The Home Depot fire did more than devastate the store. The smoke and embers traveled for miles, triggering smaller fires and forcing people to shelter to avoid potentially dangerous smoke.
Some people in the surrounding neighborhoods said that after seeing so much flames and smoke, they couldn’t believe more wasn’t destroyed.
Home video from Henry Estrella, who lives near the Home Depot, showed them scrambling to protect their homes as burning embers and smoke overwhelmed them. “The energy that was in that fire was something else, you know? Thank god for neighbors. I mean, this whole place, this whole area was just full of fire trucks, people, people on top of roofs watering it all down,” sand Estrella.
