Suddenly burning flames shoot up and the smoke rises into the air – fire. You run out of the house and see your neighbors with their pets and children jumping into the ocean.
“Was there enough warning? I don’t think so,” said Rosenthal, a victim of the fire (Los Angeles Times).
Rosenthal’s childhood friend along with her friend’s child and parents died in a car while driving.
Rosenthal was forced to jump into the water as there was nowhere to drive to. Similarly, an unidentified woman said that she convinced herself to jump into the water although her neighbors said that excavation was not needed.
She said lots of people were swimming to safety trying to avoid dangerous spots.
22-year-old M.J. Dellacruz, who works at a restaurant, saw the fires when she was taking a break and going outside for some fresh air. To her horror, her neighborhood was in flames.
Firefighters worked to extinguish the wildfire. Individuals have sought refuge in churches and community centers. The effects of this deadly fire will be present for a long time.
