Sounds like there IS a price for private firefighters... $2k per hour!

Company Covered 6, who offer fire protection services and safety training to the Hollywood elite, revealed that they had been inundated with calls.

Owner Chris Dunn told the Mail on Sunday: "My phone has been ringing off the hook. Demand has never been higher."

One wealthy source said: "This week’s events have shown you can’t trust the city to protect your property.

However, some have argued that if the city cannot be trusted to protect people, then celebs have every right to seek private support.

The source added: "I have the money, so why not?"

It's all Newscum's fault for not signing the water restoration declaration!

The news is showing dozens, between 100-200 cars all left abandoned by people, who opted to run from the fire as there was a max traffic jam with flames all over.

With that...

When fire-fighters and response teams arrived, the streets/roads were blocked with all of the abandoned cars... so what to do?

They took bull-dozers, and literally bull-dozed everyone's cars out of the way... plowed right through shoving all of these cars off the roads!

There are roads that look like parking lots, with cars all smashed into each other, almost like a freeway pile-up!

Lots of very expensive vehicles too... this is only going to get worse as the winds are supposed to peak, in the next few days.

Damn... the insurance claims are going to be nuts!

This video is from today of the Los Angeles Pacific Palisades Fire

LA resident shows you the direction its burning, "If this fire gets any further east right now, it's gonna blow past the 405, it's gonna hit The Getty Center, Hollywood, Griffith Park, that's downtown LA right there. And LA will be done."

If this happens, MAGAtards will be creaming their pants in celebration. I'm already seeing social media posts from religious right fundie MAGAtards claiming the fires are "God's judgment" after Nikki Glaser supposedly "mocked God" during her stint as host of the Golden Globes two nights prior:

https://x.com/i/status/1878095146018849079

Like you right now, creaming yourself over your bigoted and outrageous hypothetical.

Got to love leftards, even when their party is clearly at fault or to blame they respond with MAGA criticism..

My earlier post about Disneyland was a joke.

This is clearly a horrendous situation for everyone involved. All the love in the world to those who are trying to survive this nightmare.

What an epic clusterfuck.

[Ryan81]

I was watching a Mel Gibson interview on Fox and he said that his son is a firefighter and that they caught a "well equipped" guy who was starting fires, but the police let him go. Or something like that? At 4:45 they talk about it. It gets brought up again later, but not sure when.

https://youtu.be/8tEpCj_yvxU?si=fInR5NgBQP-Iposm

Mel also lost his house. Which reminds me of one of his best quotes "I don't care if the goddamn house is on fire, but blow me first, before the fucking jacuzzi!"

Not that this situation is funny. Nor do I think that the wealthy somehow deserve this. Anybody who thinks that is a fucking asshole. A lot of those rich people worked really hard or took big chances to get what they have. Some didn't, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve sympathy.

Any word on Axl's house?

Also, it's terrible how many animals are being killed in this. Being trapped and then burned alive is a bad way to spend your final hours.

Fuck off. I’ve seen California and Hollywood referred to as “Commiefornia” and “Hellywood” by MAGA fools like you many times over the past eight years or more since Trumpy first took office, so I know I’m not exactly wrong. I’m from small town Bible Belt GA where countless religious nuts are threatening libs and “wokies” with “God’s judgment”, so don’t think for one second that it isn’t happening. I may not be perfect, but compared to the MAGA cult, I’m practically a friggin’ saint.

From Lance at Permanent Records, they are hella cool and I support them 1000%

"Hi everyone,
We hope this message finds you well. We're coming to you amidst the most devastating natural disaster we've ever experienced in our 18+ years of business. As most of you already know, the Los Angeles Wildfires started last Tuesday evening and they continue to rage on. There doesn't seem to be an end in sight.

Thank you to all of you that have messaged us with a welfare check. So far, the Permanent Records' Roadhouse (and most of our staff) has been spared from the fires, but we're not out of the woods yet, so please send positive vibes our way and keep us in your thoughts. We've been housing some folks that have been displaced from their home by the fire and we will be hosting many mutual aid / benefit events as soon as the time is right.

Unfortunately, some of our co-workers and many of our friends have not been so lucky. Thousands of our fellow Angelenos have lost their homes and all of their belongings. Our hearts go out to them and we're doing everything we can to help them in the best way we know how, by keeping the Roadhouse afloat and generating proceeds for charitable donations.

We are currently donating 25% of all of our in-store and online sales to a wonderful charity called Musicares.
This organization "provides a safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of need... treating each case with integrity and confidentiality." Musicians and other people in the industry are the lifeblood of Permanent Records, so Musicares seeme like the obvious charity to partner with for our drive"

You can donate any amount directly to Musicares by tapping below

Also, if you're a musician or a person that works in the industry professionally, you can tap below for assistance.

"""""""""""""Where are you in relation to the fires?"""""""""""""""


I am in Chatsworth, near Topanga Canyon and the 118 Freeway.

The FAR opposite end, of Topanga where a lot of this was taking place last week.

From my place to PCH (Pacific Coast Highway / Malibu) is about 20-25 miles straight down Topanga.

The West Hills/Woodland Hills fires were less than 10 miles from me... my main concern is if the ridge of the hills/mountains near the 118 (Porter Ranch/Valencia) catches on fire... I am like 2-3 minutes from Porter Ranch... and luckily, that area has not caught fire. But... it does, at least a few times a year.

Fingers crossed... I have a feeling the next 2-3 days is going to be bad again... and it's a safe bet, some fire-bug will try to set fires, or some morons in a homeless encampment will cause a problem. They are often the culprit, trying to cook on an open flame in some bushes!

My brother’s house in Pacific Palisades is gone. He has insurance but guesses it will be a good 3 years before the home rebuilt. In the meantime, what to do.

Can he afford to continuing paying the mortgage and a rent a place too? Not sure about that. The rents in Southern Cal. already high are sure to skyrocket.

He could probably clear 1M after selling the land and collect a 300k check from their insurance company. However, he doesn’t want to get lowballed for the land given the sharks will be out.

Brother and wife dropped 40k last year on a 10-day trip to Africa so they must have money. Yet, not too sure. Found out my brother hasn’t worked in the past several months and wife is trying her luck as "life coach."

Wife inherited 2.5M a couple of years back so they were living the good live. But the wife gave 500k to father and spent another 100k on daughters’ college tuition. (Two kids are adults and have moved away.)

Now, I own rental property here in the Phx metro (Chandler, Gilbert and E. Mesa) which I realize isn’t Pacific Palisades, Malibu, ect but the locations are residential, quiet and safe. Brother is no problem.

Unfortunately, I can see the wife bitching she doesn't like this and doesn't like that. Personally, I don't need the drama at my age (67) so I'm telling them none of the lease agreements will end until Nov.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Right now, brother and wife are in SF renting a motel room on Lombard Street. (Son lives in SF.)

They were staying with wife’s father but his second wife hates my brother’s wife so they left yesterday.

Headed out for a cup of coffee in LA

[tym]

So many lost everything, and had no insurance, or insurance canceled, and no way can insurance company cover this kind of loss, and I think getting fire insurance in California, will be impossible.

The Government will send billions of dollars to the state, the rich will leave or simply rebuild, and the poor, they will never recover from the loss. Its gonna be a huge disaster. They always said it would be earth quakes that got LA. Now its just wait and see how bad it is after the fire finally dies.

You can be sure many are trying to figure out how to make the most money off so many suffering and loosing everything. People suck.

Over 10,000 buildings now destroyed. Most of which are worth millions of dollars.

There is no way insurance companies have the money to cover all of this. What happens when they can't pay out?

Of course, if this fire ends up being started by an arsonist or some other non "act of God", they won't have to pay out for anything.

Then what do the people do?

If you have insurance you will get paid out. However, insurance in the LA area will now become super expensive, or policies will just be cancelled and you'll be unable to find insurance for your home. Not good. We had the same thing happen up here in the Vancouver area, out in the Fraser River valley where there was just too much flooding and people can no longer get flood insurance along the flood plain.

I read somewhere that if the fire ends up being from arson, insurance companies have outs for paying out for that type of claim.

Insuranceopedia Explains Arson
https://www.insuranceopedia.com/definition/816/arson

When fire damages an insured property, the insurance company has to investigate whether it was intentional or accidental, as coverage always excludes intentional and criminal acts intended to produce fraudulent claims. Sometimes, an individual or business owner may decide to set their property on fire, especially if the remaining mortgage exceeds the property value. In this way, they can use the payout to pay off their debts or fund other pressing financial needs.

In insurance, damage or loss due to arson is often not covered by property insurance, even if the wrongdoer is a third party. This is because it might be exploited by policyholders themselves just to get money from insurance companies.

However, two man-made risks, malicious mischief and vandalism, are covered risks in certain policies. The property owner may claim before the court that arson (caused by a third party) is an act of vandalism and malicious mischief.

I dunno anything about it, but I would assume arson of a single building should be viewed differently than if an arsonist started something that spread to 1000 buildings. At some point its a wildfire, however it started.
