I used to live in WH at Larabee and Sunset. It is just a few blocks down, Runyon Canyon. I don't believe it has made down to the Boulevards yet and winds are down to 20mph. Fingers crossed.
I am trying to convince anyone with a bigger platform on the left to talk to me in order to have a very important discussion about what the right wing (potentially FA) are doing on YouTube. Sadly my success rate is0, which sucks cause I have a bad feeling after 20th of Jan we will not get much help.
Brian if you can see this: I’m in WA but hold a Cali nursing license. I reactivated with the Red Cross but they’re often slow to respond and deploy. If you know of any other nonprofits on the ground who could use med personnel, plz let me know.
The fire is rapidly approaching the heart of historic Hollywood.
The Los Angeles Fire Department just posted this: “Immediate threat to life. This is a lawful order to LEAVE NOW. The area is lawfully closed to public access”
I don't really think the snark is necessary. Obviously, to a safer, more predictable area if he is able. This has already proven to be an unprecedented fire, so if people can go somewhere that may be safer, they should.
Video is great-be sure to open every single cabinet & drawer. When I lost my home in a wildfire I had to list every item we lost in order to be compensated. Including depreciation, heirloom like items for their value and receipt copies of any items of furniture or blinds etc. it was a nightmare.
Not yet. They're possibly expanding to the west Coldwater Canyon. They haven't said yet it's in the yellow zone to sunset Boulevard. Not in the flats. Air ships syrup dropping lots of water. Concerned about embers from those palm trees
The who or why or how can be dealt with later. Stay focused on survival first. The truth will still be the truth tomorrow. Trump will still suck at life. His followers will still believe everything. Focus on yourselves and your neighbors and get the fuck out of there!
Approx. 10 acres are burning in Runyon Canyon. The fire hasn't reached Franklin or Hollywood Blvd. as of 7:25pm (PT) According to Watch Duty app: Evacuation Order Level 3 -GO-from Laurel Canyon Blvd. to Mulholland Drive all the way to 101. (includes Franklin & Fuller area down to Hollywood Blvd).
Why do right-wingers immediately think everything is a conspiracy? Even a devastating fire. I don't get it. D.E.W., a secret weapon targeting people and farmland. Why?
I just had my mom's MAGA boyfriend tell me the fires were started by rich people wanting to take farmland away from them. He said they were targeted fires to take their land. He saw this on X and referred to something called D.E.W., a weapon I guess, which I have no clue what he is talking about.
Apparently the Aussie firefighters are waiting for the call. Seems to be a yearly thing these days when Aussies fight fires in California, or vice versa.
Given that Australia is in peak bushfire season, I wonder how many of our firefighters can be released to help. It's supposed to be opposite fire seasons but, you know #ClimateCatastrophe
I'm reading your post about 1 hour later, and the live KABC stream is reporting they seem to have gotten a handle on it somewhat, as the winds died down.
I used to live south of this evacuation zone, and I can attest how densely populated that area is. If that all goes up in flames, that makes Pac Pal devastation look like nothing. (And that is not nothing!)
Its out bro, has been since pretty much when it started. Hollywood isn't in danger. Money made sure they were taken care of fast while they let family homes burn because you know rich people get to go to the front of the line.
It was put out quickly because the wind happened to die down last night and they successfully did aerial drops immediately. Many extremely rich people live in pacific palisades and Pasadena too. You act like por neighborhoods are burning.
I know, my nerves are on end. My 23 year old son is a wildland firefighter from Idaho, making his 3rd trip to our Beautiful Sister State California. 🇺🇲🔥🙏 All my Prayers! My guess is he will be out on the Eaton fire with UT, AZ, CO, and WA. They are in the green trucks nobody mentions 😪
U think someone involve with friends guys set the fire in different cities in one state California. If true then they will should catch and arrest few guys before they will coming fire 🔥 a worse.
Comment taken. The varied locales might argue that. Embers don't typically travel further than 3-4 miles in winds. Winds are back to normal and closest blaze to Runyon Cyn is 15 miles away. I hope you're right... if not, I hope there are a ton of cameras.
I'm not making a prediction - chaos serves the forces of darkness, and they know it. However, most recent CA fires weren't arson, & those that were didn't come across as political, & at least 1 got a long prison term. Downed power lines have been a persistent problem. We may or may not find out.
Just saw about 20 fire trucks going up into the neighborhoods and they are dropping a lot of water with air craft. It is crazy people trying to get out!
Log into a local LA TV station. They’re showing pictures of the fire with street map super imposed on top so you can see exactly what you’re looking at. Otherwise the flames are so massive. You don’t know what it is.
They are getting a grip on the fire in the Hollywood Hills now. Multiple helicopters have been dropping water and slowing the fire. A few palm trees next to apartments by Hollywood / Sunset Blvd have embers but it seems like firefighters are able to suppress.
This morning on @stephaniemiller.bsky.social , Chris LaVoie said a fire had flared up at freaking Sunset and La Cienega!! But the firefighters really jumped on it and it was done. (That area is crazy dense with people.)
I’ve been watching the local live news and the water dropping helicopters are blasting away the fires. We did not have this good news yesterday in the palisades bc no helicopters could fly due to winds exceeding 60mph. We have hope tonight.
Watch Duty is a non-profit that does amazing work. They kept me informed during nearby fires earlier this year, so we made a contribution. Please consider doing so, as well.
Angeleno here, and sadly we have indeed had arsonists that have started these devastating wildfires in the past. But this situation is different, because we had like 60-90 MPH winds from yesterday afternoon through this morning. So that's why this one spread so fast and so uncontrollably.
You can never know for sure, but deadly wildfires are now sadly common in CA. For instance, one my friends and I were evacuated from a camp site because it was too dry, and it literally burned down the next day.
Dry conditions can cause many fires to happen at once; my personal guess is natural.
They have had virtually no significant rainfall since the beginning of May. That along with substantial wind is the perfect condition for a fast spreading wildfire.
Yes!! We talk about the 4 Ps for evacuation readiness here as well. (4th is photos)
Sending love and prayers to all of beautiful southern California. 💔😢
I don't know the area well enough, but we are watching it live and they say the evacuation area is 101 to Muhlolland to Laurel canyon down to Hollywood BLVD and then areas beyond that are on a watch.
Comments
Evacuation zones: Laurel Canyon Blvd (on the west) to Mulholland Dr (on the north) to 101 Freeway (on the east) down to Hollywood Blvd (on the south).
Close to Hollywood Blvd.

Sending folks to my house hoping the wind doesn’t shift yet again for them:
The fire is rapidly approaching the heart of historic Hollywood.

Prep was made this past week, 'cause we (CA) could see this coming from a mile away
The winds here are WAY down now, so my hope is it won’t spread like things did last night. But still breezy.
Time for some sunset blvd photo shoots!
Drip. Drip. Drip.
It's reached sunset.

Now these people know what they’re talking about! 🙌🏼
Sending love and prayers to all of beautiful southern California. 💔😢
It's moving quickly though
No, but seriously, protect everyone. 💜💜💜
(Uh oh, another fire truck headed that way!)
The fires are BRUTAL.
