"We came back to save a bit of art. And I just noticed across the street, bit of smoke coming out from there. Obviously, the house across the street just unfortunately burned down and four houses down. So it’s been a definitely rough ride for the community over the past few days."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Dylan Vincent, Pacific Palisades resident:
"I was dropping my friends off at the airport yesterday and I saw the smoke start here and saw it start down in Pasadena, like by Altadena. And it’s just an insane scenario right now. Like, I can’t believe that, this is just happening and it’s completely out of control."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Dylan Vincent, Pacific Palisades resident:
"I think we will have one of the most tight-knit communities in the country. And I love everyone here. I know everyone here. And I’m just happy to see the community rallying together. It’s going to take a lot of effort and a lot of time. But I really trust in my home to come back together and rebuild."

STORYLINE:
Massive wildfires roaring through the Los Angeles area left neighborhoods in ruins, killed at least two people and threatened landmarks made famous by Hollywood.
Desperate residents escaped through flames, hurricane-force winds and towering columns of smoke.
Three major blazes that erupted just a day earlier blanketed the city with a dangerous, thick cloud of smoke and ash and destroyed homes across the metropolitan area, from the Pacific Coast inland to Pasadena, home of the famed Rose Parade.
One of the fires was the most destructive in the modern history of the city of LA.
Damage was widespread throughout Palisades Village, the area’s center of commerce. The public library, two major grocery stores, two large banks and several boutiques were demolished, while other specialty shops were spared.
A few blocks away, Dylan Vincent’s home was untouched by flames while several of his neighbors’ properties were flattened and still smoldering Wednesday.
Vincent, 22, returned to the neighborhood where he’s lived most of his life to retrieve some items before evacuating again.
"It is going to take a large adjustment, and then a large amount of effort to come back and rebuild," Vincent said. "But I think we got this, as the Palisades.
In nearby neighborhoods, the destruction was complete, with entire blocks leveled.
