City of Santa Monica Evacuation Order for all areas of the city north of San Vicente. Evacuation Order: Immediate threat to life. This is a lawful order to LEAVE NOW. The area is closed to public access

Sun Valley is just north of me and I can’t find any info on that fire. What’s going on there?

I believe it’s this one, Tamarack Fire. Everyone please get the Watch Duty app!

It seems like it was a very contained copse of pine trees, but surrounding area is mostly industrial car and truck mega lots so thankfully not much fuel for spreading… 🙏🏼

Refilling the water reservoirs would have been a welcome priority but I guess she had too much on her plate promoting inclusion and diversity.
Fire hydrants almost empty.

This one escalated quickly...

My grandparents lived in the Palisades. I ache for that community.

Knowledge and wisdom are not equivalent.
Example:
Knowledge is knowing how to create an atomic bomb, wisdom is understanding why not to.
Knowledge is what contributed to global warming, wisdom is needed to alleviate it.
This planet is designed to save itself and it will with or without us.

Holy hell. Lord have mercy.

Lifelong Californian here...Sometimes I think loonies are starting these fires? If you're crazy and need attention what better way?

sparkling-nights.bsky.social•46 days ago

Trump's revenge against Newsom.

What a way to start 2025. Everything is burning in LA Co. and the admin from hell is not even installed yet.
Flashback to 2017: constant barrage of crazy loonies headlines and stable genius photo ops with certifiable statements that led to catastrophic pandemic.
