IF THERE'S ANYTHING I MISSED OR MESSED UP PLEASE ADD IT OR LET ME KNOW SO I CAN FIX IT. REBLOG TO SPREAD AWARENESS!!!!!!!! stay safe everyone

Please be kind to wild animals they want to live too. Please keep your pets indoors and if you evacuate please take them with you.

god the palisades fire is going to get much worse before it gets better. if you're in a fire prone area, please have a plan for evacuation and please don't make parking your car in both lanes of the only evacuation route and leaving with your keys a part of that plan. this is agonizing to watch.

La fire hot take.

Considering that there's a fire in LA that's destroying people's homes and lives, I bet there's gonna be scam bots pretending to be LA fire victims that prey on the hospitality of individuals just like the bots that pretend to be Gaza victims.

Free uber rides to evac centers with the code WILDFIRE25

Planet fitness is offering free showers, wifi, and charging stations to first responders and residents in the LA area who've been affected by the fires btw.

The Palisades Fire in California is a stark reminder of how quickly devastation can unfold. The flames moved so rapidly that cars were abandoned on highways in desperate attempts to escape. Each vehicle in the haunting photographs we see tells a story—families fleeing with pets or children in tears, individuals leaving behind all their earthly possessions to save their lives. Every car left behind symbolizes trauma, heartache, and unimaginable loss.

One particularly harrowing image that lingers in my mind is of elderly individuals being rushed across a parking lot in wheelchairs and hospital beds, the fire raging ominously in the background. There's something profoundly poignant about that scene—a chilling reminder of vulnerability in the face of disaster.

This fire reminds us of how small we are in the presence of nature’s fury. While its origins may be a combination of natural forces and human influence, the fire, now fueled by high winds and dry conditions, rages on with relentless aggression. It serves as a sobering call to action, urging us to confront the reality of a world increasingly shaped by such calamities.
