down the street abandon you hear vehicles. dying on the road. it was just. it was just utter panic. this satellite image of the area around paradise shows just how devastating the raging inferno has been. much time i just. read. through a couple things in it but i didn't have time to get any variable in southern california thousand oaks is a city still reeling from wednesday night's match shooting because of the wildfires that emergency services continue to work around the clock i know that firefighters from various agencies including our fire department interact county have slept in the streets overnight to keep an eye on fires embers making sure that there are no additional homes burning or any other property to happen

the least well you mention the forecast and the winds are expected to pick up again and you also say it's going to be hard for the firefighters but what does that mean for all the thousands of evacuees. well right now it's not looking very very good there some evacuation orders in south the notes and in the san fernando valley just south of los angeles there in the fire near malibu that have been lifted so there is some good news but unfortunately that can change on a dime so fischler saying if you're going to go home don't get too comfortable because we might have to yank you back out again so fire crews can get in there and help protect the structures and jason can mentone reporting for us from los angeles on those california wildfires we thank you for that. thank you.
