CALIFORNIA FIRES : WOOLSEY FIRE EVACUATION FOOTAGE
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
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.
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.
