In the community of Altadena, Schwartz saw what he described as absolute destruction. It was winds that were blowing so strong that the embers were flying sideways, we would lose visibility, the smoke was just choking.
The howl of the winds, the howl of the flames. And then that fire, as it came down the mountain, was a little bit more selective. It felt like fingers that clawed down the land.
The horse had nowhere to go. It was very clear that it had already been singed. Schwartz and his producer attempted to rescue the horse amidst the devastation.
Mora told Schwartz he was a horse guy; he owned horses. The journalist led the firefighter over a couple of fences to the horse's location. Mora called in backup.
