I am not a religious person so I am wishing Californians the best of luck. I lived out there and lost my apartment due to one of the wildfires in San Diego a while back. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
Same here, not religious, and don't pray. I just don't wish harm or bad vibes on anyone. We had to evacuate out of the Sebastopol area in October 2019 because of a wild fire north of the Cloverdale area. Fortunately for us, we were moving to Arizona in November anyway, so we just kept going. Got to move into our house November 18th.
Damn, it looks like Bagram...by the beach😮😢 It's unimaginable to comprehend the devastation on the ground, let alone seeing it from the Air. I grew up in the Los Angeles area, and can't tell you how many times I drove up and down the PCH to go to the beach, or the wharf for seafood dinners. The entire history of that area is gone. Rebuilding will never be finished in my life time, and I'm 71yrs old now. Such widespread tragedy. My heart and prayers go out to everyone affected by these wildfires.😢 I wonder if The Getty Museum is okay and the Will Roger's historic home and estate is okay. I loved hiking and riding there along the trails.😢
The Getty Villa is fine, as of an instagram post yesterday. They have many fire safety measures. I saw elsewhere that Will Roger's home and estate did unfortunately burn down in the fire :(
That guy is actually unlucky, no insurance to claim (if not dropped beforehand) and zero resell value since no one would want to live there for the coming months/years when/if things get rebuild.
The smoke damage alone makes it a goner in all actuality. My uncles detached garage burned down and the smoke damage from the garage destroyed the main house even though it never caught fire. So something this large would definitely leave smoke damage.
Dr Drew on air this morning said 2x more Co2 released between 2020 and 2024 due to California wildfires than all California vehicles in same period. Wildfires should be priority one if climate change is really the issue.
Teslas with dead batteries blocking the single lane on ramp, halting evacuations...... Tesla batteries spontaneously combusting in garages in the rich foothills, igniting fires........actors doing their part for the environment.....
That's so sad. It's kind of amazing that people got out of the area as well as they did and that is probably because of the work of a lot of first responders. That's the important thing. It's sad though. It really is because it just happened so fast and must have been so scary and still is.
I can understand it if this was the first major fire in recent times but hawaii wasnt too long ago and this screams like for like to me.... How can the water be off exactly when a deverstating fire like this hits
The water was not off! Stop spreading lies. There were two massive wildfires, the hydrants are just faucets and massive amount of water pulled out. Also people were using water to hose off their roof. The magnitude of this disaster is more than you can comprehend, clearly.

Not to mention, the cost or lack of insurance (oh wait, is the insurance companies fault, try again) for some, the crazy real estate tax, income tax, tax, tax and more tax, but for what? No even water to put out fire?
For months there has been very little rain, and wildland vegetation was not raked (that's a real term per US Dept of Forestry for Vegetation Management). Why would the state and local governments not do their due diligence and reduce the fuel load? In fact they even cut back funding for fire prevention. Getty Villa did it right - and did proper stewardship of their land and the museum survived. The Governor and LA Mayor really dropped the ball. They knew fire conditions were bad for a long long time.
You're absolutely correct, the only ingredients needed for fire are an ignition source,and fuel load. Manage the fuel load,including fire breaks and this destruction could heve easily been avoided.
Because California is a state that neglects infrastructure improvements for the sake of bull crap political agendas. When you fund green initiatives at the expense of refusing to improve a power grid stuck in the 1920s with rolling black outs, you’re going to have disasters like this. You can claim climate change all you want but this was 100% caused by governmental incompetence and neglect.
They need a sea water based system for water. Relying on the water supply that is designed for typical residential usage is not enough to fight dozens of fires at the same time.
Crazy how much brush is around those homes! In Wyoming, insurance companies were no longer insuring houses in the mountains unless you had defensible space around your structures. You'd think after those Paradise fires they'd learn a lesson and not just hope fires would not be an issue. Sound like some of the policies in that area are the opposite of mitigation.
Really makes me wonder about the quality of housing and structures that were built. Were there any fire risk considerations made particularly with the newer builds especially in the high risk fire zones.
Your sentiment is 100% on point, but to suggest that the wealthy have suffered is a little off the mark. Im not totally unsympathetic, but I'll reserve my deepest sympathy for the people that deserve it, and not the super rich A listers, that have, at most been slightly inconvenienced.
i dont think that the ultra rich were really affected, yes, someone could have lost a property among their tenth of others scattered around the states and the world; it seems to me that the most of burnt properties belongs to average rich people, those with tenth or at most hundreds millions in assets, real estate included. Instead, i suppose that the reconstruction is not going to reflect the same property distribution as before: in the same way of maui accident, the ultra rich will step in and acquire and redesign the burnt areas as they like, because they could never have bought those extremely tiny and desirable areas, already packed with so much fragmented lots: now they have all the time for planning an exclusive paradise for themselves kicking out the majoity of ruined owners
The irony of that first day footage of those people all along the ridge trying to save their houses and thinking they made it out. All those houses are gone now. Craziness
I've watched some house tours of the houses in Pacific Palisades... I recognized some of its locations and I'm devasted to see that they never made it. For a large area to be burned like this...

This wouldn't have happened with European brick-centric house construction. In LA houses costs like 2 million but they can't use something more durable and non-flameable than wood?
Nope welcome to America the land of capitalism where you can rip off all your customers and sell them a giant box of kindling and the insurance companies can cancel your fire insurance cause they need to pay all their corporate bonuses out instead of helping the people who are forced to buy insurance in the great poop whole that is the USA 💩💩🇺🇸👍
Its okay guys dont worry. The insurance companies have cancelled most fire protection plans at the last minute so you dont gotta worry about the insurance compaanies losing any money. Thank god for that.

@@Yinzermakesvids Right like the people in Hawaii got all the help they need, Just like the people in North Carolina/Tennesse mountains got the help they needed.
.. or Ukraine, Huge bases all over Europe, the Island of Okinawa and many other places we shouldnt be involved in. I spent a lot of years in uniform, most of them outside of the U.S. . Maybe Cali should look more into their irrigation system and proper forestry upkeep instead of E.V. infrastructure? A lot of hard questions need to be asked.
So, we dont do control buring of forest and brushes because of the pollution. How much pollution did all of that material blast into the ozone over the past few day?
The one thing I truly noticed was the foliage on the trees. Many were still green. It makes me wonder if the construction materials used in this area were not fireproof.
There's a lot of irrigated exotic plants around the houses. The native plants in the region aren't very green right now, owing to being down 4 inches from normal winter precipitation.
@@Halluci44 no, most trees are still highly flammable, especially in a drought and even more especially when it is so hot that cars are melting right next to the trees!
@@Halluci44 but its a FOREST FIRE. THE TREES IN THE FOREST ARE ON FIRE JACKASS. a few trees by the house must of been watered better then the ones in the forest huh? is that your logic?
In 2007 San Diego experienced a similar 'unprecedented' fire beginning in the East mountains that traveled West and jumped all the freeways, ending at the Pacific Ocean. They since rebuilt and the county/city funded for many more water copters, and Fire Safety personnel. While Los Angeles should have learned from their lesson, they can surely rebuild.

It’s not a conspiracy when the government has shown a level of incompetence that is downright criminal. But NPC’s like you will just brush it off as as simply a tragedy that requires no further investigation. Wake up you plebeian
So you think a wildfire can be manipulated to the point where you can control what burns....as in infrastructure but not trees...is that what you're saying ? Just trying to grasp the lunacy
I understand your skepticism, but I think this was genuinely aggravated by the weather condition [of being extremely dry for a very long time] followed by the strong winds. A simple, small wildfire could have been the root cause that spread uncontrollably.
Couple crazy things. The home or homes that did survive. Always stunning. The landscape change. How those mountains dive right into a heavily populated area that runs all the way to the ocean. Easier to understand how crazy winds must get there. Then of course the difference between one side of the hills and the other. Brentwood the more fortunate of the two

Nope welcome to America the land of capitalism where you can rip off all your customers and sell them a giant box of kindling and the insurance companies can cancel your fire insurance cause they need to pay all their corporate bonuses out instead of helping the people who are forced to buy insurance in the great poop whole that is the USA 💩💩🇺🇸👍
Its okay guys dont worry. The insurance companies have cancelled most fire protection plans at the last minute so you dont gotta worry about the insurance compaanies losing any money. Thank god for that.
They classify it as a fire storm. Sorry you don't have fire storm coverage only fire. This is gonna get ugly
Our thoughts and prayers are with those whose lives were lost and for those who now must begin anew. Only time can ease the pain. Now we look forward to the rebirth and rebuilding of this beautiful part of our world. With new perspective it will be better, safer, more durable, and more friendly to this countryside and the planet.
I am from Santa Rosa CA. and we suffered this devastation in 2017. Californians will prevail because we care about each other like no other!
This year keeps getting better
The victims of these fires need to file a class action lawsuit against the state of California for criminal negligence!
Right. Because it's the taxpayers fault.
So sue themselves and then if they win their taxes can go up even further to pay for it?
Fool.
Such a troll 😂😂
Divide it
Love seeing all the crazies in the comments making stuff up.
What stuff?
The comment section is always entertaining indeed. 😂😂😂
A THEORY . . . A WILDFIRE THEORY !
@@user-pt9iz3zo7g Ditto. That's the California way.
@Breadmaker332 D.E.W. your research!
Greetings from Asia :). Truly a beautiful sight to behold
Not the best emojis to use.
@@triple7marc best i found so far :)
did the rest of the pixels also succumb to the fires?
Maybe Ukraine can give us some funding
The close up of the melted cars is interesting. 30 years ago brush fires never melted car parts.
I have a new BMW, trust me, it's plastic!
Can't wait to see what $750 in California buys.
Valet parking.
They do get more, don't believe the verbal garbage from some. All these people will get the help they need until Jan 20th
@@Yinzermakesvids Right like the people in Hawaii got all the help they need, Just like the people in North Carolina/Tennesse mountains got the help they needed.
PS 5 Pro after tax..
So, the buildings that are still standing, are made from brick? Or, how do I see this? Everything else was made from wood?
American politicians: send 10 billion to Israel
.. or Ukraine, Huge bases all over Europe, the Island of Okinawa and many other places we shouldnt be involved in. I spent a lot of years in uniform, most of them outside of the U.S. .
Maybe Cali should look more into their irrigation system and proper forestry upkeep instead of E.V. infrastructure? A lot of hard questions need to be asked.
So, we dont do control buring of forest and brushes because of the pollution.
How much pollution did all of that material blast into the ozone over the past few day?
The one thing I truly noticed was the foliage on the trees. Many were still green.
It makes me wonder if the construction materials used in this area were not fireproof.
There's a lot of irrigated exotic plants around the houses. The native plants in the region aren't very green right now, owing to being down 4 inches from normal winter precipitation.
It's frightening how many people don't understand how devastating fire is.
It is so sad l used to work around there now it's nothing left it is like a war zone
I feel so bad for the people who lived there
God bless them 🙏
SO MANY TREES STILL STANDING NEXT TO HOUSES BURNT TO THE GROUND .....AND NOT JUST 1 or 2....LITERALLY ALL OVER.
Trees are harder to burn because they're full of water. Ignorance is bliss for you
@@Halluci44
no, most trees are still highly flammable, especially in a drought and even more especially when it is so hot that cars are melting right next to the trees!
@@Halluci44 but its a FOREST FIRE. THE TREES IN THE FOREST ARE ON FIRE JACKASS. a few trees by the house must of been watered better then the ones in the forest huh? is that your logic?
@@Halluci44 You get that ignorant shit from bill nye?
it also looks like the trees are still green or am i not recognising it correctly?😯😟
In 2007 San Diego experienced a similar 'unprecedented' fire beginning in the East mountains that traveled West and jumped all the freeways, ending at the Pacific Ocean. They since rebuilt and the county/city funded for many more water copters, and Fire Safety personnel. While Los Angeles should have learned from their lesson, they can surely rebuild.
Looks like Gaza 😮
Whats the mile range of this area? Devastating
* cough * Hawaii
😂
Coughing doesn't change the fact that you don't know what you're talking about. We already know there are those of you who say everything is a conspiracy because you don't have the mental capacity to understand anything. Blah blah blah laser blah blah blah blah conspiracy blah blah blah
just cause you are too lazy to dew some research doesn’t make your argument valid redraptor
Agreed. I'm coughing too. Obvious.
@@RedRaptor-ik6jtit’s not a conspiracy when law enforcement and government officials have shown time and time again that they fail to protect their own citizens. No water supply because Gavin Newsom refused to sign the water restoration act. In Hawaii, several children died because roads were blocked off by police units, meaning parents could not go back to save their children. It’s not a conspiracy when the government has shown a level of incompetence that is downright criminal. But NPC’s like you will just brush it off as as simply a tragedy that requires no further investigation. Wake up you plebeian
We live right near here and it’s beyond tragic.
How can it be 0% contained and not see any fires in this video?
There letting it burn on purpose wake up
@@mikes7446learn to spell first then give advice
Where do they all go?
looks like Gaza
Happens in Canada every year so much its normal now but to see it happen in a city like LA is crazy
The important thing here is that the california government is diverse.
And that Joe Biden had a grand kid.
do they get $750.00 like Hawaii?
The mayor literally has blood on her hands.
What, for a Mother Nature event. Lol 😂
This is so heart breaking for my fellow Americans
How can this happen! It’s mind boggling when seeing it from the air. It doesn’t make sense to me ! Please be safe out there. Prayers for everyone.
Shouldn’t the trees burn also ?
Something doesn’t make sense
Man made fires, land grabs, agenda 2030
Fire proof trees….
So you think a wildfire can be manipulated to the point where you can control what burns....as in infrastructure but not trees...is that what you're saying ?
Just trying to grasp the lunacy
Should they? Are you fire? Trees are watered, houses are built up tinder basically.
Question: who will benefit from all of this?
Diddy
Zelensky just received 500 billion dollars to rebuild Ukraine LoL the world is a clown show right now 😂
How did the fire start ?
Do you think it’s strange they never mention how the fire started? Fires just don’t start from nowhere…
I believe it was reported to have started in resident's home.
I understand your skepticism, but I think this was genuinely aggravated by the weather condition [of being extremely dry for a very long time] followed by the strong winds.
A simple, small wildfire could have been the root cause that spread uncontrollably.
Well duh they gotta find out how it started not everything’s a conspiracy grow up.
Probably a Tesla with a faulty Battery.
The news narrative is that “wind storms” have caused “wild fires”. It was the news narrative from the very beginning.
Couple crazy things.
The home or homes that did survive. Always stunning.
The landscape change. How those mountains dive right into a heavily populated area that runs all the way to the ocean. Easier to understand how crazy winds must get there.
Then of course the difference between one side of the hills and the other. Brentwood the more fortunate of the two
Unfathomable... Unexcusable
Inexcusable? I assume you mean that we don't take climate change seriously?
@@koho The sad fact is that Americans, especially MAGA morons, are obsessed with seeing that someone is to blame, and someone goes to jail for everything. These same people believe in weather control and whatever Orange Donnie Diaper tells them to believe.
Inexcusable to say it’s climate change
@@koho bud, strong winds on the coast of California isn't climate change. find a new boogey man.
@@fakenman I grew in So cal. Santa Ana's never happened in January. And 9 months of zero rain. Sure, it's hard to say if this specific instance is all climate change. But to not think the odds are higher because of it is just dumb.
What is truly dumb is to say raking the leaves out of the forests or getting water from Nor Cal would have made the difference in this case. Trump just being the incoming Toddler In Chief.
Hmmmm, each home owner should be offered 700.00, just like Lahaina, HI.
Looks like Hiroshima after the bomb.
Maybe Dresden firestorm
Maybe Gaza
Karma?
Humbling for all of us. devastating for those who lost everything.
Who started the fires? Why did this area defund the fire department by 17 million dollars annually? Why was the water turned off?
It's probably going to be classified info.
Who would live in L.A.? This is sickening but not unforeseen……hope they learn from it!
I FEEL SORRY FOR WILDLIFE PETS TOO
Thanks Gavin!
Notice how the trees are not burned...
Look at before photos, many trees were burned. Yes, some survived, but most did not.
Your brain is torched
@@anthonybick9264😂😂😂 this shit had me dying
And your point is? Do you think the government secretly invented fire that doesn’t burn trees?
there are many videos of melted cars right next to completely untouched bushes and trees... flammable trees!!!
It's amazing how much overgrowth is there. Years of mismanagement. This isn't a "natural" disaster. A lot of it could have been prevented.
Thank You Govenor Newsom!!! Your management of Cali has increased the values of my Properties in Las Vegas NV. Please keep up the good work!!
It's shocking how little is left of a house that burns.
If you have ever done demo work you realize houses are empty shells.
Reset
My prayers and thoughts for victims 🙏. No one should have to go through this.
"Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you.
Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes.
Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days."
Referencing James 5:1-6 perhaps?
It's reminiscent of the Marshall Fire in Colorado on New Year's Eve in 2021. 1000 homes burned in a wildfire at an exceedingly strange time of year.
Lahaina x 100. Unbelievable.
some one help me out here because I live in the snow so wildfires do not exist here. why do they have massive fires every year and cant do anything about it. what is the issue
