God please let it rain 🙏 🪽🩵🐶amen ( thank you for caring
Lots of smoke in Lancaster.
Santa Clarita is totally smokey and orange
HELP THE DUN IS SO ORNAGE FROM THE SMOKE
even more in scv
Smoke alone the north end of the San Fernando valley too
It's made our air horrible out here in Las Vegas. So much for CA being such an ECO Friendly state. Every year this happens in CA- rise and repeat basically.
Melted cars are not a sign of normal fires. We've seen there before, recently. Just saying.
Me and my mom passed gorman hours before the fire started yesterday, hopefully everyone is ok 🙏
Me, my mom, and my uncle will be passing by Gorman on June 26 heading up to Orange County. Hopefully the fire doesn't get too bad.
The fish that are inadvertently scooped up / sucked up by the fire planes / helicopters at nearby lake and then dropped on the fire are then instantly ready to be sold at that McDonald's as fresh caught fish filet sandwiches ! !
Smoke is quickly invading the skies in Santa Clarita @ Via Princessa and The 14 FWY
Yes
The sun is orange
hungery valley is behind those hills......many people there for offroad
Yes. We watched the video as well
Must be stopped ASAP!
I saw a few of fire engines parked possibly doing nothing
Smell of fire getting very strong in pearblossom
Homeless are just having a barbecue 🍗
Expect more of these to come in months. As great as the rain had been the past 2 years, the leftover brush and runoff has left a lot of fuel for possible fires.
There’s a lot of smoke in Ana Verde Hills.
Fires ALWAYS START WITH the fire triangle, Heat, oxygen, spark…
Reporter wearing her bright and clean PPEs, CHP PIO wearing a polo shirt. lol.
Yeah it was that unexpected spuratic 🩵🙏
Oh no....now to blame so called climate change....
Oh yeah 😅 for sure. Just wait and see the crying activist.
Officer DC Williams doesn’t know how the fires started. He’s never heard of DEW
every time its high winds...arson terror
You can smell the smoke in Palmdale yesterday evening 😮
rosamond - av, heavy ashfall. need respirator to breath outside
Santa Clarita too..orange and smokey..breezy
And the fire began again not good. God take care of us all.
Is Santa Clarita safe? I live there but I’ve been with my sister since Thursday. I’m still not home yet til Sunday Father’s Day
I think son, the air quality is bad they say in Santa Clarita
That McDonalds was completely torched when driving to Bakersfield around 630pm it was on fire when driving back to the OC it was gone.
Fire in California?? Shocker...
Sadly it’s a regular thing as it’s already summer, only applies to canyons or mountains
It rained Ash on my wedding😂
I just got home from working in Bakersfield the flames are visible from the 5 south some crazy drivers were pulling over in the darkness to look at the fire. I am so glad I drove through this area before they closed the 5 in both directions.
That time of year again… every year California…
Wait. I thought the wind was our friend?
smoking outside during dry season should not be permitted … and some people discard cigarettes out windows when driving freeways 🫤
If only you watched the video for 1:10 seconds you’d hear how the fire started…
@@Nocksmothif YOU watched the video you would hear them say they DON’T know how it started, although it started behind a McDonald’s. The assumption that someone was smoking a cigarette and tossed their butt without fully extinguishing it is very reasonable
@@Nocksmoththey clearly said they don’t know
@@Wxy627 I’m glad you went to that time on the video so we can agree we don’t know 😎 saved many others time commenting back.
@@nala3038 I’m happy you went to that spot and we can agree 😎
When I lived there this happened every single year…
Where did you live? When
Prayers hugs ❤️ 🙏 ❤️🙏❤️
How did it even start????
We need common sense anti assault fire laws
😂
Until then, all we have are our thoughts and prayers.
Laws dont work unless pole choose to obey them.
We need the government to stop attacking us.
What’s anti assault fire 🔥 laws ?
There is no reason for buildings to burn in Gorman. It's a small town. It's a rest stop for those traveling on the 5.
Explain to me how the fire department was unable to stop any brush fire from hiting those buildings!
I am really starting to question the motives of city officials and the fire departments.
Look I respect firefighters they do put their life on the line.
However there is no reason to stand there while things burn. There is no excuse as to why they don't have enough people to fight fires.
I question if it's the city officials trying to get money from the federal government and in the process get a whole new town built based off the insurance companies. It's not all that unheard of.
Greed in this country is rampant.
Fireman have been told to stand down.
Airplane drops no longer happen at night when it's the best way to tackle a less blazing fire.
Gorman gets alot of snow. Those conditions cannot be that dry considering how they were packed in snow a few months ago.
Something is truly up with all these unexplained fires in lower income areas. They can save a millionaires mansion with acres of land but not a trailer park...or 100 trailer parks.
Private firefighters are going to destroy this industry.
Why get paid less to fight a wild fire when you can be on stand by to rescue your wealthy clients when they need you.
Glad you were there and you know exactly what happened LMAO
Gorman gets a lot of snow LMAO
Well that happens because that city is at high temperatures
Wow really you think it was like Maui set on purpose ( I believe everting your saying but there were a lot a forest rangers and firefighter there )!but Gorman school was miraculously saved idk q
Lots of smoke in all of av im pretty sure, and it stanked like realky bad
I love the car at 2:25. That seems normal. Have you ever tried to light a car on fire? I’ve had trouble getting a campfire lit on purpose! This is directed energy weapon technology. Make no mistake.
Seeing the smoke from Phelan. I was wondering where it was coming from.
Where’s phelan
We saw the start of it😢
Omg Gorman School unscaved incredible
It's haunted. Some kids fell down a well on the property years back, and their spirits hang around and move stuff.
@@MB-jg4tr oh it was a girl named Harriet , how did you know? It must be protected , And God bless all the firemen☀️🐣🙏😇🌺🩵🐶🪽 🔥 forest rangers fighting the fire also
@@Frankie-fv1wk I know a former teacher who worked there, told me all sorts of stories about the haunting.
@@MB-jg4tr yeah did you go to school there too?
@@Frankie-fv1wk no I didn't go to school there. Teacher said the swing would swing on its own when nobody was there, small rocking chair would rock on it's own, balls would bounce on their own, doors would constantly open and shut on their own, and all sorts of stuff. It was a long time ago and I don't remember everything, but they think it's mainly a little girl, and she's not scary or malicious at all, and she used to live there before the school was built. It's one of the strongest most persistent "hauntings" anyone has seen apparently.

Where is all this happening????? In China? Please give us a city or state.
Gorman, California.
46 miles out of Bakersfield Calif. Gorman is a stop off point, off 1-5 heading up Grapevine to L.A about 1 hour away heading South.
GAVIN NEWSOM DID IT.
😮
So, maybe if you listened, they said it started at a McDonald's
Newsom likes to grind on other men
@@Summer-KidThey actually said it is a brush fire that started somewhere on the hill behind the McDonalds
@@Summer-Kid first reports said it was a truck towing a horse trailer with the chains dragging and sparked the fire. That was preliminary of course.
California is burning in anger over local liberal democrat leaders and Gavin Newsom’s incompetence.
😱😱😱😱😱
Firefighters getting big OT CHECKS
Summer in California when arsonist come out to play.
The freeway isn't closed I just passed throw there big lie

This is a literal “smoke screen”. Get your eyes away from the corrupt government. Read a verse today. Proverbs 15:3 The eyes of the Lord are on everything, beholding the evil and the good.
yawn……
