A harrowing video from the Pacific Palisades wildfire in Los Angeles shows two men and a dog trapped inside a home, surrounded by raging flames. The footage, shared on social media, captures the terrifying scene as one of the men films the inferno whipping around outside the glass doors while coughing from smoke inhalation. He tries to reassure his dog and the other man, who appears in the kitchen, saying everything will be fine.
Despite water from firefighters briefly dousing the flames, the fire continues to rage, showing the intensity of the blaze. The men take precautions, including turning off the gas, before the recording ends abruptly. Thousands of acres have burned across multiple areas, including Eaton Canyon and Pasadena, forcing over 49,000 evacuations.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency, citing high winds and dry conditions fueling the wildfires. While the destruction has been significant, there are no reported deaths so far.
This terrifying incident highlights the challenges and dangers residents face as firefighters battle to contain the widespread devastation.
