Unreal scenes out of L.A. as fires continue to burn, most with zero per cent containment.  Communities have been wiped out with thousands of structures burned including the homes of some high profile celebrities.  

Thousands have been driven from their homes - with no end in sight.  

On this episode of the Big Story, host Fil Martino speaks with Canadian and environmental journalist Aliya Jasmine who lives in Los Angeles, about the situation on the ground and what it's like living through an actual nightmare.
