your maps and pictures to help your viewers keep up with what they are looking at? It is great that you can spin perspectives to help us understand what is happening. But it is easy for us to get lost in the process.
Pool or portable pools filled up days in advance of predictable high wind days with portable fire pumps to douse the embers before it can ignite is important if you want to save your home since these man started fires are started like clock work during high wind Santa Ana conditions that used to never be a problem in the 70’s and 80’s. We had high fuel and wind back then but not the same fire bugs that we have today starting these fires.
@@roblangsdorf8758 I grew up here in Los Angeles County, Southern California and is sweeping the ashes dropping on my balcony as we speak. You are full of it.
One problem with these fires is new housing tracts are being built more and more in areas which reach into mts or rural areas which are more prone to fire dangers. Folks love to live in bucolic areas close to woods and nature but when fires hit they lose homes. I see this everywhere in socal in the recent housing boom and in past home building boom and bust cycles. Maybe ppl should be crammed into dense urban cities like the gov't bureaucrats want and leave the outer natural parts of CA untouched. However if you believe in private property rights and less gov't intrusion this would be wrong.
Even though California offers one the ocean, mountains & nice weather, I don’t think I could live with any peace of mind worrying about the outbreak of wildfires destroying my home & throwing my life into chaos.
The fires we are witnessing here are not wild fires. Wild fires are fires that happen in the wild lands, forests etc. This area is not a forest or unpopulated land. Please rephrase your terminology
And even fires in wild lands may not be wild fires. Often, they are the result of arson. So they should be called arson fires, such as the fire in Chico that started at Bidwell Park, when an arsonist set his mother's car on fire and rolled it down an embankment. Even though it eventually spread to wild lands, it was still an out of control arson fire.
I just saw your community note saying you're turning off all comments on your channel because of "conspiracy theories" and political comments... dude that's not the way, especially when you're running a channel with info that's highly relevant to people in an emergency situation. You know you can block comments from your channel with certain keywords in them, right? And why do you to completely censor differing points of view? Just ignore them
People are entitled to their own point of view, but not their own set of facts. We had over 100 words in our block list and it still was a total shit show. I'm not blocking comments, just the live chat. I'm not giving a platform to bullshit and bullshitters.
Ive seen ppls vids driving around the palasades just as the fire was moving in and pointing out that there were no fire trucks? What u think about that? Is it because they knew there was no water? Cus ive also seen vids of ppl in the neighborhood who stayed and saved their houses using pumps from swimming pools..

Any update on Eaton fire perimeter?

Is Arcadia safe?
Highest quality fire reporting in the state of California. If you have some spare dollars go to the website and make a donation. Money well spent.
Are any of the studios and any of Hollywood in the path?
No, not at this time. The major studios are in Burbank, Culver City, the Hollywood flats. The studios I’d worry about are Universal, which is in a potentially vulnerable location - the Hollywood Hills, and Warner Brothers, which is nearby, but not in the hills like Universal

Hi, Thank You from San Diego! I went to school in Santa Monica! Do you know where the evacuation centers are? It looks like Hell! 30,000 evacuated.
Can you find or refer me to more info on the Pasadena/Altadena fire?

is the cvs shopping center down also?
Electric vehicles shutdown when they detect smoke and heat from brush fires, leave the Tesla behind and take another vehicle ?
How are these fires started? Downed electrical due to wind? Other human activity?
thanks for your coverage. Can you please tell me if Lake Shrine has been affected it is on Sunset Bl. close to the shore. Thanks
It looks massive. With winds…those embers will be carried for miles…are the winds traveling toward Orange County??
Maui Vibes No?
Trying to get some night wild fire long expo footage going in the mountains
any update on Lake Shrine in PP??
main structures ok
ashram building uncertain
@@samp1568 thank you
Do those places have gas pipes running through the land
do have any on 2300 sadle pek
Will you be doing an update on the Bidwell Mansion Fire? Authorities are now saying it was arson.
I love watching you

Pray for no more wind 🙏
Also new Sunset Fire in Hollywood Hills about an hour ago

Hey Zeke - what happened to the Getty Villa? Did it burn or not? There's been some misinformation there.
It did not burn just some of the grounds
Can you please show us Sunset bl.?
I saw parts of Sunset Blvd burning
Sunset blvd near the ocean?

The last time this area burned was in the 70's, so ......
@ Was it a yearly occurrence like clock work, I don’t think so. The fires were never this consistent.
There were major fires in the 1970s and the early 2000s.

Seems like some houses burn from inside out ⛽️ gas and fire and electric do not mix yikers
Do you have a logical explanation for what In2ThinAir caught on radar in his video "PALISADES Wildfire SCARY COINCIDENCE From AREA 51??
Hope you having happy new year 🎉 friends good here friends you again friend's
My inner nerd can't look away. It's very good

These aren't "wildfires".
@@zariballardExactly right !
Miami is safe too from the California fire
How come there are no fire trucks in the water
The fires we are witnessing here are not wild fires. Wild fires are fires that happen in the wild lands, forests etc. This area is not a forest or unpopulated land. Please rephrase your terminology
I agree. If one more person ignorantly refers to these fires as "wildfires" I am going to scream. This is how dumbed down the population has become.
So, are they tame fires?
Domesticated fires that obey the wind, it’s the wind that is WILD
And even fires in wild lands may not be wild fires. Often, they are the result of arson. So they should be called arson fires, such as the fire in Chico that started at Bidwell Park, when an arsonist set his mother's car on fire and rolled it down an embankment.
