If fire gets inside thru a open window, it's a goner. But even tile roofs let the burning embers in under the tile if there is wind. Tar paper burns great!.

You can kiss those homes good-by! All the fire resources are committed to protect the water treatment facility!

How very new christian of you; preaching instead of helping. Maybe you'll toss out some thoughts and prayers too eh? I bet that'll work as well as it always has. In the end you'll pass from this life staring into the nothingness in horror. Just maybe you'll recount the ways you've been a vile human being, but I doubt you'll reach even that level of self awareness. The way you yearn for everyone's end, wow, talk about useless.

@@KevinSack we have had Covid, food shortages, fires, abnormal weather patterns, more earth quakes than normal , now we have nukes pointed at us etc etc. Fuel prices unaffordable. We are literally in ww3 and YOU think it's all a coincidence? Look at the shit hole San Fran and the city of Angels has become? Really Cali in general which is why I moved from Cali. Aborting / killing millions of children. Read history and your Bible this is a common cycle of what happens when a blessed nation turns from God. It ain't no coincidence that the more liberal things get the more bad things happen.

They sent the response to the base of the canyon. All units should've been on the top of the canyon. Well, that lesson in stupidity cost $120 million and 20 folks lost a lot. Rest assured there were all types of valuable in those homes. Safes with cash and old coins that might have gone from $5,00,000 to melt value in 2 hours. Same for old cars, gun, papers etc..

[@michaelavery848]

Sad for all the families that will have to restart their lives. Hope everyone got out, pets included. This video shows clearly how each fire started from its own origin. Smoke starts coming out of vents in roof then fire breaks out through roof. Amazing how the firefighters kept ascent homes from catching when built so close. They seamed to all burn top dawn. Lessons to be learned. Why can’t these fires be prevented? Homes like this need fire suppression. The vegetation will grow back in a decade. Prayers for families, Volunteer Firefighter

[@patriciacorinne9777]

can’t help but just sob watching this… this was the neighborhood I grew up in my friends and i biked/played on that trail everyday we used the neighborhood main street and trail to get to and from each other’s houses. Most of my friends have moved/sold the houses but a couple parents still lived in or owned their homes. my childhood home was on via las rosas and it didn’t burn down but more than a few friends childhood home burned down… a lot of memories. absolutely devastating recognizing homes, locations, and seeing most of the trail that I spent so much time in just gone. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone.

[@maxsmith695]

This was so preventable. It was a 50 x 50 dispatch. This fire and the Canyon 1 and Canyon 2 fire prove to me, beyond all doubt, the issue is incompetence and not the weather. Citizens need to demand a firefighter skill set to match the environment. The mind boggling issue, as I see it, is a strong Santa Ana cresting Santiago Peak, at a time when CAL FIRE and its tankers are on a no divert order, and OCFA is left on his own to battle a genuine monster, not a little tiny fire like the Coastal fire WAS. There are no words.

[@whimsygrove9971]

Soo happy I live on the east coast instead of the west. Fire is terrifying and it consumes everything. A rager is hard to control and goes from house to house. It's devastating to think of all these people who have lost everything. 💔

FF have a lot of work fighting this fires because people over there live in match boxes some are big but are just big match boxes. Where I live houses are made of bricks, the tiles are fire prof they are mostly made of clay so it is very difficult for the fire to get inside. You have to change the materials used in construction it is life threatening.

The bigger the houses get the harder they are to control when there is a fire therefore creating a hot zone making it redundant to try to put out and with winds that's even worse I applaud the fireman who risked their lives trying to put out the fires That was extremely excruciatingly hard and difficult. To big of homes to close together Fires that hot and heavy are dangerous and cause their own firestorm like weather.

[@paulgilliland2992]

I thought brush had to cleared to at least 50m ? Not that it would be much help from that inferno . Developers initially need to be doing more in that respect but they pass that responsibility on to owners. Hillside brush clearing itself is very dangerous and expensive and at least In Sherman oaks hills LAFD rigorously enforces this law . Big fines if you fail to comply.

[@mkay1957]

Actually, 50 meters does make a huge difference.

[@netstarr77]

I told them to build a desalination plant years ago

[@d.cynthia6307]

It's actually so easy to remedy the situations but cities counties haven't figured this out /people need to be able to flood their homes on the outside with water and every roof should have a efficient sprinkler system on it just to soak it down and then all the plants close to the home should be soaked if this was to take place if given at least a 20 minute warning then it could make a true difference.....

[@kentcarter835]

Hahaha....

[@eriksand9262]

That still probably wouldn't do anything. The heat produced from fires like these would evaporate any water on the building and still catch fire by the time the flames reached them
