The wildfires remain unpredictable and for two of them there has been “zero containment,” which makes it hard for local residents “to stay optimistic,” Los Angeles resident Vince Vicari says.

00:00Obviously, a lot of words are being used, a lot of cliches are being used to describe
00:04what we're seeing on our screens, and I mean, it really does look, and I'm not the first
00:08person to say this, but it looks apocalyptic, other people saying it sounds like something
00:12out of a film.
00:13I mean, what's your way of describing what you've seen these last 24, 48 hours?
00:19What I'm seeing is grim.
00:23It's hard to stay optimistic with, you see all these smoke and fires around you.
00:28Even if folks aren't in ground zero at these fires, it is affecting the entire L.A. County
00:33region.
00:34It's grim, it's unpredictable, it's chaotic, and there's an uncertainty about what the
00:41winds will do next and how these fires will get under control and when, because as of
00:45right now, a whole day later, there's still zero containment for these fires, and they
00:51burned collectively over 30,000 acres.
00:54So the unpredictability is one of the biggest things coming to my mind, which is why I didn't
00:59want to wait until they said it's an evacuation order.
01:02I said, I'm getting out of here.
01:04My stuff is packed.
01:05I don't want to wait until however many hundreds of thousands of other people are trying to
01:09also leave the county at the same time.
01:11I want to get out now before it's too late and I get stuck in anything and regret not
01:16leaving sooner.
