This was shot by a couple friends on my Ice Hockey team. Luckily they're house wasn't harmed, but they are literally 2 houses down the street from this chaos you're about to see. We all this going on I'm suprised anything on that street remained. The firefighters in Socal are awesome, every year seems to get worse in fire season, and every year these guys get better at controlling these huge fires. I have nothing but respect for those men and women.
Small world, I actually insured another house on this street at my former agency, luckily that one was still standing as well.

Woah... Crazy stuff goin on out there.

 

you mean your hockey team

 

I don't want anyone thinking I play roller. eewwww.

 

you call roller hockey roller hockey and real hockey just hockey.


And I am only typing in this thread cuz i am pissed i cannot view videos at work.

 

well when you get home check it out. I'm suprised they were actually allowed to still be up there. Obviously they can't force anyone physically to evacuate, but this is as close as you can get without loosing some eyebrows or something.

 

wow thats nuts..i feel like i smell a fire in front of me from watching that...fire is a dangerous thing man..damn..

 

Yorba Linda, I know someone that lives there! I also have family in upland, know of it?

There was a house fire in my neighborhood about 5 years but not nearly as bad as that.

 

Yeah I know where Upland is, a co-worker lives out there. Yeah, with all that chaos I believe only 30 or so homes were lost in Yorba Linda. If you had my view you'd be suprised that any homes in Y.L. are still around. Anaheim Hills sits on the adjacent side of the canyon to yorba linda. I would go look out the front yard across the canyon and all you could see was flames moving fast engulfing all the hillsides within minutes. I had front row seats across the canyon with my binoculars to watch. Obviously not as close though as a couple of my friends.
