  • How far back are you?

  • I am behind that truck.

  • Yeah, just behind the truck.

  • On Friday morning, a long line of cars formed in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, a place that's been decimated over the past few days by raging wildfires.

  • In areas where the fires have burned out, authorities have started to let residents back in to assess the damage and to see what's left of their homes.

  • In one of the cars was a woman named Mariah Lanfar.

  • Yeah, so we had a clue that our house was gone when we got this map from like, Cal Fire or whatever.

  • But they didn't update this for so long, so I was like holding out.

  • So this is where our house is.

  • With her was a man from her neighborhood named Gavin Bates.

  • My wife didn't even want to come.

  • She's like, why are you going?

  • I feel like I just need to see it myself.

  • Totally.

  • I feel the same way.

  • I just need to.

  • It's hard.

  • Yeah.

  • Getting into the neighborhood was a slow process.

  • Police were escorting people in in part to protect against looters, and they only let a handful of cars in at a time.
