This is insane. They start so many fires. I say we force mental health and rehab on them.

I see smoke. Lots of sirens and a couple helicopters. Please stay safe those in the area and those fighting to put it out

It’s one of the oldest subdivisions in the west valley and as such was not a flatten and develop location. The interior remains quite rural and as such there is a great deal of old growth. Lots of fuel to burn. LAFD knows and has to attack aggressively.
