Damn. My nephew...a Captain w/LA County Fire...was just assigned to Malibu.
I worked at a "Malibu Fire" fifty years ago. One of the scariest things about actually being there, even in a well-marked law enforcement (or fire) vehicle, is that many of the roads are carved out of hillside terrain...impassable except for the roads themselves. When everyone is trying to get the hell out of Dodge, you can (for example) head south on the one big highway, as you head to the smaller connecting roads you need, and have steep hills on the east and a steep drop into the Pacific Ocean on the west...and gridlock ensues.
I want him to come home now.
