Wow. I am an American watching from Ireland, having spent much time in LA. Watching you take down our flag, saving it from being burned, just brought me to tears. Thank you, you brave, good men. God bless you. Please stay safe.

Lower and store the flag, raise it again later with a ceremony when the disaster is over. Save the flag in a museum as a history of the struggle in the face of disaster
OMG!!!! How the fireman work with the gusty wind and crazy fire. Such a dangerous and hard work to constrain the fire areas . God blessed you all . ❤ Be safe,please.

Something tells me the image of that flag flapping around in the middle of a literal hellstorm as someone takes it down will go down in history. Brought a tear to my old cynical eye.
@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.
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!
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. 💔
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.😢
@@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.
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 !❤
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."

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?
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
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. They're so delusional they think people are buying it. Make it a drinking game if that's your thing. But you're gonna get drunk. Heart is breaking for my hometown.
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. ❤
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.

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

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.

Taking the flag down, that photo should be made into some kind of monument for this tragedy. Put the flag in some type of showcase
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.
This was probably a planned event and someone tipped them off.
