Probably wonât be posting here much going forward. The fires in LA really proved to me how unhelpful Twitter has become after once being a vital source of info. Find me at bsky.app/profile/johnschreib⊠or instagram.com/johnschreiberc⊠(photo from Mountain Fire in Camarillo)
Not sure what it is about vintage blue #Volkswagen vans but this is the second one I have seen survive the fires in Los Angeles. Every single thing around them burned⊠but the blue Volkswagens survived. #EatonFire
For reference here is the other one I saw survived the fires apnews.com/article/los-angelâŠ
While at the fires, I try to check on as many homes as I can when asked but I canât do them all. But, Using our helicopter with map overlay is a great way for people to see if their home is ok. I know @kcalnews will do more of these videos in coming days. youtu.be/nFIsFH9jDl0?si=7kBfâŠ
The owners of this home on McNally Ave in #Altadena told us they had 23 motorcycles inside that all burned⊠including some rare Ducatis. All you can see now are the charred tail pipes. #EatonFire #Ducati
Block after block after block of utter destruction here in #Altadena from the #EatonFire. I just canât process yet how destructive this fire was. Neighborhoods are a monochromatic hell scape. Some of the only color I could find were the citrus trees with fruit still hanging on.
You can count how many homes burned by counting the chimneys⊠they are all that remain standing. Six homes are in this one video at the corner of N Marengo Ave & Altadena Dr. #Altadena #eatonfire
The Bank of America in #Altadena on Lake Ave also now burning to the ground. It looked ok earlier today and now itâs fully engulfed. #EatonFire @kcalnews
The Altadena Senior Center is burning to the ground. Firefighters say the fire hydrants up here are dry and they have to keep driving elsewhere to refill their tanks and come back up to continue the fire fight. The famous Christmas Tree Lane also on fire. #EatonFire #Altadena
The Altadena Community Church steeple has just crumbled to the ground. Whatâs worse is the Chevron station next door canât shut off its pumps with 15,000 gallons of fuel in the tanks. St Marks Episcopal has also burned to the ground #EatonFire @kcalnews
This is the #HurstFire seen just a block from the 210 Freeway on Yarnell St in #Sylmar. Winds are extreme throwing embers across the freeway. People an horses evacuating from the neighborhood @kcalnews
One person is dead and 18 others injured after a small plane crashed into a warehouse near #Fullerton Airport today. Security camera footage captured the crash and fireball that followed. @michelegiletv @kcalnews
The last full moon of 2024 is a "Major Lunar Standstill" which only happens once every 18.6 years. This means the moon rises in the its furthest northern position on the horizon and will set in its furthest southern position. Next time this will happen is in 2043. @kcalnews
Thankfully winds are light and itâs not spreading quickly but itâs always worrisome seeing a brush fire start in the Sepulveda Pass given past history with fires in this area
A Piper PA-32 single-engine plane crashed into a parking lot just feet from a dragstrip where the #NHRAFinals were being held in #Pomona. The plane hit multiple vehicles including a truck, motorcycle and camping trailer. Four people in the plane were injured. #NHRA
A large multistory home has been reduced to rubble here on Altamont Way in #Camarillo as the #MountainFire continues to burn. One car was lost in the garage but firefighters were able to roll out and save two vintage roadsters @kcalnews #cafire
Homes burning on Avocado Place in #SpanishHills in the #MountainFire as the winds are furiously whipping and fanning the flames. @kcalnews
Fire throwing a lot of thick black smoke into the air in #NorthHollywood near the west end of #Burbank Airport. @LAFD on scene and HazMat en route. One runway of @fly_BUR is temporarily shut down as smoke is right in the arrivals path (second runway remains open).
