Quick to the scene and sadly quick to leave. No lapd to investigate and the party is back on immediately. Before the fire broke out there was 10-15 people hanging out. This was definitely arson. pic.twitter.com/QoKlZBDezK

7 weeks ago 20 Ocean Lifeguard Candidates stepped foot into their first day of Academy.

Here is a look into their 7 week Academy:

Spend an action packed weekend in Hermosa and Zuma Beach, CA with Ocean Lifeguard Academy #34. This week is day 5 & 6 of a 14-day academy that takes place up and down Los Angeles Counties 72 miles of coastline. Candidates spent the weekend receiving an introduction to working around piers and jetties while also getting to know the ins and outs of the Baywatch Rescue Boats and Rescue Watercraft.

Mike, aka German in Venice, vlogs about daily life in Venice Beach, and the nearby communities.

"Today, I went to Venice Beach to show you the updates for the homeless encampment. They had a new fire engine dedicated to Venice Beach. Fast response unit in case there’s a fire on the boardwalk. The basketball courts and handball courts are open again. They removed graffiti and planted new grass. They trying to clean up Venice Beach.They are still all the homeless encampments in Venice, hopefully soon they can move into housing."

"It looks like living right on the beach was very popular even back as far as 1929, when this photo was taken from the top of the Santa Monica palisades looking south toward the pier where we can see the rollercoaster and the La Monica Ballroom."
