This has the potential to be bad, especially since local resources are stretched thin

Those people will die out there… crazy stuff. You’d think they would have at least wrapped them up in some blankets before carting them out in the cold wind.

A bus just pulled up. They are starting to load em up.

My cousins lived on Poppyfields in Altadena for years. I knew the area well back then.

It's the secondary injuries that are the concerns, the pulmonary issues will start the downhill for them.

Just checked fligtradar24 and not a single air asset over either fires. Winds too strong.

Sister left altadena after I watched it double in the time of our conversation on watch duty. Crazy fast growing, but seems they have it at 400 for some time now.

Temescal and pch, told michelle I’m not in danger just stuck in shit traffic, get home and see all the stuff on fire, apparently danger was shortly behind me lol

 

[Backlash]

I got called in to work earlier tonight and have some buddies who are up in Altadena helping out. I haven't heard from them but I believe they're helping out with evacuations.

I just ran into one of our Battalion Chief's as he was heading out and he said "Pasadena is getting hammered."

You ok? Need trucks?
Sean is in the middle of the Hurst fire area.

 

[RitcheyRch]

My son-in law that's a wild land fire fighter is on his way from Prescott Arizona to the Pacific Palisades fire. Heck, may be here for awhile with all these other fires.

 

[4Waters]

I could see this fire from the 118 and Rocky Peak, it's an absolute wind tunnel through there so I couldn't safely take a pic. I stopped and took this pic on Foothill and Wentworth around the corner from my yard, I may have trouble getting to my yard this afternoon to get my car.

 

[4Waters]

From my yard

 

[Backlash]

It's pitch black outside. The smoke is thick here below the foothills.
