LOS ANGELES (CBSLA/AP) — A dangerous new wildfire erupted in the tony Bel Air area of Los Angeles early Wednesday as firefighters battled three other destructive blazes across Southern California. Flames exploded before dawn on the steep slopes of the east side of Sepulveda Pass, which carries heavily traveled Interstate 405 through the Santa Monica Mountains where ridge tops are covered with expensive homes. At least two could be seen burning. The 150-acre Skirball Fire started across the freeway from Skirball Center Drive, an area located near homes and across the freeway from the famous Getty Museum and the Skirball Cultural Center.

Is this a result of global warming?

Most people don’t understand yet how bad the situation is in California. They have zero containment and winds out of Santa Anna are going to be there worse tonight. You are going to see gusts in the 40-70 mph range.

They will need tax cuts to rebuild.

But heaven help giving tax dollars to the firefighters and first responders.

Trump should fire Mueller

Would provide enough liberal tears to douse the flames.



Do the right thing Mr. President. Save lives and property

And, just like that California will be begging for the country's help when they spend the rest of their time telling us to frick off that they'll do what they want.

I’d be too scared to drove in this! Look at this video from this morning’s commute on the 405. It’s like visions of Hell

There's some fires here in Virginia as well, but not nearly as destructive. Still a cause for concern.

I will say that I have seen WAY more deer hit by cars because of it, and the other day I saw a dead bear by the side of the road. I literally did a double take on that - the bears, at least, never venture anywhere near the cities in this area. The fire is driving them out of their habitats towards humans.

I'm not sure there's anywhere I'd have to go badly enough that I would be inclined to keep driving TOWARD that.

So this might burn all of LA and even get to San Diego.

Unreal.
