Multiple wildfires are raging across California, prompting evacuations and leaving a trail of destruction. Residents share their fears and stories as they prepare for the worst.
As wildfires continue to burn in California, thousands are evacuating and those living in nearby towns and cities are on standby, waiting to get out. 'We always have fire season and all that but never has it been like this,' said one resident. 'Four fires all around us and that's probably not the end of the fires, there could be more starting up,' Steinberg said. Steinberg lives in Granada Hills in the northern part of Los Angeles.
He showed us the view from his backyard, pointing out the Hurst Fire, which is burning well over 500 acres. 'I see helicopters now spinning around because there's a lake, a reservoir. They're probably trying to get water,' Steinberg said. Since Tuesday night, Steinberg says he's been preparing to evacuate after being placed under a warning. 'Got some clothes and stuff in the car, got it all ready to go. Just waiting to see if I actually need to take off or not.'Hopefully I won't have to be going but I'm still ready just in case,' Steinberg said. But shortly before we spoke, he told us he did get some devastating news. His cousin lost her home in the Eaton Fire. So many homes are being destroyed. So many poor families are being left homeless. My cousin lives in Altadena and her home was destroyed,' said Steinberg
