Catch Latest L.A. Fire Footage on YouTube

As fires continue to spread through the hills of Los Angeles and thousands are forced to evacuate the area, citizens are turning to YouTube to post footage of the blaze. For example, in this video, you can clearly see the flames over San Gabriel, while this one uses a time-lapse technique to show just how much smoke is being emitted into the air:



To support his footage, YouTube user cagwa writes in his video description: "Getting very hard to breathe already and it's going to be 104[F] today. The burning smell is extremely strong. Had to close all the windows at 7 a.m."

Other users are capturing the work of firefighters who are valiantly trying to put out the flames. This footage shows a Los Angeles Fire Department helicopter refilling in the Verdugo mountains while fighting the fire in La Canada:



More content is being uploaded every hour -- we'll compile it and keep you posted on our CitizenTube channel.

Ramya Raghavan, News & Politics, is currently watching "Fire in La Crescenta."

Am I allowed to watch this, or is this another US-only video? Maybe I should just stop watching anything you promote by default.

I've used Google since its inception. I love it. But yesterday they refused, again, to commemorate 911. Enough.
Yesterday I cancelled my gmail and changed my search and homepage to Bing. And I will encourage everyone I come in contact with to do the same. Short of an apology to the American people, I will NEVER use google again.

It's crazy how big these fire are. We never see anything like this on the east coast. I live in the pine barrens in NJ and when we have fire they are a few thousand acres nothing like out west.
