I was horribly curious. I used to live in Chatsworth, and I knew it pretty well. I had to see the fire. I just had to. And in seeing it, of course, I had to bring back pictures and video to share.
Some people would say that I shouldn't have gone there, that I was visiting a spectacle off people's ruined lives. In my defense, I would not have un-ruined one life or saved one house or tree from burning if I had not been there.
I gave all emergency vehicles a wide berth and didn't even get vaguely close to the action. But I still saw the terrifying grandeur of the fire, and it is this that I can share with you in my video.
If your house was damaged or destroyed, I feel bad for you. I considered moving to Box Canyon; if things had gone just a little differently, it might have been my house destroyed.
