Holy moly it sounds like 1943 Berlin
Not quite “Aluminum Overcast” but a lot of birds in the air today…
(Edit)Thank you firefighters!
Yikes!!!
Neighbors evacuated but house ok
The county needs to upgrade its alert system.
Thank you Craig. My reaction to the video was visceral. It felt like I was on scene. And thank you firefighters. Jin
Good coverage. Found out about this here and stayed until the end! It was close!
Great video !!
(Edit)I love the 1:45 mark seeing cars and homes “painted” pink.
It annoys me that people are walking around in their bathrobe and using a garden hose instead of packing up and evacuating.
Hey, RCM – we get you.
We were also impressed with videographer Craig Cannon’s cinĂ©ma vĂ©ritĂ© style. It was less “news package” and more “mini documentary.”
We pointedly left in the pink Phos-Chek dusting, too, having seen it so often and, once, crash full tilt into a local photographer when an air tanker pilot used him for an aiming stake.
We also felt the visuals you mention were telling, exemplifying the confusion usually accompanying incidents of this type.
Thanks for reaching out!
Liked the dude in his bath robe.
That was wild.
Love the ground level shots, almost like being back in a Malibu fire.
