Years ago, I was fortunate enough to be invited to spend the weekend in one of those Malibu beach houses. I felt incredibly fortunate because at the time, I was a starving college student in San Diego. One morning, I woke up and went out on the balcony to view the beach and waves. Next door, Ryan O'Neal lived with Farah Fawcett. I didn't see them, but Ryan's son was out surfing the morning swell. On the other side was a childhood hero of mine, Lloyd Bridges. He had been exercising and was just finishing up some routine on his deck. It was surreal and I wondered about this quality of life, and now, I am so sorry for all their losses and having to go through this devastation. It is much the same in Maui, although on a smaller scale...

Why are there so many cement trucks along the destroyed houses?

[@MAG320]

One thing I notice is all the houses being so close together. Window to window. That’s a fire epicenter imo.

You're right. I never understood it. I mean I got the greed part..must be on the beach but that close??

[@mysteriousjz]

If the fire hydrants were supposedly 'dry,' then why couldn’t the fire trucks hook up water pumps to the ocean-literally just feet away-to extinguish the fire?

[@mr.bnatural3700]

It's way harder than you think, pumping uphill takes huge pumps bigger than what is on the trucks and there would have to be huge filters for the sand rolling around in the surf

[@janofb]

Along the ocean maybe, You can't put salt water on the hillsides. You'll sterilize the ground and nothing will grow.

[@Raskolnikov2055]

There’s aerial pictures of neighborhoods away from the ocean and each house had a pool in its backyard. Their own personal reservoir. A generator, a pump, and a few hoses. Voila. Oh, the chlorine will hurt your plants.

It's as if the Santa Ana wind blew embers right over the houses on the hill and they landed on the row of buildings below. It certainly wasn't a simple burn down the hillside to the sea.

[@angelinainhollywoodland9023]

Well, the way the wind was blowing that day, it really would only take or house to catch on fire, then the wind would blow the sparks to the next and next, like dominoes.

[@SRBrown9032]

@@angelinainhollywoodland9023 Yeah, I agree. Also, the houses and businesses along the beach seem very close to each other so the fire once started could just hop from one to another. So, so really heart breaking. I'm near Santa Barbara and some of the same conditions of drought and fuel are true here too.

I've always thought it was unfair that they allow rich people to build homes that block the view of the ocean from the road. I hope that they never rebuild these homes there again. Why should only 20 residential home residents see the pacific? Opening up more access to the beaches in California is needed. The needs of the many should trump the needs of the VERY FEW EXTREMELY RICH!

[@orangeteals]

This is really sad. The original people of California, who had occupied the region for 1000s of years, named the region Smoky-fire, because it's always been prone to huge seasonal fires. For that reason, they never built big settlements here. European settlements here are now being challenged by global warming. Wisdom is found in history

[@mujganzevne712]

😮

[@ioneste3899]

Global warming is not the culprit in Cali, you mentioned the smoky fired from 1000s of years.

Was there another global warming when those First nation named the county?

Explain how global warming is doing that? The earth has ALWAYS warmed and cooled. It doesn't explain wildfires.

Sample of several types of unsound thinking.

During WW2 building codes for some "unbuildable" areas were loosened up to satisfy the housing demand during the war.

To anyone that lives on that exclusive strip of beach with high tide under your stilted house, a massive highway so close you get get hit by a southbound automobile if you tripped out the front door, with a huge wall-of-a-hill wanting to slide into the ocean across said highway, and after fire destroyed everything there..................... M O V E.

[@alexspearing3191]

Billion dollar view. Probably best in the world. Only in America would they let you build homes on top of a public beach 😮

[@ChrisH-cg2ye]

This is what California voted for, woke politics. These democrats gave the money away to homeless, illegals, dei mandates, high speed rail, countless special interest groups, CARB, and their green energy bullshit,etc.... Money needed for fire departments, police, water reclamation (building dams and filling the ones we have) infrastructure (roads, fire departments, etc) deforestation, and so on. Mother nature just helped it along. Yet we continue to build in foothills and other high fire areas. Then blame the insurance companies for leaving and not wanting to do business in this state. Say what you want, but anyone with an ounce of intelligence and common sense saw this coming. Yet that gas bag governor, and the mayor of LA just pass the buck and blame everything else, and take no responsibility for any of it. Vote stupid people in win stupid prizes.
