[@GermanGuy007]

This myth has been debunked, chances of glass starting a fire is extremely remote. Unfortunately there’s millions of broken glass bottles in the forrests, so under the right circumstances hundreds of fires would start at the same time, likely around noon. The L. A. fires started at night or in the morning.

at night? at the base of an electrical tower? lol, its the overtaxed power grid. they literally said their power was out. why? because it overloaded and caused a fire before they could shut it down. its a great time to short pge's stock

[@traviswright8060]

I have 20 years as a wild land firefighter. It is completely possible that the fire on Jan. 1st was not completely mopped up and sparked a new fire, it is also completely possible that the power lines started fires in high winds. After the initial fires started it is possible arsonists were involved in some starts. Throughout history there has been pyro’s who love to start fires. My initial suspicion is the Jan 1st fire sparking up in high winds and making a run. With the other fire being started by power lines. I do not believe some huge conspiracy as this was an eventuality. People building homes in a high risk fire area is something we deal with every summer. This just happens to get a lot more attention because of the wealthy and celebrities homes.

My take is that regardless of the source or start point of the fire, the fact that it had the capacity to spread that fast to cause such a magnitude of destruction is disturbing. Would it have been any difference if it were from a house or any other ordinary cause? The housing and settlement planning needs to be re-evaluated

[@angelal1923]

Having watched both wildfires and floods in Canada here, fire and water goes where it wants to regardless. We watched a new river form because there was a tree that came away in the right point of the river for it to decide to cut through a peninsula. Fire is similar, unless there is a good firebreak, it's going to jump where it wants to, through both the air and the ground through roots. The more concerning fact to me is that the reserve for water for firefighting was so diminished. My thoughts are to you all in California at this time.

[@sphere117gaming]

It seems you dont understand fire if you think that. Even if the houses are made out of brick they'd have the same results. Its obvious you dont understand ther sheer temperature and force of these types of fires. In fact even if a number of houses was wet beforehand it would again still happen. So no its not disturbing at all. Its perfectly expected. And has been for a while. Its only disturbing and unexpected to those uneducated or inexperienced.

[@dordorfromhk-hj5vo]

[@exposingthetruth3821]

I lived in Montana and fought fires for 3 years, making extra money. There's a lot of prevention that isn't being done, but once it gets like this, dry and as windy, fires can skip as far as heat and embers can travel. I've seen forest fires jump valleys a half mile away. With the open Santa Anna winds and the style of fuel producing lightweight embers that don't burn out fast, travelling farther distances than the woods im used to, this will probably be at best contained- until rain comes. This is terrible, but I do think this was preventable, and there's evidence of both passed bills ignored and money being redirected away from protecting the citizens.

What do you suggest they do? Power lines energize the air and that can cause static electric arcing. Power line towers attract lightning. Burying high tension lines cannot be done long distances due to heat dissipation problems. Defoliating wide swaths beneath transmission lines might be a solution. Assuming power transmission is the culprit in the first place. But these fires started where no powerlines exist

[@edswiatkowski121]

Someone did call 911 and video documented it. Only after 45 minutes there are response. You can search title "Palisades man says wife called 911" it mention a former us attorney

👉 How on earth that electrical fire was not reported straight away to then send over to it a Canadair to extinguish that fire ??? This is unforgiving. Sad,

Great investigative work. I knew it had to come from up high. Please pray for us and for rain 🌧️. We need ☔ rain.

What happened to the young lady who was interviewed when the FIRST fire started in Palisades ? She was hiking with her dog and gave a description of what she saw. Never heard the interview again. Many others repeated. She saw exactly what happened. Sweeping it under the rug ??

[@yungrom427]

It’s obvious it could of been intentional it’s all under investigation just because you don’t hear it on the news doesn’t mean ATF hasn’t interviewed, next administration will be overseeing the investigation so you can assure nothing will be done.

So, people video taped the start of two fires....but.... did any of these people think to call 911 and REPORT the fires??? Like, could early reporting of the fires, as soon as they were discovered, have prevented the small initial fires from becoming wild fires?

[@lexip9225]

Those kids 100% started the Palisades fire. They aren't "hikers" they are online pranksters who filmed the entire thing and posted it immediately to social media for likes. If you watch all of their videos it's VERY obvious they started the fire and then ran away from it laughing and pretending it just randomly appeared right where they just were.

[@felix0-014]

That's what I was thinking. They probably didn't think it would get as out of control as it did

[@humanbeing5300]

If that is true they will certainly be questioned and investigated by law enforcement eventually

[@lancemarchetti8673]

You can be arrested just for your irresponsible comment.

[@nunyabusy]

No way. If you have ever gone out to touch grass on a mountainside, you would know that smoke was a few miles away from those boys. It would have taken them hours to get back there, light the fire, are return. And that is nearly impossible to do in the dark. They would have had to start out in the dark or ridden in a helicopter to get there

But the base is not wires. I wonder if they were set at the bases of the towers to make it look like it was the towers.

[@JeffBilkins]

Do you even know how power lines work? Plenty of natural ways to spark near the towers.

[@FlaGiant]

They rain sparks onto the ground during high wind events. That's why they're supposed to de-energize those lines. If you remember when they were showing videos from the fires the lines were still sparking, they probably didn't want to shut the celebrities power off for the duration of the wind storms for fear of complaints.

[@yorkrojas1452]

May everyone be Safe!!!!

[@Kivhtas]

That transmission tower fire is highly susceptible to sparking from the high voltage equipment. Given the wind it could be the reason.

[@jdfi1403]

Years ago there was an intense heat wave on my trip to Sicily. I saw a fire starting up on the side of the road. A small fire truck was there so fast to put the fire out. I was aware of the fire department on that trip basically hanging out and waiting. My guess is the fire on the side of the road was a cigarette thrown out the window by the riff raff. I was driving high up in the hills. Very sad how beautiful California is burning up.

Once that fire established itself and the dry winds took control there was no stopping it. A good chance with air support but with such high winds that wasn’t a option at the start. I do hope that catch who did this and maybe get answers for all the victims. One thing for sure trump isn’t going to support anything without getting something from it to benefit him.

(Qur'an 46:24) Then when they saw the torment as a dense cloud approaching their valleys, they said happily, “This is a cloud bringing us rain.” But Prophet Hûd replied, “No, it is what you sought to hasten: a fierce wind carrying a painful punishment!” (Qur'an 46:25) It destroyed everything by the command of its Lord, leaving nothing visible except their ruins. This is how We reward the wicked people.

Part of this is due to the fact that most homes are build from wood panels. I could have never thought that this material is so spread in construction over there. Quite cheap but really flammable, specially in such climate. That’s why use mortal , bricks and concrete .

The California wildfires have left many areas without power, creating chaos and uncertainty for affected residents. While the government works on restoring services, people are left to manage on their own. Reliable backup power solutions, such as Jackery's portable power stations, are worth considering as a way to prepare for and combat disasters like this. They provide peace of mind and ensure you stay connected when it matters most.
