>> topanga beach drive, firefighters trying to put out this home, going up in massive flames right now. >> that is your entire life, you don't get that back. the memories are gone. i hope they are alive. >> it is like driving through hell itself down here. literally through hell. >> that is not going to do anything, i don't want you to get burned, man. back up. you good? >> this is recipe for disaster here. this moment in history here, we can feel it. this has never happened before, record-hot summer, near record-dry fall. affecting an incredible amount of population. >> going to be okay, all right.
5:02 am
you're going to be okay. >> oh, [bleep] -- >> get to my buddy. i was holding -- he was saying get out. thank you to you, bro. i couldn't get out. >> and tell you, i've been here 47 years, i grew up on this block. i saw other fires and it was nothing like this, nothing like this. >> it looked like pandemonium and trying to get down lake street, there was a four-mile backup. >> we took family pictures and a
5:03 am
few valuable pictures. all this stuff is replaceable, people are not. >> very lucky. >> so happy, the family is most important thing. >> word to describe what we're seeing is apocalyptic. >> behind me is pacific palisades, talking about 11,000 plus acres that have burned right now. >> i don't know if she's okay or not. >> lawrence: you heard and saw it, scenes of heartbreaking loss in los angeles as the city endures most destructive fire storm in its history. >> brian: it is not over by a longshot, there are five active fires, latest in hollywood hills, threatening iconic landmarks. >> ainsley: at least five people are dead and 1000 under
5:04 am
evacuation orders and firefighters are being forced to choose which homes to save as entire neighborhoods go up in flames. >> steve: has burned 17, 000 acs so far and both are defined as being zero contained. >> lawrence: a lot of people lost homes, include be celebrities like paris hilton. she watched on tv as her home burned to the ground. >> brian: let's go out to >> william: >> wi >> william: >> william:. >> sun still not up. >> the worst appears to be over. we are under red flag warning
5:05 am
through friday, withes better weather they are hoping to make process. we will have a full contingent of helicopters today to put out hot spots and begin to get the fire cool enough to put that containment line around them, if you will. we have talked about amount, why did city and dwp run out of water in palisades during middle of fighting a fire. and second l.a. fire chief warned 19 million cut to budget would be devastating in large-scale emergency like this one. instead of accepting blame, mayor karen bass, for a cut she called for, she said this last night. >> what we're seeing is result of eight months of negligible
5:06 am
rain, it is a deadly combination. >> at least five have been killed in the eaton fire near pasadena, they are bringing in canines to see if that is the extent of it. last night in hollywood hills, they are getting a handle on that one with help of helicopters. since 1984, this is unusual. 1984, only four fires, major fires in january, last one being 2001, that was 10,000 acres. this is much larger than that. 130,000 remain under evacuation, and over 300,000 do not have power. that is frustrating and it will take time because they have to ifrnspect the lines, they will not get power back for several
5:07 am
days. >> ainsley: a lot of this was uncontrollable, winds, dry ground, not getting rain in california. however, i heard a lady yesterday on "fox and friends" that said there was no alert system to tell them to get outs, she lived in pacific palisades and she was upset about the water running out. she said please ask this, we need to know if we need to get out not just last minute. >> generally speaking, you get an alert on your phone. mine has been going off a dozen times. i don't live in this area, i live in malibu, i did not get an alert on my phone. we'll have to find out when did the city or county put it out and how widespread it was. it moved quickly. was it localized?
5:08 am
it was 10:30 in the morning, my wife was getting her nails done when this broke out and said there was no warning in the area where her phone was. that was three blocks from the fire, but she said it was mayhem as people were called to school to pick up their kids and started leaving their cars on sunset boulevard. you talked about that yesterday and the day before. i don't know what time that alert went out or if it did at all. >> steve: i got a text message from my friend gayle, in florida, she was watching the fire live with us yesterday. you were there, winds were 60 and assistant miles per hour in malibu. why can't they use ocean water? i know they use it, scoop it up
5:09 am
with planes and choppers and stuff like that, yesterday neither could take off. today one reason they don't like to use ocean water, it can corrode the pumps. if it is once in a lifetime fire event, that is one time, let's pump the ocean water. >> william: good question, steve, it is corrosive to tanks used inside airplanes and helicopters, it is expensive to retrofit a plane to put a tank in there and it is corrosive, so it is a judgement call. i have seen them use the buckets when helicopter go in and use it, it can be done. with super scooper and others, maybe they chose not to do that. the two super scoopers, we rent
5:10 am
them from canada. maybe we bought one, orange county bought one, i believe. maybe if you are renting one, you are not proej to do that. good question. the ones that use a basket scoop out of the ocean. salt content. go ahead. salt ruins roots and other things with vegetation. >> brian: we're seeing live shots which look like hollywood hills and that is latest fire to start. that is much bigger than i thought it was. william, thanks so much, we'll check in again. >> ainsley: go to max gordon, in a separate part of pacific palisades surrounded by the rubble. what are you seeing? >> what is shocking about the palisades fire, this is not what you think of when you think of a
5:11 am
wild-land fire. this is a residential neighborhood. it feels like the tubbs fire in 2017, burning down home after home after home. you walk the block and see this, cars burned in driveways and streets, home after home reduced to ashes. the palisades fire confirmed 17, dlt 200 acres and it was a frantic scene as people tried to escape the flames. many were injured trying to evacuate. as day dlight breaks, this is known as alphabet street, a sought-after neighborhood, multi million dollar homes here. really tragic scene for so many here. we talked to one man yesterday in pacific palisades that said he lost two homes, take a
5:12 am
listen. >> momentos of my mother and father deceased, family members, it is gone. my other place burned down, i had other stuff stored there as b backup in case one burns down, when they both go in the same day, you lose momentos of life. >> yeah, we were able to confirm for him that his second home had burned down, he wasn't able to get to the second home at the time. tragic situation for people in southern california. to east of us, the eaton fire has been burning. that fire 10,600 acres, killing five people at this hour. really horrible scenes playing out across the south land and fires have been fuelled by santa ana wind. easterly winds that blow from the desert, very dry.
5:13 am
yesterday relative humidity in santa monica of 1% and winds were howling. one gust of 100 miles per hour on top of a mountain, that signifies strength of the winds. where you have fire and very dry winds and you have fire burning through dry vegetation, you have conditions primed for an inferno and it has been a very dry winter and we have all these conditions coming together and we see what is unholded in southern california. guys. >> lawrence: we're thinking about first responders and your parents are firefighters, what are you hearing from them? >> i've been talking to mom and dad, what it is like to see this fold. and yeah, they were on the front lines for decades fighting fires like this. what we've seen here play out in
5:14 am
southern california is relatively rarity when we look at historical events. talk about urban fires like this, going from what we call wild land urban interface, where you have homes that move to literal urban areas like this one. this is a place you would never think of a wildfire touching, we have dozens of blocks of homes raised to the ground. when daylight begins to break, we'll see horrific scenes. >> steve: max, thank you. >> lawrence: go to janice dean montorping wind and air quality, what do you know? >> janice: winds are coming down, that is good news and by friday, it will be calm. here are aerial views from palisades, this is before and after. you can see the smoke in the area and homes decimated, this is altadena, california, eaton
5:15 am
fire, like a bomb went off. it is unbelievable. in terms of containment, 17,000 in palisades, eaton, 10,000 acres burned and that continues, we don't have a lot of containment happening because of is the winds. hope firefighters can get a handle on this fire as it continues to burn. we will see wind gusts in excess of 50 to 60 miles per hour. smoke is another big deal for southern california. even if you don't have burning in your area, smoke could affect people with respiratory issues. it is not just lumber, it is particulates and corrosive stuff in the air that could cause problems short term and long-term. air quality very unhealthy and
5:16 am
hazardous. hopefully things will improve. we need to get through next couple of days. back to you. >> brian: president-elect trump calling out california's gavin newsom over response to the fire and its long-term planning. >> lawrence: nate foy is live in west balm beach florida. hi, nate. ing >> good morning, president-elect trump is critical of gavin newsom's water management decision in years preceding the horrific fires. trumps newsom should have and refused to sign a water restoration declaration that could have put calif fires. >> i've been trying to get gavin newsom to allows water to come. they are trying to protect a tiny little fish, for sake of a smelt, they have no water. this is true tragedy and mistake
5:17 am
of the governor and you could see the administration. >> trump is referring to a 2020 memorandum he signed to bring more water to california. the state said it was not scie scientifically justified due to endangered species. gavin newsom says there is no such document, that issure foo p fiction. trump wrote, one of the most beautiful parts of america is burning to the ground, ashes and gavin newsom should resign, this is all his faults. here is newsom last night. >> one can't even respond to it. people are literally fleeing, people have lost their lives, kids lost schools, families torn
5:18 am
asunder and churches burning down, this guy wants to politicize it. >> what about the water that ran out? >> local folks are trying to figure that out, this is an extraordinary large scale fire, pipe, electricity, complete overwhelm of the system. >> trump will attend former president jimmy carter's funeral in washington, d.c. today and then fly back to palm beach and meet with republican governors at mar-a-lago tonight. back to you. >> steve: thank you. >> brian: talking about the tanks, they were empty at 5:00. >> steve: on tuesday. >> brian: you have to be kidding me, pacific palisades, you have 3 million dollar home, if taxes like new york, probably 50 to 60, 70,000 in taxes and you can't get a hydrant?
5:19 am
what about working class areas? if high tax areas can't do this and rick carrusso said i talked to firefighters and they don't have equipment necessary to fight. while karen bass decides, i'm looking at my budget and i have to give billion to homeless and cut 23 million from the budget for firefighters. she said, we'll just cut 17, how does that sound? >> lawrence: someone tell me appropriate time to criticize leadership here. to the president, i talked to the president last night, his criticism, he predicted this before it happened and said this is something we can do to solve this problem. they don't do it and we're in this mess. a governor who loves to do pres conference and show boat of the office, but when it comes to management and leadership, he was asked about the fire
5:20 am
hydrants and he said he would leave it to locals. there is tragedy going county to county, city to city, you would think the state would have a position on that. he said go to locals. >> ainsley: a man in pacific palisades, high schooler, said they came to our house to hook up to fire hydrant in front of our home and there was no water in this neighborhood in america. that should not happen. who is responsible for that? who should be held accountable? karen bass? whoever is over pacific palisades? the water problem needs to be fixed. there was an aslert and karen bass goes over to guana and flies back. she was asked to apologize to the community, do you want to apologize for cutting the firefighter budget.
5:21 am
homeless are getting money and firefighters are getting cut. >> steve: yesterday, 100 mile per hour wind, water will not put that out. as fire crews have been able to go in, they have been able to use existing facility. they have big tanks, city of los angeles had tanks filled at the beginning, nobody was expecting that kind of demand and it rab out. so going forward, your point about criticizing leadership is accurate. who decided we would only have this number of things, this number of tanks and trucks and stuff like this and go ing forward, people in california will say, we could have had more water coming from the delta thing if not so many
5:22 am
environmental protection for a tiny fish that has been declared extinct. >> ainsley: donald trump in 2018, almost nine years ago, he was in the woods with gavin newsom saying, you need to fix your forest, austria and finland have more trees and they don't have fires like -- >> brian: i wonder if the tanks were actually even full, you don't run out in hours, you can't run out hours into a huge fire before -- even though magnitude of it. straight ahead, donald trump rethinking what his one big bill to two bills, is he thinking two or one? houses one, senates two, talk to a senator next. >> lawrence: keep it on fox for continuing coverage of california's devastating

5:31 am
four years and now the media says it is the worst cover-up they have. you have a leader not that. president is leading from the front and calling out governor newsom and mayor bas on their inadequate leadership. i get what people are saying, tankers were full and they ran out and hydrants were out and no one could predict this. you could predict this. that is why you put in hydrants to predict for worst case possible. my wife and i live on a ranch and that is where we raise our kids, we do control burns for fo forest maintenance. it was predicted by president trump nine years ago. they were not prepared. they did not have reservoirs full, they cut the firefighter
5:32 am

5:41 am
your car, he thought you had a long time to leave, you told your brother they were your essentials, your guitar and your maga hats, why were those most important to you? >> my dog was number one. but a lot of people who know me on social media were reaching out asking if i was okay and safe. i wrote a song called fighter for president trump and it was a big part of my life and i wanted to let people know on social media that know me from that song that i'm going to keep writing music and get up just like the song says. i have a lot of work to do personally, we have a lot of work to do as a country, as well. >> ainsley: you wrote that song, number one song, billboard
5:42 am
digital and donald trump started using it with a video you produced in nashville with your co-writer. i'm glad you will get up and fight like he does. are you frustrated with leadership in pacific palisades in your state? >> i think there are a lot of people, there will be a lot of people that will look into why this happened or how it could happen and how it could be improved. frustrating thing for me, i'm not at point of bitterness, it is disbelief and grief and shock and resolve. it is tricky because i drove 2-1/2 hours to get to my dad's place when i evacuated. he lives six miles away. i looked at my front door ring camera and saw my front fence on fire and saw the embers and i sat there, where are the firefighters and i know they are

california wildfires destroying upward of 25,000 acres and as many as 2 thousand structures with officials warning the worst could be yet to come. bethany franco is mobilizing her nonprofit to bring relief to the victims there. bethany joins us now. any time there is a national tragedy you and your organization is there. tell me about what you guys are doing on the ground. >> so we created a model that works pretty much anywhere and even in ukraine, even in, you know, overseas, anywhere, australia. basically what we have is a big massive warehouse in miami and created the model for in different places we create warehouses that are stacked with aid. we know that in the caribbean there will always be disasters and sadly in california there
5:58 am
are historic fires. so we have a warehouse in chico that is about a third of the size of our warehouse in miami like a costco or amazon. huge warehouse. it is merchandise all aid from every single section of our lives from pets, babies, building, hydration, water, school supplies, kids products and we have an assembly line where we create crisis kits, boxes. so in those boxes will be socks and wipes and necessary items that you need just as ground zero moment when you have lost everything, here is a box, rice, beans, if you have a place to cook. i don't know even know if that box has it because it's pre-cooking. snack bars and toiletry kits. the money we raise goes to cash parts so we give cash cards to people to have the dignity to purchase once they need once
5:59 am
