EXCERPT:
LA JEUNESSE: "So, yeah, these homes in the Palisades area that we are talking about, they start at maybe $3 million and then they will push up over 30, if they have any land at all. And an area that's called the Palisades Riviera, I saw the fire burning there last night. Again, not unlike here in Malibu. I saw five houses burning and not a firefighter in sight. They are just stretched that thin. And there is not even structure protection in those areas. And some areas, of course, as you know, the homes are built on a bluff. And those fires run up the mountains, if you will, and take them out. And, of course, many people have read that we have no insurance here now. Fire insurance has been cancelled on so many people.

DOOCY: "Yeah, they're toward you."
LA JEUNESSE: "It's not unlike a snowstorm."
DOOCY: "Do you need to move?"
LA JEUNESSE: "Well, no, we’re good. But, you know, you look at that power pole, and as they came up down PCH, it was littered with power poles down, lines down, and then, of course, rocks coming off the cliffs on the other side of the road. So, the situation is extremely threatening and dangerous in a lot of west L.A., let's put it that way."
