As an Australian I find it a little bit silly that Australian news channels say that this is unprecedented. We've done this many times. I hope they can get the help they need and that the officials can shove their politics and agendas up their arse long enough to do what needs to be done.
Yes, they have short memories. And I find it weird that they used "FOR CONTEXT"... the size of Manhattan and Miami... Why not use for context, "the size of California" when talking about how much was burnt down in Australia back in 2019.
I live north East Victoria on a property that was completely burnt out in the last fires. No hazard reduction work has been done in 4 years. I am surrounded by the Alpine national park and another massive state forest on the other side. It's almost impossible to walk though the bush . The undergrowth is thick . You can't see 20 feet at best. It's about 4 m tall. It's actually pretty scary
You forget that our news corporations are US owned. They didn't talk like this about the middle east when the US bombed them. This is tiny compared to the chaos the US has brought. Yet these US owned companies tell us to feel compassion for the US. Even after these events, merican citizens will not develop empathy.
NEWS CHANNELS HAVE NO HEART TO PEOPLE THAT HAVE LOST EVERYTHING. WHY NOT OPEN YOUR POCKETS AND HELP INSTEAD OF GETTING A STORY. ITS CRIMINAL. 💔💔💔🤬🤬AUSTRALIA WE KNOW THIS FEELING. SHAME ON YOU SUNRISE. SHAME. 😢😢😢😢😢
Why does everyone keep saying that these fires are unprecedented? I’m an Australian who survived the Lahaina fires. My heart definitely goes out to the people in California I know the feeling. The one thing that these fires have in common, the authorities were warned before hand
Sometimes it cost too much to prepare and prevent, maybe cheaper and easier to just do nothing, then blame it on nature. Everyone will just said there is nothing we can do in the end and thats it. No one in the authority is going to jail or get punished because of it.
I’m a professional firefighter in Melbourne and the fire risk here is immense. Your fire service has been abandoned by Jacinta Alan. Our fleet is falling apart, and just like in LA, the bushland areas around Melbourne are neglected and dangerous. Your fire service levy has almost doubled since Covid and yet where is the money? Paying off our enormous debt from Covid hand outs and infrastructure cost blowouts…
Because the liberals did so well at preventing the 2019 fires! Oh wait they massively cut funding towards firefighters which directly resulted in the mismanagement and worsening of the fires. But don't worry I'm sure Gina Reinhardt getting an extra 20 billion from liberal government loans will definitely help sort that out! Hell maybe we can use her and the brumbies to stop the next one!
Some Insurance companies terminated contracts a month or so prior to the incident and others are refusing to pay out. Homes that were once worth over 4 million dollars that were burned down and the owners were offered 750k for their land. Interesting way to start the "Smart city 2028"......
Prayera for the innocent people who are just common citizens and just working to provide their needs..I feel so sorry they lost their homes.May uou find strenght in Gods hand as you are facing this kind of devastation..
You forgot to mention ...Unprecedented fires directly correlate to a lack of hazard reduction burns (burn off) and fire management being neglected for decades in CA.
And having no water from the hydrants for the firefighters to fight the fire. Typical though, hiding facts that you’d think they would want to report. Oh how forgetful of them 🫣
Excuse me, not sure where you got your Missed information from, but I would appreciate you not spreading this information further. I know dozens of people who work in fire management hazard reduction in California. So unless you personally do this as your full-time job, I’m not sure where you’re getting your BS from.
Because fire does not behave like floodwater simply absorbing everything in its path, it is affected by the direction the wind is blowing, uphill or downhill etc. Also when you compare something that burns quickly and easily like dry wood in a wall next to something like a tree which has water in it, the tree most likely will survive
Tell us the reason why the insurance companies cancelled policies in that area. It was because their auditors came out, checked what the prevention measures were like and said, "Hell no" because it was a clown show and disaster waiting to happen. And this is the result.
@NegativeWaves-y8f Insurance companies have said that insurance is a commercial business. It exists to make money, not help or protect people. If a potential risk is not managed, we don't have to insure people against it. Premiums would be exorbitant and unaffordable anyway.
This is a man made disaster that could have been mitigated. What with very poor forest and water management. Cutting of qualified fire fighters and equipment. What did one expect
Crazy how the trees and bushes in these burnt out neighbourhoods seem unaffected. Houses reduced to ashes yet the trees in the yard are fine with nice green leaves.
@Aussie-e5s Yes, but look at the proximity. Those embers don't seem to affect the trees, yet there are cars in the streets completely burnt out. Green trees next to burnt out buildings that you would think flames lapping out of a burning building would easily catch alight.
The fire only goes the direction of the wind. The trees either side are almost untouched. They need the embers to get stuck in the tree or at it’s base to catch fire. The embers keep going until burning out or get stuck someplace. The heat and flames aren’t close enough to light the green foliage up.
@@Quitethecontrarian-d7l every time i see comments like this im just waiting for people to claim this is all a hoax. fire is essentially alive it moves with the wind it spreads via ember attack. you can have an area be completely razed to the ground and yet have patches of brush or trees be completely untouched. its just how fire works

This is what happens when you build in the bush and in the hills and do no fuel reduction. Also people who move from the city into the country side who have absolutely no idea about bush fires, they think it will never happen to them until it does.

Years of neglect by the state and local government, it almost looks like this is what they want. Records for decades have proved the majority of fires are either deliberately or accidentally lit.

Clearly, you don't have a handle on what actually happened. I'm not sure where you live. But if you can imagine outside of your City is a national park. For instance Sydney has 32 national parks that back onto all their suburbs. Australia does do a lot of controlled burning, but it's not possible to do that much. For instance the outline of suburbia in Sydney runs for more than 2000 km and that is just the straight line that rings the entire City. But then you have the actual suburbs themselves that are full of houses and cars with petrol tanks and lithium batteries and furniture and rubbish in people's backyards. Are you telling me that if you were in charge you could go around to more than 1 million homes and clear out every little bit of tinder. I love how people come on here… Especially people like you who have never ever been a volunteer firefighter… Have never sat there with a map and figure out exactly where you need to burn off, and on what day and under which conditions. And yet you sit there comfortably in your cushy chair behind your keyboard and you spruik things as if you know what you're talking about.

Australia has had many bushfires over the years that I am aware of. Those firers brought about a large number of deaths, lost homes, vehicles and business and other types of infrastructure along with many hectares of land. I don't think the homes and businesses that were lost in those firers are anywhere near the numbers that I'm hearing of in these fire in the Los Angles fires. It is just devastating irrespective of where you live. The loses are just shattering.
I sure hope these people are having to show proof that they have addresses in those burned out areas and not letting others exploit aid and help for fire victims.

Nature can recover from fire but not from salt damage to the environment. Salt water would corrode fire fighting equipment and hydrants. Aircraft could use some salt water to assist in fire fighting but it was too windy and dangerous to fly.

I don't think the homes and businesses that were lost in those firers are anywhere near the numbers that I'm hearing of in these fire in the Los Angles fires.
It is just devastating irrespective of where you live. The loses are just shattering.
Might think twice about mocking God at Golden Globes...
I sure hope these people are having to show proof that they have addresses in those burned out areas and not letting others exploit aid and help for fire victims.
Newsome 15 min city sights
So sad 😢. My 🙏 for all Californian affected by the fire.
Why are so many trees left almost untouched? Brick and mortar completely destroyed?😮🤔🤔
Even the rich and famous be bought to their knees. Amen Lord
At least the fish is ok!
The settling ash on the water might kill them
Might defund the fire department in a fire hotspot. LA is a joke
MISINFORMATION.
I'm guessing you don't work for them or are one of the THOUSANDS of firefighters right now who have worked for 40 hours straight, had no rest of sleep, whilst you sit comfortably and anonymously behind your keyboard with clean fingernails. What a ad pathetic loser you are for dissing people who are actually doing their job, rather than sitting in their basement playing video games.
@@donttalkcrap When did i diss the fire department? Not their fault the Mayor cut their funding a month before this disaster. Im sure they are doing all they can, doesnt mean the Mayor is any less of a DEI plant.
There you go again, talking rubbish.
Do you feel important when you talk crap?
@@donttalkcrap Ok? Im talking about the Mayor cutting funding to the fire department in a fire hotspot. Nothing has been done since the last LA fires to help prevent and deal with this. The MAYOR is a joke NOT the fire department. But go off, miss the entire point because you cant research and just call me a loser.
I pray they get the help they need
Insurance companies are disgusting. What is the point of having them.
How did it happen? Theres not a single chance this happened naturally in the heart of La by the way
was there something wrong with using ocean water to kill the fire?
Transporting ocean water to the fire would be a big logistical issue.
Nature can recover from fire but not from salt damage to the environment. Salt water would corrode fire fighting equipment and hydrants. Aircraft could use some salt water to assist in fire fighting but it was too windy and dangerous to fly.
They were literally using water from the ocean the whole time. People are stupid and spreading misinfo for no reason lol.
The fire chief had nothing to say🎉
Its 28000 acres..still blaming other person?what is your contribution to the wild fire?
Have you seen the fire chief? IT has never fought a fire
But weirdly, you decided to weigh in on something you know absolutely F all about.
Does that make you better?
Stop! It's about helping people now! For God sake
Gaza had children, women, men & elderly inside the homes destroyed.
And yet nobody prays for them or donates anything to them.
Local partners have been delivering humanitarian aid to the 1.9 million people displaced in Gaza. 80% of Gaza relies on humanitarian aid.
And no, only millions of people with MORALS from all corners of the world are praying for the people of Palestine.
Israeli authorities restrict access for foreign journalists, leading to biased coverage in favor of Israel on American & western media outlets.
Yes they do. Only MILLIONS of people with MORALS from all corners of the world are praying for the people of Palestine. Local partners have been delivering humanitarian aid to the 1.9 million people displaced in Gaza. 80% of Gaza relies on humanitarian aid.

Really appreciate David’s knowledge of the states. It feels very real, not fed from a producer
He was U S correspondent for many years !!
Double the size of manhattan
You know that won’t mean shit to the average Aussie 🤣🤣
David Woiwod just arrived back home from LA
So sad but Israel and Ukraine needs more aid…😐😑😐 #chosenpeople
Bear in mind that all
Of you who are investing in property for air bnb are like lemmings overbalancing the economy
First normal comment!
Help them Lord ❤😢😢😢😢
Wooden houses burned yet not the trees and hedges despite the intense heat
Same people that run their fellow Americans down like dogs. You made you dystopian beds...
So much money for Department of Offense but no money for fire department.
Go figure.
I understand how it feels, i have had experience this before! The fires came very close to my place!! I mean very close. We had to get out fast!! Prayers to all involved 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
150K ppl fled out, with house burnt down, lucky to have overwhelming helping hands from everyone.
My thoughts for ppl in Gaza.. 😢
Meh who cares about these fires. Some black women got jobs in the fire department. That's what's most important.
Do they condemn hammas!?!
Which I’d have to do with this tragedy?
@@Starlightning767 everything
@Starlightning767 there's a live Jeno happening as we speak and the tax money that could have been used for potential disasters in USA was sent to fund it
Do you not understand the difference between a war, and a natural disaster?
Did you not go to school?
Or perhaps you are commenting on the wrong video.
At least they have pretty fire hydrants....
Prayer for everyone
This is one of the message from god to all the people all over the world. Please pray for all the victims🙏❤️
if these fires are the message from god I don’t think I want anything to do with that god
Imagine going out to clear brush from on and around your property tomorrow and getting arrested by Newsom's junta.
How many people are going to be threatened by law enforcement if they assist or help the victims of this tragedy? Plenty were threatened in NC & Maui....
Praying for these people. How can we donate
Blue state corruption is to blame
Trump propaganda is to blame for your comment
@@superflybry123oh no the woke just wont stop!Woke caused this yet here you are at it again
@@superflybry123what propaganda? That they prioritise hiring minorities of competence? That they cut lafd funding for gay choir? That the LAFD donated a bunch of equipment to Ukraine in 2023 after the funding cut? That they refused to back burn the forest floors? That they miss manage the water? Which part isn’t true?
@@superflybry123 No Stupidity and ignorance are to blame for their lame baseless comment.
If California was corrupt, then explain how is the fifth most prosperous state on the planet.
It just proves that the governor knows what he doing… And the leader of where you are knows FA
I mean, of course you live there you know even less
The only reason you come on here to screw your BS is because your friends and family are sick of listening to your lies
Cringy Aussie news reporters
So proud of Pasadena.
??? Where was this coverage with the hurricane? 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
guess there goes a lot of diddy evidence.
Looks what kind of mayor and governor they elected. No surprise.
You get what you vote for California.
Although it may sound cruel, it is true. When you chose a candidate who put the people last, you should be happy to accept the result.
Many homes would have been saved if the fire-fighters hadn't run out of water. Whose fault was that?
Modern buildings, built of shit
Not modern... but yes, they are all full of flammable materials
No manned fire towers and fire breaks? Water tanks and hydrants at strategic locations?
It burned straight through the city -- the winds were as strong as a category 2 hurricane, embers were blowing and setting spot fires miles away from the fire lines.
How many man fire towers and fire breaks are in your suburb where you live?
@@donttalkcrap Have you got a better idea?
In Gaza, displaced civilians who gather like this become targets.
Imagine!
Many of those beachside properties must be returned to nature.
They will! Many of them will not get a permit to rebuild.
