Best friends flee California fires, seek refuge in Phoenix

The Brief

  • A pair of best friends who live in L.A. evacuated the firestorm zone in California to seek refuge in Arizona.
  • Rural Metro Fire’s Shawn Gilleland says those in fire zones should prepare for an emergency with a to-go bag full of essentials you would need for 72 hours away from home.
  • Casey Bae and Rachel Thorpe, the two friends who evacuated, say the fire “should be taken seriously.”

PHOENIX With Los Angeles just six-to-seven hours away, there are some Californians evacuating the fires and coming to Arizona.

Among them are two best friends who say they’re privileged to have a family home to come to here in Phoenix.

These images are what Casey Bae sent to his mom before evacuating from West Hollywood yesterday with his best friend.
