Los Angeles, California: One of the most famous locations in Los Angeles is in danger after a fast-moving fire started in the Hollywood Hills on Tuesday night. At least five people were killed and hundreds of homes were destroyed as the fierce fire raged over the Los Angeles area.
Communities from the Pacific Coast to interior Pasadena were burned, 130,000 people were placed under evacuation orders, and firefighters fought to contain three additional large fires that claimed the lives of those five people.
Celebrities, many of whom have lived in the region for decades, were among those uprooted. Some have verified that their homes had been destroyed, including Heidi Montag, Anna Faris, Ricki Lake, Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, Cary Elwes, Cameron Mathison, and Spencer Pratt.
Flames moved so quickly that many barely had time to escape. Police sought shelter inside their patrol cars, and residents at a senior living center were pushed in wheelchairs and hospital beds down a street to safety.
It was noted the vehicles had been left without their keys and blocking an escape route, preventing fire crews from accessing the area. So to clear the way a bulldozer was used to clear nearly 200 abandoned cars, making way for firefighters battling the Palisades wildfire in California.
Social media has been flooded with videos capturing the fire’s rage. Harsh footage shows flames consuming entire neighborhoods and forcing mass evacuations.
So, seeing this, the famous Georgian Business and Success Coach, Associate Professor George Mikanadze also posted a video of the bulldozers clearing the way, on his official Facebook page on January 8, 2025. He noted that the video is very strange and dramatic.
He also wrote about the fire in LA, California. He said that the fire was unpredicted and was very intense. The bulldozers are clearing the way for the police, and the cars that are abandoned there are becoming a blockage for urgent operational measures.
The reports concluded that the fire was caused by a combination of drought-like conditions in Southern California, which has had less than 10% of average rainfall since October.
