0:45 hey, at least the stairs survived

[nononsenseBennett]

UNACCEPTABLE failure by "management" which needs to be addressed NOW. Ridiculous that this carnage happened.

[abdullahalhatmi]

In Richest area in USA, government provides $10 - $24 a day 😮😮😮😮 to prisoners who fight Los Angelos fires

[lukewarmwater]

I love it! You're better prepared now that everything has been demolished...brilliant response.

[Netstarr]

I predict that not only SCE will be bankrupted but everyone else too ( That didn’t have complete full fire insurance)

[abdulazizsaleh]

This is suspicious 🤔... i wanna know more about the coz of this tragedy

[IntoTheMindlessAbyss]

The dude that was reunited with his dog was about the only positive thing I heard all day. He very much cared about that dog and it showed with intense energy.

I admit that certain people probably really did deserve this fire but not that man with the dog.

[MarieJean-ij]

Fire fighters are heroes and saviours for this sad tragedy.

[nimpanardo]

God humbled the rich and arrogant people, now God teaches you how to be KIND especially to the homeless.

[lucyluo]

Home home, please stay safe… my heart is with you on the east coast ❤

[SAGAWISIW]

I wonder where all the evacuees went ...we have not seen them on TV news yet...

[ssryr]

Don't plant Eucalyptus, Pine and other oily trees bushes, there should always be buffer zones around hilly forest regions with water bodys.

[Valerietorelli]

As sorry as myself and family are due, to the damage is we are praying and sending hugs. Have maybe east coast drones have moved to LA area.

[magnusryrvikkjall]

Imagine being the one knowing its your own fault for all this ?

[kamilamala]

Why don't you watering your houses before ? It's big question seeing people do it in front of the fire around .You just watched

[donnahague]

Since they don’t have insurance because they pulled out can the citizens sue the municipalities?? They failed or refused to provide the necessary resources to fight any large fire … People need to sue the municipalities who make the decisions on funding…

Gid says: Rescue d victims from their oppressors lest d fire of my fury blaze up and burn against u unquenched.

[WalayatFamily]

US - No ceasefire for Gaza,

God - No ceasefire for LA

[TheSUPERburrito]

Why hasn't some type of super fire fighting barge been engineered by now? Even the type river cities use would have helped the pch a great deal!

[pantium]

Build all houses with reinforced concrete from now on. Wood is combustible material.
