Man you're gonna not enjoy what the next president has to say then when it comes time to rebuild.

I'm terribly sorry for you and your friends and family loss. I thought it was important to point out and link to the data that showed it wasn't a failure of enough water, and not a "scandal" but a tragedy of historic scale.

I know your feelings are extreme because of the ongoing disaster, but c'mon man. No need to be dropping slurs

Thank god they still have you to thank for defending their honor on Surlyhorns.com. I'm sure that will help them out immensely. You're a fucking hero. And a patriot.

Had to go into work today while my family holed up at our friend's house. Afterwards, Was able to get back into the neighborhood to make it to our house and looks like it's gonna be ok. Inside of house is covered in soot. Guess those winds just blasted it through the cracks in our old ass windows and doors.

@Sbbruin so sorry. Heard St Mark's, ACC, and Waldorf are gone.

We know 4 Altadena families who've lost  everything. 

Drove into this cloud this morning before work to try and get back home to check the status but turned around bc smoke was so thick PXL_20250108_145042100.thumb.jpg.2632cd67437385ea39182d6c78e52f28.jpg

Will the state allow them to rebuild or are they  going to have to reapply for water rights?

It really makes you want to surround your house in Cali with as much of a large rock garden that you can, and instead of a lawn sprinkler system, rig the external part of your house with roof & walls with an external water sprinkler system to cover everything, so embers are put out as soon as they land on your house.

I read an interesting article about the Maui fire and the lessons they learned from it about house fire prevention from the few residences that survived:

https://www1.wsrb.com/blog/wildfire-in-maui-what-can-we-learn

Connecting wooden fences, composite roofs, and shrubbery around the base of your house is a bad idea in fire prone areas.  Although when you are facing 100mph winds, I think it really just comes down to luck.

Yeah. Also last year I learned that fake turf is flammable. California AAA home insurance required my parents to tear out some out that was within a certain distance of their house before they'd reissue their policy.

I suggest you pull the Malibu Barbie toy you've been playing with out of your ass and ask her, numbnuts. 

Another friend lost a home in PP.  Lost everything. This is beyond horrible for all involved. 

Terrible. This is crazy.

SIAP. I believe these 2 men and the dog died in the fire. I cannot even imagine what it must have felt knowing that you are going to die a pretty horrific death.

I was driving Southwest out of Grand Teton NP last October, and had no idea that there were wildfires burning along 26. At one point the flames were just cresting on the ridge to my south and the only traffic for miles was shit tons of forest service and firefighters. Those fires were at least a half mile from me and it still took me a few hours after emerging from the orange skies and smoke to unpucker my asshole. I cant imagine standing on a roof with a fucking garden hose as fire is consuming the property 15 feet from me. That's some crazy f'n shit right there.

That's shooting at the Tiger Tank with a Pistol Crazy Brave right there. Firefighters came in like the P-51s.

There was discussion of looting upthread, but I don't see many looting opportunities in these pics or vids.

@Sbbruin You may have aready seen it but I saw that Airbnb is offering assistance if you call 211 and that addt'l info is available on their website

When the fire is coming theres no time to loot or you're dead. After the fire comes, nothing left to loot.

Some of the wind is slowing a little here in Venice Culver City area. Hopefully that eases a little spread. But the ash in the air is brutal on the sinus

That depends on how fast the Natl Guard gets deployed. It'll obviously be in the unburnt areas.

As a young pup I myself got sent into Charlotte after Hugo. There had been some fuckery, but everybody got right after the Humvees with (unloaded) M-60s started poking around.

Charleston area was different. They wanted to fight.

From the comments, so take that for what it's worth:

in my line of work there is a fire suppressant system that when activated covers a ~5,000 square foot area in a foam to put out the flames, there should be something similar available for a home depending upon how much money you want to spend on it 

That’s an AR-AFFF foam that is used to suppress vapors and snuff an existing fire out. Not gonna do anything for radiant heat impinging on a structure

For instance, Lost Creek has enough water in its storage tanks for 1.5 house fires.  Not two.  And damned sure as shit not three.  One-and-a-half.  So if a fire ever came up from the greenbelt, that entire subdivision is right fucked.

But even without a greenbelt wildfire, it also means that if you live in Lost Creek and your house catches fire, the fire department is just going to watch it burn and save their water to make sure it doesn't spread to neighboring houses.

I’m curious how much water it is that you think it takes to put out a single structure fire.

 

As for the bolded, that’s a pretty strong assumption. Is there an ISO study or a fire suppression official that has come out and stated that is what they will do or have to do?

Moonshadows is gone, burnt down to the foundation. The Reel Inn is gone. Duke’s seems to be ok. Haven’t heard anything about Nobu.

for july 4th, 2024, we went to a restaurant on the beach, ubered to my cousin's in the palisades, then walked with half of the party to the high school up the street to watch fireworks. 6 months later all 3 are gone.

this is also one of those frustrating situations where everyone "wants to help" but the best thing for everybody to do (assuming you're not evacuating), is to stay home to let others get where they need to go. pretty helpless feeling.

we're donating to a couple of animal shelters because they're about to get inundated by animals running out of the woods. apologies if that's political.

When the fire is coming theres no time to loot or you're dead. After the fire comes, nothing left to loot.

The “fire proof” safes, which my guns are stored, are most likely the only standing objects in that disaster. Sad to say but true.
Millions+ $$$ homes, with a standing safe is a target for many. Not just guns, but jewelry and cash.

LA County SD should be on major patrol for the areas already wiped out.

Hook’em!!!
