LOS ANGELES — A huge California wildfire burning near Los Angeles doubled in size by Saturday, and officials said two people were found dead in the fire zone, bringing the deaths suspected in several large blazes in the state to at least 11. The two people who were found dead in the area of the so-called Woolsey Fire are being treated as fire-related deaths at this time but an investigation is ongoing, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Chief John Benedict said. That fire has prompted evacuation orders affecting some 200,000 people and destroyed what is estimated to be many homes. The fires have been fueled by high winds, officials said. There was a lull in the winds in the Southern California areas on Saturday, but hot, dry Santa Ana winds are forecast to resume on Sunday, Ventura County sheriff's Sgt. Eric Buschow said. "Red flag warnings" were in place across much of the state Saturday. More than 250,000 people in California were under evacuation orders from three blazes — the Woolsey Fire burning northwest of Los Angeles, the so-called Camp Fire in Butte County, and the Hill Fire, also in Ventura County, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said.The town of Paradise, population 26,000, north of Sacramento was devastated, with the town's mayor estimating that 80 to 90 percent of homes have been destroyed. At least nine people have been killed in that fire, which broke out Thursday morning, including five people whose cars were overcome by the flames, officials said. The fire, which has burned around 100,000 acres, was 20 percent contained Saturday. Marilyn Pelletier got a knock on her door in Paradise and was told she had five minutes to leave. She grabbed her medicine bag and her small dog, and when she left "the whole sky was pink." The Woolsey Fire burning in parts of Los Angeles and Ventura counties as well as Malibu has grown to around 70,000 acres by Saturday, up from 35,000 acres on Friday. At least 50 or more homes in Ventura County have been destroyed or damaged in that fire, Buschow said, but estimates are preliminary. shitleak vid link removed |

Jesus Christ. That Greece bush fire video is shocking. Did he die at the end? I heard water (which I would have thought would have been scalding hot) then something slumped against the ground or wall.

I think that putting on your makeup shouldn't be a priority, especially when there is a gigantic fire outside your door. ![]() |

Came here to see if anyone snagged the Greg Woodcox video ...the guy who couldn't get his 5 friends to leave in time...he jumped in water then went back to check on his friends but they were all dead. They were among the first confirmed fatalities as he had it on video. His nephew apparently uploaded the video unedited on youtube but now he's getting major blowback from the public & press about it and I can't find the unedited version anywhere. Edit: found it on another post in the video section. |
