Malibu residents share harrowing accounts of 'insane' wildfire chaos
Malibu residents share harrowing accounts of a ferocious fire that tore through, destroying homes and forcing thousands to evacuate. As firefighters battled the blaze in the canyons above Malibu, a resident of the small California coastal town describes the blaze that destroyed several homes overnight: “Our trees are catching on fire. Houses are catching on fire. There was fire every single direction you look...There were hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of acres on fire and embers flying everywhere.”

00:00In this house, the firefighters were around the other side of the canyon dealing with
00:21the mountains.
00:22There was so much fire in here.
00:24It was insane, insane.
00:28Our trees are catching on fire.
00:29Cactuses are catching on fire.
00:31There was fire every single direction you look.
00:33You can't really see it right here, but we're in this kind of valley, mountain range area
00:40right now, and we're completely surrounded.
00:43There was hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of acres on fire, and embers flying everywhere.
00:49So the Santa Ana winds are what bring it in.
00:51It's these warm winds that come from the Santa Anas, and they're hot, and they catch stuff
00:55on fire, and they're powerful, and they're dry.
00:59This is when fire season is in Malibu.
01:01Fire season happens all the time.
01:04It's a great place to live, but it's kind of like the Wild West in that we have fires,
01:07we have floods, we have mudslides, we have rockslides.
01:13It's not as glamorous maybe as everyone may think, but it is an amazing and beautiful
01:17place to live.
01:18But you have to deal with things like this, unfortunately.
01:20We ain't gonna lose this fucking house.
01:25We are not gonna lose this fucking house.
01:40And I got up, and I opened up the door, and it was all the mountains surrounding us were
01:46engulfed in flames, and the fire was extremely close.
02:55Yeah.
02:56Yeah.
