off of the ocean. so when the santa ana winds kick up, as a rule, the winds coming off the desert are hotter and they are drier. and that's what's happening tonight is they expect hurricane force winds to be pushing off of the desert. and they the humidity temperatures are in the 10 to 13 to 15% range in areas like los angeles and the pacific palisades. and that means the conditions are extraordinarily dry and dry conditions and hot winds and these kinds of high winds is very bad news. and as we have been reporting, the fire exploded late today, giving residents of pacific palisades very little time to evacuate on roads that are not only winding, but they are very narrow. the national correspondent, jeff paul, is live to show us what happened next. jeff, what are we learning and trace? >> we've both covered our fair share of wildfires out here, especially in california. but it isn't too often you sees inn

you see heavy machinery moving cars as they try to push the flames back. that is what happened in the pacific palisades crews using a bulldozer to forcibly move a lot of cars off the roads as they try to make a path to allow fire trucks to come through. cars likely a van abandoned his people evacuated and went into heavy traffic. flames fast approached and drivers grab whatever they could and left their vehicles behind. and actor best known for his role in police academy said cars only created more problem is. >> they don't leave their keys and their cars and what happens is the fire trucks, at the street and they had no ability to move them. not only cancelled their visit

today and he stuck overnight in los angeles because of the wind and president biden put out a statement saying he has been briefed on the situation offering any federal assistance needed. >> and for clary it's a bit south of the fire and he is able to move around and be away from the fire not very fun to fly in that probably just a bit of precaution and they will reevaluate in the morning as the wind get stronger tonight around 10:00 p.m. through 5:00 a.m. local time it's great to have you on the show and the highest wind is coming and with lynn

70 miles per hour idea fight fires in those conditions and quite frankly there's not much you can do in terms of suppressing them our main focus and they're attacking from the rear of the fires. i heard the gentleman talking about the wind moving southwesterly. the wind always blows out of the northeast one of the few fires we know exactly where the fire is going and where it is. many times there's not much we can do other than getting out people to attack those fires there and that's been the story of the day. >> in terms of resources what are you hearing we have clues on the scene that say there are

some neighbourhoods where they see view if any firefighters. there's not much you can do in these type of situations but how are we doing crew wise. what is to support system and why aren't they flying planes and when will that happen? >> that fire up until an hour ago was the only fire in southern california. so i would call it resource rich. i've scent helicopters and crews as have neighbouring counties they are getting a lot of resources. for why they aren't in those neighbourhoods i cannot say i'm not there and don't want to second-guess them. we just broke another fire in l.a. county as eaton canyon is us stiff area and we had

multiple fires with historic strong santa ana wind and we have three days of these. and we were and other resources pretty quick if you could britain yourself to standby for me want to talk with some residents were about to be evacuated. one is in the pacific palisades and the other in neighbouring mallow do -- malibu. nora first where you and what's the situation. >> i'm on the border and it's quite a frightening site and when you say evacuate.

>> nobody expected this and not to sound cavalier but how do you really prepare for a fire this magnitude i don't think anybody expected this fire. the wind is raging at this point in acreage or fire chief talking about it picking up in the surrounding area it's really powerful and frightening and as far as preparation i don't think anybody was prepared for the magnitude for this fire. >> trace: you are in malibu a few miles north of where nora is what's your situation surgically. >> where i am at it was at the bottom of my screen so i'm at

the top here i didn't think the fire would be a threat but i watched it come over here and i see it to canyon ridge once he gets over that ridge if it goes down i left to evacuate even though my houses all concrete concrete. i build a concrete house everything is concrete. if they tell me to evacuate i will. >> trace: what's the timeline we expect wind of hurricane force 75 miles per hour what is the timeline taking you to get safely away from where the fire direction is. >> my wife is 30 gone she is babysitting her grandson my cars pointed correctly i been in the

fires in 2007 when they were quite bad than and that a couple of times i've seen how they blow see how they ignite this which is waste decide to build the concrete house i know my way out so i'd be able to get up very quickly i won't wait until it's too late just keep my eye on it i'm also a text message back and forth with the same fire chief i was with on the fire month ago. >> or a very quickly could you tell me location as far as brentwood where you are you near the major for affair send to sandy boulevard? >> on closer to sunset boulevard but i'm also close to that so i'm sandwiched already in the

area best of luck do you keep us posted on any progress we will talk to you soon. we'll check in with matt who is on the ground the pacific palisades what did you learn? >> the city of santa monica issued a mandatory evacuation for areas north for a lawful order for everyone to leave now we've been out here several hours keeping an ion that area and there were many points were the wind was blowing that way towards santa monica and debris from the fires behind me. without being dramatic this is a very dangerous situation it goes without saying. the wind is blowing so intensely in carrying the larger embers. the fire could probably move in

any direction so if you're in any of those evacuation areas you might want to heed this morning as we saw earlier tonight embers jumped the pch landing opposite of the pacific coast highway so the threat is very real wind continues to blood covered hurricanes in florida louisiana and texas strength of the wind feels like a hurricane coming in with the initial guest a strong wind. fire crews doing their best they're letting it burn for the areas not populated we seen homes catch fire and burned to the ground and we send this door will rogers beach towards the palisades charter high school in the distance and's out in the

distance and i know a lot of people have been keeping their eyes on the high school wondering how it's doing we can't report anything from this vantage point i could tell you we seen homes and structures in the palisades area as well as the pch we saw the fire jump the pch so the fire can move in any direction the wind is not calming down and unfortunately it's a devastating fire that will likely have historic devastation attached to it. >> trace: mill get back usually more information at some point that when he talked about there is you look at the flames a lot of people are asking wired the flames so big? it's january wire flames in california what's feeding the fires the problem happens to be the weather is dry here. california is in the wake of some wet winters and in those we

had a ton of rain and it brought big time brush. and conditions had been very dry. all of the high brush has dried out and is feeling the fires which is why conditions are dangerous. getting back to the orange county fire chief talk about them and what you are telling crews as they go out what you warning them about. >> protect themselves to keep their heads on a swivel this is a historic low this santa ana wind they're all very strong this happens to be a strong one and we expect to be busy the next three -5 days were fortunate right now there's only the one fire and one new fire that broke out about an hour ago

growing quickly we get into multiple fires in southern california quite frankly we don't have the resources to provide a fire engine to every driveway so it has every potential of being a firestorm and when we haven't seen and probably about 50 years. >> trace: when you say firestorm and so you don't the resources to cover multiple fires what's the remedy and fix where you get the resources. >> we placed it and we herded earlier we have a robust mutual aid system best in the world but at some point there aren't enough resources so quite frankly we have to wait until the wind stops blowing mother nature is owning us today and probably will the next couple days. >> trace: attention when talking about mother nature as i talk to you last time before we had to go to the guests we

talked about assets and the possibility of flames coming in with fire retardant and helicopters and so forth. those haven't been brought in. is it because the wind is too high? >> fixed wing air tankers dropped retardant today a one of our helicopters was up assisting today so i know helicopters flew at length but based on what i'm seeing on the screen the wind is too strong to allow safely at night. there does come a point where aircraft is no longer safe to fly even if they could when they drop their retired and in the water it blows to the quarter-mile away doesn't reach the ground to hit the target just a big exposure. >> trace: chief thank you for your time we appreciate the information is select to you and your team's out there tonight we

appreciate what's bringing the resident of neighbouring north santa monica and a search and rescue expert and retired navy captain as well as a national correspondent jeff paul who's covering -- who's covered many fires and nose with these things can and cannot do so to you gabriel you're living a stone's throw from where they are burning right now what is your plan should this get worse. >> my appearance of evacuated but outside grew up in his right on the cusp there in their out. my cousin the palisades and others are out some just paying attention. >> trace: when you say out where they going? >> friends or at my sister's cousins and another cousin's house. >> trace: do they have somebody who can keep them kind of in the know about what's happening in their neighbourhoods and what's happening to their property is everybody staying back or getting out.

>> they're not like the rest of us. the getting the information where they can. >> do you have a timeline or location so just so people around the country no the fire started in pacific palisades a pocket of an area wealthy area right above the cliffs between santa monica and malibu and then as you go up those cliffs you run into brentwood which is off the coast in runs parallel with santa monica for some time and goes up there to the other side where you get to the mountains with malibu over there so they run concurrent let's listen in to our local affiliate fox 11 quickly. >> of rescue before.

>> you be safe as well. >> we might need to move because i can see the firefighters and the police officers already left this is new york boulevard rate in the building close to being on fire and might be before the end of the night i don't know exactly what it is what is it say here it's the pasadena tech center that's in danger right now. i know you heard of one home on fire when you major travels there did you see other homes on fire? >> no homes on fire but what we did see's large orange glow from the freeway and it was so

ominous you're like oh now this can't be good because the wind is unbelievable. we couldn't stand straight my recommendation is if you don't have to go anywhere do not driving is dangerous so much to breeze on the freeway it's horrible driving conditions. >> we broke in the programming on fox 11 so if you're joining us welcome to her coverage. all day we've been talking about the fire watched in the pacific palisades. >> trace: that's her team at fox 11 that's alex michelson they have been on a wall-to-wall

coverage in los angeles because of the fire you saw a fox 11 reporter who's in altadena that is the eaton fire just bringing in jeff paul quickly we hear that eaton fire is growing as well. >> 400 acres and what gives me concern is earlier today the palisades fire was 200 acres and then exploded. so to see the fire earlier it was around 40 acres now it's 400 and this strongest wind starting in the next hour or two continues until 5:00 a.m. i'm concerned about what the fire will do given its already 400 acres. >> when i came to work it was a little over 200 acres the only

update every few hours we haven't gotten an update we haven't done that for the better part of two and a half hours last check was for almost 3000 acres that time grew 150 plus percent it was up to around 1200 acres and grew in the better part a to a half hours it's been to a half-hour since we last were briefed there's a good possibility it's grown immensely in that amount of time we will get another update on the size of the fire until 8:00 tomorrow morning. that is after the wind comes in and that is going to be a possibly stunning update. >> if you've never been to the

pacific palisades it's curvy area twists and turns houses build on top of each other not just dangerous for the people trying to get out but trying to drop containment liens then you have the fuel houses next to houses so like flicking the ember of a cigarette goes to the next one the wind picks up and they take the embers you can see matt finn clearing his eyes out as debris and embers flying right into his in face i've been into that position it's not fun and dangerous. >> trace: it's worth noting we've gone through these fire training exercises for many years and you have to go through them once a year to make sure your current so you know how to behave what to wear where to go

and who to listen to and who not to listen to as you look at life pictures you get a better idea of the scope of the fire and how big it is. it was the pacific palisades at 200 plus acres exploding to around 200 acres then 300,000 acres and then it pushed into her close to around the santa monica border which is next to the palisades next to brentwood pushing as our previous guests told us into the brentwood area where that qa's i'm not sure they are being mandated but are requested. we bring in now search and rescue question and you know how to find resources and you know

how these things worse -- work. it can sometimes be a struggle. >> there is a discussion about the aviation side and not only that consider that the fire this intense heat the air is rising rapidly you couple that with wind the darkness in the hills in and it's exceptionally dangerous for the aircraft you can find the resources but can't deploy them safely blessing you want his helicopter's crash into the ground best thing you can do is get them in place and ready and get the water bombers full water so they start deploying resources to build fire breaks and so the fire down time is not on that side of the firefighters and it's worth explaining if you

can great if not jeff can jump in here the reason they call things firestorms is fires make their own weather. they are so hot that they create their own weather. their own vortexes and what happens is the hot air rise so fast and rapidly you strong wind coming off of the desert you have cool moist air on the water in the rapidly rising heat source it creates its own wind so wind normally 2035 miles an hour you see hurricane force wind that just comes out of nowhere all of a sudden it will knock you over. that will continue to occur and as mentioned earlier you talk about the growth in the fire and it can double in size every

period in time as it can double in size from one particular direction growing and expanding very fast. the fires can move up to around 40 miles per hour. >> trace: clearly the fires moving in different directions nobody knows about. and mainly coming east to west that capacity at shifting and moving and spreading north and south as well the comforting thing is the studio where we are his before your house. of the fire was moving this way we would've echoed before you were told to evacuate do you have things to do people need to get out what is the plan gets closer you will have time but what is the plan.

>> you sleep with one eye open and we've got family in place right it's amazing how fast it moves. >> trace: it's amazing because when you talk about that 2005 or 2003 wildfires i covered both of those in san diego and los angeles. there were dozens of fires right and thousands of homes are being consumed in the fires lasting as long as the wind lasted and win the wind died down fires were quickly eradicated but fires last like the chief was saying as long as the wind lasts because that's what it's propelling these things primarily and you think about homes burning right now that's the unfortunate reality of the situation that doing anything to protect these homes right now

only puts the firefighters and officials in danger and it's a waste of resources because like you said the real fight happens once the wind knocks down one thing i want to bring up was the order from sanded molina cut is a mandatory order. it's north of san vicente. i live in santa monica not too far away from their and it's getting close to home. >> trace: and when i talk about the fires the past few years the firefighters have to up neighbourhoods because they conflated because thousands of homes were burning once they would primarily catch fire they would protect the rest of the homes because they couldn't they would go to the next neighbourhood and play defence there and he kept going for days there many similarities to military tactics the firefighters they are the ones

out there on the front lines and at some point they have to say if i try to put this fire out in this location can get my resources there i won't be able to do i need to make that judgement call which is painful and some neighbourhoods to know that a house has to be sacrificed but in order to save 90% of the city here's where we set our line we have time to set up this line in fireworks setting up an area depriving the fire of its fuel so that point makes the fire slower and firefighters need that time to set up barriers and let's go back to the scene and check in with matt is there no information you're getting there. >> i don't have new information for you but to set the scene for people home and staying next to the pacific ocean rate there and you could hear the waves if you're to drop me here right now in the door can say are you

covering the hurricane or a fire event i would say or hurricane because the wind is blowing so strong and the wind near the ocean is chilly but then there's the heat in the fire like that and rate now flame is continuing to burn near the pacific palisades because it's night it's hard to tell damage and destruction happening in front of our eyes we see structures and homes burned to the ground earlier today now that the sun is set we can only see the glare as well and glow from the flames but for the past couple hours we see in large numbers and debris blowing and you wonder where it will land and what made that spark. when you hear about these evacuations expand it's a very serious threat it's one of the

worst recipes for a fire tonight strong embers blowing in the wind and a fire line expanding fire cruise not having much of this contained right now. >> trace: zero containment we didn't expect that obviously and when they get to five or 6% you see the numbers they seem small and it's actually significant when talking about fires like this and you hear containment numbers five or six or 7% it seems tiny but significant they have to put a line around the fire to get to around a hundred percent so when you hear that containment means have a good handle on whatever fire happens to be burning at that time and you might say, hey, i'm not going to have this done for two and a half days sleeve make the determination how fire will -- how far will the fire travel in

that time. those firefighters take no joy in sacrificing a neighbourhood or homes for the greater good. it's our decision that has to be made and they will do the best they can they will do what they can to get the top of that curve and maximum amount of a city that can be saved in the least amount of time and they use the word sacrifice multiple times not about sacrificing anything but at some point thousands of had to make that decision tonight you get the family and pets out first beyond that is there anything worth taking her thanks you need to take what is on the list that really needs to come out is a pictures or videos what is in your list. >> my friends lester home in the mid-90s in the malibu fires so from there set up what do they take its passports and birth

certificates anything that can't be replaced as well stay when i'm bringing into florida g.o.p. chairman and we brought them into talk about politics we have different issues that are paramount right now so we will stick on this barton should only just because from california and he lived many years in california knows it well when you see fires like this they tell us by the way this isn't fire season in california it runs from late june all the way through late november or early december this is not fire season but the conditions are prime for a fire right now what is your mind to go to three. >> is heartbreaking and i live

right near the ronald reagan library had been evacuated a couple times with how close the fires of come. at this time we do not expect these type of fires but as californians especially those who have lived here all are lives we do prepare for these and the bigger sense and what's you been evacuated or you're an area where they have to turn down the power to make sure people stay safe these are things you do plan and prepare for so photo albums make sure you digitalized things. some things can't be replaced for me it's blankets my grandmother crocheted for me those are things you want to go place you want to make sure you take your safe with you thanks you plan out as californians it's unfortunately a part of life here. >> trace: and if you can hear me it's interesting to me that even in the midst of this fire

their homes burning, yeah, gavin newsom coming in and yet in news conference there held which was a obligatory take a swipe at president trump thing and politics never really leaves the arena i guess. >> nobody cares if you're republican or democrat at this moment but you need to make sure emergency services you go to the website there they have a tribute to president carter up there you got tens of thousands who don't know where they gonna sleep tonight and this fire was foreshadowed with hundred mile-per-hour wind. they need to be better prepared for that go to red cross right now no information up there you have hospitals that will potentially have to be evacuated

the people displaced out of their grown homes and a homeless population that has anointed where to go firefighters fighting their way up to get to the fire itself do whatever containment they can possibly do and people he stayed in their homes too long that need to be evacuated. it's all hands on deck god bless the men and women who put their lives on the line to save people it's a desperate situation and i've been for that i lived in southern california and i was chief of staff to a governor where you role-play these type of things to see what you would do and it's about as bad as it gets. >> trace: we aren't out to take political slights here but you need to plan. california you know the conditions you know when the vegetation gets hot and conditions are dry you will have problem's on your hand's when you have 70 mile-per-hour wind.

the littlest spark starts a big fire and it's been hundreds of years since anybody has proved that erie wrong. >> omega help from orange county hellfire is always on top of these types of things they are phenomenal with this and again seen structures it's painful. many things can be replaced lives can't that's where they focus on way they make sure to save those lies first and you talked about this a little earlier the basis on d of enough people to be able to get into the situation and safely get out of the situation that's a big concern with her firefighters do they go in with enough resources and backup did do the job appropriately and get out safely and the logistics of getting

people into one place is a challenge in and of itself does it mean every single firefighter will converge on los angeles county know because they could be fires other places so at any given time you say if i'm up in the bay area i know i have this much resources i will send half of my guys down there were some supply liens to help because it could go on potentially for several days at the least. so bring them in and coordinate them where they get their water and where they sleep at night that's a massive undertaking it's not something to be underestimated it's an exceptional challenge no fire situations are ever the same those emergency management folks and supervisors staff are working overtime to make sure they're in the right place mistakes are made because were all humans but they're doing the best they can.

>> is no time for monday morning quarterbacking it's all hands on deck situation we hope all the hands do well and save lives and put fires up but there's always consequences in the end and somebody is going to grade this response sometime the grades are beneficial other times they are detrimental. >> it's all about saving lives and making sure people get to a safe place as soon as possible and you need to have discussions out there and do they take out the underbrush and did they do mitigation plans that should have been put out of place you like out there and you say, hey, you didn't take these actions in advance but again these fires happen year after year after year not nearly as bad as this one you live in southern california you know how bad these get these type of things do happen in southern california close

proximity a lot of vegetation but boy when it does happen you need to be able to get people into a safe place getting them out of harm's way and move people and resources and be able to communicate everybody is trying to communicate and then nobody can communicate as a consequence which is a devastating equation for what's going on right now. >> when ellen case cbs the cbs affiliate in los angeles and if we can can we turn the volume up and listen i'm not sure who this is we just want to listen in for a few seconds here. >> trace: you hear the voices and you listen to firefighters walking back-and-forth and

people are trying to orchestrate different ways to attack these fires from different sides and for those just joining us it is important to note that it's 11:30 9:00 on the east coast 11:30 9:00 in south carolina where the fires are burning there's two major fires burning in the los angeles area this one you are looking at is specifically in the palisades an upscale area near the ocean sandwiched between santa monica and malibu as well as brentwood on the east and the north and the palisades has been evacuated now. there some 15,000 buildings and structures in danger. we know many of them have been lost. we don't have a number but it's clearly in the dozens by the morning it might be in the hundreds and we also know some 30,000 residents and quite

frankly palisades doesn't have many more residents so it's pretty much the whole area let's listening quickly here. >> too many fires burning to get to all of them. so this is what we are listening i will send it back to you in a still standing but i'm sure it won't be much longer until it does fall. thank you for your coverage and from the west valley will we give you a live look from the santa monica cameron the flames in the distance closures are in place because of the fire the southbound pch at canyon wrote south bound at the pane got and sheron rode it stemmed road southbound tuna canyon road at

saddle peak road old topanga canyon road road and l.a. sd closure those are the closures and face because -- in place because of the fire according to the chp west valley division road closures obviously so if you don't need to be in this area there's no need to be in the idea of evacuation orders is to get out. before we get to our next reporter as there is people on social who wanted coverage on the each and fire we do have a crew there they just broke down because they got dangerously close to flames. so while they make their way to get to a safer location we are covering the palisades fire. >> trace: just dipping into our affiliate from across the street in los angeles they've been on the air all night long talking about the eaton fire and for those who don't know it's in the pasadena area for all

intents and purposes close to the roseville it's in the pasadena area and lasts check and it was at 400 acres starting off an hour and a half ago at 5s that was at last check and could be bigger now the palisades fire started off at a couple hundred acres then we were told it was 260 acres an hour later and 200 hours laker later it was 246 acres and then it was 2900 plus acres that's the last update we got that was by all accounts free hours ago so at this speed with the fires increasing 100% every few hours that fires significantly bigger you see the damage right here and the homestead a burnt and you go through these neighbourhoods you see home after home after foam on multimillion dollar homes it's

rubble. and it's in the high dozens. it might be the low hundreds or higher hundreds by the morning we simply don't know. were bringing in our first responder correspondent and as you look at the images if you can in the numbers of evacuations and the wind being what we expected it to be in the overnight hours what is the first thing you think of what does the area need. >> it needs people to listen to local officials you need to grab your things and go know the folks in california are used to these fires but sometimes they seem to get worse. no fire is good but don't wait to see if it gets better or worse at the fire officials tell

you to evacuate and evacuate having said that that he waiting is a simple as getting in your car and driving. for some folks it is instead a cutting fire lanes on the side of the mountain we need to cut a path up to residential fires to get the apparatus up there think about people with mobility issues and those in a nursing home in such all those evacuations require ems and ambulances and those are supposed interact which is part of what you know unified command is. the unified command system set up every first responder takes when they get into the business to figure out how to manage these incidents. a lot of moving parts going on listen to local officials at they tell you to evacuate have a comms plan communication sometimes go down so it's important as a communication plan somebody outside of

california different state if you lose comms particularly if you're leaving those type of things some tents moments it looks like. >> you may talked earlier about trying to get older people evacuated from the nursing homes and so on and because earlier we saw a live picture of a woman trying to evacuate her horse some of these things are tricky in these areas like in the pasadena area with more land and higher horse populations to get them out of their while the palisades you're talking about dogs and cats when talking about evacuating pets and putting them in certain places that can get to be tricky. >> that's number 1 reason people don't leave in my experience people don't want to leave their pets behind.

understandable and win the shelters open there shelters a don't take pets serrated cross and the folks of emergency management there they have shelters designated to take pets so there's always somewhere for you to go if you have a pet and did need leave. just grab what you can and get out of there. listen to what the emergency managers and fire officials say anything to add to that because it's interesting we see in hurricanes all the time where people decide to stay. hurricanes you can't always see what's coming at you but in these types of situations there are decisions which have to be made and people make them not swiftly enough so you need to be a place which is safe the fires close you need to get out of there if you give yourself time

to plan you can navigate you can get all those vital things. phone charger and at that point now you can actually communicate gonna communicate somebody else in a safe area saying them here in allied this is worm going to be if they're trying to find folks who were missing and unaccounted for taking come to where you are. it's a process but time is your friend. >> and whether it's politics or whatever sometimes emotions take over for logic and you do something you wouldn't normally do. >> we were watching and we could hear a different stuff in her ear over here one person was looking at a beautiful home burning down and he said what sad is that somebody's dream there and you understand the emotions to take over what you really want to do to make sure you stay safe and get safe most
