contained. winds are topping 70 miles per hour through the night. brooke singman has more on what is going on and respond from the white house. brooks fire crews are desperately trying to contain the flames. president biden was stuck in los angeles overnight. he says he is being briefed on the wildfires and offering the state any federal assistance to combat the flames. fema is sporting impacted areas. lif life-threatening winds have grounded helecopters and gavin newsom is begging people to get

you are safe in a hotel now. tell us what happened and what you saw that led you to evacuate? >> understatement. what i saw was something i don't think anyone dreams of seeing, even in their dreams. it was literally a perfect day. we live in a dream community which does not exist anymore. my daughter went toer had first day of pre-school after the break. everyone was excited. i came home, put on classical music to start working and received a notification saying there was a fire. i can't tell you how quickly i walked to front of the house and saw the fire come to our gate. we live in a gated community. surreal moment, it's real. after being born and raised in

the palisades and having been through earthquakes, fires, we've been through it all, this was something i was never expecting. i am okay. after what we've been through, i don't know why i have to be in a i hotel room. >> todd: how tough to get out of the palisades with others trying to do the same thing? we have seen cars stranded that could not move so people abandoned their cars. how tough was it to get out? >> worse than you saw. unbelievable to sit one lane going in and out of places. there should have been foresight, i think. people getting out of their cars

to run from the fire. i was in a position i don't think anyone of us -- we have seen war zoness and fires on tv. this community sticks to itself, first time we've had to face something like this. what is more difficult seeing the fire, it is how do i get out of this, that was baffling to me. >> carley: so scary. we saw images of cars left on the highway because people had to run. the cars had to be bulldozed. from an emotional standpoint, i can't imagine. you are a lawyer, you worked hard all of your life to build your dream. i'm sure your home is a beautiful place, your sanctuary, to be potentially gone in blink of an eye is worst case

scenario. do you know if your house is still standing? how do you feel right now? >> it's a great question. for those of us who have children, we put on a tough face and you have moo forward and pretend nothing is happening. i don't know if our house is still standing. i have a photo of the neighbor's house, which is gone. i don't know. we are okay and the people that are in the palisades, i hope they are safe. we have questions. i know where i am right now. i don't know where my mayor was when this was happening. i know now where he was. i am born and raised in los angeles and spent my life around earthquakes and plan trips around this. if i'm in charge, figure out how

people need to get in and out much a city like pacific palisades. if i'm in charge, i will tell you, i care about you. i will tell you where roads are, nobody told us where to go, what to do. i did not have an evaction order. the video you see, we did not have an evacuation order at that time. i love the fire department, i love our fire personnel. we need more, where were they? i don't know where they were. i'm on group chats with my daughter's pre-school parents. seven of 15 probably lost homes. you ask about emotional toll, i can't answer. i can sit here with a smile, i don't know what is going on, i don't know. the answer to the emotional toll, i don't know. 50 years, 49, born and raised in

palisades, hard-working family. everyone is there in palisades because they love the palisades. for someone to be in charge of my town, where were you? >> todd: you are certainly -- >> decision should have been made how to get in and out of places. i wish she were sitting across from me to answer the questions, she's not. i don't have an answer, i can tell you what the weather patterns are, if you live here and run a city, figure it out. if you want to be mayor of a city likeses los angeles, you are in charge of really important things and you the just let it go. >> todd: on the screen looking at one of the other fires, this is sillmar, north of you,

rachel. i want to talk about something you mentioned before you discussed the questions of the mayor, which are valid, we need answers. you mentioned the community. the palisades, while there are nice homes, it is not filled with streets of hollywood celebs, like you might imagine when you hear los angeles. it is a special community, a little enclave. regular americans like you with families, working hard everyday. my best friend had to evacuate last night and told me his sister's house is gone. they are a palisade family like you are, that has been there for generations. they grow in this community. their kids and grandkids. describe this sense of communities in the palisades that you know and love.

>> so born and raised there. 49 years. parents who are immigrants and became success stories. myself, i've done well because of where we come from. it is the palisades and people there. my daughter was able to grow up in the palisades. she is three years old. she is going to school methodist preschool, across the street from the elementary school i went through. the people that i know that are either in a hotel or in one of the fancy houses or non-fancy houses, that is not what we're about. this is a community of people who love being there. if you happen to be a celebrity,

great, no one took a picture, we are not interested in who you are. our mayor steve guguttenberg wa pushing cars. we fought and helped each other and will continue to help each other, i know we will. the people i'm talking to at 2:00 in the morning, we're still helping each other and hope everyone knows who to call. palisades, you know who we are, please come to us, i have never seen this before. i can tell you another thing, people who live in the palisades have helped people who live across this country, across the world, please come help us. i've never seen this town full of such great people, con contributors to the world. we'll all come togethers, we

have to. >> carley: great message there. california is used to wildfires, this is on another level, something else entirely. you were talking about a lack of respond from local officials, mayor of los angeles, there are reports of water pressure issues f firefighters have lack of water because of water pressure, which is strukt issue. have you heard that? does that surprise you? >> that does not surprise me. we had a situation last year, out of power and electricity and phone lines for 30 days. why is that happening? why did that happen in the first place? i don't know if water supply, but i believe it. it goes back to, you got to know the community you are rep.ing,

if you don't, don't get on an airplane and come back here. don't come back to upon had us if you can't help us. what was in west africa that required you to be there when weather was shifting when it was. why are poor firefighters risking their lives because of government officials, why are poor firefighters not given tools to fight the fires for us. >> todd: you are referring -- >> i wish i could have this conversation with her, i can't. >> todd: mayor of los angeles, karen bass, she is in guana on a trip to happening see inauguration of another leader there. you mention water pressure, a few years ago, ucla dumped so many thousands, millions of gallons of water and there was a

pressure situation. point was, it destroyed pressure for this kind of need in the pipes when you need to fight fires. it makes no sense why they did it. people questioned at the time. we can't imagine. we are praying for you, your pre-schooler, your entire family during this horrific time. we will be watching, please keep us posted. >> carley: we hope your house is still standing. >> we appreciate your prayers and thoughts and anything you have to support our community. >> carley: ocoverage continues f the devastating wildfire in los angeles next.

burned from wildfires in the los angeles area. wil william long is in front of a home. william. >> this is going to likely be the most destructive fire in state history based on what i've seen over the last 12 to 24 hours. keith came in from the south. pacific ocean is literally right over there.

these homes are right on the beach. there are three burning now. three others burned earlier. i came down from the north, i saw two dozen homes burning along the beach, like this. clips are on the rhyight, the bluff and this is pch, and the ocean is to my left. in fire is so big and moved so fast, there were not enough firefighters this thing moved so fast. it came out of the palisades and moved south toward santa monica, that is burning according to the tv i looked at. i came in from the north and we started at malibu a month ago. this fire has reached that area.

five to teb miles in les than eight hours. there are fires burning and no fire crews anywhere to be seen, they are occupied somewhereingly else. winds are dry. they recorded 99 mile per hour winds. down here at the beach, 50 miles per hour. 10,000 homes were threatened, that will double by time we get an update this morning 6 or 7 local. upons people are uses to seeing fires in santa barbara. the palisadeses are very dense, palisades high school, a very

dense neighborhood. there are bluffs, ridges, hillsides there. fires move quickly uphill like that. winds are unpredictable and so strong that the firefighters have little hope of saving some of the homes because it is moving so fast. they brought in out of palisades, a populated area, people trying to evacuate and flames were coming down. they were forced to leave their cars and policemen came up to them and said gets get out of your car and run if you want to live. bulldozers had to compl in and push those cars aside to make room for fire trucks. that was an area port of moreno,

and parts of the palisades. we have fires in palisades, in malibu, in pasadena, and silmar. this one in malibu, when i went to bed last night, it had nonot moved into this area. peek peak winds until 5:00 this morning. expecting high winds until thursday. way this is moving, there will be more homes destroyed. >> carley: zero percent containment and five football fields every minute is how quickly this is moving. california is used to wildfires, this feels like another level. what separates this fire from what you have seen in the past? >> persistent high winds.

you had embers that looked like a snow storm bouncing along pch. downed power lines and power poles were across pch like this. it is strength of the wind. longer it blows, the dryer t the -- we have had marginal rain over last two months, it's been extremely dry. this wind event is massive. it goes from, l.a. is a basin surrounded by san bernardino mountains and winds coming down, high pressure out of los angeles come down and pick up steam.

the breadth of this thing has southern california on notice. firefighters are spread thin. as i came down, there were fires burning and no firefighters anywhere. they are doing their best and occupied on different structures. last night 8:00, they had to ground helicopters because winds were so strong. on the palisades fire, they had two helicopters, that stopped dropping because winds were so strong because by time retardant had hit the flames, it had gone a football field. a firefighter said what is point of dropping it when you can't

hit the target, those are challenges they are having. >> todd: focus on density aspect, that is where my attention goes for wednesday. palisades is extremely dense area, go to santa monica and brentwood, density is greater in those areas. it stops at montana boulevard, that is a key factor. if the fire jumps mont ana and jumps, we are going from catastrophic to apocalypse, there are more homes packed and apartments are throughout santa monica and brentwood area.

give commentary what your colleague saw and your concern for how horrific this could get. >> you know, i don't know where to begin. i've lived in santa monica, another house near old getty, that street was wiped out. i think they saved the antiquities there. like reagan library. that area of koefltline, topanga canyon, this fire continued to jump. we thought it was going to move north and west, it moved south to santa monica. we are talking about super tight neighborhoods. santa monica, between and up to

there, if it gets there, it will sweep through neighborhoods and go house to house, this is an area, you can hear the person's t toilet flush next door they are so close unlike malibu. if fires gets into neighborhoods, no telling how many structures could be lost. i'm sure by now they have evacuation orders all the way down to montana and north, not to point doom or zuma, like i said today, i hate to use terminologies people are not familiar with, fire reached cross creek, that is middle of malibu, how fast it moved toward pch and mulholland. palisades is a dense area, bel

air beach club, it gotz into town. my dentist is in the center of town. this is a major fire, they have not begun, it is zero percent contained and we're supposed to have high winds and through the day tomorrow and thursday excessive winds over 25 miles per hour. we have gusts 40 to 50, huge order ahead. >> todd: please stay safe. they do special training for you out in california, please stay safe. let's go to jennifer, a resident in pasadena, joins us now. how fast did you have to evacuate? >> oh, todd thanks for having me. really fast.

we had high winds, we knew were coming. we had a wind storm in 2011, i thought i was preparing for a power outage, i was getting batteries and flash lights and i threw things in the car just in case. i could smell smoke at 6:45, we quickly started putting things in the car, within 15 minutes, the neighborhood was filling with ash and smoke. we grabbed a few things out of the house and the power went out and it went from maybe we should evacuate to my god, we're evacuating. >> todd: unreal. can you describe what the winds feel like? standard santa ana feels warm

and dry. we're talking scope of wind speeds something i don't know if you have experienced there. describe it for us. >> in 2011, we had a wind storm, it was awful, this is beyond that. it is hurricane strengths, i keep hearing that. we are hearing 70 mile per hour. we're peofeeling it, even in th car, as we're trying to get out of the neighborhood, the windings are pushing our car and you could see debris flying around you. unheard of. i'm california native and i was in the '93 fires in malibu, this is a whole other animal. >> todd: normal circumstances, can you describe how difficult for firefighters to get their

truck s into a mountainous area? >> i tell you this, northeast padlat sadenetwork a is at the base of eaton canyon, less than a mile from my street. we are not considered a mountain area. in sierra madre, they have tiny canyon roads, i can't imagine how they manipulate up in tz canyon. same with palisades, streets ares small and winding and curving, i don't know how they do it. we are lucky in our area of northeast pasadena, the ib naneighborhood has chris-cross

streets. i don't know what has happened to our neighborhood. us heard footsage footage of the seniors evacuated, that is five blocks from my house. >> todd: how is your family and you holding up, jennifer? >> we're lucky, grateful, fine. we evacuated to a friend's house. we grabbed our pets. my daughter is shook. we feel graetzful to be safe and to have been able to evacuate without too much crisis. we're worried for palisades people and malibu and the affected areas. this is a nightmare, like a hel scape out here. >> todd: stay safe. heavy flames and smoke filling sky throughout los angeles, more dangerous wind on its way as

three fires burn throughout the south land. >> carley: former sheriff of los angeles county will join us live to tell us about the respond on the ground.

yesterday we were talking about 100 mile per hour wind. people were saying if there was a fire, this would spread like wildfire. there is a cone of uncertainty as hurricane or tornado, i can sort of tell you where it is going to go, to forecast where fire could spread is next to impossible. it is incredibly dry in southern california, and winds are hurricane force. firefighters are out in hurricane force wind trying to battle blazes that are out of control over heavily populated areas. these fires spreading to 3000 acres and these are three fires that started in the last hours

burning out of control and top wind gusts. the forecast proved true, close to 100 mile per hour winds in this area and the pictures are devastating. palisades fire is largest right now, zero percent containment. winds 40 to 60 miles per hour, in critical fire danger region for today. wind gusts now, 46 miles per hour, 59 miles per hour, malibu hills 60 miles per hour. any fire will continue to potentially spread. this is the eaton fire. zero percent containment and guaranteed that will continue to spread. 78 miles per hour, i wish i

could tell you, winds will die down, but they are not, this is critical area of strong wind for next couple of hours and next few days. potential for fire danger and fire spreading, this is our worst case scenario when it comes to wildfires. >> todd: we are focused on the wind and we need to focus on the rain in the past two winters. it grows the blush and makes it lush. and the trees like u.k. lips us tr trees. >> janice: there are no words. >> carley: the firefighters trying to battle this and your husband is one. >> janice: it's a different beast, firefighters not knowing

are going out for a run because we have millions of these unvetted illegals living in our communities every single day. shame on them for their vote yesterday, i'm hopeful we are able to have bipartisan vote in the senate to have this common sense policy forward and thank goodness only 12 days until president trump takes office. >> this floor vote in the senate taking place on friday which would have been laken riley's 23rd birthday. john fetterman in the senate has co-sponsored it and gary peters, democrat out of michigan says he will support it as well. so, if it does pass what will the impact be particularly in sanctuary cities. >> it will force compliance with these detainers. if you are illegal immigrant and committing a crime in communities you should be arrested. you should be detained or you should be deported does send a sanctuary cities now the federal government different hands and

paying attention and hold you accountable. this is about enforcing the law. i actually asked the mayor of d.c. when we had her in front of our committee a few weeks ago if they were going to be detaining in ice containers. i hope all of these democrats democrat cities put biden's border policies into place releasing dangerous illegals into our communities i hope they are on notice a new sheriff is in town and we are paying attention and going to hold you accountable. >> todd: carley and i were just discussing this in the break does this law effectively eliminate sanctuary cities. can't figure out a boy to get around it i'm sure they will try. it seems this ends sanctuary cities? your thoughts? >> yeah. well, in one of our priority bills, we laid out for this congress, is to make sure that we are withholding federal funding from sanctuary cities. if you are not following the law. not complying with ice detainers. you are not actually holding these dangerous illegal immigrants, then you should get a dime of federal funding, i think this laken riley act is

step 1 and i would like to thank my colleagues who did support it there is more to do. holding sanctuary cities accountable. i'm looking forward to seeing all of the executive actions that president trump is able to take as soon as he is sworn in, again, january 20th. it can't come soon enough. >> thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> and, of course, we have been covering the wildfires out of southern california all morning long that coverage will continue with "fox & friends." >> current reported acreage is at 4,000 but expect that number to rise significantly when cal fire issues their next update later on this morning.
