Its terrible. Was a volunteer firefighter for 28 years.
Saddest part where house fires so advanced by the time dispatched all we could do was suppress the structure while families watching losing everything...
My family and some old FD buds are going through all our cloths don't ware anymore to send.

A collection of 30 cars including 4 iconic early customs, The Norman Timbs Special, The Dave Cunningham Ford, The Studebaker Kart Hauler and the Ray Goulart Oldsmobile were destroyed in the terrible Malibu, CA fires

Here's a link to the Timbs special. It was only one of many rare cars that were destroyed. But, we need to remember all the lives lost and keep this in perspective. Lives always come first! The second paragraph in the link says it all.
