Two friends attempted to save a family home in Pacific Palisades from a raging fire, but were forced to evacuate due to the intense heat and embers. The fire was described as apocalyptic, with flames engulfing the neighborhood and threatening to destroy homes. The residents had evacuated earlier, but returned to protect their house. The future is uncertain for the family as they wait for news on the fate of their home and contemplate the possibility of moving to another state without wildfires.
