"The bright red flames and glow of the fire were all around the ridgeline as we were leaving." Jones, familiar with wildfires, felt unprepared this time.
"I wish we had grabbed more stuff or been better prepared this time around," she said. "I guess you could say we were a bit complacent."
"You always hear about wildfires and the Santa Ana winds around Malibu, but you never really give it much thought until a fire is marching down the hillsides," Ryder reflected.
Ryder shared that seeing the fire approach was a sobering reminder of the reality of living in a wildfire-prone area, having lived in Malibu for about two years.
