Residents of Hollywood escape from wildfires in terrifying footage

Los Angeles Residents fleeing the largest fire in the city’s history shared horrific footage of their escape on social media.

More than 130,000 people were forced to evacuate and more than 2,000 buildings were destroyed. The mass exodus caused traffic jams and some were forced to abandon their vehicles.

Below are some of the videos that are doing the rounds on the internet. This first video was perhaps the most widely shared footage of two men and their dog crouching down as flames sweep across their yard:
