I live right next to Macy. Despite a sheriff knocking on our doors to evacuate us, most people on our street right closest to the fires evacuated. Everyone was flooding their yards and houses. The smoke was crazy and I almost threw up from the smoke inhalation. So glad everyone is okay

All these new builds right in the fire zone while fire insurance is impossible to get

Yesterday when this happened and I saw it I prayed to god to not let anyone get hurt

[@dren1794]

Just another area that has burned all the time for centuries! Building houses in prone fire areas is not smart!

Up back in seventy four eighty somewhere around there, I lived off highway seventy four and it was scary, it went right past, but thank god, but that place was on fire too

[@samanthasosa1898]

I live in fairview st so it was very scary

Back in the early 1990's my dad and would drive from San Diego to LA and we would take interstate 15 and every summer that area would catch 🔥🔥🔥🔥 fire.

Just imagine if the California State Legislature took even half of the money that spend every year on putting out fires and spent it on forest management.

Williams is a con job name

[@Paul-sk2pc]

😂 like the 24 billion CA spent on homeless, which absolutely made no impact if not attracted more homeless.

[@Odin33356]

The con job capital of the world is no place for me.

[@Odin33356]

This country has no men at all.

[@Odin33356]

Anything with a actual brain is considered insane.

Carlos hello ..precausion' Saludes ala familia

[@teresaislas5592]

I wonder who's lighting all the fires

[@willhaney96]

Smokers flicking butts out windows

[@binglesnort]

Can’t say for certain but one of my neighbors (we live right in front of the fire) said he recorded a man running down from the trail in the ortegas and was being really suspicious

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

That is unfortunate.

[@kc6nfv746]

If people was not lazy and cut the brush down we not have as many fires cut the brush down on the spring why its green and give it another cut a second time

[@cedricksamaniego9146]

The fire is finally here again😅...

[@Malibu_Dawn]

[@binglesnort]
