Tanner Charles and his friend were at home trying to make his house as fireproof as possible when the Palisades Fire began to approach. They filmed the moment they were forced to leave, running down a street with multiple houses on fire.
The Palisades fire, one of several burning in Los Angeles, exploded late Tuesday as high winds lashed northwest Los Angeles. It already has at least 1,000 buildings and has forced more than 30,000 residents to evacuate.
President Joe Biden on Wednesday approved a major disaster declaration for California, which will give residents immediate access to funds and resources for their recovery.
