A forest fire that started on the coast of Los Angeles (LA), California, USA, spread out of control, creating a situation reminiscent of an ‘apocalypse movie’ throughout the region.
On the 10th, videos taken in areas where forest fires spread are being uploaded one after another on social media such as X (formerly Twitter).
One netizen shared the video with X with the caption, “Two men and a dog trapped in a house surrounded by fire.” In the video, the entire outside of the house, visible through the living room glass, is a sea of fire.
The homeowner looked helplessly at the burning village and tried to comfort his dog by saying, “It’ll be okay.”
Another netizen posted a video saying, “The reason the LA forest fire could not be extinguished was because of the strong winds.” The trees around the McDonald’s sign are on fire, with flames blowing in the fierce wind.
A video of a village swept through by fire was also uploaded. The person who shared the video said it was like Pompeii, a city that was destroyed overnight by a volcanic eruption.
The photographer said, “Oh my God! “This is the first time I’ve seen this in my life,” he lamented. Other netizens also expressed regret, saying, “It feels like an apocalypse movie.”
Taking advantage of this chaos, people are even breaking into empty houses. It is truly a case of abusing the fathers. On this day, LA County Sheriff Luna said, “More than 20 people have been arrested on charges of looting in the past few days since the wildfire broke out,” and “the number is expected to increase.”
This forest fire started around 10:30 am on the 7th in Pacific Palisades, a luxury residential area on the LA coast. The fire spread rapidly thanks to strong winds. It is expected that seven places, including Eaton, Hearst, Lydia, and Woodley, will be reduced to ashes, causing the largest amount of damage ever.
