DRONESCAPE: The Hollywood Sign, day after The Sunset Fire

[@markfortin421]

To those of us who have never been there, this video is truly stunning. I can't imagine the nervous hours when the fire hit, but I'm glad the firemen got it under control fast.

[@MyHome7_Carla]

I lived in Calabasas and Chatsworth in the 70s. I cried when we moved. But the way Calabasas looks now, I would NEVER move back in a million years. It's overpopulated with celebrities and its more a massive city! Not a place where a kid can be a kid anymore!! My old house has even gotten all fancy. I couldn't afford to live in it if I WANTED to! I'm glad we left California. The best decision my dad ever made!!! I do however pray for the people that were affected by the fires and for the safety of all others. My brother and his wife still live in Ventura. I'm also praying for their safety! I love it here in Kansas!❤ Very quiet and peaceful country

[@MultiSweener]

I saw the Dead and Santana in Calabasas in 87.

[@MyHome7_Carla]

@MultiSweener Cool! I was gone and graduated by then. But in 78 It was a great town. Only had a Bobs Big Boy if I remember right. Or Maybe it was Kips 🤔

[@MultiSweener]

@MyHome7_Carla glad you have those memories.

[@JohnnySin-cp7fz]

You should've stayed. Those $100,000 homes in the 70's are upwards of $3 to $50 million. I lived in Hidden Hills in the 80s to 2000, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before anyone ever knew there was Hidden Hills. Literally was hidden. FF, Kardashian after infamous OJ Simpson incident, shit has turned into what YOU just explained. Nevertheless, other than being burning hot without humidity during summer, still better than most parts of Greater LA cities. Just stay away from hillside. It's gonna be the new norm and those flatland home values and demand will SKYROCKET.

[@MyHome7_Carla]

@JohnnySin-cp7fz yep! I looked at it on Zillow when it was up for sale and I was blown away! It doesn't even look the same! They did a bunch of remodeling and it looks like Hawaii in tbe backyard! Lol! We had an omlypic size swimming pool which is still there but it's surrounded by a fancy dancy tropical outfit. Lol! We were what you considered poor back then. And our house had nothing fancy except the pool! Lol!

I am trying so hard to hold back the tears with the awful situation in Los Angeles as it's a very special place in my heart Ever since i first visited Hollywood twenty six years ago and to return three times more years later, but thank you for This beautiful video with love and greetings from Ireland.

[@fredericfantino]

I want to make it clear that I’m not American, and I don’t live in Los Angeles. However, in the way I think and feel, I sometimes believe that in a past life, I must have come from this amazing city. I love Los Angeles, and every time I visit, it truly feels like home to me. I’m deeply saddened by the massive wildfire currently devastating the area. My heart goes out to all the people affected by this tragedy. Thank you once again for this beautiful video, which perfectly showcases the incredible beauty of this city. 🌟

As a X California native I really miss my home state. That being said the California I grew up in until I was 31 no longer exists. That’s why I moved away The whole place is over populated and the dream is over. Blessings to all my old Californian’s , terrible to see what just happened.🙏🕊️ I don’t think we’ve seen the last of this unfortunately 😔

@deanpd3402 Very unusual. Most places grow and change. I don't think I would care to live in a place that didn't change. Sometimes I think when we stay living in one place a long time things chang we gradually. You must like where you are to have lived there 60 years.

[@Turnt420awoo]

It’s hard to explain California to people but it’s definitely not what it used to be. I grew up in San Diego and I often long to see it again as it was in the late 70s, also hard to explain. I blame timeshares and foreign investors they just sucked the life out of most neighborhoods. Don’t get me started on traffic and texting while driving 🙄❤️

[@Democracy10]

It is a symbolic symbol of Los Angeles California. It is recognized throughout the United States and the world. As in any state or city things change with the growing modern times. The sign is a symbol of old California Hollywood. It is a familiar sight to see. It belongs there. And it has stood the test of time. 🇺🇸

[@peterdorninbalance]

Despite the tragic events, it was a great pleasure to float over the hills! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful trip! Best wishes from Germany!

[@deanpd3402]

It is interesting. As an Australian, I notice they have quite a few of the Aussie Eucalypt trees planted. Apparently they have not heard about the bushfires we have in Australia. It is an explosive tree and needs to be removed and replaced with more beautiful trees like oaks or elms. These trees do not explode into fire.

[@peterfulmek8082]

best and simply footage of Sign ever made... THX bro...

[@patriciaschuster1371]

Thank you for this video. Glad the sign is safe for now. May all future output from this be positive and building up rather than cheap sex and violence.

What's wrong with cheap sex? It beats expensive sex any day of the week.

[@kidilantraveler]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing

[@brad-t-xtr8]

I cannot get my simple minded brain to comprehend this nightmare, and I live over 2000 miles away. I have visited LA several times and really could never get enough of the natural beauty from the mountains to the ocean. Riding the Amtrak from Los Angeles to San Diego was a dream trip for me. It is all gone now and will take a bout 100 years for the nature to come back. Why would anyone want to rebuild their home after this? My prayers to everyone as it will be a lifetime of struggle for anyone choosing to stay, says me. I pray for peace and comfort and the phycological trauma hasn't even begun to take hold at this early stage and I pray people will not harm themselves over time.

[@fouziakhan3303]

Phew such a relief to see this beautiful part still beautiful and Hollywood sign is there shining.

[@livingreflection5]

A drone hit one of those huge planes that picks up so much water from the ocean to save homes. That plane is still grounded. Keep your drones out of the skies!

[@phoenix123392]

but they don,t take salt water at all. not from the ocean anyways

[@infinidominion]

​@@phoenix123392yes they do! They couldn't at first because of the EXTREME WIND EVENT of the first night ...

[@janetwatson7966]

Was it a plane or helicopter? I didn't know planes could help with fires

[@jaybobd]

@@janetwatson7966 It was a superscooper plane on loan from Canada. One of two. But because of a selfish person like this youtuber, it is now grounded until at least Monday so they can only use one. The superscoopers can deliver much more water than helicopters.

[@carystorm1863]

I was wondering about the palisade fire's the whole house is gutted but a tree and huge 15 foot bushes in the front of the house are untouched by the fire ?

[@mircorizza5609]

Yes indeed. And the tall trees covering and flanking the roof of the houses they are another extremely dangerous way to decorate the houses. I live in on a hill full of trees and we experience drought every summer but all the trees and the bushes are far from every home. This is the first step to stay safer but sadly I don't see this in L.A. 😢

Stunning work. How beautiful LA looks, unfortunately the same can't be said of other parts of Los Angeles. Sad such a special place is suffering devastating losses, no less the thousands of animals that have perished and the animal rescuers who are doing an amazing job., as time of writing this, in '25.

Excellent video footage, brother, but you know they have TFR (Temporary flight restrictions) in effect in those fire zones. If you get caught, you will be fined the maximum. As a part 107 pilot, I know we want to get those views, but we have to wait until we get the all-clear and then create great content!

[@JEK]

exactly

[@davidsmith8271]

I really hope this iconic sign is saved and I hope that hollywood finally comes to realize that God is in control and hollywood needs to admit this. This fire in L.A. could have been prevented and should have never happened if the people in charge and the Governor would have done his job properly. The devastation wouldn't be as bad as it is know. California needs better leadership and better people running the show. I give credit to all the first responders for there bravery in helping people and getting these fires undercontrol to best of there abilities. God bless everyone in L.A. and the counties surrounding the city. California is still a beautiful state and still be after this has past. To those who have lost so much my heart goes out to all of. I pray God will give you peace and comfort your hurting hearts as you go threw this time of hurt and being unsure. But remember you can always rebuild and make it better. I know my words won't mean much but lean on God for his help and his love for each and every one of you. God bless you all.

[@coccacat4783]

They should not have built so many wooden houses so close together in the canyons in the first place. Simply insane.

[@yokosomike]

What street were you flying over, was it Beechwood? At first I thought it was Canyon Drive but I couldn't find my old house if it was. I used to ride my bike down to Franklin then east and up to Griffith Park and then over the top of the mountain to the Hollywood sign then back down Beechwood back to my house. Glad to see the neighborhood survived.

[@gpxo11]

The last part of the video-atop Runyon Canyon where many people hike to is where the Sunset Fire was-a good distance from the Hollywood sign to it's left (looking at sign-about a half mile away)-you can see that the fire was close to making it down the hill which all those homes would have been torched. Looking out from the Hollywood sign in the distance to the right was the location of the Pacific Palisades fire where the smoke was prevalent.

Hi ! Several hundred water mist cannons would be useful to humidify the air and soak the roofs of houses. The population should be trained in their use.

[@crazidirtbiker]

FACT: Witches and wizards would use the wood of a holly tree to craft their magical wands to cast spells. HOLLYWOOD

[@trevorphillips9576]

Umm no. Hollywood is called Hollywood because the name was chosen by Daeida Wilcox, who was developing the land in the area, and she liked the sound of the name "Hollywood" after hearing about an estate with the same name in Illinois; the name is a combination of "holly" and "wood," which could also be interpreted as referring to the holly-like toyon shrubs that grew in the area, although this is not the primary reason for the name choice. A devout Christian, Daeida reportedly overheard the word Hollywood on a train and thought that it was a perfect name for the Wilcoxes' envisioned utopia.

[@crazidirtbiker]

I guess witches making magical wands with the wood of the holly is just a coincidence then just like the water being shut off. I understand

I lived there for 12 years in the 80's and 90's. Such a dynamic and diverse place. In some ways I really miss it very much. But I finally moved back to NM so I could buy a nice house and have quick access to mountains and forests. L.A. is just too big and crazy these days. For those who don't know: There are fires pretty much every year, but usually they are on the outskirts of town and usually don't get this out of control.

[@joelanderos23]

they were evacuated from that area the night before. even hollywood blvd.

[@VivaVictory]

The houses nestling in the hills are expensive and beautiful but I'm also a fan of rolling hills without houses. The Hollywood sign was cleverly done and truly iconic in its day. Unfortunately, Hollywood has become associated with the very depths of depravity. Also, the wood of the holly tree (holly wood) was used for making witches wands. The area has links with witchcraft and evil practices.

[@RyanLevine-hm5wy]

For what the video was I enjoyed it!To see that area from a drones perspective was pretty cool,and surreal at the same time,the beauty of California is all I have to say about that state!Everything else is a waste!

Is the sign made of Metal? It sure looks like it
