Most insurance companies seem to have canceled fire coverage months ago due to the state not cutting back the dried brush . At least according to reports .
they will be denying claims based on non defensible space all those trees brush and landscaping right up to the property i lost a home to wildfire my insurance will not cover me unless I do have defensible space
The czu fire burnt my arse. Paradise fire was insane due to nature and spread...like czu. This to me is insane becouse it's just city n shrubs down south.
I live about 2 miles from this location. Closed my windows, still, my home is covered with a thin layer ash. The wind was pushing it from the canyon down I went to bed with a mask on.
Never thought I'd see my old stomping grounds up in flames like this! Lived off Lake & Mendo right next to Jack in the Box in my 20s, 2 decades ago and still one of my favorite little gems to visit when I'm back in the area. Loved Oh Happy Days (great, cheap, healthy meals to feed a starving student/barista:) and the Rancho just around the corner...are they still there?!
I lived in Altadena in the 90s. This is tragic. Also, it is weird and suspicious that LA is dealing with multiple fires. I live in Riverside County now. We had high winds too but no fires.
Oh, man. My ex girlfriend grew up on Florecita Crescent in Altadena, right up against the hills near JPL. They often hosed down their roof because it could easily go up in flames. I suspect the home is gone now.
I guess the winds brought embers.. as I don't imagine it spread on the paved ground.. Unless; there were other artificial ulterior motivated accelerants. ..🤔
My kid apartment is in Altadena, just few block south from this intersection. This is a scary sight since it could happen again when the college started.
Fortunately this fire isn’t moving as fast as the Camp Fire did and LA doesn’t have the additional issues like lack of roads to evacuate, propane tanks, and pine trees. Hopefully, people listen and evacuate. The buildings are burning similar to Paradise though. The older buildings burned the fastest and the newer building were either untouched or harldy damaged.
These people like firefighters, medical, people have that nature need more money than the actors, actresses. You know what I mean. Prayers for everyone animals and humans alike.
Looks like a war zone. I grew up close to this area…60’s-70’s. I remember a fire in the San Gabriel mountains as a child. I was scared the fire would come down from the mountains. This fire did come down! So sad
There was a severe wind storm yesterday. We lost power and I was literally watching sparks shooting of the power lines. A tree probably knocked over the power.
I hope you all get help not just left like what happened in Carolinas, Tennessee, Georgia and so forth. Remember when it was on the news of dead people hanging the in trees. Forgot what state that was.
Better wake up, Americans. Governments in other countries exist to do stuff like prevent developers building mile after mile of suburban sprawl made out of tickytacky sticks and plastic, for people in their millions, completely outstripping natural water capacity, in areas so arid that some of the plants need fire to propagate. But greed is good, corporations do what they want, electricity suppliers routinely skip maintenance and anyone can pretty much build anything they want anywhere.
I'll be the last to defend California's politicians, but your comment is a bit ignorant. This isn't a Republican vs Democrat issue. It's a much larger (and more complex) problem of trying to provide water for over 10 million people who are living in a desert.
@chriskneifl3290 you're right. The problem is that bad politicians have been in power for to many years. It seems there aren't any decent politicians in California.
ophra made a call to biden, hey bro i want to buy cheap properties in these areas, can you hook me up before you leave office. biden said I wachu bae, let me push a button will get you great deals. and now we have fires.
Fire break between the buildings. I’d rather have a major hurricane than an out of control fire! Fire makes its own path. Plus the embers of fires can create new fires! Glad FEMA is helping you.
I live in California and SDG&e has been warning people since January 1st of these winds if you are a Californian who does care about your home and the risks of wildfires are actually has been a lot of alerts going around before this even happened to manage landscape water vegetation get rid of excess debris and be ready to evacuate these were all made clear because the winds were going to be so excessive.
No fire breaks? Every year they get torched not too green for the greenies Newsom is responsible for this mess.. 2 x looser they keep voting him in True ignorance however new growth is good for critters
Hopefully more people will wake up and ask themselves WHY are buildings and cars primarily burning instead of the actual trees and shrubbery that makes this a “wildfire”?
Kind of surprised to hear that a True Value burn down where the store did not have enough fuel to escalate to neighboring units. I know there are trained volunteers (although not sure how well trained they are) in situations like this, aside from liability, why are volunteers not used if resources are low, unless they are referrals trucks and available water?
What happened to the fire department 😢 the beginning of the end has begun ..now no tax , no business no economy no community that place is going to be going on a fire sale
L.A. county had a huge press conference two year's ago, they donated extra fire fighting equipment to Ukraine. 20 million dollar's was cut last year on fire fighting budget 😂
Because illegals are everyone's problem and L.A. fires are California's problem. California could burn to nothing and the rest of the country will be just fine, but Biden letting in tens of millions of illegals is going to cripple this country for years to come.

Why do people keep building houses where there is fires every single year I don't understand I don't feel bad for anyone that lost anything there you knew that this could happen....
You know its bad when the firetruck drives by a burning building because they have to get to somewhere worse!
They didn't fill the fire hydrants. It got cut from the budget.

Probably just getting the hell out of the entire area. Where are they even supposed to start?
The fire trucks are driving by a burning building to get to put out a brush fire where the homeless encampment is.
nah they just drive around, they aren't literally not allowed by California law to use water anymore. Newsome made that policy like 4 years ago

Heartbreaking.
How did the fire start in the middle of the busy town?
It didn't. The winds brought the fire from the hills.
They are having hurricane winds, fire travels VERY FAST WHEN ITS BLOWING 80 MPH
3 different points where there are fires on the same day??? They are provoked.
So the fire just started just like that hmmm 🤔 ok
