Fast-Moving Blaze Engulfs Pacific Palisades Hills, Smoke Blankets Santa Monica Bay

[@nora1956]

Better footage than the media shows on tv.

[@SCORPIUSANCTUM]

I always look for Independent folks (who usually have better footage and in real time)..the media just shares the same footage with eachother, it seems

[@angelahazel9249]

Prayers for the people and their pets!

[@lorewilhelm9182]

And the wild animals.

[@chuckdavis1323]

Nice ! ⬆️

[@ettaplace6716]

Yes prayers for the animals !

[@kindlydude]

...and more importantly their children ...lots of schools have burned down. I just lost my cat to a coyote, so believe me, I love my pets too ...but my one grandchild and daughter come first. We used to live in Topanga Canyon ten years ago & I lived in various places around Topanga & Malibu Canyon roads in the 80's. I'm praying for rain & all the people affected! This footage brought back so many happy memories with my grandbaby at the beach ...and the terror of fires in the past. I think the state needs to invest in a lot more of these planes!!1 As well as more volunteers to clear dead brush. Blessings!!

[@Liz-uj2ot]

❤ absolutely 💯 prayers from NY 🙏 for ALL affected by the fire

[@Meofcourse27]

GREAT SHOT of the tanker plane reloading with ocean water, FABIAN!!! You have a GREAT TALENT with the lens of that video camera!! Thank you, FABIAN!

[@2ormore3]

I feel so much heartfelt empathy for the people who lost homes and lives and animals and such.

[@jimwilliamsiii]

Nice job! Better than KTLA! Thank you!!

[@mazzholmes2086]

Fantastic filming Fabian. Stay safe and I hope the fires are soon under control. Sending ❤ to all from the U.K.

[@Lascallesdecalifornia]

It doesn't matter if we have money or not at the end of the day it breaks our hearts to see so many families without their homes and see how all their memories go away with this deep pain, it hurts me to think of all the little animals living in these areas freely, prayers for you🙏🏻

[@melaniemartin1975]

Fabian on the scene!

[@squinkque]

Great footage of the fire planes picking up water in the ocean.

[@Lizzoom]

Great camera work! Those pilots dropping water are incredible. What a dangerous job that is with almost no visibility and high winds! Wow!!

[@DerekWill-p1b]

It looks very windy, which spreads the wildfires ridiculously fast. I hope everyone is safe. Great video.

[@truther001]

I don’t see any trees blowing in the wind. This is footage is literally across the road from the fires.

[@DerekWill-p1b]

​@truther001 Look at the video at the 10:00 minute to about 10:20 mark the palm tress. It's windy. The wind is going towards the ocean and most of the video is shot from behind the hills.

[@danib1436]

[@JujusOracleMsgs]

Spirit told me about the San Bernardino wildfires back when that happened and then I got another message about Santa Monica. For weeks I was looking up Santa Monica to see if anything had come up on the news. Lo and behold. Praying for everyone in the west coast ❤

[@frances4797]

🙏😢 I can relate. It's a blessing and a curse 😞

[@TheBenrogue]

That was great videography, all the way through. The scooper tanker shot was the best. Those pilots are amazing, plowing through the ocean's surface while bringing on tons of live liquid weight has got to be a little nervy. Thank you!

[@SCORPIUSANCTUM]

especially with the intense winds!!! rescue and emergency crews have my utmost respect

[@desultorilypanacea]

Fabian thank you so much for making this video. But please, please don't put yourself in danger just for a video. Smoke can kill.

Great video!!!

Somehow I'm convinced that when the world ends, there'll always be someone jogging or riding a bike on Venice Beach.

[@snoozeflu]

The wind picked up so much they had to ground all water dropping aircraft, both planes and helicopters.

And, here in Florida people help each other, instead of riding around on a bike those people should be helping pull stuff out of houses to save it.

[@KutWrite]

Wow! Good coverage, Fabian!

[@LindaAinsworth-v9w]

Although not a good situation, very good video especially the Super Scoopers.

[@ReallyBarb]

I am a native Californian but I am ashamed of what you have become! In Florida here you can drive on the beach for fun, these people should have been able to evacuate on at least that paved path, but you have the worst governor ever.

Is it typical for the wind to blow out to the sea in this part of cali?.every time I went to the beach it would blow from ocean to land.

You're right. I grew up on Sunset and Arno way.
