We are seeing fire videos and photos and hearing stories from people who have lost everything.. the fires have become the great equalizer between all classes and people.. But we are NOT talking yet about how these fires are starting .. we know why they are spreading so rapidly, 100+ Santa Ana winds and extremely dry conditions–but how are they starting. At least a video folks have started asking those questions, especially about the fire near Hollywood Hills..
There were at least 4 really amazingly deceptive videos being spread around social media last night showing the Hollywood sign burning. At least one from TikTok was so convincing that people just stopped fact checking.. Now if the Hollywood sign actually gets engulfed, we may not believe it..
There are also some conspiracy theories that there was advanced knowledge fires will happen.. This does not seem too conspiratorial to us. It seems to make sense in emergency management that officials were doing the right thing and attempting to be prepared for what they feared would have occurred.. The weather was predicted, everyone knew it was extremely dry, and fires happen when this occurs–now the real question that needs to be investigated is WHY the fires are starting. Especially that strange Hollywood hills fire that started out of no where.
