>> this tiny home trend. now this is more like it. the same goes for my footwork. so i went hands free with wide fit skechers slip ins. try wide fit skechers slip ins. >> thank you all very much for joining me this morning. i want to bring in my good friend pamela brown. and pamela, you know, i could not let us get through the hour without mentioning my commanders. and the doink heard round the world. let's take a look the washington commanders off the upright and it is in. >> wow, look at that. >> look at that man. oh, man. >> oh, nail biter. >> you know, it was. it was a great victory.

there's something else to watch. >> wait a second. we actually won a playoff game. >> yeah. that was an amazing doink, as you call it. >> i mean, i always like the kicker. i feel so bad for them because there's so much pressure on them. usually they don't get to play a lot. but when they do, usually it's like all the pressure is on them, right? at first you're watching, you're like, oh, is it going to go out? and then it just hits the post goes right in, and now the commanders are making their way through. >> they got the lions next. i'm a little worried, but i got the burgundy tie on just to celebrate. today. you're representing you got the burgundy background even right now. all right. >> exactly. >> congrats on that win jim. and good morning to you, everyone. you are live in the cnn newsroom. i'm pamela brown in washington. >> this is cnn breaking news. >> and we begin this hour with breaking news.

>> officials in los angeles are about to hold a briefing on the wildfire sweeping through the area. the toll is enormous, and it is growing. >> fires have burned more than 40,000 acres and destroyed more than 12,000 buildings, homes, businesses, even entire neighborhoods just wiped out. at least 24 people have died and dozens are missing. and the next few days appear ominous. fire officials say wind gusts could reach 70 miles an hour, so that means the progress made to contain 14% of the palisades fire and 33% of the eaton fire could be lost. people are expected to be let back into some evacuation areas thursday, but many will find there's just nothing left there. and check out this video. wind gusts and flames are whipping up these fire tornadoes. look at this. fire crews are trying to determine what caused these fires. an electrical transmission tower or other power equipment are under

scrutiny. among other scenarios. so let's get the very latest here. cnn's veronica miracle joins us from altadena, california. what are you seeing there on the ground? veronica? well, pamela, as the sun comes up here, we are just getting a look at the incredible amount of devastation. >> entire blocks, entire neighborhoods, completely leveled. >> and what is so striking about this devastation is you. >> you can see just right behind me, there's really nothing left. you can see outlines of the foundations of homes, chimneys, cars. that's pretty much it. everything is all ash. but then look across the street and this entire row of homes untouched. i mean, that's a wooden fence and so much. there's trees. there's all kinds of shrubs there that could have been lit up and definitely incinerated. and all of those homes could have been destroyed. that is how unpredictable these fires are. and all of those winds are in terms of the bigger picture scope, the devastation, including the eaton fire, the hurst fire, which is a little

bit north of us, and then the palisades fire, all of those combined have burned the size bigger than the size of paris. if you can even imagine. but for people who are going to be returning here, they are going to find so much loss. entire communities that are going to have to be rebuilt. and right now, fema administrators telling cnn that it's going to take about six months to clean up all of this debris because there's toxic ash that is now seeping into the soil. all of that is going to have to be cleaned up. and then likely the foundations of all of these homes are going to have to be removed. so if you can just imagine the level of cleanup that is going to be involved here. now, families have not been able to come back to this neighborhood. it has been very quiet. we've seen firefighters, investigators driving around, but other than that, all you can really hear is the sound of birds chirping. and that's because fire officials say it is too dangerous for

families to be coming back to this right now to assess the damage, to see if their home has been lost, to see if there's anything that they can salvage, or to see if their home is still standing. there's toxic ash, there are downed power lines. you can see some of the lines down here in l.a. are speaking right now, giving us the latest on the wildfires. >> let's listen. >> we gained no acreage yesterday, which is a very good thing. we know that over 7000 structures are damaged or destroyed, and we have 3408 firefighting personnel assigned to the incident, 26% of our damage inspections for dwellings have been completed. impacted residents may visit recovery dot l.a. county.gov to view preliminary maps showing damage assessments, please note that the preliminary maps have been

posted and are being updated daily. if there is not a color icon on your address, it means the building has not yet been inspected. severe fire weather conditions will continue through wednesday. please be assured that all fire departments and all law enforcement agencies in the area will be prepared for the anticipated winds combined with low humidities and low fuel moistures will keep the fire threat in all of los angeles county. critical. i ask all los angeles county residents in wildfire prone areas to understand that the necessary public safety, power shut offs are important for our collective safety in preventing the next wildfire natural disaster. i did want to dispel

one rumor the l.a. county fire department has never turned down any offers for mutual aid assistance and resources. repopulation will not occur until all areas are safe. additionally, our our cl 415 super scooper that was damaged because of a drone incursion is reportedly going to be flying tomorrow morning. it has been repaired and we're waiting for the faa to give us approval to fly again. thank you to board chair supervisor kathryn and supervisor lindsey horvath for your unwavering leadership and continued support throughout this unprecedented disaster. and finally, to all the los angeles county residents affected by this catastrophe, please be

assured your firefighters continue to work towards full containment of these wildfires from the air and on the ground. we stand alongside each of you as you begin the repopulation of evacuated areas. when safe and the rebuilding of your homes, your communities and your lives. thank you good morning everyone. >> kristin crowley los angeles city fire department fire chief, to start off with just a moment to share with everybody out there that's been impacted by these wildland fires that the entire lafd family, sworn and civilian, our city family, mayor bass city leadership, everybody, our thoughts and hearts and prayers go out to you as we continue to push forward and mitigate this

emergency. >> we understand the impacts and we're working and will continue to work very, very, very hard for everyone. another point i want to make is that also, we are so very grateful for the firefighters and the first responders that have already arrived and continue to arrive in the southern california region. we absolutely know that we cannot do this on our own, and we are tremendously appreciative of all of your continued support as the increasing wind event is upon us as we speak. the los angeles city fire department has maximized our resource capabilities and response capabilities, all available lafd resources have been staffed. i have strategically pre-positioned engine strike teams and task forces which are dedicated to rapid response for any new fire that breaks out in the

city. in addition, i've directed the fire prevention bureau to augment wildfire patrols in high hazard areas. the palisades fire your lafd remains committed to this fire, and we have significant number of engines that have been dedicated to this fire. the crews that are involved, we have crews from up and down the state, outside of the state have made excellent, excellent work overnight mopping up flare ups and hotspots. their primary focus last night was on the mandeville canyon area, and this fire is now at 23,713 acres with 14% containment, with 5123 personnel assigned to the palisades fire incident. firefighters will continue to work diligently throughout the day to increase containment and prevent further fire spread. again, i want to focus our my comments on the amount of resources that are here in the

palisades, from the first responders all the way up to our incident command teams. again, we're going to keep working really, really hard for you. just a brief comment on the hurst fire. it's been held to 799 acres with 95% containment. again, thank you to the community members that are out there for remaining vigilant. we are not in the clear. i want to make sure of that. we are not in the clear as of yet, and we must not let our guard down as we have right now. extreme fire behavior, and we need to make sure that the community is staying updated with the most information. updated information as well. follow all evacuation warnings and orders without delay. and please, please stay safe. i would now like to introduce our next speaker and that is sheriff luna. thank you. >> robert luna, sheriff of los angeles county, regarding our

deployment, we still have well over a thousand of our los angeles county deputies out there working on 12 hour shifts. uh, we have 172 california highway patrol officers. i'd like to thank the commissioner who was with me yesterday, shaun derry, for all of his assistance. um, i also want to thank major general beavers. i was with him as well. and he has fortunately been able to increase the amount of national guard assistance that he is giving us to up to 600. and he told me yesterday, if we need more, we can ask for more. and we are strategically looking at that, analyzing it, and will ask as needed. uh, evacuations. we have approximately and this is some good news because it's dropped. we have over 92,000 people who are under evacuation orders and approximately 89,000 people who are under evacuation warnings.

i want our community to know this. and chief marrone did talk about this for a second in every conversation we're having about evacuations, warnings, whether they're there, we're going to implement them or take or take them away. the conversation about repopulation is on all of our minds. i know that we are attending staffs, attending community meetings, whether they be out in the palisades fire area in malibu for us at l.a. county, sheriffs in the altadena area, we are hearing our community loud and clear, and we want to get you in there as soon as possible. but i want to reiterate what is holding us up. this is very important. we are still for the altadena area. we are in the third day of grid searching. it is a very grim task and we unfortunately

every day we're doing this, we're running across the remains of individual community members. that is not easy work. very sad to report, and i believe that work is not only going to continue, but i believe we'll continue to find remains. so please be patient with us. people are saying, i just want to go look at my house and i want to see what's left. we know that, but we have people literally looking for the remains of your neighbors. please be patient with us. there is a lot of hazards in the area. still, the area has not been rendered safe. please be patient with us and then we have the potential of crime scenes. and i have. i'm not saying that's what it is. i'm just saying we have to think ahead because we can't go back from that. so please be patient with us. the curfew is still in effect 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. for specifically the mandatory

evacuation areas in both the palisades impacted area and the eaton fire impacted areas. those are subject to change depending on need one way or another. we understand again that people want to go back, but it is dangerous to do so and we will not put anybody's safety at risk. i want to talk about arrest for the l.a. county sheriff's area. overnight. we had several other arrests. it brings it up to a total of 34. in our geographic area, we have 30 in the eaton fire area, and we have four in the palisades area. last night, specifically, again for l.a. county sheriff's jurisdiction, we arrested for two were for curfew violations. uh, two were arrested for one drone incident. to my knowledge, we have now had two specific drone incidents that have resulted in three arrests.

so as i talk to our community again, uh, if you do not have business in the in the evacuation areas, do not go there. uh, please. your, um, infringing upon the work that our first responders need to attend to. um, and i do want to say, when i talk about these arrests, i want to clarify. not all of them are for burglary or looting or for curfew violations, but it is very important when i say stay out. we are arresting people who are not supposed to be there, who do not live there, who are in possession of narcotics. we've arrested several with guns. and yeah, i'm going to tell you something. if we're if our deputies being very proactive in these areas, stopping people in a constitutional manner, as

always, making sure that they're supposed to be there and you have narcotics on you and you have a gun on you and police work. we call that a clue. something's wrong there. so that's why we're arresting people. our search and rescue missions up to the through the two days, we have searched 1874 properties in regards to deaths. and again, i want to clarify. this is for the los angeles county area of responsibility. we have confirmed 21 deaths, 16 in the eaton fire area and five in the palisades area. and sadly, yes, unfortunately, i anticipate the number to go up. missing persons. we are actively have 23 active missing persons reported 17 in the eaton fire area, six in the malibu area. all of them are adults. thank god there's no juveniles. but

if you believe you have somebody who's missing, make sure you report that to us. uh, as soon as possible. for any updated information that anybody may have. questions. very important questions regarding evacuation orders or warnings or any road closures, please go to l.a. county.gov/emergency for assistance. the american red cross is doing an amazing job. please contact police, contact them. and again for some of the negative things i talk about, there are some amazing stories of community members coming forward to donate items. it's very inspiring for donations, go to emergency network los angeles and now it's my pleasure to introduce assistant chief dominic choi from the los angeles police department. thank you. >> okay. good morning. i want to start by just assuring everybody that our primary focus still remains the safety and well-being of our residents. >> these fires have caused

significant disruptions. but. but we are working tirelessly with our partners to protect lives, property and secure critical infrastructure. so as of this morning, lapd has in the city, 266 officers deployed to the palisades fire. we also have support from our national guard partners, who have deployed 200 soldiers assigned to the incident. we're very grateful for their support. we also have dedicated resource investigating our missing persons reported. so at this time, as of this morning, 6 a.m., we have a total of 26 people reported missing in the city.

uplifting as the sheriff just mentioned, it's not just for looting or burglary that you're going to jail or curfew. if you're in the area you don't belong.

area is given giving priority to those people that are reported missing in these burn areas from their grid. search will take place that could result in crime scene preservation and then recovery remains. we hope that the high volume of resources dedicated to this effort will expedite the process. and as many of you know, the dry conditions and winds increasing, it's possible that evacuation orders may increase. i know overnight we saw some of the evacuation orders turn into warnings, but we can absolutely see some of these order areas increased to

mandatory evacuations again. so i urge you, we urge you, please heed these orders. it can save your life. and as we also previously mentioned, identifying the cause of these fires is critically important to all of us in conjunction with our partners and led by atf, we have created a los angeles regional wildlife investigative task force. and while their work is still in the early stages, we're committed to identifying the cause and origin of these fires. and we're also committed to holding anyone who is responsible for these fires accountable and to further protect the residents of los angeles and the city. our curfew is also still in effect from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. in short, if you don't belong there, don't be there. in closing, i want to reiterate that our department and all of us standing here this morning are with you. i want to express my deepest gratitude to the firefighters, our fellow law enforcement partners and volunteers who are putting

themselves in harm's way to protect our communities and help people recover. their bravery and dedication are truly inspirational. we are also grateful for the patience and cooperation of our residents during this difficult time. we know this is not easy. thank you and be safe. at this time, i'd like to introduce los angeles county district attorney nathan hochman. thank you. >> thank you. >> with firefighters literally putting their lives on the line to save lives and to save homes with law enforcement working around the clock to keep security at a high level with over 200,000 people evacuated. i'm one of them. and with people who have lost lives, lost homes, lost businesses, there are still people in our community who, rather than saying, thank you, look at this as an

opportunity to commit crime and to take illegal profit and advantage over the situation. we've seen this come up and you've heard law enforcement describe the arrests that have been made, whether those arrests are for looting, burglary, grand theft, whether those arrests are for arson, whether those arrests will eventually be for price gouging, because we have been seeing price gouging with hotels, people offering residences well above the 10% addition that they can charge. we've seen that with medical supplies, other types of supplies, price gouging going on. so the criminals have decided that this is an opportunity. and i'm here to tell you that this is not an opportunity. you will be arrested. you will be prosecuted, and you will be punished to the full extent of the law. at 2 p.m. today, we'll be holding a press conference to announce the first charges in a looting case and the first

charges in an arson case. this is not an arson case tied to the major fires. it was an arson case that was done on the side. in essence, you will hear that these people who've committed these crimes are facing very significant sentences. i have working with over 750 deputy district attorneys and the entire law enforcement community to bring these people who are despicable and disgraceful to justice. and we're not only going to see what's happening right now in connection with bringing stability to our community, whether it's again, going after the looters, the arsonists or the price gougers. but we're starting to see the criminals emerge who are going to go after the recovery efforts. these are people who are contacting people and pretending to be gofundme operations to help people who have suffered, and gofundme, by the way, actually is an

excellent organization that is put in place protections that if you use their site, you can use it safely. but these are people who are creating fake gofundme sites. i tell people to be very, very cautious when you give your money away to check out the organizations that you're doing it to. i applaud anyone who wants to donate to these causes, whether with money or services, but make sure that they are going to the right operation. these scams coming up with insurance proceeds, we're going to see scams coming up with government benefits, because we are going to literally have billions of dollars come into los angeles county over the next months and years. and for

the criminals who view this as an opportunity, let me again give you this warning an absolutely, unmistakably clear warning that if you go ahead and you want to rip off people and the system and governments that are trying to help the tragically the people who have suffered from these tragedies, you will be arrested. you will be prosecuted, and we will seek maximum punishment against you. i hope that we'll have the opportunity to tell you at a later point that this warning has been heeded, that deterrence works, because if we are going to actually have this, the stability and the rebuild, it's going to be based on everyone contributing. but for those who don't want to heed this message, the warning has been cast out there and the warning will actually have teeth behind it. i'd now like

to introduce los angeles board of supervisors chair kathryn barger thank you. >> as i discussed yesterday, fema relief is essential to getting our impacted residents back on their feet today and yesterday. fema staff have been at seven county libraries plus the alhambra library, providing support to individuals who are seeking fema relief. tomorrow, these services will transition to centralized assistance centers, one at pasadena city college and the other at ucla research park. these centers will be in-person venues where all impacted individuals can receive direct support for fema's assistance program, which helps residents access lodging, essential items and other large financial.

want to thank fema for their continued support for our impacted residents. our residents need this support to begin rebuilding. and believe me, after last night's meeting that i attended with my constituents, they are desperate. so many residents i've heard from, especially those without insurance, are concerned they won't receive enough assistance to rebuild their lives on top of fema assistance, i'm going to be advocating for innovative, innovative loan and housing

solutions to bring people back to their communities. people need help, and they need to know what kind of support they're going to receive. last night i joined hundreds of impacted victims in pasadena to hear their stories, understand their needs, and to discuss what comes next. many wildfire survivors i've met, spoke and spoke with have repeatedly told me they're worried about the rebuilding process, specifically, many have mentioned that they are eager to begin clearing debris and seeing what valuable possessions survived this devastating fire. i want you to know that yesterday, the governor issued an executive order to streamline this rebuilding process. this executive order is going to make rebuilding homes easier by cutting red tape and make it as affordable and efficient as possible for our residents to clear debris. yesterday's executive order, along with the previous order to waive the requirement in

rebuilding, are two unprecedented actions that will be essential to making our community whole again. i know that our wildfire wildfire survivors want nothing more than to begin the rebuilding process, and it is our job in government to get out of the way. our neighbors deserve nothing less. to all the residents in our county, we must maintain diligence over the next few days as winds increase. again, please listen to law enforcement and their evacuation notices. and believe me, i heard last night many are frustrated. these next few days are crucial in our fighting of the existing fires and also preventing any new fires. thank you for taking it seriously. i'd now like to introduce l.a. city mayor karen bass. >> thank you.

>> supervisor angelenos. as we continue to experience the shock, the grief, and the anger, we have to stand together. and it is in that spirit that we have seen hundreds, if not thousands of angelenos traveling all around the region to deliver supplies, clothes, whatever they think might help the victims of these fires. as we've mentioned, the national weather service is predicting close to hurricane force level winds. and so we're making urgent preparations. my top priority and the priority of everyone else is to do everything we can to protect lives. as these winds approach l.a. city, firefighters and firefighters from across the county, state and nation and even overseas are in a proactive and strategic posture to save lives. firefighting resources from lafd and fire departments from all over are

positioned in strategic holding locations. dwp is deploying water tankers to augment water supply for firefighters. the emergency operations centers remain activated at the highest level to rapidly coordinate emergency response. as we prepare for more wind. we're also urgently working to provide people with much needed resources. this week, as chair, barger said, our city and county will launch in person local assistance centers that are tailored to those affected by specific fires. these local assistance centers is for angelenos impacted by the palisades and hearst fires, and they will open at the ucla research park, which was formerly known as the westside pavilion. it will operate from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. these centers will help people who have lost vital records like birth certificates, driver's

license, social security documentation. they will help people who've lost their homes or businesses apply for disaster relief loans, and they will provide referrals for mental health counseling and other services. we anticipate that there will be representation for. over city, over 20 city departments. there will be representatives from the state and federal departments and agencies later today. we are also going to be releasing policies on the city level that will help with the rebuilding process. so as we continue to go through these next few days where the fires are still a serious threat, we also want to begin to help people put their lives back together and to prepare to rebuild our city. i also want to again remind angelenos that l.a. city.gov is now a one stop shop for assistance for those who are impacted, and a place to help angelenos find a way to get involved. as the winds pick

up, please stay safe. please heed the call to evacuate should you receive that. and remember to heed all public safety guidance. thank you. thank you i'm lindsey horvath all right. >> you've been listening to officials there in l.a. giving us updates on the fires and what's ahead. they are warning this critical threat through wednesday in l.a. county. a potential additional fires and really undoing some of the containment that we've seen from the other fires, including the palisades fire and the eaton fire. um, and you heard there from the mayor, karen bass, saying that there are local assistance centers that are opening up as well in l.a. to help folks who don't have a home anymore, who don't have the critical paperwork that they need. so that briefing is continuing. but, i mean, the bottom line is there is concern for the days ahead in l.a. and the weather with the high winds, as you heard there from the mayor saying that this could be hurricane level winds as well as the dry conditions

and what that could mean. we saw what it meant last week, and those fires there continue to rage in l.a. and when we come back, i'll speak live with an altadena family who just lost their home to a fire. get this for the second time. their unbelievable story of resilience. up next. >> how'd it happen? >> she showed up dead on arrival. >> this never gets easier. >> it does when you call carshield before your car breaks down. look at these prices. the camshaft transmission engine. >> don't people know a plan through carshield could protect up to 5000 parts and systems? >> you hate to see it. >> and out of warranty card is going to break down eventually, right? >> which is why they need a plan through carshield. >> best of all, you'll get access to carshield concierge service, who can even help you find a mechanic near you. >> they're notifying the family. >> poor guy. he doesn't even know what's coming. >> another victim of senselessly expensive repair bills. can't save them all.

>> super man the christopher reeve story february 2nd on cnn. >> i want to bring in mayor of malibu, doug stewart. mayor, you are right now in the emergency operations center in malibu. you're having to deal with what's been going on since last week. and looking ahead, we just heard from those l.a. officials in that press conference that the fire threat is critical through wednesday, l.a. mayor karen bass says the city is making urgent preparations to mitigate its potential damage on top of what's already been lost. how are you preparing? >> well, we're in the same mode as they are, and we're all sharing the same resources. whether it's the fire department or the sheriff's department. in our case, uh, we've got major winds coming up. and while it's not as bad as it was a week ago, it very easily could be a repeat of what we had. if there's another

fire, it'll move quickly. so that's first and foremost on our plate is to make sure we're ready in case another fire breaks out. we also got to take care of all of our residents that have been seriously impacted by what's already happened. so we're we're in multiple stages of repair and preparation for the future. >> the question is, though, how can you be ready in case another fire breaks out? you know, we've been hearing from residents who said the city overall was underprepared, that there seemed to be a lack of resources. also, we heard from officials that there was this issue with the water not being in the hydrants because in part, the water system was not equipped to handle it. there was one reservoir that malibu relied on that was had been out of service since last february. i mean, these are not overnight fixes. so how can you be prepared for more fires? >> well, let me let me help you with this a little bit. malibu and the city of los angeles are two separate entities. we

don't have the same water system. we don't have the same fire department. we don't have the same police department. we are totally separate. and for malibu, with our los angeles county fire department and our sheriff's department was pre-positioned for this fire last week, we were we were staffed up and ready to go. and quick response by our our support people. our water system is operated by los angeles county, not los angeles city. and we have had plenty of water service. granted, there's been spots that have popped up where it could have been better, but for the most part, everybody got what they needed and it was just a case of being overrun by massive hurricane winds that, even with the best of our resources already on scene, all we could do was to to respond the best we could, where we had the resources we had the water, we had the sheriff. we were ready. >> so you were ready. so were there no issues of water not being in the fire hydrant or low water pressure there in malibu? because obviously there have been widespread reports of

that from from last week. and then there is a reservoir. my understanding is that there's of course many reservoirs you rely on, but there is one that's been out of service for many months that also services malibu now, that doesn't service malibu. >> those are two separate ones. it's almost like a bright line between the city of malibu and the city of los angeles, and the water system that you're talking about with that reservoir, with l.a. city. ours is supplied by water tanks that are separately ours and our county water district 29 is one that actually operates it. they were ready. they had the they had the tanks full and waiting, waiting for the disaster. uh, i have to tell you, we could not have been more supported by our county people. uh, supervisor barger, supervisor horvath, the sheriff. um, everyone has been ready for us. i contrast that to the city of l.a. city of los angeles. malibu was ready and did all we could to be

prepared. and that's been the story. when we had the franklin fire a few weeks ago, instead of rising to meet the head, meet the fire head on. we were actually pre-prepared. so that in in our philosophy, you roll everything and send anything back you don't need. so we had a high response from the moment that fire started. same for this one. >> all right. well, listen, we wish you the best of luck in the days ahead. and as you help, you know, those residents who are out of homes now from last week's fires a lot on your plate. malibu mayor doug stewart, we appreciate you making time for us. thank you very much. and thank you all for joining us. i'm pamela brown. you can follow me on instagram, tiktok and x at pamela brown cnn. stay with us. inside politics with dana bash starts after a short break.
