Los Angeles is almost destroyed,” the professor said. “The Hollywood fire started on a hill and goes down and they are afraid of going down to where the Oscars are made, that is, completely within the city.

The professor described the dramatic situation of the city… “I have seen another fire. I lived in Palisades many years ago and there was such a fire, but I think the one I see now is the biggest I’ve ever seen in Los Angeles. It’s something terrible. They have been destroyed, there is nothing left standing and these are millions’ houses. So under five million houses there’s no place. There is nothing left standing.” CORVERSE According to what Fokion Egolfopoulos said, local media broadcast that the fire in Palisades began when someone in his yard lit a small fire and this small fire has burned down a thousand houses.
