A fire had ignited high in the hills of Pacific Palisades, and smoke was massing over the bone-dry ridgeline.

An hour later, the flames had jumped across the ridgelines and descended down the mountain.

Jones and Ryder, both 37, saw the flames coming down a ridgeline overlooking the ranch they rent sometime around 11:30 p.m.

Reaching anything needing attention can take days or even weeks because the lines that carry water to customers meander through valleys, over ridgelines, and along roadways, many of which remain impassable.

That’s when the 60 mph winds whipped through the hillside neighborhood and the fire appeared on a nearby ridgeline.
