winds fueling a fast moving wildfire that's burning out of control right now in the l.a. neighborhood of pacific palisades. it's said to be growing several football fields per minute. the flames already burning scores of homes and is threatening 13,000 other structures. the situation so dire, many people had to abandon their vehicles and continue on foot. california governor gavin newsom issuing a state of emergency. and 30,000 people are currently under mandatory evacuation orders. the fire quickly exploded to 3000 acres in pacific palisades, which is located between santa monica and malibu. at the same time, there is now a second fire to the southeast that's in the pasadena and altadena neighborhoods of la. the worst is still yet to come, with winds expected to pick up over the next few hours. more than 250 lafd firefighters, in addition to firefighters from neighboring agencies, are battling the flames, fire officials saying the palisades fire is at zero containment.

but thankfully, so far, no reports of injuries or deaths. there are reports of widespread power outages. also, internet connectivity issues are spreading across the city right now. let's go ahead and bring in former los angeles county sheriff alex villanueva. sheriff villanueva, thank you for joining us again. quickly. we are hearing that there is now a possibly a third fire, the sylmar fire, and there are some evacuations in place for that. can you tell us anything about that? >> yes, that's about where the 210 meets the five freeway north northwest corner of la county. and that adds to the to the misery, so to speak, because you have the eaton canyon fire, which is due east of this palisades fire. so you have three fires going now and you have the weather conditions. the topography is there, and all the conditions are right for making a very long night for our first responders. >> right now, with this third

fire now now occurring, what are first responders doing at this point or what can they do? i mean, you've got three different areas. we heard earlier that they were sending out calls to anyone and everyone with firefighting experience that could maybe just come in and start helping. >> yeah, this is the one. the problem is bigger than the amount of resources you have to fix it. so you're going to use the resources you have to protect structures. you're not going to be able to get a containment around the fire, because it's just too far out of control at this point. so the best you can do is evacuate, save lives and prioritize. and then when you can, you know, do protection of structures where it's possible and you're not going to risk your personnel. but once areas have been evacuated and as part of the containment area will then it's in the hands of the lord right there. >> you know, all of the people that are under these evacuation orders, you know, some are mandatory, some are just being warned. hey, you may have to get out quick. what should they

be doing right now to prepare? >> if you're in the in a voluntary evacuation area, take stock of what you have. if you have homebound people disabled, whatever the case may be, and they cannot evacuate quickly. if you have horse property and horses and farm animals, obviously they can be evacuated quickly. go. heed the warning. get out of the area. clear up the roadway. that way, when the evacuations come, there's less people on the roadway competing with first responders who are trying to go in the opposite direction. as what we saw happen in the palisades and in in the canyons. >> you know, we also talked about earlier, you know, these widespread power outages, what should people be doing right now to either prepare for that or to deal with that? >> recognize if you're anywhere near the impact area, it's going to happen so you can count your electricity at some point going to be either deliberately shut down by

southern california edison or dwp, or it might be because, you know, poles get damaged and cell phone towers same thing. you're going to lose a lot of reception with cell phones, so they become inoperable. so you're going to have to rely on the old fashioned way and do business that way. but if you're in the area, i just kind of urge people, get out of there. life is more important than property and go to the areas that you can evacuate safely to stay there and wait till the situation is. so we say code for that. you can then repopulate the area. but this is going to this is going to be a few days before that's going to happen. >> and you know, we also talked about the potential internet outages that are going on across the city. you know, how are people going to get information if, say, the internet goes down? >> well, we have the emergency alert system and that one does a basic broadcast over the radio. and if your power is down, your vehicle has a radio still, hopefully not the newer

models that still has an in am and fm button. you can get information through there if all else fails. and so this is a good time to have those provisions. look at what do you have in your earthquake preparation kit. it's the same stuff. you know, water, basic food supplies, flashlight, a battery operated radio, for example, so you can receive updates and all that. but most importantly, if it's that dire, you're going to see a first responders are going to be fired. it's going to be law enforcement with bullhorns going through there, and they're going to try with with cell phone blasts as well. but those sometimes don't work. they're going to go they're going to be driving through all the streets telling people to get out. and that's what happened this afternoon. >> yeah. and from a law enforcement perspective, what do you think the main priority is right now? just getting these folks out of there, out of those evacuation areas and to shelters? >> yes, that's priority number one. get people out of harm's way. and then at the same time, they're out of harm's way. it

makes the job of the fire folks a lot easier, because now they all have to worry about is what they can do to minimize the spread of the of the wildfire. you know, obviously, depending on the weather conditions, that's a tall order right now. >> what what do you think it's going to look like tomorrow when the sun comes up? what are the challenges going to be, and what do you think first responders are going to be focusing on the most? >> that's a that's i've been pondering that myself. and when the sun comes up tomorrow, la is going to look substantially different than it did yesterday, and people are going to have to come to grips that they're going to have to rebuild. and we lost an entire school. altadena. you had a senior center where they evacuated the senior citizen, you know, huddled in blankets, getting them out of the way of the fire and the push of the fire in the wind is just relentless. so it's going to alter the landscape of la for sure. >> yeah. and as you were speaking, we popped up that right now there are 200,000 plus people without power in la

county. so i'm sure there are a lot of folks out there right now trying to prepare and figure out what their plan is going to be. sheriff villanueva, thank you so much. we will come back to you. but for now, i think we want to go ahead and join our local fox affiliate, kttv, who they've had continuing coverage all day as this fire. all three fires have progressed. we're going to go to them now. >> completely engulfed. yeah. >> completely engulfed. we are watching all of these homes on del rey avenue and woodland road in pasadena go up in flames. they are complete loss. we had pasadena police officers driving down the street, you know, telling all of the people in the community, those who are left and there are some people who are still here to evacuate, to leave immediately. it's an order. but there's a gentleman down the street who refuses to leave. he just does not want to leave his house. but you can see this entire neighborhood has been just wiped out,

devastated. and the fire just keeps moving on down. now, earlier, the owner of this house right here, which is on fire and it's a complete loss. he came by and he just broke down and started saying no, no, no and was crying. it was just a really sad situation for him. really sad to see him so heartbroken that his home of however many years is now gone. and unfortunately, this is what so many people will be coming home to because this neighborhood, there are multiple homes that are just gone. earlier we spoke with a fire official. this is what he had to say. and on this street we're seeing how many homes. my goodness. >> several. several. and we're losing more. and so we have limited resources. we're trying to get all the resources we can into this area, but we're doing

the best we can. >> have you ever dealt with these type of winds? >> it hasn't been like this since i've been here, since the woolsey fire. that's the last time i saw winds like this. >> yeah, i know that some folks, you know, never want to leave their homes because, you know, it's their it's their home. it's where they live. they love their place. yes. your advice? >> i would advise them to leave the area, evacuate the area and let us, you know, do our jobs. we don't want to have to contend with the fire and contend with, you know, having to deal with people who won't leave. we, you know, we understand the fact that this is their homes and that they are, you know, they're really trying to protect everything that they have. but it's dangerous for them. >> and it's moving so fast. very dangerous indeed. and one of the things he also said was that when i asked him, what would you like to say to the homeowners who've lost their properties, he said, you know, we're doing our very best. and

that's what we have been watching these firefighters work so hard, so many different agencies here. there's pasadena fire, la county fire, cal fire as well. and again, this neighborhood right here we are on del rey avenue and woodland road in pasadena. and a lot of these homes, they're just it's just devastating. marla. alex, there's no other way for me to describe it because they're going up in flames. there's a lot of structure protection that's going on. but as you can see with these winds and these embers, they're flying everywhere. they spark up another flame. and with the trees, you know, some of them are actually dry. we haven't had a lot of rain. and so it's just it's not a good it's not a good thing. it's quite a battle for these firefighters. >> no it's horrible. we haven't had rain measurable rain really since may. and we're now that was in 2024. we're now in 2025.

so they're dealing with the dry conditions. and then of course as it relates to the palisades fire all the vegetation out there as well. all right gina, you stay safe. we'll continue to check in with you. >> let's talk more about the palisades fire, where ed laskos has been reporting. i don't know if we have his picture we can go to. we're right by the palisades villages, which is owned by rick caruso. who? rick caruso joins us now live on the phone. rick, thanks so much for being with us. what do you know? what are you seeing in terms of your property tonight? >> well, hi, alex, thanks for covering this so well, listen, it's a disaster to the hundredth degree. it's beyond anything i think any of us could have ever imagined. but my heart goes out, obviously, to the people with their homes. and i'm watching the small businesses around us go up in flames. you know, this is people's livelihoods. so it's

devastating. but what is most concerning to me is our first responders and our firefighters who are trying to battle this. there's no water in the palisades. there's no water coming out of the fire hydrants. this is an absolute mismanagement by the city. it's not the firefighters fault, but it's their city. and i'm going to be very honest. we've got a mayor that's out of the country, and we've got a city that's burning and there's no resources to put out fires. so if you look at your pictures, you don't see the firefighters there because there's nothing they can do. and it looks like we're in a third world country here, and we've got a lot of tough questions that we need to ask the mayor and the city council and our representatives and the county representatives. why didn't you work to mitigate this? what was your brush mitigation program? i heard you earlier talking about it's been dry because there hasn't been rain. that's not the biggest

problem here. the brush up in these hills that are controlled by the city and the county. i would bet you that they haven't been. handled, mitigated, pruned, removed for probably 30 or 40 years. this was a disaster waiting to happen. and what's predictable is preventable. and who's paying the price. are all of these people in their homes and their businesses tonight? now we'll rebuild. but the majority of this community is going to have a tough time rebuilding their lives. and again, you don't have water. you can't put out fires. and i'm going to spend a lot of time in the coming days and weeks and months asking some really tough questions. and i hope all of you in the press do the same and start holding our officials accountable to run this city in a way that keeps people safe. >> you are listening to rick caruso, of course, businessman

and developer, and this is a live look from near his property in the palisades village. your property at this point has been saved, and i certainly understand that your heart is first and foremost with the small businesses and the homeowners who have lost their homes. have you been actively in touch with lafd? have you been out there? i don't suspect you have, given that it's such a dangerous area. but bottom line question is, have you talked to lafd about the firefight and potential protection to your property? >> we've been in communications with them on an ongoing basis all day long, and our senior team has been in touch with l.a. fire. i think l.a. fire is going above and beyond trying to manage this fire. i have nothing but praise to say for the fire department of l.a. and the county, but their hands have been tied, and they can't fight a fire without water and the resources that are needed. everybody knew these winds were coming. the other question has

to be, you know, were all the things in place to try to, you know, again, mitigate the damage here? but the real issue to me is twofold. we've had decades to go remove the brush in these hills that spread so quickly. and the second is you've got to have water. and my understanding is the reservoir was not refilled in time and in a timely manner to keep the hydrants going. so that's a failure, whether on dwp's part or another city agency. but this is basic stuff. this isn't high science here, and it's all about leadership and management that we're seeing a failure of. and all of these residents are paying the ultimate price for that. >> that isn't that was going to be. my next question is why aren't why isn't there water in the fire hydrants? that doesn't make any sense. >> you're right. it's a good question and i think you should start asking, why don't you call the mayor who's out of the country and ask her and get an

answer from her? >> well, they say she's on her way back, and that that would be a great question to ask her tomorrow. if she's at this briefing at 8:00 in the morning, because i think there's a lot of people that are outraged by that fact tonight when they look at scenes like this, at businesses that people have worked really, really, really hard to build and homes that people's entire livelihoods are going up in flames tonight. so for you watching this and seeing those flames this close to your property is it describe how you're feeling. because there's it seems like there's almost nothing you can do. just hope to be lucky, right? >> there's nothing i can do, alex. there's nothing i can do. and the thing that hurts me the most on this is the majority of the businesses in the palisades village are small businesses. the majority of the businesses in the palisades village and our project are women owned, independent small businesses. now we're going to help them get rebuilt. we're going to

help them get reopened and get them back on their feet like we did through covid. but the impact is just going to be in the tens and tens of billions of dollars. and i don't know, i'm just really at a loss for words on this. i'm so deeply angered that this can happen in our great city. and i just i pray for everybody that's out there and certainly the people on the front lines, because there's no containment yet. so we don't even have control of this thing. >> well, and not only that, rick, but we've got a fire now in sylmar, which is going to divert more resources out there. plus, you know, all the people that are dealing with the fire out in altadena. so there's only so many places that fire crews can go. even when you start having cal fire and all the crews from around the state and around the country coming here, there's only so many places. but if they don't have water, it doesn't matter because there's nothing they can do, which is

which is your bottom line point to begin with. but but the important news is you and your family are all safe, right? >> you know, thank god we're safe. my daughter lost her home up in palisades, which is obviously devastating. so we feel the pain of people losing their homes. and it was devastating to her and her boyfriend. but you know what? we're together. we're safe. we had dinner together tonight. we had dinner with our pastor and we said our prayers. how thankful we are. we're together as a family, so i hope everybody is safe because the rest of this can be rebuilt. but it doesn't take away the pain. >> how is she doing? and she was able to obviously get out in time. but but how is that whole thing been for her? >> it's terrible, you know. i mean, you know what it's like, right? it's just it goes to your heart and it goes to your soul. it's just terrible. and her neighbors, friends and her, you know, her friends up there lost their homes and they were part of a community. this is a community. and it's a family

community. it's a beautiful community up there. it's just devastated. >> we're so sorry to hear that about your daughter and the loss that you have endured. any final thoughts before we let you go? >> you know, my thought is i'm grateful to you and everybody in the press that's covering this, and i, i hope you get to the bottom of a lot of what happened here. and i'm going to do whatever i can to lean in and help rebuild this community, because it's a really beautiful, great community. so god help all of us. and god bless the people on the front lines tonight. keep them safe. >> well, rick, thank you for watching. and please pass on our love to your daughter gigi and her boyfriend chase. and i know she's worked so hard to build a business and was so proud of that house. and i feel for her and everybody that's lost their house tonight. and let's hope that the village continues to stand as it is right now. you've built so much, so many places that people love to go to. and let's

hope that this great monument in pacific palisades stands. rick caruso, real estate developer. thank you. former candidate for mayor. potential future candidate for mayor or governor. we appreciate you calling in tonight. >> all right. >> thank you both. take care. >> thank you very, very much. >> all right. if you're just joining us, this is our continuing coverage of the devastating wildfires burning right now in southern california. so far, 200,000 plus people are without power. there are reports of internet outages as well. thousands of people are under evacuation orders at this time. we were just listening to our local fox affiliate, kttv, and we want to bring former los angeles county sheriff alex villanueva back in. sheriff, i'm not sure if you heard, but we were just listening to rick caruso, a businessman, former mayoral candidate. for those that don't know, he was saying that there is no water in the hydrants in pacific palisades. have you heard this? and if so, what are

your thoughts on this? >> i had not heard that. but if that is the case, then the question goes to be, well, what is powering or pressurizing the system? is it relying on a system that is vulnerable to the encroachment of fires? so that is a vulnerability that obviously this if that's the case that this fire was able to exploit. hence the no pressure in your water. but i also heard someone else recently said, oh, i'm just going to leave the faucet on of my hose and i leave the house. and if everyone does that, they were advocating for that. and that is a horrible thing to do, because if everybody turns on their water, it's going to drop the pressure on the main lines, which means your fire hydrants are not going to be working anymore. so please don't do that. leave the water pressure for the firefighters. >> interesting. you know, another thing that that rick caruso pointed out, he said that a lot of this that he's seeing is due to mitigation issues like that. you know, the brush should have been trimmed back. there should have been things put in place to prevent

something like this from spreading so fast and so far. what are your thoughts on that? >> well, definitely, you have 30 years of rains and in the growth of the underbrush. and if you don't have the mitigation efforts, if you don't have that defensible space between your property and the wild lands, these the interface between the urban and the wildland, you're going to get these horrific outcomes. and you have to clear your brush. that defensible space of the fire department talks about is also important. and it's just not chopping things down. and i have a hillside property myself. i'm in a high fire danger area and we had to haul out everything we chopped down and scrape it down to the basically the bare ground. so we create that defensible space and a lot of lazy people, they just chop down the brush and leave it there. but then all you're doing is leaving the fuel on the ground. so that i agree definitely with mr. cruz. so we need to have a better mitigation for these type of

hazards. >> so what needs to happen then in the future? how can they you know, who needs to take responsibility and say, let's get this fixed so that the next time something like this happens, it's not so devastating. >> this is at the city level. and in fact, in our city in la habra heights now, southern california edison is surveying to bury the power lines, which is an important measure to prevent obviously sparking of lines. and the same thing every year. may 1st is the annual brush clearance date. and they do inspections on every single property in the heights to make sure that the brush is cleared and then they charge the owner if you don't clear your brush. i don't know if the city of la has that aggressive of a program, but they need to adopt it because it does work. >> yeah, it sounds like something like that would definitely have helped in a situation like this. earlier we were talking about all these folks that are under mandatory evacuation. some people are under recommended evacuation

orders. what should they be doing right now to prepare and make sure that that they and their families are taken care of? >> if you're in the mandatory get out, really, you don't have a whole lot of time and grab the essentials and leave. if you're in the voluntary area one, you got to pay attention to the weather conditions. any alerts that your local ems system is going to put out there, and the emergency alerts to evacuate and pack your things. have them ready to go. pack your car with, you know, all the p's, which is the pets, your prescriptions, your papers, your passports, photographs, the things that can't be replaced, that you can carry with you and the house, the you know, all the other things, the clothing, appliances that can all be replaced. but what can't be replaced are your memories, your purse, your person, your pets, and your memories. so that's the stuff you want to focus on and leave when it comes time to leave. and if you have loved ones that are homebound or there's some disability that you can't move

easily, get them out with a volunteer with a voluntary evacuation. don't wait for a mandatory one. that way you free up the roads for first responders. >> you know, we talked about earlier, you know, not just the power outages, but these possible internet outages. how are people going to, you know, get the necessary emergency information they need? >> well, with as long as they have some cell phone coverage, they can get the updates on their phones themselves and the old fashioned way, if they don't get it is you're going to see a law enforcement, lapd, the sheriff's department. they'll be running through neighborhoods with their pa systems on their radio cars, telling people, get out, get out, and don't stay behind and become part of the problem, because now the your fire folks, they need to try to, you know, fight the fires and withhold, you know, push back against the encroachment and all these other residential areas. if they're doing rescues, well, then that means they're not fighting fires. so you become part of the problem.

and please, if it's time to evacuate, leave. you can always come back later on when the coast is clear. >> absolutely. very good advice, sheriff. thank you so much for being back with us again and we will come back to you. fire officials are saying that the palisades fire is so far at zero containment. thankfully, so far, there are no reports of any injuries or deaths, though. and again, as we said earlier, reports of widespread power outages, some internet connectivity issues also being reported. now we want to go to fox news contributor deroy murdock. deroy, are you with us? >> yes, i'm right here. >> you know, you went to high school in pacific palisades and we've been showing pictures all night. that high school is now gone. what can you tell us about how you're feeling right now? and you said you had spoken to friends of yours also. >> i had yeah. well, just to be clear, i'm not in pacific palisades. i'm here in fox headquarters in new york city,

far, far away from the destruction and devastation out there. but certainly the emotional pain that they're feeling. and i'm feeling as well, looking back at all my fond memories of being at palisades high school, class of 1982, and looking back at all the wonderful things that my friends and i experienced at that time, and getting these reports that the school is either i don't know if it's partially or largely or completely destroyed at this point. so it's been a very painful evening for me, even at a distance. and yes, you asked if i've been in touch with some of my old friends and i, my old friend michael guterman. as a matter of fact, i met him the very first day of junior high school. i've known him since the first day of seventh grade back in 1976. we go back 48 years now, and he emailed me about the situation out there. he said, we've had all of this devastation, but the strong winds don't start until 10 p.m. local time, about an hour and a half ago. and in fact, the weather report is gusts are going to be kicking up to about 63mph. and of course, the more wind you have, the more these fires get propelled, the more destruction you've got. and he also said too windy for

aircraft to drop water, and firemen can't fight it with water as it is futile. so these flames are just carrying on with very little to stop them, even more wind to propel them. and as we heard earlier, very little water pressure. and when you've got a fire this big and the flames covering such a huge area, even if the firefighters are out there with with the fire hoses, you know, it's a bit like trying to fight a, you know, fight a great white shark with a shrimp fork. you know, you're not going to get very far. so i really what we need to have here is for the winds to die down tomorrow and hopefully get some ability to get this under control. right now, this is 0% contained. unfortunately. >> yeah. and these high winds, i mean, up to 80mph are expected in some places are just carrying these embers. i mean, they're just being spread far and wide. we're now hearing there's a third fire in sylmar, california, evacuations in place there for folks in that area. so, you know, you've got people who are just suddenly getting the news that they've got to get out quick. i don't know if you've spoken to any of

your your friends who might be here and might be going through that, but it's a very serious situation. >> it is. i've got a couple of friends who live in the palisades. i've contacted them to see where they are, if they've evacuated, what their situation is, i've not heard back from them, so i'm hoping that they're okay and hoping i hear, hear some news from them that it's positive news, at least that they're safe. but as you say, this started off this evening with a fire in the palisades, then altadena and pasadena, now one in sylmar. you mentioned these embers carrying the devastation all the way across pacific coast highway. you know, all the way onto will rogers beach. you think if you're on the beach, everything will be okay? apparently, some of the lifeguard stations were hit by embers, caught fire and burned. imagine you're just feet away from from the pacific ocean and you still have fires bringing down lifeguard towers, even right there, right? just feet away from the surf. really? quite. and that's a surreal situation. >> yeah. that is an interesting point, because i think a lot of folks like i live, you know, 15 miles from the nearest

evacuation line right now. and, you know, we keep talking about how oh, that's you know, that's far away. but when you're talking about super high winds like this carrying these embers, i mean, it can literally go anywhere, absolutely anywhere. >> and, you know, this has gone from the palisades, i believe the evacuation has gone into santa monica, into brentwood and of course, altadena going to pasadena. and if these winds continue throughout the night and even into tomorrow, you know, this could be going in, as you say, in almost any, any direction. and these winds are going at 60, 70, 80mph. you know, imagine just a hurricane, winds without the without the sort of, i guess negative as far as fire goes, factor of having rain and moisture. these are super, super dry with, you know, 5% humidity or something like that, super dry winds kicking up these fires and just getting them going apparently at the, at the at the speed of something like four football fields per minute. i mean, just try to visualize that. so it is really, really terrifying

situation going on right now. >> yeah. terrifying indeed. deroy murdock, thank you so much for joining us again. and we will come back to you. right now we want to go ahead and go back to our local fox affiliate for live continuing coverage with them as well. we'll listen in quickly. >> that's we see going on tonight. so again keep all that in mind for the next several days. but the worst of the winds strongest winds last until about 9:00 tomorrow morning guys. >> all right adam, thank you so much. it's the bottom of the hour 1130. this is typically when i have said good night, la to you after our 30 minute final newscast of the night, but our coverage does continue tonight, of course, because of not one, not two, but three fires that are burning. our focal point has been on the palisades fire all afternoon since this one. this is a live picture from our santa monica cam. since this fire erupted at 1030 this morning. so 13 hours ago we've been live with you wall to wall coverage. then

there's the eaton fire in altadena that has grown to 400 plus acres, and then the hurst fire in sylmar. that started off at about a 50 acre fire. that one has burned to about 100 acres tonight. >> so we are now in our 13th hour of coverage of these multiple fires burning. and the really scary part is, the worst of it is potentially still to come, with the winds overnight expected to be even worse than what we have seen today. and that is why we keep seeing fires popping up throughout southern california. let's hope we have seen the last of them, but unfortunately it is likely not the last of them. which makes this even more complicated because it becomes a bit of a whack a mole situation, and you only have so many resources and you can't put them all in one place because other fires could start to pop up. our crews have been around southern california all day long doing extraordinary work in very difficult

circumstances, and that continues late into the night. we will be with you for several more hours, at least as we try to get through this situation together. a reminder as well that you can watch our coverage not only on tv, but on the fox local app if you have to evacuate your home, if you lose power, if you're out of the area or out of sorts, and you want to get information. fox local app search for it. in any app store, it's free. you can stream all of our coverage and all of our coverage today is commercial free as well. >> all afternoon we were lucky to report no injuries, but that changed tonight. when this happened. an lafd firefighter was hurt tonight battling the palisades fire. here she is. this happened near bowdoin street and villa de la paz. it's a 25 year old lafd firefighter, a female lafd says she sustained a serious head

injury. she was treated there at the scene, loaded onto this flatbed truck before she was taken to a hospital for more evaluation and treatment. now, we spoke to the person who shot this video, a freelance journalist, sal hirsch, with tnla. >> i'm not exactly sure what agency that that firefighter was with, but they put out a mayday call. apparently, she may have had some sort of blow to the head and she was in unknown condition, so we were just right down the street filming some of the destruction that that ensued prior to that incident. and we got there pretty quick, and we saw cal fire crews, as well as some lafd personnel lifting her on a, you know, on a, on a thing. and they put her on the back of a pickup truck and ended up transporting her out of the fire zone. so it was definitely a pretty hectic scene. very crazy. and i just hope she's going to be okay. >> was she conscious? was she talking to them?

>> she it looked like her eyes were open. i didn't see her. i didn't see her physically talking or anything, but her eyes were open, which is a good sign. >> that is a good sign. another live look from santa monica. here we have ed laskos. he is there in the heart of the village, and the pictures you're bringing us are from the live truck that you're in for your own protection. >> yeah. and i just want to confirm something. earlier, i was sort of speculating whether that was the elise walker store that was up in flames that we were looking at, and i now have confirmation that that is indeed the elise walker store designer fashion store that we've been looking at that has been burning tonight in that area. and it may not be the only thing burning. >> yes, you're right, elise walker store and sadly a total loss as the embers blowing down the hillside right into that area. but this is sunset right in the very heart of the village, a block away from that designer store, swarthmore. the corner and off to the left is the next block. over is villa

la paz. and the fire roaring down through some apartment buildings. it's now hit that one little storefront right on sunset boulevard. fire department engine moving in, and the firefighter tapping into a hydrant there trying to get a line on this. they're just trying to stop some of these embers that are coming out of that new little business store that is lit up on fire and trying to get those embers from blowing right across us. it's a storm of embers here, winds tilting and blowing the truck back and forth, and the flames roaring down the hillside. to the far right is the village. the caruso development fire. some fire engines have moved down swarthmoor. they've taken up some of the location there. you can see some of them also right on the sidewalk as a fire fighter there with a hose, trying to put out some of the hotspots and some of the shrubbery by that new development. but that area certainly threatened by the fire on the back side, there are some homes they have been burning. and then on the far side, the far left side, which has the movie theater, and you've been watching our live coverage from our fox affiliate in los angeles, kttv.

>> unfortunately, the worst is yet to come, with winds expected to pick up over the next few hours. more than 250 firefighters, in addition to many others agencies, are helping to battle the flames, fire officials saying the palisades fire, the one that we've been watching all night, is at zero containment. keep it here for the very latest. >> gold bond believes touch says everything it says i see you, i feel you, and i know you. gold bond. get in touch with irresistibly touchable skin. >> there he is. whoa! what's this? you keep dog food in the fridge. >> it's not dog food. it's fresh pet real meat. >> real veggies from my boy junior. >> what are we doing here? >> anybody asks? >> we were at grandma's. >> israel needs you. >> we desperately need tens of thousands to respond.

structures. the situation there is so dire that many people had to abandon their vehicles and continue on foot. earlier today, california governor gavin newsom issuing a state of emergency and 30,000 people are now under mandatory evacuation orders. the fire quickly exploded to 3000 acres in pacific palisades, which is between santa monica and malibu. and at the same time, another fire started. a second fire started to the southeast in pasadena and altadena neighborhoods of la, with the worst still to come winds expected to pick up over the next few hours. more than 250 lafd firefighters, in addition to many others from neighboring agencies, are battling the flames. fire officials say the palisades fire is at zero containment right now, but so far just a few injuries have been reported, including at least one firefighter. no reports, though, of any deaths. reports also of widespread power outages, over 200,000 in the l.a. area without power

right now, and also reports of some internet connectivity issues spreading as well. let's go ahead and join our local fox affiliate kptv for live continuing coverage. >> she saw her coverage, alerted her, and now they're checking on their home. they sent us some video of some of the fire scenes from altadena. so we appreciate you keeping in contact with us as we are here to do you a service. that's why we have not broken in with a commercial. we have been wall to wall to bring you this to hopefully, you know, get the word out and save your home. and first and foremost, your life of course. >> right. and the main message that we are trying to get out there by showing all this is to remind people that this is no joke. and there's a reason that those mandatory evacuation orders are put in place, because imagine being stuck in your home if that was happening and there's like no place to

go. and so we're trying to save lives tonight. that's our number one focus. and then we're also trying to help spotlight some of the areas that need protection in terms of property and do the best we can to try to point those out for fire crews and all the rest of them. but as we know, for good reason, a lot of those crews are overwhelmed tonight. and then there will be time for sort of questions about some of the management issues that rick caruso brought up about a half hour ago in our coverage about the water that's available and redeploying resources and brush clearance and all these other things. i mean, it should and will be an extensive act after action report and real questions about are there things that our leaders and can do differently to better prepare for a situation like this, knowing that these winds were coming, knowing that this conditions were going to so

bad. but right now, the real emphasis is on the life and death situation and getting us through this crisis. and this crisis is not over. and these winds are going to continue in just as bad, if not worse, for at least the next five hours. and then through much of tomorrow, by tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow night seems like we're going to start kind of being out of the woods in terms of the winds. but there's a lot of fire and a lot of places and a lot of embers and a lot of different parts of southern california right now. yeah. >> and to that point, alex, we're hearing from the california highway patrol that a grass fire has erupted right near the sherman way off ramp of the northbound 170, the hollywood freeway in north hollywood. typically, you know, we get these alerts all the time here at fox 11. and we would, you know, just look at that and think, okay, that will be put out quickly. but given the wind conditions all across the southland, this grass fire

in north hollywood could turn into something. let's hope not. but again, chp reporting that this brush fire has erupted right near the sherman way off ramp of the northbound 170 freeway in north hollywood. we'll keep a watch on that. that could be slowing any traffic. of course, one of the more devastating scenes that we saw earlier was when people had to abandon their vehicles because the flames were moving in quickly as they were trying to make an escape. and here are those images. they literally abandoned their cars, leaving their vehicles behind without their keys. evacuation routes were so jammed, officials had to use bulldozers. l.a. city fire came in with their bulldozers to clear almost 200 of these abandoned cars. here's some sound from that. >> the questions about abandoned cars. that's a good question that has come up. law enforcement assists us heavily

with evacuation. but please remember, it's an active incident. we don't have the answers to all of these questions. we will certainly look at that. that's very important. i don't know if police felt like they wanted to make a mention to evacuations. okay. >> yeah. >> just on on that question of evacuations, vehicles left in the roadway. if you have to leave a vehicle in the roadway, get it as far off the road as you can so that emergency vehicles can get by. the gist of moving them with bulldozers was an emergency situation. you got to get those fire resources through, and they do what they have to do to be able to facilitate. >> you've been listening to our affiliate, kttv in los angeles. unfortunately, the worst is yet to come. three out of control wildfires burning right now. the winds are expected to pick up heavily over the next few hours. keep it right here at fox news channel for the very latest. >> safety. bring the equipment you you will need for the next of days with you because as you've heard over and over again, this is not going to end
