>> people in the palisades area clogging roadways trying to get out attack. here is burning right next to them as they're fleeing. if you're familiar with this area, this fire broke out in the highlands community. that's about 10 miles from malibu. the entire community down to the pacific ocean has been told to evacuate our affiliate in los angeles says that the evacuation routes have been congested and slow moving, causing people to abandon their cars and leave on foot more than 100 firefighters in strike. teams are battling the blaze right now. more on the way. here's more from the scene. >> europe, how sage drive if anybody has a car and they leave the car, leave the keys in the car so that we can move your car so that these fire trucks can get a palisades drive. what's happening is people take your keys with them as if they're in a parking lot. this is not a parking lot. we really need people to move their cars. so if you leave your car bounces drive, leave the key in there.

so a guy like me can move your cars again about their. so the so that these fire trucks can get up there. that's really, really important. >> i 24,000 residents have been told to leave. here's one woman leaving with her belongings. >> are ok? can for second? are you okay? a then a mountain. okay. thank them all for you guys say no. yeah. i know that in than about idaho manner cause. fact is that you're building up there. not down to about 200 people oh, my not about kind of people that that man was your my name is i'm late, is on 5 while at a condominium and apartment all tonight. goodness 100 people in there and that time didn't at i think can get out and i would not cause the mining okay. thank be safe. >> unbelievable. right. southern california edison, that's the utility area has

warned residents that they could be coming off power to more than half a million residents. it is a dire and dangerous situation. stay with we're going to have much more coming up on kron 4 dot com as well is our shows later back to justin. >> so much what we want to show you now is a live picture of a home that is actively on fire right now. we can see here that the roof is on fire. these flames shooting high up into the air and we can also see how windy it is by the direction that the smoke is going off in the tree there in the background. it looks like they also have some children's toy equipment here in the front yard, like a net of some sorts. there are evacuation orders for neighborhoods that are large homes. this is in the foothills of the pacific palisades area in western los angeles. and we see some sort of firefighter there. but this is uphill battle for the hundreds of firefighters that are trying to contain this wildfire in western la right now. kron 4 meteorologist

collin broke and joins us now with an update on the wind conditions. yes, you can see where the areas in purple are on the map. that is where we've got gusts upwards of 60, 70 miles per hour. you can't really see that all the gauges here, but you can see with the colors being represented and this is exactly where >> this fire is. if you kind of consider it is south of oxnard and north of los angeles. so it's right in that area just south of malibu, north of santa monica. and as we zoom in here, you can see where the red flag warning is. it goes all the way from santa barbara down to san diego. this is where that fire is. so again, kind of between malibu and santa monica and that red flag warning going through 06:00pm on thursday. so the problem here is that this is just the beginning of their offshore wind event. now, temperature wise, they are also warmine up. but these temperatures are kind of negligible. we're talking about 71 degrees right now in los angeles. that's not really their biggest issue. the bigger issue, frankly, is this the reason we are not seeing such dire circumstances is that we've got rain over the past couple months. this is from october to now. we've gotten over 10 inches of rain in downtown san francisco.

compare that with downtown los angeles where they've gotten at least 16, one hundredths of an inch of rain from last october to now. and they should have for that particular time frame about 4 and a half inches of rain. so they're incredibly dry. and that is what is leading to these conditions being so dire today. so we also have offshore wind. you can see it. there is the flag is blowing that wind coming in the direction offshore. that is certainly warming us up today. and that does increase our fire danger as well. but the fact that we've had the rain that we've had that makes all the difference in the world. having said that, 28 miles per hour. right now oakland, you can see where some of this wind is rolling. the gusts are even higher. so important to be very careful today. back to you. all right. thank you. kyla other news we're watching today is that the san francisco police department is now no longer under state oversight. the eight-year long supervision from the california department of justice. >> began in 2018 when it found that sfpd head used an outdated use-of-force policy and also lacked

accountability. now, according to today's report that the police department has implemented 263, up 272 reforms. the remaining 9 reforms are in progress and the end of the oversight is coming as daniel lurie is set to take over as san francisco's mayor tomorrow. and the city is announcing today a 20 year low and major crimes. so according to this new report in twenty-twenty, 4 property crime was down. 31 1% from 2023 violent crime went down 14%. homicides reached a 60 year low. only 35 murders, car break-ins down. 54 1% coming in at just under 10,000 cars. that's the first time in nearly spent 15 years. we've seen a number that low and the city says was able to reach these numbers by using new tools, including the addition of drones, drug market interventions and strengthening partnerships with different law enforcement agencies. and coming up in

about 20 minutes from now, current mayor london breed will join us live to talk more about these new numbers. also reflect on her time in office because tomorrow, as we said, daniel lurie will be sworn in as the new mayor of san francisco. and we will have special coverage of his inauguration the beginning at 11 tomorrow morning. now to the other big story we're following today. the woman kidnapped and raped in the notorious case out of late. how in 2015 is speaking out now following some news that her attacker is facing several other new charges. kron 4 charles clifford is in monterey county with details. >> well, here in seaside on tuesday, denise huskins quinn and her husband, aaron quinn, are reacting to news that their attacker, matthew mueller, is facing additional charges. 47 year-old matthew mueller, who is serving a 40 year prison sentence for kidnapping and denise huskins in 2015 has been accused of committing a series of home invasions across santa clara county during 2009. he's also been charged in a 2015

kidnapping case in contra costa county. and on tuesday, the el dorado county district attorney announced that mueller is also believed to have kidnapped and sexually assaulted a victim as far back as 1993 when he was just 16 years old. >> that's 2 decades of this mindset that he was living in. >> on tuesday afternoon, denise huskins quinn and her husband, aaron, spoke to the media about the recent developments in these cases. we had all the markers of a serial predator. >> and it's unfortunate that it's taken this long to be able to really give some better clarity and hopefully some sense of peace to these other victims. the new charges come after mueller allegedly confessed to the crimes in letters he sent from prison. seaside police chief nick bohr just had initiated the written correspondence with mueller. >> that led to these alleged confessions. >> i just spoke to him as a human. there was no training or skill or trickery. it was just often take who i am

reaching out. >> i really believe that this is just the tip of the iceberg. denise and aaron say they believe they're probably more unsolved cases out there and they are encouraging all victims of assault to come forward. so if you're in that situation just know. we should always trust yourself, always believe in yourself. matthew mueller is currently being held in a santa clara county jail. once the new cases against him are resolved, he will be transferred to a federal prison in arizona. now, denise and aaron say they're also considering trying to talk directly to matthew mueller in an attempt to get him to reveal more information. but for now in seaside, charles, clifford kron, 4 news. 2 people have been detained in connection to a possible stabbing at the hayward bart station. this happened just before 10 o'clock this morning. >> prompting police to temporarily close that station. bart police telling us here at kron 4 that this incident happened at the ground level, not on the elevated tracks or on a train and they're saying this is still an active investigation. police in antioch are

progress the agency has made in his 10 and a half months in leadership. one of our biggest priorities has been hiring and that is progressing. well, as adding to henry retires and gives way to his successor, captain jovi hill in the wake of federal, state and local investigations into police misconduct. addington says 80 sworn officers are now on duty. a significant increase from a year ago and is hopeful all 115 authorize sworn positions will be filled within a year. we have more officers on the street. we've had increased capacity to address crimes like robberies, shootings and stolen vehicles. >> all all of which have been persistent challenges. forest city manager bessie scott hopes appointing captain jovi hill to acting chief ensures a smooth transition. >> he filled the role back in august 2023. following former chief doctor steven ford's retirement. the hill's return as acting chief is effective. friday recently the city announced a deal with the

department of justice that includes detailed reforms and 5 years of monitoring by independent law enforcement consultant approved by the justice department. i'm looking forward to working with the department of justice and making the police department better in every aspect possible. we want our community know that we are taking measurable steps in the right direction. >> to address past abuses, bring the necessary leadership training, accountability and transparency. >> needed to heal our community. bessie. scott says the national search for a new permanent police chief was underway with the city hosting the first public forum on the issue next week in antioch, police are called kron 4 for our community. >> still ahead, here are 3 more drama involving san mateo county sheriff christina corpus. the claim she has now filed against county leaders. after the break, president carter has arrived in washington, d.c., we'll see how he will be honored today.

>> 44 years after president jimmy carter left washington, d.c., on the heels of a re-election loss, the one term president returned for a final goodbye special occasion. obviously one of the rare opportunities that we have to honor a former president and in this manner. >> former president carter was first honored in washington at the navy memorial downtown. >> before a procession down pennsylvania avenue brought his casket to the capitol building where he will lie in state until his funeral on thursday. >> lawmakers like senate democratic leader chuck schumer honored his legacy today and tomorrow americans will brave the snow and cold temperatures to pay their respects to one of the most decent man ever to hold office. a president senate republican leader john thune finds comfort in this moment. >> and while i join all americans in mourning the death of president carter. i rejoice at the thought that he and rosalynn are again together.

take your eye to the right side of your screen there with the flag. is it? >> half mast actually in honor of president carter. and you can see that it is also blowing in the direction of offshore, right? so that is one of the reasons that we are heating up and take a look at today's temperatures. 70 degrees right now in santa rosa. 66 in san francisco, obviously well, above average here, 69 in hayward and oakland, we 70 degrees just a little bit ago. and 69 in san jose right now. so that is part of the effects of that offshore wind. it's been a gorgeous day to take a walk with the dog. if you'd like a lovely. and while the creek, we will see some clouds move in as we get a little bit later into the evening. but still, they are just kind spilling over right now. it really isn't a lot of heavy cloud coverage, which is kind of nice as we zoom out, you can see where high pressure is in control right now of our forecast. but the wind is being generated by the fact that high pressure and low pressure are so close together. it is creating a wind gradient as the circulation from these 2 systems collide. and that's why we're getting that offshore wind kind of being driven between them. and that does get a little bit

dangerous out there. looks like my camera has taken a break there, but that he's the live look from the east bay and wanted to point out that we're going to see these temperatures stay relatively warm over the next 5 days as we do have this high pressure say in control, low pressure will start to move away and that does release the wind gradient and that will be good thing that will help us out. it will help southern california out. but notice as we get to friday saturday sunday, that high pressure really doesn't move. it kind of stays there right off shore. and that is why we have very dry weather over the next 7 days. as you can see here in your seven-day forecast, obviously well above average as well. temperature wise as we work through our work week and then we'll start to pull back a little bit as we get to the weekend. but really, really nice weather for us as we go throughout the week. we are getting the advantage of the offshore wind without the disadvantage, which is the fire danger. and it has everything to do with the fact that we've had a pretty good season for rain so far. having said that, it's always a good idea to be fire safe. back to you. thank you. >> lawyers for embattled san mateo county sheriff christina corpus filed a claim against the county last month arguing that corpus is a victim of

discrimination, harassment and defamation. core prices currently accused of racism, homophobia and several other things. her lawyer saying that the investigation into the allegations against her was missing. some key evidence and done for the legal reasons. >> typical practices. you interview all of your witnesses under oath in the tape recorder. videotape them or both. in this case, only one witness was videotaped tape, rather. and that's because he insisted on it. >> the sheriff was scheduled to talk about this on monday but canceled. her lawyer says it's because new information was discovered over the weekend. that needs to be sorted out. the san mateo county board members have placed amendment on the march ballot asking voters to give them power to remove the sheriff from office. and then the south bay, san jose police are investigating a crash that killed a pedestrian. this happened just after 10, 30

when we moved to the states, i kind of had no cultural identity. and i just immersed myself in the music. smoking was sort of synonymous with being cool. that is just not a life i want to show my daughter. i don't want her to ever be controlled the way that i was. but she's not interested. she doesn't associate smoking with being cool. californians are beating big tobacco. you can too.

>> all right. we don't need much of an introduction here. we have san francisco mayor london breed with us here. joining us here during kron for news at 3 o'clock. basically since the beginning of last year. we're so glad you're here with us today. how are you doing? post-election? well, i'm doing great. the city is looking great is feeling great. of course there's always work to be done. it's a major city, but i'm feeling good about a lot of the work that we have done to get us to where we are. so with that, your office put out some new numbers today. your last day in office really highlighting major reduction in crime. it was a 20 year low for some major crimes in the city. homicides down. 35 1% from 2023. that's a 60 year low car break-ins down 54%. under 10,000 cars broken into.

that's a huge improvement. what do you credit this for? well, it took a lot of work. it wasn't just the one thing. i mean, we got a new district attorney, brooke jenkins. we worked very well with our federal and state law enforcement partners. we increase morale in our police department and brought accountability to the table with 21st century technology. jones license plate readers surveillance. we still focused on criminal justice reforms and our police reforms. we have been removed from oversight from the state a result of that work. we did all of it and it wasn't a one thing. it was so many different things and i'm really proud of this work because it took a lot of work. it people think that it's one thing you can do and all of a sudden things are great. but we had to deconstruct laws. we have to remove barriers. we have to fight against, you know, a lot of people who didn't want to see us move these things forward. but we got here and we got here by being aggressive, working together. and my hope is that

we continue to build upon the success to make san francisco even better and safer. and with the use of mentioned this, the police oversight that's now being removed by the california part of justice. it started in 2018. that's a huge accomplishment. yeah. well, you we implemented 272 recommendations from the u.s. attorney's office. and here's the thing. i mean, one of the examples has become a model for the rest of the country. our alternatives to policing street crisis response team for people struggling with mental illness having a non police response. that's great work. it doesn't get talked about enough. just the the kind of work we do, how we had to build capacity, how we had to make adjustments in order to make sure that we were bringing accountability to the table. that is something that i'm extremely proud of. and i'm so glad that people are finally starting to feel the difference as well as see it in this. not these numbers. what else you proud of? well, i'm proud of what we've done around housing. we

now have state laws and that have made it possible for us to move forward. a lot more aggressively. no more destruction. just to give you example, typically it takes close to 10 years for a new housing development, affordable, even to be developed and people to move in. now, it will take a little bit over 2, maybe 3 years at the most cutting back the red tape being less of a city of know, removing over 100 requirements for small businesses so that they can do more than just the one thing that the city restricted them from doing so nightlife am making the streets fun and all the parties, the ability for people to do parties in the middle of the street without the ix significant expenses of all the permits have been such so that we have done this with entertainment zones, a first in the country and just making the city more fun. more acessible more interesting. more lively, making neighborhood neighborhoods more vibrant, making our parks and open space more accessible and available mn all parts of our city of me. i can go on and on and on. but i look at

my record, my legacy and it has been about removing barriers. it has been about removing decades, a built-up bureaucracy from a city of no. you can't do something. no, no, no. you can't have fun. no, you can't build your home. no, you can't to your home to be coming. a city of yes of possibilities of hope, of excitement, of fond of safety, of all the things that we love about our city. you were instrumental in bringing the nba all-star game here. also, the val curry's we still get to going to those games. yes, i look forward to a little bit more time to enjoy that. but also the labor compass come in. hear what roger federer and next year. i mean, this year, we're in 2025. so we got a lot of things on the table. this has become a sports destination. we have the fifa world cup and the super bowl. they're going to be at levi's, but they're going to be mostly here in san francisco. we have a lot of interesting conventions and things that people are doing in the city. new restaurants, new

businesses, new open space and new housing to make sure that the workers who are working in san francisco can afford to live here. all of this stuff is finally coming together. and as i said, my hope is moving forward that the next administration will build upon the foundation that i establish and continue to make the city even better with that. what feels unfinished so much feels unfinished. but here's the thing. it's always going to feel that way. there's always going to be something we can do better as a city. so, you know, mayors, they come and go and ultimately the decisions we make have a lasting impact in. i think there's always going to be a feeling of being unfinished. but my hope is that those types of things will get finished. but as soon as they get finishes on to the next thing, they'll be something else to do. but that's what makes san francisco great city. we're always looking for the possibility of making something better. are you going to the inauguration for daniel lurie wondering if you've spoken to him are going to leave a little note, maybe on the mayor's desk. there was some advice talking to him.

and get paid a quarter. i did it also. i've never not worked in some capacity. so i look forward to tad bit of a break, but i'm also looking forward what comes next and how i could be of service for the things that i care about. i still care about the work around building more housing. i still care about kids and their success in our city. >> and i still care about helping to support and uplift the recovery community and our seniors. mean, that work is just something that's a part naturally a part of what i care about. and i just hope that i'm able to still do some of those things. but what it what that is has yet to be the turnout. what's your dream job now? you kind of had it as being the mayor of san francisco rising up from? well, i would say that's my dream job is to probably get. >> you know, somebody else with a gazillion dollars and be able to give all that money out to the things i care about. okay. so we're trying to are we trying to settle down like what does that mean? yeah, that means that it'll be a few things that may be one thing or another. i just don't know. i might write a book. i

might. >> a dual who knows their endless possibilities. i have a wealth of knowledge and i'm sure they'll be a lot of folks that expressed interest in somehow wanting me to be a part of >> something. but ultimately, again, i want to make sure that so many of the things i care about continue to be supported. >> are you going to have a moment there in the mayor's office with the desk and just yourself and >> when you look back, close your eyes and think about your time being in there. what will come to mind? how are you going to like? say goodbye. >> well, i i meditate regularly. so i i've had those moments. i will say almost every day. i think people don't realize this almost every day i wake up and i think, wow, i'm the mayor of san francisco. and i still have to pinch myself like, is this really real? is this really true? and i get out there and that's why give it my all every day. i give it my

all. >> if there's been the ups, the downs in the in between, there's been things that i didn't want to do or didn't want to work on but needed to because it's in the best interest of the city. and so. saying goodbye because i don't feel like i'm going anywhere. you know, the thing i can say is not goodbye, but thank you. thank you, san francisco for giving me this extraordinary honor of my life that i never thought was possible for someone like me. thank you for given hope to the people of san francisco. i just feel there's more prideland there's a lot of excitement and joy because of what we've done and how so much of what we've done is finally starting to work as it should and people are finally starting to feel it. so i don't think this is like a by its. it's more of a, you know, we we need to be celebratory. we need to uplift our spirits. we need to start being the champions of san francisco and making sure others are not continuing to define us in a negative way when this is one of the best

president joe biden announced that health stop companies from drilling for oil off the coast of the united states. members of congress warning could raise the price of gas. our washington correspondent simlot explains. >> 2 weeks before he's due to

leave office, president joee biden announced he'll ban offshore oil drilling. ben jealous from the sierra club says that protects us speeches from oil spills like the one in 2010 in the gulf of mexico. the risk of oil spills as we saw with water. >> horizon is very, president. biden's order protects 625 million acres of federal water along the west coast, the east coast and part of the gulf coast just like. the whole ocean. president-elect donald trump has long been a proponent of oil drilling. we will drill, baby drill. i will reverse it immediately to reverse president biden's order. president elect trump will likely need congress's help those actions on energy and time energy policies. >> will raise costs even higher on the list. those families who can't afford congressional republicans say restricting drilling will make gas more expensive. another kick to the got of hard-working families, the u.s. energy information

administration says as of 2023, the u.s. produces more oil than any nation ever and exports more oil than it imports. a lot of what we're constraining honestly is the continued export this environmental advocate says he hopes president biden's order holds after he leaves office. >> in washington, i'm today some lot. >> a federal judge has temporarily blocked the release of special counsel jack smith for port on investigations into president elect donald trump. that will allow for an appeals court to review an emergency motion by trump's co-defendants to try and keep this report sealed. the 2 volume report is connected to smith's investigations into trump's possible hoarding of classified documents at his mar-a-lago estate at efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. the appeals court is expected to make a decision later this week. right now we're taking a live look outside here in san francisco. it quite. how are

their will chat with our meteorologist ka grogan about what's going on in the weather. yeah, pretty nice day today. obviously we're under wind advisory. so that's a bit of a concern. we're not having the trouble they're having in southern california, but certainly something to keep an eye on. but we are a little breezy out there. you can see in oakland right now. we've got 28 mile per hour sustained winds. so that is offshore wind, which if we were in fire season would be a huge concern. >> but because we've gotten some rainfall, it's not quite as dire for us. having said that, we or other under this wind advisory through 10:00am on wednesday expecting what we're seeing, which is 20 to 30 mile per hour sustained winds and gusts that could go upwards of 40, even 50 miles per hour. so far, not hearing of many power outages or anything like that. but just be aware that this is kind of happening. and as we go throughout the night, you can see future wind gust showing that some of these really start to pick up, particularly in the overnight hours. i think we could see some of this. if you look at fairfield there about 47 miles per hour when it kind of pulls back we get into tomorrow, particularly in the afternoon, you're looking at about 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

and then we're done with all of that. now, we do also still have the west-northwest swell that's been coming in. and i'm happy to say the wave heights have been too bad today. having said that, sneaker waves are still a possibility. so be careful if you're out at the coast that does go through 9 o'clock tonight. and then we should start to see that get a little bit better. now outside of that, you can see the wave heights here about 9 feet. so a little bit higher, certainly than they should be. but outside of that, we're really looking at kind of a nice forecast. temperatures have been very warm today because of that offshore wind. 69 degrees in san jose right now. 66 in san francisco and we had a few 70's earlier today. you can are sitting at 70 degrees right now in santa rosa. so obviously well, above average temperatures that are because of the set up of basically having this high pressure offshore. >> low pressure inland and getting that win gradient going. that's driving that wind between them. and that's what's allowing us to be warm. so that's the upside. and the downside is the wind. so we just have to get through today. and those breezes will

start to calm down. and then we've got some really nice weather as we head across the next 7 days here. you see lots of sunshine. we do cool down just a touch once we get into the weekend. but still lovely. lovely forecast. all right. and with just 13 days until president-elect trump takes office today, the biden administration presented california with a half a billion dollars for emergency disaster relief funding. >> it's coming as trump has warned he may withhold emergency funding for california. if governor newsom does not change course on some policies. we'll get the latest now from our capitol correspondent eytan wallace. >>gthis >> is likely one of the final acts of the biden administration set to impact the golden state. the presentation of this check for more than 500 million dollars the money specifically allocated for disaster relief set to eventually go to california to are impacted by winter storms that resulted in severe flooding, wind damage

and mudslides between december 2022. in january 2024. presenting the check u.s. department of housing and urban development. senior official marion mcfadden here on behalf of the biden-harris administration to bring half a billion dollars. >> which i know is much needed and folks have been waiting on for some time. >> she notes, well, fema is in charge of immediate disaster assistance. this federal funding from the u.s. department of housing and urban development also known as hud is meant to help rebuild down the road. people are not always aware of the long-term component of disaster recovery. >> and that's where the hud community development block grant disaster recovery funds come in because they stay with communities for months and years to ensure that that long-term work can happen. >> california department of housing and community development director, gustavo, velasquez, fao's. the funds will go toward their intended recipients. 2. most

importantly, to rebuild infrastructure after disasters rebuild. >> single-family homes rebuilt, multi-family properties and money to good use to become more resilient and mitigate the effect the future of stirred that much as we. wish they would not happen. it's very likely that they will continue happen. >> but if and when natural disasters strike the golden state in the future, not so clear is how president-elect donald trump ould respond just a few months ago while on the campaign trail. and he's rancho palace. verdes is golf club. trump signaled he'd be willing to withhold emergency fire early funding if governor gavin newsom does not sign off on trump backed efforts that supporters say will lead to increased water deliveries and water supply statewide. but % opponents, including the governor argued trump specific proposals will reverse protections for some endangered fish species and the environment of a new scam is going to sign those papers. and if he doesn't sign those

papers, we won't give him money to put out fires. >> and we don't give them the money to put out fires. he's got problems is a lousy governor at his budget. preview monday, newsom expressed concerns about what could happen when trump takes office and said there are several uncertainties that lie ahead for california walking into headwinds. >> radically different moment in u.s. history. world history, arguably. and as a consequence, we need to be prepared and a half a billion dollars in disaster relief funding will soon be distributed to local governments and agencies. if you think you are eligible, you're urged to check in with your local government. >> reporting in sacramento, eytan wallace kron. 4 news. >> still ahead, the world famous taco bell in has lowered what we know about lowered what we know about that. ry excited about saving big
