About last night.... Rant alert.... In all of my years I have never seen so many ‘photographers’ at an incident. There were conservatively 30 vehicles, probably close to twice that many ppl with cameras. @DaveMillsPhoto @LACoFDPIO
It was so much that firefighting operations were affected and resulted in a life safety issue. The Safety Officer, understandably so, shut the entire area down to media and photographers. It was a very fluid situation, action needed to be taken and was.
While that was a very frustrating situation for myself and other @lacofd photographers, I understand. This is an issue that is only getting worse and needs some real discussion. A FB page and a camera does not mean you are a photojournalist or media.

A fast-moving wildfire is burning outside Castaic (northern edge of LA County). The #LakeFire has consumed over 10,000 acres, is 0% contained, and exhibiting "explosive fire behavior" due to a classic CA combo of parched canyons, low humidity, and dry fuel: @Angeles_NF
Nearly 500 homes are under evacuation orders—but many might not have a place to go. Red Cross, which normally sets up shelters, can't "because of COVID protocols," officials said
People are being told to sleep in their cars at nearby high schools and animal shelters. Unreal

.@RedCrossLA says that they've set up a temporary evacuation point but asking people to stay in their cars. If the #LakeFire continues to threaten homes, they will make sure evacuees have a place to stay overnight w/ covid safety protocols. More info: redcross.org/local/californ…
Just spoke to a man who lives up the street from this road block. He says when he left his home there was a wall of flames coming toward it. He thinks his house is gone.
