Sorrow 😢😢😢😢😢❤
None of this makes sense 😕 Something is fishy about all of this. Just like the fires in Hawaii. Investigate!!
In LA, they're burning the cats?
They're burning the dogs?
Pets are burning! 😮😮😮
If you live in a Dem state like CA or Hi don't expect the Dem government to do anything practical. You'll have to wait for the wind to change.
60 Minutes you're pathetic. I haven't Watched you in 9 years for this very reason. You lie. Disrespecting these poor people is unforgivable. THIS CATASTROPHIC NIGHTMARE WAS PREVENTABLE!!!! You're as evil as the Monsters who made this intentionally happen. 😢
Respect to the firefighters!
🙏🏽🤎🙏🏽🤎🙏🏽
Prayers for LA from Lahaina
WE WON! 💯💯❤❤❤❤❤❤😁😁FROM SO CALIF. PRAISE GOD!❤❤WE WON!!!!!!! MSM!/DEMOCRAT LOOSERS GET OUT OF CALIF. NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💯💯😁😁
In 2020 our gov found out a plan/documents from one of our 2 decade old enemies saying an attack on the US would be easier through fire than any other way you can think of.. Also Newsom already talking about a new modern city.. Literally 1619 project..
THANK YOU for showing everyone the truth about these fires…Overwhelmed by the drought and the winds. The terrible things being said are so hurtful people may not understand the topography of California, it’s a natural disaster the same as hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards floods etc Definitely the Devil winds. The fire in my city in 2017 took out over 5000 structures, it’s still coming back
The power of a fire is determined by wind force. We can only control a fire with less wind blowing, but force of the wind at very high knots is uncontrollable even though we pour thousand liters of water, it's still too late because the wind is much faster than water and work very quick with fire.
I cant and wont ever watch fake news(cnn, msnbc, abc, cbs, nbc, ap, more) again after lying to us the last 10 years.
In 1983 my grandfather told me that im my time we are going to witness Sacred Mother Earth is going to prematurely begin her renewal healing cleansing process because of man's disrespect and abuse of Sacred Mother Earth that man is selfdestructing that all life is endangered! His Message and Warning that We Must Protect what little ecosystems we have left if we fail the Dessators Will Continue to Magnify and Quantify to the point of Apocalyptic Cataclysmic Disasters! My grandfather passed away in 1990! From the first Nation's of the Artic! If the World Leaders would take immediate action NOW They may minimize the Dessators to some degree at least! Protect Sacred Mother Earth 🌎🌍🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️ Prayers for the Whole World 🌎🌍🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
God bless the souls of the fire victims. So tragic and pitiful.
if only they listened to scientists and smart people. Had many decades to build desalination plants all around Cali to pump water into brush and trees near cities to rot the vegetation instead of dry fuel for fire. Would have cost billions, now the destruction will cost maybe hundreds of billions.
I am wondering where these interviewers getting video coverage of the house before the fire to add to the video? You must keep the strength and keep going. You have something to look forward too. Why can't these same planes drop water on the land when it is dry to prevent the fires? I hope they will next year.
My thoughts with LA smh 🤦
If this is on earth and hell is millions and millions of times worse yet many of you sold your soul and lives to the devil (a devil who hates your gut) I hope you take the warning and repent
Liberal news reporting. I was a California resident I’d be mad as hell. Newsum a poor manager at best. Vote in Liberal law makers… they’re gonna spend on things you don’t need. Police protection, fire protection …. No, let’s defund them.
I really hope you can help people rebuild their homes and the hope of a good life there, it's always been Hollywood and the entertainment industry nothing else could take its place where one would except anything but that. I'm sorry that nobody thought about preparing for a fire in the neighborhoods, but they said ocean water could be used in special hoses and in tanks and equipment just not from fire trucks because of the salt, but while it took homes and schools and structures they will now regret not preparing for the only thing that had a worldly value of sentiment out there, the movies, films, and history of it all the music!!!! Please take my condolences and rebuild and make it safe, sorry to everyone! I have friends and family that have lived out there and I'm super mad about this, no excuse from the government or locals there's fires yearly and more than 5 of them, there's a lot that they should have prepared for due to just saying that much!!!! Goodby to the government big taxpayers for now, until one day life will live upon the land again in neighborhoods that will be safer!!! face-red-heart-shapeface-purple-cryingface-red-heart-shapeface-red-droopy-eyesbody-green-covering-eyesface-blue-droopy-eyesface-blue-three-eyesface-blue-heart-eyesface-blue-star-eyes

Hope they build it cement next time
Remember to vote blue 💙
Thank you to the Firefighters that really put lots of efforts into putting out the fires. I know they worked over and beyond what anyone would expect. I know it wasn't their fault!!! This could be a movie documentary of how that fire did happen and what events took place with firefighters not having enough help or water against the winds! Its affected so many people's lives, it's everyone's Hollywood dreams their cities, counties and the people's homes and lives!
🙏❤️
PREVENTION WOULD BE CREATING AN ECOLOGICAL ATMOSPHERE THAT DRAWS DEW INLAND. BLAME IS NON PREVENTION.
Fighting fire, what a traumatic experience.

Incompetence. Bass needs to be fired in a month
Should have looked at Nor Cal for the last 10 years and prepared more.
What worth noticing that the fire began on 7 of January in mainly democrats states, only one day after the congress in what is very temporarily called the united of america accepted the presidential election results in a precedent that is the first in the political history of the settlers in what is very temporarily called the united states of america…
what can we remember or recall in similar event???, the reichstag fire in nasty germany on 27 of february 1933, only 4 week after the nasty hitler sworn as chancellor in nasty germany, which led to the nazis accusing the communist party in nasty germany of being behind the event (who now represent the so-called leftists in the femocratic party) to justify banning the communist party and prosecuting its members and affiliates, while this fire comes after a wave of green attacks by electric cars that shocked everyone in what is very temporarily called the united of america those green cars attacks happened after the democrats lost the election, and happened after the ending of controversial elections marred by many internal disputes and polarizations,
the newly elected president donald trump is exploiting the Opportunity and starts his campaign of attacking the incompetent officials in the state starting with the governor, which all happen to be democrats,
I think there will be a purging campaign targeting the democrats in the bureaucratic apparatus of the federal government and local governments in what is very temporarily called the united states of america under the title of incompetency and maybe even the corruptions, although for trump with his history, the latter is considered a huge risk….
God bless you all!
full reservoir would've helped. but winds ruled over that a lil'.
Chicken sheds from cardboard for $10M. Building control should be proud.
Now Brazzers and Hustler have nowhere to film.
Main Story: Voters elect woke politicians who divert the taxes they paid to social programs or to help illegal immigrants. Said illegals come in burn their communities to ash. Voters basically paid their woke politicians for the privilege of destroying their lives. LMFAO. Vote woke and your life will go up in smoke.
This is nothing in comparison to what US helped unleash on Gaza!
this fire was prophecized by pastor on 2022, the pastor was persecuted by LA government for standing up against abortion bill, their church was raided and destroyed he was charged with false accusations, and then he was sent this vision ,i remembered what that pastor has said 'touch not my annointed son" and then he says the Father shown him a vision that america will be on fire and this fire will not be like any other ordinary fire
As a subscriber to Paramount Plus… it's funny that it's not available and I can just watch it here for free now. What a joke and yes, I love watching 60 Minutes except for when they gave Harris a big pass on her interview answers.
We all know the bark beetles have killed hundreds of thousands of trees. And no forest cleanup of dead trees?
That's a crime. What happened to the California Conservation Corps?
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Arson, massive arson tonight, all over California. In the middle of the freezing cold night, why are people starting these fires?
Trump forewarned Ga-villain Newcrumb back in 2019 & it fell on IGNORANT deaf democrat ears.🙉 even today lib media continues to protect them, record rainfall & floods in 2023. So what do they do cut the firefighters budget by millions,, can't fix stupid!
This program is an evidential documentary indictment against both the Governor of Hawaii, and the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom. A bitter indictment. Trump's advice to clearcut California forests and forestry management, and keeping brush at low levels, and proper water management, making sure all reservoirs are filled and maintained, and that hydramts and plumbing systems are regularly inspected and serviced, at least once a month. Also fleets of firefighting vehicles and aircraft must be properly serviced and maintained to be activated at a moment's notice. Newsom, as far as our independent investigation can tell, has done little or nothing along these lines, and the fire management persons in southern California were more concerned with hiring "equality and diversity" and not about the basics of firefighting. No order, just chaos,

Whatever started the fire, might not be as important as you might think.
What is more important, is what happend after it started…
And why…
