What started as a routine drive turned into a life-or-death moment for LAFD Fire Inspector Jerry Kao. A massive mudslide struck his vehicle, pushing it off PCH and into the ocean below.

Thanks to his training and quick thinking, Inspector Kao was able to escape. We’re beyond grateful he is safe.

This incredible story is a reminder of how fast conditions can change—and why evacuation orders must be taken seriously. Stay informed, stay prepared, and stay safe.
