'If we left it an extra five minutes or whatever, God forbid what would have happened.' Venice residents jumped into action over the weekend to extinguish a string of trash fires set off in their neighborhood, but they're worried that there's more to come.
Venice residents are concerned that a recent string of fires might turn into something much bigger in the near future if city officials don’t step in to stop the spread before it’s too late.“It was a whole scene, I wish I took a picture, cause it was like, complete chaos – fire, smoke, the fire department, a homeless person on a bike – it was just Venice summed up in a picture.
Now, they’re worried that this string of fires might not be the worst of it, noting the fact that they were lucky it happened in the middle of the day and not while they were sleeping. Authorities still aren’t sure who or what started the fires, but Janinejad said that whatever it was, it wasn’t natural.
“If we left it an extra five minutes or whatever, God forbid what would have happened to this neighborhood, it was really crazy,” he said. “I got home and it was underway,” Snyder recounted to CBS reporter Laurie Perez. “There was a woman at the beginning of the street and said, ‘The streets on fire!’ and I said, ‘Oh my God!'”
