Malibu’s wildfire threatens my community. It’s also bringing us together.
Tinderbox-dry brush crackled and roared, sending a plume of acrid smoke over our once-tranquil canyons as the wildfire ravaged Malibu. Flames danced like a surreal ballet, turning towering trees into ghostly apparitions.
Yet, amidst the destruction, there was unity. Neighbors, strangers at first, joined hands to evacuate the elderly, safeguard homes, and fight the relentless beast. The flames brought devastation, but it also forged an unbreakable bond among us. In the face of adversity, our community discovered a resilience and compassion that will long outlive the embers.
