Residents of LA remember their harrowing escape from wildfires as their homes and businesses were destroyed: "It was like a war zone."

Two residents of Los Angeles recounted their harrowing escape from a wildfire that ravaged their community, as they anxiously await news about their home and business.

On Tuesday, Palisades Highlands residents Eric Robertson and Tricia Cosentino were among thousands who were forced to evacuate their homes as the flames neared their community. The pair shared their experience of sudden departure during "America's Newsroom."

"Cosentino shared with Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino on Wednesday that they were scared to remain and depart, and the experience was incredible. They explained how their neighbors joined together and decided to leave together in a caravan. They emphasized how everyone texted to ensure everyone's safety when they arrived at the bottom."

"I know many people who have been evacuated and lost their homes. My business is in the village, and I saw the entire block burn down last night. There are many residents who own businesses, including many women, and I'm not sure how many of them will be able to recover."

In Los Angeles County, three wildfires are currently burning, specifically in the Pacific Palisades and Sylmar neighborhoods of Los Angeles and another near Pasadena. Despite efforts, as of Wednesday morning, the fires remain zero percent contained due to strong winds that prevent the deployment of aircraft to fight the fires.

As Tuesday progressed, the pair tracked the fire and eventually received an evacuation order, according to Robertson.

"Tricia and her son were first to descend into the canyon, but were turned around by smoke and flames on both sides, as well as cars blocking the road. They returned home, only to hear that the evacuation order had been rescinded. However, the winds picked up and the smoke became overwhelming, so they decided to make a hasty escape."

Over 200,000 people in Los Angeles County were without power by Tuesday evening, while more than 30,000 residents were under evacuation orders.

To create space for firefighters to combat the blaze, officials were compelled to demolish vehicles. Robertson likened the scene to a "battlefield."

"Fortunately, the police escorted groups of cars through the congestion point after the other cars were bulldozed, allowing us to drive through the war zone-like area. There were at least 50 to 75 cars pushed to the side, as seen in images. Burning debris littered the ground, and there were fire hoses and blockages everywhere."

"Our landmarks, schools, grocery store, churches, and everything on the way down to PCH were on fire around us, making it difficult to see and drive away," he continued.

The wildfires in Los Angeles are "dynamic and dangerous" and are "continuing to grow," said Margaret Stewart, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Fire Department, on "Fox & Friends" Wednesday morning.

The wind conditions are extreme, with sustained and gusting winds over 80 mph, which is hurricane force. As a result, it is impossible to stop a wind-driven fire from the ground, given the topography.

Unfortunately, our helicopters cannot fly under the current wind condition, and they are continually evaluating it. However, the winds are not forecasted to lessen over the next hours.

"The fire is expanding rapidly and poses a significant threat. Although we have sustained damage to several structures, we cannot yet determine the extent of it. Additionally, both firefighters and civilians have been injured."
