"It's like Armageddon," Canyon Bakery owner Patrice Winter said. "That's all I can say. What they're showing on the news is really real; they're not sensationalizing any of this. It's what I saw with my own eyes. It rocks your world."
As Winter began to evacuate, she saw the fire's plumes change hues: from black to white to yellow to red, "the whole rainbow of smoke," she said. "I mean, the sound of the wind is like you're in a haunted house."
On Tuesday afternoon, Winter said a ranger had told her that 'there is no hope' to save the canyon; multiple restaurateurs and other business owners were hoping for air support to combat fires in the mountain community.
Winter wanted to bake for first responders and those displaced by the fires, and she managed to bake loaves of bread and pizza, dropping them off at a community center before leaving Topanga Canyon.
