00:16that caught everyone, and I mean everyone to include the first firefighters at the scene

00:20by surprise.

00:22The 50 to 60 mph winds whipped up monster tongues of flames that engulfed houses, property

00:28and anything that stood in its way, raising four football fields a minute during the apex

00:35of its spread, experts say.

00:37By midnight, some 4,000 acres, to include scores if not thousands of prime real property,

00:43had burned to the ground, and on the other side of LA County, there was the Altadena

00:50fire that began six hours after and put the community under extreme fire assault and apocalyptic

00:56conditions at the height of the fire spread.

00:59But this time, California firefighters, with more time to prep and invaluable help from

01:04Arizona, Texas, Mexican and even Canadian firefighters, are much better equipped to

01:10face this next wind-fueled fire episode, as weather experts and service agencies predict
