Joe Rogan recalled a frightening conversation he had a with a firefighter
Podcaster Joe Rogan’s haunting prediction about catastrophic wildfires in Los Angeles has resurfaced after fires engulfed large parts of the city, displacing over 130,000 people and leaving a trail of destruction.
Wildfires Ravage Los Angeles, Leaving Devastation in Their Wake
As of now, five people have tragically lost their lives in the raging wildfires that have expanded at an alarming rate. The fires have grown from 300 acres to over 27,000 in just 24 hours, destroying more than 1,000 buildings and forcing countless families to flee their homes. Among those affected is socialite Paris Hilton, whose home was burned down, a loss she described as “unimaginable.”
The devastation has led Los Angeles Police Department Chief James McDonnell to remark, “I’ve never seen anything like this,” underscoring the unprecedented nature of the wildfires.
Joe Rogan’s Eerie Prediction From 2024
In a July 2024 episode of his podcast, Joe Rogan recounted a conversation he had with a firefighter that now feels eerily prophetic.
“I talked to a fireman once,” Rogan said. “This is one of the reasons it freaked me out. He goes: ‘Dude, one day, it’s going to be the right wind, and the fire’s going to start in the right place, and it’s going to burn through LA all the way to the ocean. And there’s not a f**king thing we can do about it.'”

At the time, Rogan’s comments may have seemed far-fetched, but his words now echo the grim reality unfolding in California. Rogan continued, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of wildfires: “We just get lucky when it comes to the extent of the fires we’ve had. These fires are so big, dude. They’re talking about thousands of acres burning simultaneously with, like, 40mph winds.”
Rogan described how embers carried by the wind ignite new fires, making containment efforts nearly impossible: “The wind’s just blowing embers through the air, and those embers are landing on roofs, and those houses are going up [in flames]. It happens in a way that’s so spread out that there’s nothing [the fire department] can do.”
The Current Crisis: Five Fires Raging Simultaneously
Five separate wildfires—the Palisades Fire, the Eaton Fire, the Sunset Fire, the Hurst Fire, and the Lidia Fire—are currently burning in Los Angeles, according to CBS. Officials have confirmed that as of today (January 9, 2025), none of the fires have been contained, leaving communities in a constant state of fear and uncertainty.
