KFI a.m. 640. You're listening to the John Cobalt podcast on the Iheart Radio app.

We're on the air from one until four and then after four o'clock John Cobalt show on demand on the IHeart app.

And we are covering the Pacific Palisades fire. It started as a brush fire and has exploded into an absolute inferno.

The entire town of Pacific Palisades has been ordered, evacuated.

And if people can't get out, they tell you to stay in your home.

A lot of people can't get out because a fire started in a neighborhood known as Pacific Highlands, which is north of the

downtown Pacific Palisades. And there's only one main road, two lanes in each direction,

a bouvard-style road. And it's been so jammed with cars. They opened all lanes to southbound traffic, but there are palm trees that were burning

along the boulevard.

And some people panicked, and they should panic because the trees were on fire and people

were afraid that the burning trees were going to be falling on their cars.

The smoke is so thick, the air is unbreathable.

And so I was looking at one L.A. Times story about a woman, she left, her name is Darrell Goldsmith.

And her husband stayed behind to help with a disabled neighbor.

And they have not yet reunited.

She was at her home.

She saw the fire quickly exploded.

She rushed to evacuate.

Her husband tried to help the disabled neighbor.

Firefighters started directing

traffic. Goldsmith ditched her car in the grass and walked down to the beach. And as she's

waiting at sunset beach, her husband still stuck up the hill. And there's a lot of stories like that.
