lieberman at the pentagon and this is cnn. >> this is cnn breaking news. >> hello and welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world. i'm ivan watson. we are following breaking news this hour as we head into day six of the devastating wildfires in southern california. the urgency to contain the flames is now, more than ever, a top priority. officials are warning that dangerous weather conditions could fuel the fires even more in the hours ahead. >> another red flag warning that it's going to push it westward again. >> there is a very significant concern that it's going to continue to grow with the wind conditions predicted and what we were hearing from the national weather service, when it can carry an ember miles away due to 40, 50, 60 mile an hour winds, it doesn't really how big.

>> i mean, the there's no line you can cut that, that can stop that. so what we need to do is we need to have everyone ready to be able to evacuate if necessary, depending on where the winds blow the fire. >> now, crews are battling the fires from the ground and air. california's governor is doubling the number of national guardsmen deployed. local firefighters will be joined by others from parts of california, as well as from seven other u.s. states, canada and mexico. there has been promising progress on the largest blaze burning in los angeles. that's the palisades fire. one official says there's minimal activity in some parts as they stop the spread of the fire's boundary. it's now threatening communities west of the 405 freeway, prompting authorities to expand evacuation orders. at least 16 people have been killed. students at ucla will have online classes until next week as they await updates from

officials. other areas are also under threat from the palisades fire, including brentwood and the mayor of malibu says that city has already lost one third of its eastern edge to the palisades fire. fires are also burning dangerously close to landmarks like the getty center. cnn's stephanie elam is on the ground near brentwood and shows us what fire crews are doing now to prepare for a new round of strong winds. >> i want to draw your attention to this ridge line up here behind us. up there where you see a vehicle parked up on top of that sandy colored area. they have been bulldozing, making that broader, making that wider. and the reason why they're doing that is because they want to have a defensible space, a place where they can battle against the flames. were the fire to come this direction. and we have gotten information that the winds will change direction and start to

blow this way. right now the fire is burning out in this canyon here in brentwood, california. but what they want to make sure is that it stays away from these homes that you see right here. um, all day saturday, we've seen firefighters staged there behind these houses that are up against this ridge. and obviously a lot of people like to live here. they've got this lovely, beautiful nature backdrop behind them. but this is also the downside of that is just how close they are to this fire burning here. the palisades fire you can see as they have been doing all day, they've been fighting this fire from the sky. they've been dropping fire retardant. they've been dropping water to stop that forward movement. but as the winds change, the smoke starts to change. and so they have to change how they're fighting these blazes. but this is what they're continuing to do here to protect the houses along this ridge here. because obviously, the first concern is to make sure that they keep people alive. and as i've been

told, most of the people here did evacuate. the next thing that they're working on is keeping homes safe. and so they have extra firefighters coming from all around the country. in fact, from several states and as well as canada and mexico here to help battle these blazes. as we prepare for these higher winds over the next few days. back to you. >> that's cnn's stephanie elam there in los angeles. now to get the latest on the weather conditions, we're joined now from oxnard, california, by todd hall. he's a senior meteorologist with the national weather service. thanks for joining. at this time of the night. what are the conditions, the weather conditions on the ground now that firefighters are dealing with? todd. >> well, in general, we're seeing wind gusts between 35 and 50mph across much of our higher terrain in southern california, where these fires are burning. uh, those

numbers will likely increase through the night as we start to experience the next round of santa ana winds. so typically, our santa ana winds, they strengthen through sunrise and really reach peak intensity just shortly after sunrise. so we're gearing up for another round of of critical fire weather conditions on these fires. and, and potentially a some more strong winds across these across these burn areas. >> wow. um, and when i spoke with you this time last night, you said that though these are strong winds, they should not be powerful enough to stop the air assets, the fixed wing planes and the helicopters that we've seen dumping water and flame retardant on the fires. is that true? >> well, there will be some times when when the fixed wing. so the aircraft may not be able to fly. um, i know the helicopters. they typically can use those, uh, even during,

during times of high winds. there are they have a little less restrictions, but, uh, that's just of course, that's just me from experience here. um, looking at that. but yes, there are times when the winds could could be strong enough where they have to to bring those assets down off, off, out of the air. >> you know, there was a cal fire battalion chief who said that these the newest round of santa ana winds, they could actually help with the palisades fire, which has been burning. eastwood eastwards by blowing it back westwards. are you monitoring any of those conditions on the ground? what the winds could do, either in the palisades fire or any of the other fires burning in the region? and do you have any updates or predictions about what this new round of wind could do to the existing fires? >> yeah. what what the battalion chief said that that is correct. sometimes.

sometimes these winds can blow the fire back on itself. and really help that. you just hope that that these embers don't end up and become airborne. uh, what's left over on the fire? certainly. we have to monitor the west end of the palisades fire as as this could potentially end up and could push it more. but there is some good news that we did have a fire called the franklin fire about a several weeks ago that could end up in actually, it could actually burn into that where it's where that area is, is already burned. so there is some. so there is some, some, uh, i'm sorry about this. there is some hope here that that we could end up and, and, uh, bring some, some bring some suppression to this fire. >> let us definitely hope. meteorologist todd hall from the national weather service, thank you very much for keeping us up to date on the weather conditions on the ground in southern california right now, and let's turn now to los

angeles, because joining us is ross greenberg, who lost his home in the palisades fire. ross, i'm so sorry about this devastating setback. can i ask you, how is your family right now? where are you guys staying right now? >> thank you so much for having me tonight. >> um, my family is okay. we're currently at a hotel where we've been trying to kind of piece our life back together. i have a, you know, a five year old and a seven year old who's actually her birthday is this week. she's turning eight, so we have to kind of explain to them that they don't have a house anymore and they don't have their things anymore, and we have to find a new place to live. and it's been it's been devastating. i think. i think they're holding up well. um, and we're doing our best. and, you know, seeing what the community is going through is really tough. you know, they lost their dance studio that's

been there for 30 years. and their musical theater studio that's been there, that my wife actually went to as a kid. it's just it's hard seeing what's going on. >> yeah, i really can't imagine. and by the way, our viewers right now are looking at footage and images, i believe, of the ruins of your home in the aftermath of this fire. and i know you just said you guys are just trying to come to grips with this. your seven year old is about to have a birthday. can you tell me what kind of calculations are you making? kind of for the near and medium future for your family as you kind of try to come to grips with this loss? >> so. so we live in an area called the alphabets, and it's grids of houses next to each other. and my entire street was wiped out except for one one house. and so the immediate thought is we have to find a place to go. and we have, you know, thousands upon thousands of people in the palisades that

have been evacuated. and they're looking for places to go, and their homes are probably most likely lost. um, and then secondly, the rebuild, we're thinking about rebuilding. so i'm calling contractors and architects and thinking how quickly can we get this done? um, and i've been doing that all week. and because, you know, i know my neighbors are going to have to rebuild, and i know my neighbor down the street is going to have to rebuild. and what is that going to look like? and how can that be expedited is kind of really top of my mind. because we love our home. we, you know, we we bought it a couple years ago. uh, it was a fixer. we fixed it up. we finally moved in. we've been there about two years and then we lost it. so we're just going to go and and rebuild it back to what it was. you know, it was very special to us. so, um, we're just hoping that everyone kind of figure out this expedited process. and, you know, everybody loves their home. and if they can get back into their community as well. so it's just it's just tough,

you know, it's incredible to think that just days later, you're already thinking about plans to to to build a new home. >> can i ask that the home that did get burned down, was it insured? are you moving forward with the process of of of dealing with the insurance company or reaching out to other resources to, to compensate for the loss? >> so yeah, i'm fortunate my policy was not canceled. i was one of the people that still had my insurance carrier. i know that other people have various things. they have piecemeal, but i hear of like the fair plan and wraparound coverage. my my carriers is is still with me. they've actually been wonderful. i'm not going to lie, i, i knew when i knew wednesday morning i lost my house. i was on the phone with them. an hour later, i was in an office with them on thursday. they calling me every day. they're helping me. they've kind of outlined what it's going to take and and you know, i'm one to just get things done. so, you know, my

coping is let's, let's, let's get our house back. let's get my family out of a hotel and into a, you know, apartment or a home nearby. so they can my kids can have some type of semblance of a life and, and try to get things back to normal, kind of plan that we can, you know, hopefully be back in our home in 2 to 3 years. maybe that would be ideal. and hopefully that process can be expedited. >> you know, and ross, you know, as we're discussing this and you're kind of trying to map out the future for your family and where you're going to live, the natural disaster is not over. the firefighters are, as we speak, out there on the hilltops fighting these fires from where you are right now at your hotel, does it feel like the crisis is over? does it feel like the authorities have a handle on this, or does it feel like you're still at some risk? >> there's a lot of risk. so? so my in-laws actually live four minutes away from me, and they're at the hotel with us. they're still under the evacuation route, and the fire

is is kind of creeping up on on their property right now. so there's a lot of worry in the family. are we going to lose two houses this week and we're, you know, where are they going to go and what's going to happen to them. and about them rebuilding. so no. and you know, i've a lot of friends in town that are, you know, the areas of brentwood and encino are being threatened where they are. and so there's we're kind of day in and day out making sure everyone else is okay. um, and because of that, there's like a frenzy on finding a place to live, like for people rentals. so i walked in on friday morning to i did five open houses that i checked out, and there was 50 people. and the few minutes that i was there. so it's it's everyone's worried. i've never seen anything like this. >> ross uh, just kind of wrapping up here, is there anything that you'd like to share with our viewers about this, this

awful situation that maybe people aren't thinking about? just another thing that you've observed over the course of this kind of epically disastrous week. >> you know, i know it's tough for for everyone. that's, that's, you know, lost their home this week. but the people that i've spoken to, my neighbors in the palisades, everyone's been been great. and you could see that it's a real great tight knit community. i mean, they love their 4th of july parades and, you know, getting together for, you know, this christmas market that happens over at the caruso center. and everyone's really there for each other right now. and i think that's that's really important. and, um, we're not over obviously in los angeles, you know, there's fires everywhere, but we're lucky to be here. i'm lucky to be with my family. i've got my family here. i'm lucky, you know, that. my kids are are happy for right now and that we're going to do our best to make them, you know, happy next week and the weeks to come. >> even amid these terrible setbacks, it does make you kind

of count your blessings. ross greenburg, thank you very much for sharing your story with us and good luck moving forward. >> thanks so much. >> all right. meanwhile, health officials are warning of the effects that wildfire smoke can have both short term and long term. an expert will join us to explain more about that next. plus, california warns of scammers preying on victims of the wildfires and those who want to help. those details just ahead after the break. >> this part changed my life. >> superman. crazy. just that simple little thing over the horse. >> she came flying in and she just yelled, i love you. >> superman was in a wheelchair and was willing to go public with it was huge.

advisory through sunday and to warn of unhealthy air quality. health officials say they're term and long term risksserious problems, especially for children, the elderly, pregnant women and people with preexisting conditions. we're going to go live now to doctor lisa patel, a clinical associate of a professor of pediatrics at stanford university. thank you for joining me, doctor patel, i understand you run a practice at a pediatric hospital. what do people need to know right now about the conditions in and around los angeles as we speak? >> so i actually work in northern california, but we are very well versed in this issue because we've faced wildfires in our area as well. >> and so during periods of wildfire and during periods of extreme smoke, we do see more

children that come into our emergency room with issues like bronchitis, wheezing, asthma, pneumonia, and older individuals can suffer. as you mentioned, from exacerbations of their existing conditions. we also know that it affects pregnant individuals. and so there's a higher risk of both preterm birth and low birth weight. infants. >> so doctor patel, what measures can people take right now to protect themselves, to protect their children. >> so a few things. obviously, if you're in an area that's under possible evacuation, just be making sure that you're checking those evacuation orders. make sure that you have your go bag ready. have family members that you've contacted so that you can evacuate safely to a place where you can be, amongst others that can really care for you, because this is a traumatic experience for everybody involved. if you're not in the evacuation zone, but you are experiencing the wildfire smoke, it's

important. if you are one of the what we call the sensitive populations. so that is children, pregnant individuals and the elderly that you are staying indoors checking that air quality index and trying to create a safe room for yourself inside, that means that you have an air purifier. you have the windows closed, so you have a place where you have good indoor air quality to breathe. >> and a lot of people are wearing masks right now. is that a logical kind of precaution to take these days so yes, both k and and n95s offer protection from some of the wildfire pollution. >> but you shouldn't go outside and just assume just because you have the mask on, that it's a normal day. so if you're wearing a mask outdoors, limit your time outside. you don't want to go outside and exercise an n95, for example. >> okay. and i understand that you're also executive director for the medical society

consortium on climate and health, am i correct? >> that's right. >> okay. are you drawing? even though we're still in the midst of this crisis, are you drawing any conclusions right now about or any observations about the impact that climate is now having on public health in the los angeles area absolutely. >> our consortium, we started out with eight medical societies. we are now up to 60 medical societies representing a million physicians in the u.s. because we understand that climate change will be the greatest driver of health for a child born today. and so whether it's wildfires in california or the superstorms that we're seeing in the gulf coast, climate change is affecting both americans and people all over the world. and we really need to understand that, yes, climate change has always been an environmental issue, but it is profoundly an issue of our health and an issue of our well-being and our safety. >> and when we're talking

about health specifically, in this case, you've been talking about respiratory illness, right? that is an immediate consequence of of these wildfires. >> that's right. but it does have other health implications. so long term. and these are studies that we've done both on firefighters and settings that were studies that we're trying to do, starting to do on populations longer out from a big wildfire event. so in children, for example, when we follow them 2 to 4 years out, we're seeing things like reduced lung function, we're seeing increased antibiotic use and more health care utilization, indicating that these children are getting sick in different ways from that early exposure. we also know that chronic exposure to this type of pollution places you at higher risk for certain types of cancer. for alzheimer's disease, for cardiovascular disease. and there's emerging evidence that wildfire smoke, just the introduction to it. we see more health care utilization for mental health illness as well. things like

anxiety and depression. so it affects our bodies in lots of different ways that we are only now beginning to understand, okay, this will be very important to keep in mind in the months and years ahead, after what i think can only be described as as an historic urban fire. >> doctor lisa patel, thank you very much for joining us and sharing your expertise. >> thank you for having me. >> all right. now, scammers are targeting some wildfire victims, if you can believe it. what california officials are urging people to look for, to stay clear of them. that is just ahead. plus, how the white house is responding to the california fire emergency. those stories when we return after the break. >> kobe believed in himself at the youngest possible age. >> it's one of the most remarkable stories in sports

that the wildfires, which have killed at least 16 people, will continue to grow in los angeles county. more than 100,000 residents remain under evacuation orders, but some orders have been lifted in certain cities. amid all the destruction. authorities have been grappling with another problem. >> obviously, looting is an issue. >> the number of arrests are continuously growing. we are catching looters within the zone, but we're securing the area better and better every single day just to bring up some crimes of significance. and you'll be the first ones to hear this, because this could hit the media soon. but we've made seven arrests just in the last two days, and we even made arrests of two individuals that were actually posing as firefighters coming in and out of houses. >> meanwhile, crews have been working relentlessly on the ground and from the air. cnn's lee waldman has more. >> winds are picking up here in

pacific palisades. it's a race against the clock for first responders who are trying to get a greater level of containment for the fires that are currently burning here in l.a. county. but we heard from the cal fire chief who said there is a significant concern that with those winds picking back up, that the wildfires could grow. the firestorm in southern california stretching east saturday. and now new concern over the wind speeds increasing, posing a further threat. the multiple blazes combined singeing nearly 40,000 acres in southern california, decimating communities. >> it's okay. it's like your heart's been ripped out. we have everything. we have our lives and stomped on and thrown away. and you're just trying to find a piece to put it back together. >> the pellegrini family lost their restaurant of 40 years. like so many others, they've lost so much. >> two doors down, the house is gone. one door up. the house is gone. the house above me is gone. the house is across the street. we're. we're burning

all day. >> dan o'connor is one of the few residents whose home is still standing in malibu. but around him is nothing but mangled metal and charred debris. this home, only the staircase is left standing. the largest of the wildfires, the palisades fire, devouring the malibu area. >> it's devastating and heartbreaking for all, but it's great to see the, you know, the community come together. >> the winds calming down saturday morning, allowing crews to make progress fighting the flames by air and reducing the risk for firefighters. >> you're not having those, you know, strong, strong winds that are providing ember casting and starting spot fires in front of the head of fires, but the dry conditions still leaving much of southern california under a critical level for fire danger. >> the santa ana winds are expected to pick up sunday, which could worsen fire risk. california governor gavin newsom doubled the amount of national guardsmen who are here

helping to respond to these fires. we also are getting help from mexico firefighters and also firefighters coming from texas, all with the same goal in mind, trying to protect the people and communities in the path of these blazes. in pacific palisades, i'm leigh waldman, cnn. >> now, as if things weren't challenging enough in l.a., california officials are now urging people to be aware of scam artists looking to take advantage of fire victims. they say some scammers are targeting elderly people and immigrants who may not speak english as a first language. the scammers are also creating fake charities seeking donations to help with the wildfires. on top of looking out for scam artists. california's attorney general is raising the alarm about price gouging, targeting the state's vulnerable fire victims. >> we are talking about people who have lost loved ones whose homes have perished in the

fires, who have lost treasured belongings, whose lives have been turned upside down, who are struggling and suffering. they're looking for housing. they're looking for essential goods to keep their lives moving. the last thing they need is for someone to victimize them again, exploit them and take advantage of them and harm them through price gouging. they need the opposite. they need some people who are giving them care and support and looking after them and valuing them and helping them. >> president joe biden says he and the federal government are making every effort to aid california's firefighting and provide support in what will most certainly be a difficult aftermath. cnn's julia benbrook reports from the white house. >> the biden administration says it is in constant communication with california governor gavin newsom and los angeles mayor karen bass. those two leaders were a part of a briefing where biden was updated on the efforts to

suppress the fires across l.a., and how federal resources are being used to assist with the response on the ground. following that briefing, biden said that his team would continue to work 24 over seven with state and local officials. this promise comes as biden has just over a week left in office. >> we're going to make sure california has every possible resource to fight these fires and help survivors. this is not going to be over even when all the fires are out. it's just going to be the beginning. and the change in insurance policy in california for these modest homes, as well as these very expensive homes and businesses. so we're going to be around a long while ago to help the federal government and the mayor, as well. >> the president said that his team is briefing the incoming administration on the steps that they're taking. biden has directed the federal government to cover 100% of the state's cost in this initial disaster

response. for the first 180 days, and fema has activated their critical needs assistance program to jump start recovery. that's a one time initial payment of $770 to cover initial needs like food, water, and prescriptions. the administration is also providing air tankers as well as firefighting helicopters to help with the response. biden was initially scheduled to be in italy over the weekend, but he canceled that trip so that he can focus on the federal recovery efforts. and again, in just over a week, it will be a new administration overseeing this response at the white house. julia benbrook, cnn. >> coming up after the break, president elect donald trump is making no bones about his desire for the u.s. to take control of greenland. >> we need greenland for national security purposes. i've been told that for a long time, long before i even ran. i
