An Angeleno Sees The Start Of The Palisades Fire....

....and immediately understands what it means.

NEW: My former @FOXLA colleague Kevin captured video of the moment the #PalisadesFire first broke out on Tuesday morning. He runs @airlinevideos at LAX, where he has live cameras set up. 

At 10:26 AM, as a Delta flight lands, you see the first small plume of smoke in the hills in the background. 

At 10:28 AM, as a United flight lands, the smoke plume can be seen growing larger. 

At 10:30 AM, Kevin notices the fire and active flames, and begins talking about it. 

By 10:42 AM, the fire is fully established and the flames begin moving toward homes. Video credit: @airlinevideos
