The wildfires remain unpredictable and for two of them there has been “zero containment,” which makes it hard for local residents “to stay optimistic,” Los Angeles resident Vince Vicari says.

Obviously, a lot of words are being used, a lot of cliches are being used to describe
00:04
what we're seeing on our screens, and I mean, it really does look, and I'm not the first
00:08
person to say this, but it looks apocalyptic, other people saying it sounds like something
00:12
out of a film.
00:13
I mean, what's your way of describing what you've seen these last 24, 48 hours?
00:19
What I'm seeing is grim.
00:23
It's hard to stay optimistic with, you see all these smoke and fires around you.
00:28
Even if folks aren't in ground zero at these fires, it is affecting the entire L.A. County
00:33
region.
00:34
It's grim, it's unpredictable, it's chaotic, and there's an uncertainty about what the
00:41
winds will do next and how these fires will get under control and when, because as of
00:45
right now, a whole day later, there's still zero containment for these fires, and they
00:51
burned collectively over 30,000 acres.
00:54
So the unpredictability is one of the biggest things coming to my mind, which is why I didn't
00:59
want to wait until they said it's an evacuation order.
01:02
I said, I'm getting out of here.
01:04
My stuff is packed.
01:05
I don't want to wait until however many hundreds of thousands of other people are trying to
01:09
also leave the county at the same time.
01:11
I want to get out now before it's too late and I get stuck in anything and regret not
01:16
leaving sooner.
