The men and the dog are reportedly safe and were able to escape the home.
I am told the dog and both his humans were able to safely evacuate the property.

If you go back and watch the video it appears water or a flame retardant material is raining down from the roof. Some commenters explain.
Water suppression system…kept the fire at bay until it passed on.

Zero survival instinct. Grab a water hose and spray around the house, wherever you can instead of recording video of your own death.

Can you not see the water pouring down from the roof from the fire prevention system? Not gonna help you breathe or keep you from being cooked

Is that what it is. They’re ok then. Good planning.

How does a fire just randomly start like that? Is it from embers? Altadena is far

It’s unknown how this one started. It could be from electrical wires. The winds are hitting up to 80 mph and the embers are being carried for long distances, though this fire is too far from the Palisade fire which on the coast. The other issues is that criminal activity is also…

Some eyewitnesses say looters are braving the flames to steal from area homes during the chaos. No cause for the fires has been determined. Local authorities are still busy battling the flames while helping evacuate areas in the fire’s path.
