American Catastrophe: LA Burning -- Special Edition of 20/20
The winds that we saw were 70, 80 miles an hour along the Pacific Coast Highway. And that was what the environment the firefighters were dealing with. There was embers just flying across laterally. Very difficult to even do anything as far as perimeter control. They were putting the edges of the fire out. It was mainly going house to house and protecting as many homes as you could.

And the priority was to work for the life safety to try to get people out of the fire.

What do you think? It's tough, but, you know, we've bolstered our assets. We've actually had not only some of the regional resources from Southern California, but we've got resources from Northern California. We've got resources from Nevada, Colorado on the way. So we've got resources coming in to back us up on this. With these winds returning? Correct.
