Following The Fire
00:03:56
|
|
| This is in my general area and what you're going to see is basically the fire coming over the hillsides. | |
| And we're driving down a street where... | |
| we're on the way to Malibu is what we're doing. | |
| As you're going to see, we're actually following the cop cars. | |
| And we're watching as the fire is coming over the hillsides to our left. | |
| And we are following the cop cars so that we don't have to stop. | |
| Because we figured that... | |
| Or I was driving. | |
| I figured they're not going to turn around and arrest me. | |
| And I figured our safety was more important. | |
| So you can see the fire coming down. | |
| As we're driving, I can't believe they saved that neighborhood, believe it or not. | |
| We're passing houses here closer to the ground, but see the line of the fire? | |
| And so this is the fire that was on its way. | |
| Hadn't reached Malibu that night. | |
| This is all in the Thousand Oaks area. | |
| I am not in the Oak Park area, but we heard that it was worse over there. | |
| And we are following cops out of, and you see all the cars parked on the right-hand side, just a very obediently... | |
| I love how people just do what they're told. | |
| So if you're going to just burn up and die because a cop wants to get by you, then you're going to do it. | |
| And we didn't even know what the cops were doing this for. | |
| Like what were they trying to do? | |
| Thank you. | |
| Everyone was trying to leave the area. | |
| This is the typical kind of thing going on, right? | |
| So we're all trying to leave the area. | |
| And then people kind of got wise and said, oh, screw it. | |
| Let's follow the cops out. | |
| And so then people started to turn their cars on and get going again, instead of sitting there like sitting docks. | |
| What we've done here now is mostly the fire is now to the left of us and a bit behind us. | |
| we've kind of come out, but it is also in the front and to the right in places. | |
| This | |
| is a still photo I took of the fire looking over in the direction of Malibu. | |

Paramount Ranch Burning

|
| Thank you. | |
| I think this is on the way back the following morning, like at 7 a.m. | |
| The fire is coming towards us. | |
| We are actually going towards the fire. | |
| It's now gone into what's called the Paramount Ranch area. | |
| And we are driving in a road up above Paramount Ranch area. | |
| And... | |
| You can see how it's this huge fire cloud that's coming towards us and we're going towards it. | |
| It's over towards Calabasas. | |
| It's coming through what's called Paramount Ranch. | |
| Paramount Ranch is Paramount Pictures. | |
| It's a ranch where they film movies. | |
| That is Paramount Ranch burning and everyone is standing around watching it. | |
