evacuation order. please leave this causing a mass exodus out of the area with some people having to abandon their cars to run to safety. crews had to use a bulldozer to move the cars out of the way for firefighters, their families up their their pets up there. there are people who really need help. actor steve guttenberg lives in the area. he jumped into action, moving cars and helping others evacuate course. you know, we've got a huge fire up there. we've got huge winds right now. it's really important for people to help each other. we still don't know the exact number of homes that have been destroyed. but video shows several swallowed by flames. theirs definitely houses it engulfed. so there's fire in a lot of multiple areas from the embers, i suppose before declaring a state of emergency. governor gavin newsom visited the fire zone and saw firsthand. >> the impact of the swirling winds and embers and the number of structures that are destroyed, not a few many structures already destroyed

and the fire is only expected to continue to grow you at right now. >> right on the beach that saw across the street from pch on the fire's been moving in this direction pretty much all day. i believe it did jump pch. and i was told to a lifeguard stands, had suffered some burn damage. >> due to high winds, cal fire had to suspend some of their aircraft. so that puts even more pressure on the crews on the ground. meanwhile, la fire has called all off-duty firefighters to come help out because it's truly all hands on deck. i'm sara stinson reporting back to you. >> hands from the bay area to are down there helping well, last night, oakland fire department posted on x that they're heading south to help crews their fight. the flames. so they'll be joining allegheny county hayward and fremont fire departments who are also sending units down there as well. >> meantime, here in the bay area we've talked about how our winds have died down a

bit. but there are still concerns because we do have high wind warning. and in fairfield, you can see what happened. a small fire vegetation fire broke off out yesterday off of green valley road. you can see that firefighters got a quick and alana to burned about an acre 706, is the time right now. and starting today, the moraga orinda fire district is going to conduct a. >> controlled burn. they're doing this near edgewood drive in orinda starting at 10 o'clock this morning and same time tomorrow, 10:00am another controlled burn. there. they're going to be burning and in the area by the tunnel east bay between wilder and lost valley. they want to do this to reduce the greater wildfire risk and to manage the ecosystem. so if you are in the area and you see smoke, they do know about it. although if you smell smoke, they recommending that if you live in that area, you keep your windows and doors closed. >> all right. happening this morning, san francisco will be welcoming a new mayor. daniel

lurie is going to be sworn in at 11 30 this morning. a crowd was will tran is live in san francisco with what we can expect. well. what we can expect is a lot of traffic problems around city hall. so if you need to go around here, this is your time to do it because they will lock this down in about one hour from now. just to give you full disclosure, we have been moved several times already and i've been told, come 8 o'clock. we will have to move. >> because security will be airtight. we will step out of the way and show you what's going on right now. you can see all the barriers around civic center plaza. they have security sweeps constantly throughout this area for the vip who will be in attendance and started gathering as early as 9 o'clock this morning with the swearing in ceremony at 11, 30. so this place is going to be the hottest ticket in san francisco to get into and it will be the safest place as we expect countless police

officers to be here. as far as daniel lurie go ahead and call him mayor elect for now because come 11, 30, you would be wrong because at that time he will officially be san francisco 46 mayor. he actually won on november 7th when mayor london breed conceded that she lost. so he becomes the new mayor of san francisco beating up fellow democrat london breed. he ran on many platforms and he spent a lot of his money, 16 million dollars to get to this location. and most of that money came from him. he comes from wealth. he is the air of the levi strauss empire. his mom actually donated 1 million dollars actually mention this because he is not an insider. and many people seem to like that as he is the first mayor in san francisco to be elected without ever serving governmtnt seat since 1911,

the only dabbled that he did james and darya was back in about 2015 or so when then mayor ed lee asked him if he could help with the super bowl committee as you might recall, super bowl 50 was in san francisco and he helped out as far as his platform. he is tough on crime. he wants to beef up the police staffing. he wants to tackle open air drug use. and of course he wants to tackle one of the biggest problems, if not the biggest problem in california, homelessness. back to all right. thanks a lot. we'll and don't forget, by the way, you can watch the mayor elects swearing-in ceremony to become the new mayor. san francisco. we're gonna have it right here on kron 4 with our special coverage beginning. >> at 11 o'clock this morning. well, for merced, congresswoman jackie spear is among 2 new women that have sworn in to serve on the san mateo county board of supervisors. spirit will represent district one, which includes the cities of burlingame, hillsborough, millbrae and san bruno. she

saying in part, quote, the assertions in corpus is claimed that she has been discriminated against, harassed and defamed and more because she is both a woman and a latinx person are completely baseless and a distraction from the issues that give rise to the present circumstances and quick. the board of supervisors, by the way, have placed and amendment on the march ballot asking voters to give them the power to remove her from office. all right. 7.11 that i'm here are the latest pictures from southern california. the altadena fire. again, this is where fire, which is burning in altadena. and you can see it's destroyed. >> homes and there's an example. one going up in flames right now with firefighters on scene in some cases letting it burn because it's beyond hope for saving. we'll be right back. yes, so set those images from southern california. we're grateful our winds are calming down, not a lot of movement on the flag there at the embarcadero. >> speaking of that fire burning just outside of

altadena. here's that peak wind gusts from last night at fire. now 3 miles per hour where that with the oakland hills 54 miles per hour. so hills 54 miles per hour. so very much so still windy my kids can't hide anything from me. i'm home! especially when they've been using toilet paper

we're starting to see it here. as as as carlos stre establishes. >> is with the sunrise? we are. getting the scope. of the devastation that has happened. you know, at least of 3 major fires burning for a number of hours across southern california. homes have burned in all of these areas and continue to burn and are continuing to be fed by these winds that will continue to push embers into other homes. we will see entire neighborhoods devastated. at some point today, just when able to actually see these neighborhoods until now, we've watched individual homes like this unone burned. >> we've in in the night sky orange flames consuming what appeared to be neighborhoods today. we're actually going to see toneighborhoods where homes are burned to the ground.

entire neighborhoods. >> it is going to be devastating. and and i wish that it was going to be over soon. but with with these winds continue to blow, henry, is it? it's not over. and, you know, there's some good news to be had. i mean, we're hearing from eric spillman has been on the omfield. carlos. megan, tel that it appears as if the winds in many of these areas >> are not nearly as strong, but it still those wind gusts and those gusts to become shifty and just flare up. they'll be around for 10, 15 seconds. so we're seeing a little bit more lows in the wind, but we still have a very >> it's covered your partner the tea la live right now. >> at the eaton fire, which, of course, is burning nearby, pasadena and the community of altadena. these fires, 5 of them spreading rapidly in southern california. and the biggest factor here has been the extraordinarily strong wind gusts 90 mile per hour.

plus, wind gusts in those mountain sides above la. of course, we have the fire burning around pacific palisades, which has been devastating as well. these high wind warnings and wind advisories will continue into early evening tonight for southern california. so that is something that as they were talking about is indeed the wind will continue for several more hours now. you compare that with what we've got going on here in the bay area. first of all, we've seen a lot of winter rain. they haven't gotten that yet down south. that's been the biggest difference in the biggest change maker for us. keeping us from seeing so much fire risk. we are seeing our high wind advisories expiring this morning at 10:00am. so our winds are already in the process of relaxing. so some good news for us here at home. you do see it's still breezy. here's the top of mount tam. that camera does have some shape to it. obviously, still of brew bit of a breezy start. but look at how winds do come u% down more and more progressively through the day by the finish of the day today in the bay. it's downright

calm. it's going to take longer for southern california to come down as these offshore winds are something that especially southern california is in the midst of because of this low. that is traversing just east of them and a high just to the west of us between that a very strong, dry, offshore wind from the interior out towards the coast for southern california. they're known as santa ana's. and this is your characteristic santa ana wind event. temperatures in the 60's for us in the bay area today. it is going to be a mild day at the coastline. honestly, a great coastal day. if you've got the time 60's for the rest of us as well. millbrae at 62 degrees. carlos at 64 south bay. temperatures in the upper 60's with santa clara and san jose. each at 67 today, east bay temps low to mid 60's for you. yesterday was actually a record breaking day for santa rosa getting up to 72 degrees. breaking that record for january 7th today of got you at 66. a look ahead. does show gradual cooling into next week. but no

causing a disturbance in stealing alcohol. and he was later charged also under prop 36. >> well, california's homeless population remains the biggest in the nation, but new federal data shows the crisis is growing more slowly here than in most other parts of the country. so the new findings from the u.s. department of housing and urban development. they had their point in time count and it shows its increase just over 3% in 2024. compared to the year. pryor now two-thirds of california's homeless residents sleep outside. that's actually the highest percentage in the country and that highlights the states need for more shelter. but the number of young californians who were homeless without a parent or a guardian actually fell 11% last year. ok, quick look again live in southern california following the latest on all those fires that are burning right now. >> burning homes and neighb

>> 7, 2, 8, 9, right now. and we are looking at well, a live shot here of sfo doing fine. but the airports in southern california have seen so many cancellations because the wildfires and the winds have been making a really tough to land or take off anywhere. john, good morning. wind down there has been exceptional dry conditions on like us. we've had our winter rains, but la. >> not so much yet. they're actually way behind average and those contributing factors have added up to a really tough scene for so many here in the bay area. we have been windy ourselves. our winds are calming down, though, still watch for some stronger gusts around the golden gate. those high wind warnings in southern california will remain through 06:00pm this evening. back

here at home are advisories are expiring at 10:00am. so we're already on the tail end of all of this strong winds this morning. but you can see them coming down through the day by the finish of the day were downright calm. really nice. and still temperatures in the 30's fairfax while 50's in oakland and san francisco, most of us are fairly mild to start. go ahead, throw those jackets on later on today. very much so. and the mild side again with highs right back to the 60's rain. and all right, john, the major delays still an issue. all suffer line on bar set some earlier equipment issues. and fortunately, although it's been resolved, it's still a delay there. so that's probably going to be there for a little while longer. >> still, major delay on the u.s. a full line, 90 minute ride into the city. a busy morning commute. at least you can say things were not shot at by that fog. 13 on the richmond, sandra fell about 17 on the san mateo and a 31 minute run on the golden gate origins. back to you. thanks

to la. let's get back to southern california. you're looking at a live shot of coming to us from a neighborhood. >> where there's a huge firefighter response here. this one looks like there's plenty of smoke, but we don't see the flames. we already know that this fire in altadena has shoes through more than 2000 acres and destroyed many homes is not contained at all. and this is the story with firefighters going door-to-door. we've seen a lot of them just sort putting their hoses wedding down. you know, the tops of roofs that are already on fire. in fact, you can see this one on the right hand side is aglow coming from that house. lot of people at no choice but to just watch their homes go up in flames and just be happy. they get out. if you look at the 3 biggest fires burning a total of 50,000 plus, people have flee their homes right now. >> so we also have a look at the cal fire map here. our banner at the bottom blocking one of there's an icon down there as well showing fire there and scattered throughout

the whole laarea. and that's kind of what firefighters are dealing with, the largest burning right now is in paciic palisades that's in west la county that was burned nearly 3,000 acres. so far this talked about the fact that there's power outages a lot of people had to leave their cars in the middle of the road. gridlock trying to get out. >> schools are canceled in the la area. a lot of districts canceled with the kids, you know, not able to go into their neighborhoods. we've got the latest from news nation say they want. >> you could see the flames behind and i can really fill in their intense. and here's the other thing with the winds being so powerful near hurricane force. you see all the embers blowing. we've been here now for about 20 minutes. this house behind was on fire. the embers blew up to this home over here. and now this home is on fire to give everybody at home a little perspective. this area has never seen anything quite like this. this is unprecedented. we're only a couple miles away from the beach. these homes,

multi million dollar homes and each of them that we have seen so far completely reduced rubble. i mean, just take a look around. this is what it looks like. just giving everyone an idea at home what it looks like. you see how strong the winds picking up the embers. that's why it is so concerning. because it's going from home. and we're taking a step closer because i mean, just look at how massive those flames are. >> i mean, we've been through several neighborhoods already. we started about 02:00am. >> local time we're going from neighborhood to neighborhood cars, completely charred homes, completely charred. thick smoke everywhere, blowing. we had to put on the goggles and then every once in a while, you just hear a loud bang, it's almost like an explosion. you don't know really what it is or where it came from. and then all around. you can kind of see just the aglow. it's like at

the end of a campfire, right? you're getting ready to be out of the fire. and then all the sudden you see a glow. that's kind of like what it in the surrounding area here in palisades. the only people we have seen so far. >> first responders, obviously this is an evacuation zone. >> first responders. >> media and that's it. i'm a little worried here because here's why. officials say it's only getting worse. >> and for the state senator who represents the area where the eaton fire is burning. this is hitting close to home state senator sasha, rene perez tells our a town wallace that her loved ones had to evacuate their homes because of the fast moving fire. >> it's a very scary, very surreal moment. my aunts, my brother, my cousins, you know, all live in sierra madre and and have all had to evacuate more than anything. i just want folks to know, you know, if you're receiving an

evacuation warning to take that very seriously and and to prepare to evacuate. >> perez says that she and her family are safe. now and she has been up all night on the phone with senior officials cal fire from cal oes and the governor's office to help coordinate state resources and assistance for her district. >> well, meantime, here closer to home, we've got mayor london breed reflecting on her time in office in an interview with kron 4, we asked if she thought there was anything unfinished that needed to be done before she left. and here's what she had to say. >> ayres, 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.

>> well, mayor breed plans to be at lori's inauguration later today. meanwhile, a san francisco police department is no longer under state oversight. the eight-year long supervision from the california department of justice began back in 2018 when it was found that the sfpd had outdated use-of-force policies and lacked accountability. according to the report the police department has implemented 263 of the 272 reforms that were outlined the remaining 9 reforms are in progress. >> it's 7.36, and the woman who was kidnapped and raped in a notorious case out of a in 2015 is now speaking out. and this follows news that her attacker is facing new charges. crump charles clifford has the story. >> 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 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 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 result, 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. >> it's 7.39, and the biden administration has presented california with a half a billion dollars for emergency disaster relief. this comes as pres elect donald trump has warned that he may withhold emergency funding from

california if our governor does not change course on some policies, the money is going to be used for disasters in the future as well as helping those who are still recovering in our state from the major flooding and wind damage that we had from storms over the last few years. 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. >> now that the money is in california, the next step is to have it distributed to local governments. and then from there, people can reach out and determine if they qualify for the assistance. >> football, the forty-niners and fire defensive coordinator nick sorensen and are now on the martyr in the market for somebody to take on that role. although sorenson has been fired. technically the niners say they do actually want to keep him in the organization

in the defensive coaching staff in some capacity. we'll see if that. comes to pass. but in the meantime, there are some names for possible replacements that are being floated around, including former jets head coach robert solow, who was formerly the forty-niners defensive coordinator before he left. there's also former 40 niner linebacker jeff over it. both head coach kyle shanahan and niners gm. john lynch are set to talk about this later today on what direction the team will take going forward. so we'll let you know what they have to say. >> except for you right now. and did in the live coverage happening in southern california and our sister station and they're in the middle of these neighborhoods that were just swept up in a wind storm. and now a firestorm in los angeles county. there are 5 fires. 3 of them are huge numbering in the thousands of acres. and you can see that many homes have been destroyed. we're continuing to watch their weather and years. >> fortunately for us, our winds are calming down, but we had pared our winds with some

already pretty wet conditions. southern california, not as n% lucky. and take a look at some of those nearby gas to fire near alta, dina 93 mile per hour peak gust last night in the palisades fire. 76 miles per gust. that's the rapid per gust. that's the rapid expansion of these places. ry excited about saving big

spread of these fires in southern california. he's really been because of the strong winds which we've had ourselves in the bay area, but they haven't had all the winter rain that we've had. so everything is still very dry down. there may be january, but without the rain, it is still fire season for southern california. these high wind warnings and advisories continue down in socal up until 06:00pm tonight. so we are still in the midst of some potentially strong winds, although you are hearing them, they're talking about winds in that area had calmed down there temporarily. now, of course, the huge difference for us has been the fact that we've already seen so much rain this winter in northern california. it is completely different situation for us. fire season having a bit of a damper on it. when you get everything turning green again, we do have our high wind advisories only until 10:00am our winds already having really calmed down significantly. still a little breezy up on top of mount tam. if you look closely at the screen here, you can see the

way go on this camera view. it's still breezy for sure for some areas, but winds will continue to gradually come through the day and especially towards the finish of the afternoon. we're going to be very still as we finish off your day, winds are pushing for inland areas out towards the coastline. it's exactly the same for the bay area as it is for southern california's first, the setup goes. they are just closer to that passing low and that is why winds in southern california and really across the sierra specially have been so so strong that low exits the region and that will allow all of us to come down for the rest of the forecast. very good news there. 60's for your highs across the board today with this offshore wind transport, some warmer air towards the coast. that's those 60's at the coastline. very nice coastal day as winds do start to calm down redwood city at 64 for your high south bay temperatures, upper 60's santa clara and san jose at 67 east bay temps low to mid 60's for your highs today. oakland, a nice 63. yesterday was a

record breaker in santa rosa getting up to 72 degrees. shattering that january 7th record. as for next 7 days, we do gradually calm down and we're definitely calmer starting this afternoon into tomorrow. as for the weekend, staying dry, no sign of rain just yet likely not over the next 10 days reyna. >> morning lows on the east bay all the way down to the south you're seeing a lot more red green along 80, even 8.80, traveling from hayworth to fremont. well, what wanted to 80 in the south bay, you're seeing that congestion starting to form bay bridge commute around 18 minutes with no accidents heading into the city this morning, the richmond, sandra fell bridge 14, the busiest at the toll plaza. once you make it past that smooth sailing, if you are taking bart, we still have that major delay on the sfo line. that's in all directions. now. they have worked to solve that issue. but the delay is still there. so i'm not sure how much longer that will be. 60
