There’s no wind so they have NO excuse to not get this put out immediately
LAFD, best fire department in the world, along with LA County Fire - both agencies are on top of it! It’s all under control 5-20 acres. It’s practically out. It roared up the Bel Air mountains, but they got on it asap. No threat right now. Only 1 hour to get it handled. Prayers to all and in this heat too. Cherish and appreciate ALL fire personnel.
Lost my house in the Palisades fire. If they are saying evacuate please take it seriously. Take your important stuff and non replaceable items . Everything I could never replace is gone
that area burns a lot. they won’t let the getty burn.
