>> you see this place going up in flames. what are you thinking? >> hard to comprehend. feel numb. i feel like. >> we of thought we were in the area. that will be all right. but back early this morning, tried to stay in. 7, but i could. >> well, right now, the kron 4 morning news. we're following the breaking news from southern california where sadly 2 people have been

confirmed killed in these wildfires that are continuing to rage through the los angeles county area. multiple 3 blazes breaking out overnight. we've got the latest. >> good morning and thanks for joining us on a very busy wednesday and daria and i'm james. yeah, you just saw there a moment ago. the latest images from southern california wildfires raging right now with officials down there in la county saying they're battling at least 5 fires that are actively burning couple of them. huge in size. and here you see the latest numbers that we've collected throughout our coverage this morning. now, that's as for active wildfires in los angeles county. but we did hear from a press conference. there is a 5th burning. it's much smaller in size. 2 of those fires are burning near santa assassin valley and coachella. as i mentioned, 2 people sadly killed in what's called the eaton fire. that's right. near alta, dina, 7,000 plus acres

burned so far with 10's of thousands of people evacuated. yeah. and there are more than 50,000 people that have been evacuated. their new evacuation orders and warnings. you can see that. >> in addition to the 7,000 acres burned, there have been over 1000 structures. many of them homes that have been destroyed already and the evacuation orders because there are thousands more homes in harm's way arms way right now. we've been tuning in live to our sister station, ktla and southern california. they've been walking through neighborhoods just it looks like it's pitch dark out because they can't see a thing. but the smoke and the flames, this suit is thick. it's carpeted everything. a lot of people had to run away from their cars because they were in traffic jams trying to evacuate overnight. so first light even risen in some neighborhoods because it's just dark with thick black smoke. and we'll bring you some of that live coverage here throughout the morning. so stay tuned for that. let's get the latest now on those winds. those have been the big

culprit overnight, john. yeah, that's exactly right. it's the wind in southern california. we also had it here in the bay. but southern california has seen the strongest of gas. >> and that's paired with something that we have not seen in the bay, which has been very dry conditions. we've been benefiting from multiple rainfalls la surrounding area has seen hardly anything that you get a dry offshore. santa ana wind and even in january, you can have extraordinary fire growth. we have these high wind warnings in effect for socal rue the afternoon into the early evening. well, our advisories just expired here in the bay area at 10:00am so winds are calming down for us here locally. compare local winds to what we've seen down south and we have seen extraordinarily windy conditions in the vicinity of those fires nearby. the even fire around altadena around a 90 mile per hour. wind gusts, wind gusts here in the bay area already having calm down and will come down further into the afternoon.

temperature wise, we're feeling really comfortable 50's to low 60's right now. really hard to be seeing the situation down south. and we've seen the winter rains. we've got the green hillsides and now we've got these really comfortable temperatures. but locally, it is a very nice forecast with highs in the 60's and increasingly common conditions. back to you. all right. thanks a lot. let's continue our look at the breaking news in southern california. and we've been watching live pictures coming in from our sister station, ktla. >> where they have reporters roving through neighborhoods that are actively burning with cars that are burned out one, how seems fine. but the house next door is half engulfed in flames reyna. harvey takes a closer look. tory james officials are saying to people died as a result of these fires and multiple people are hurt. flames driving residents to make those desperate escapes from burning homes, including a ban in cars. you see right there which block the path for firefighters trying to get through. >> the eaton fire burn unit altadena which is just north of pasadena now responsible for the deaths of 2 people.

the fire started around 6.30, yesterday evening about 40 miles away from the palisades fire that's grown to more than 2000 acres. there. and hours before that fire, a massive blaze ripping to pacific palisades. that's in western la county over 5,000 acres have burned there in total over 1000 structures have burned down in the county. at least 4 separate blazes burning in the metropolitan area from the pacific coast inland to pasadena fire officials are putting out a plea for all duty. firefighters are asking for help. the weather conditions were too windy for firefighters to use aircraft to fly. >> this is dynamic situation. we've got fires throughout the entire county which are spending our resources very short. this is a tragic time in our history here in los angeles. but a time where we're really tested and see who we really are. and it's critical that at these times we be patient, be prepared. >> if you are in the warning area, make sure you have your

essentials, your important paperwork, your medications, things that you can take your phone charger to survive for at least a week. but if you are told to evacuate and given an order, there is nothing worth your life. please listen to the police and fire officials that are out there and be prepared to evacuate. >> fire officials also say that a firefighter suffered a serious head injury in pacific palisades we're going to be following this throughout the morning. so stick with a story. and we do know that there are other people they said were also seriously injured as well. we'll continue to follow that. meantime, in the bay area, the winds haven't been as bad, but there was a small. >> grass fire that broke out last night and fairfield those off of green valley road. you can see the response here. it only burned about an acre and they got a handle on it. and at this very moment, the moraga orinda fire district is doing a controlled burn in orinda. it's near edgewood drive just getting underway at

10 o'clock. and then 10:00am tomorrow. they'll do another controlled burn of piled materials in the tunnel. east bay between wilder and lost valley. they want to reduce the wildfire risk and maintain the ecosystem. they say that if you see smoke and flames, this is a planned burn. so they do they know about, you know, need to call 9-1-1. but if you live in the area, you may want to keep your windows and doors closed. >> all right. back in san francisco, of course, that city is going to be welcoming a new mayor today very soon. danielle lawrie will be sworn in. we've got live coverage from conference will tran. good morning. well. >> we are less than 90 minutes away from its starting and we are at the corner of grove and polk. and you can see over my right shoulder that is city hall. no traffic allowed to pass through it. in fact, you cannot even walk into the front of city hall on polk street. it is completely shut down. security airtight as so many dignitaries and other people showing up as we speak will move the camera and look

at that. look at that. they have to go through metal detectors, of course. and it is a line that is snaking around. you can see police officers, they are obviously fully equipped for today. not to mention the average getting the assistance of the security guards as well as the san francisco county sheriff's office through out in full force as well. making sure everybody is protected. my camerawoman yulia sevice brings a good note to this thinking that maybe security is even ramped up today based on what happened in new orleans last week. so everybody is going to be screened before they go in and in the middle of civic center plaza. that is the platform where, of course they will all begin at 11, 30. he is still mayor elect until that time. but after that, he will be sworn in and will become san francisco's official. 46 mayor at 47 years old native san franciscan went to duke

university has never held public office. he kind dabbled a little bit in it. when then mayor ed lee asked him, hey, could you help out with the super bowl committee back when sa francisco the bay area hosted super bowl 50 and he did other than that. he's never done anything politically. so he will be the first mayor in san francisco is history since 1911 to hold office without prior holding any office inside there. i walked inside guys. it looks like a prom. the grammys, the oscar, you name it. they are getting ready, obviously for the biggest celebration in town. this is going to happen again at 11, 30 and we will begin covering it wall to wall starting at 11 o'clock. and by the way, avoid this area. if you don't need to be near it because traffic is a mess. >> back to you. all thanks. well, yeah. and as mentioned, 11 o'clock. that's when our special coverage begins right here on kron four's. you can

watch that inauguration ceremony from the comfort of your own home. just switch it here to channel 4 again, beginning at 11 to catch that. >> 10, 0, 9, is the time in the south bay. long lines of rv's along san jose streets could soon be gone. yeah. the city of san jose has selected 30 sites across the area where they're going to tell people living in rv's to either move except shelter or be towed away for just moment has more. living in an rv can be castle, noisy. >> and expensive. yeah, we've been having a lot of tickets for just by a parking overnight. michael petronella has collected piles of parking tickets while living in his rv off check in with avenue in san jose. but this green slip maybe the most consequential. a warning by the city of san jose. but his long-term parking spot will soon turn into a tow away zones. i think it's a waste of time actually november city officials enacted a program to take 30

streets in total around san jose slowly turning them into tow away zones should what is the first tollway zone on the list? the deadline is less than a week away. >> on january 13th, why was the specific location chosen? >> first. >> it's a neighborhood that has been significantly impacted. we've heard from many residents there, but that's true in other neighborhoods. and i want to acknowledge mayor matt mahan says clearing san jose streets of rv's is a long time coming saying many of them but get schools, shelters and other environments that can be deemed unsafe and of minimum people have the option movie. >> and while that's not ideal, the residents and small businesses that have had a an rv encampment next to them for a year or more deserve some relief shelter space around san jose is full as are their limited safe parking spaces for people to move their trailers but may have says he wants to see increase of 1000 shelter options for the new year. that includes a new safe parking site of berryessa

opening in february. i hold that. >> by. >> being out there and engaging with folks that are these, that we are also creating incentives for people to accept shelter and services or fine more sustainable. >> places to be. i mean, i don't think it's fair. all that they're trying to do is they're trying to cleave on house people away from the only sanctuary that they really have. sean cartwright is a local unhoused advocate. she says the safe parking spots that may be available are not ideal saying they're too restrictive to live in. meantime, michael has been forced to move his rv nearly every week and hopes that could ensue with some kind of help. and i'm the person that doesn't want to deal with any cops drawn. i just want to sleep and wake up the next day. >> well, as jack moment reporting for us again, oversized carson arby's will no longer be allowed on channel with avenue starting monday, january 13th, the next road to be targeted by san jose will be point avenue enforcement there will start

on january. 20th. >> it's 10, 12 and still ahead on the kron 4 morning news. antioch has a new acting police chief will tell you what people think about the what people think about the new chief and

i forgot to wash my work shirt. just wear it again! i added unstopables with odor blocker and it keeps our clothes fresh all day! [sniff] ooo, imma be feelin it at work today. she smells so good i'm actually paying attention! smell unstopable.

(banker 1) yeah! let's get started. (vo) ready to meet the dream team? you can with wells fargo. >> of course. all right. still southern california as they continue to really be just completely in the midst of rapid growing fires. it seems like one after the next. there are 5. >> but 3 major, massive fires, including the one above altadena, the eaton fire house aides fire in pacific palisades last night. altadena 93 mile per hour peak wind

gust 70 mile per hour peak wind gusts around pacific palisades and we are still seeing those strong winds. high wind warning still in effect. we just saw are wind advisories expiring in the bay area. and what makes this so different? well, we are not seeing quite as much fire activity because guess what? we've already seen our winter rains, southern california has not seen hardly anything at all. and it's not tell those rains get here. that fire season truly ends where we're at with our winds increasingly com today. by the finish of the day, it's downright still across the bay happen. bay going to be a gorgeous day out there to venture out, especially considering we got the sun. we got the warmth, but we don't have the winds as much as we did are offshore. winds are relaxing here locally. but southern california still has. there's the proximity to that passing low high pressure offshore. the gradient between the 2 is really stirring in those santa ana winds that dry, offshore wind just completely making humidity, bone dry here locally. we've got a comfortable forecast today.

it's hard to say that knowing what's going on to our south, but it is absolutely a good day to be getting outside and enjoying a bit. bruno at 64 degrees for your high san carlos. also at 64 south bay, close to 70 degrees much as yesterday was the rest of the bay area sitting in the mid to upper 60's as well. clinton i-65 today. yesterday was 72 in santa rosa that broke here. former daytime high for january 7th. now look ahead. does show dry conditions all the way through the forecast. likely nothing coming through till the middle of the month. >> and monitor what's going on in southern california. this is a live look and listen to the coverage. it's happening right now from ktla. our sister station. we do understand. they've also said in addition to 2 people dying in these fires that several civilians and firefighters have been hurt. let's take a brief listen into their coverage. see what's going on near montana. >> to give folks an idea of what we're looking at there. and it was interesting for the

first time to o see the feet an fire f om the sky. it is such a different experience when we were enjust seeing these pictures now and talking to andy rose moments ago, when you're in it and the sky is black and things are on fire all around and they are still very much in the middle of a very intense firefight. still dealing with these incredibly strong winds. and you can only imagine that when we see anthos gusts agagthat these embers and up, who knows. well, yeah, that's what they're trying to determine. we've talked about this before the blow torch effect. >> of these fires and you see the firefighter on the left side and pasadena attempting to put this fire out. 2 of them going at it with in the trees because these are particularly dangerous situations. these embers fly. it's up in the air. you can see them right there they go from a tree to a structure to another structure. and then you have entire neighborhoods that that are threatened by

this. so they are doing their best to get at this because these are the kinds of embers that that that move along kind. goldberg is with us right now. kai, the wind conditions. you don't have to be a meteorologist to see, but you can tell us what are they experiencing right now in terms of winds in that area? i can tell you firsthand this is my neighborhood. i just left about a half an llhour ago and it's the devastation is just mind blowing. if you live here. i live just i live in the north east village. so i on washington boulevard between hill and sierra madre boulevard and luckily we were evacuated late last night and i got back to the house this morning around 03:34am. and the winds were still up. if there were some gusts that were 70 75 miles per hour easily. but the strangest thing i was out on the balcony and at 06:00am on the nose. the winds shut down

completely. that wasn't even a breeze. plbut the winds began t ththe e wiwindnds s bebegigi shift. so it went n n to shshfr north easterly section of pasadena. >> over towards the rose bowl. so the rds winds begin to shift towards la canada flintridge and those particular areas. and that is what we're looking at on the right hand side of s your screen and you can see jpl is a little bit off to the right there. fortunately, no l damage there, jpl, but down into some of those gallese, some of those photos. there's a lot of horse property in there, too. so unfortunately, you've got a lot of animals that are in that area. and i know we've been showing folks trying to get some of their horses out and maybe the left some of their livestock go just to to save them. but the wind conditions in these particular areas are still ferocious. once we do make our way towards 2.33. o'clock this afternoon in this particular area of altadena. we'll start to see the winds beginning to relax just a little bit. but that does not by any means.

mean that this wind event is over in the same goes for the pacific palisades area. they should once again, 2.33, o'clock this afternoon. also see the winds begin to relax just a little bit. but the winds are now starting to shift towards orange county, riverside, san bernardino county. so even though we are seeing a little bit of a break in the action a little ttbit later on. that does not by any means that by any stretch of the imagination. justin franke me that this wind event is over. we're going to see these winds sort 'r'rbeen flow. you c see what's going on right now. a lot of dark e e smoke and we' watching, unfortunately, more structures becoming involved and really during any ramos shot many other of our live reporter shuts, you can hear explosions. and i heard that my neighbor propane tanks are exploding everywhere. also, transformers are blowing up in the e altadena communities. so it very dangerous and it is quite ominous looking because the sky is black. these are

again live pictures from ridge, cricket and rich is showing us this altadena area, but is going to be moving. >> momentarily over to the palace aides to show us the aerial view there, qaeda in the different hill communities experienced what exactly what o was predicted to be the mountain wave effect. yes of winds blasting out of the desert. warm winds and then coming down through the mountain passes and then hitting the flat line. there's an area of low pressure that camped out in the great basin over the last. 24 48 hours and over the last 2448 hours and has it just continue to make its way in a southerly direction towards central california. the 4 corner states that cold air mass that is entrenched in that area of co low pressure. it does. it makes its way up over the mountains, valleys, passes and canyons. the heirs compressed. it r r speeds up and unfortunately it dries the air out tremendously. that's our big problem for the rest of the day. even if you get a bit of a break in the winds, it is bone dry out. their relative

humidity values, 2, 3, 5%, at the very most. and obviously you can see what the result is. the trees, the brush, everything just ignite so rapidly. and it just explodes. and that's what igwe're witnessing this morning. and fortunately and and again, we have the red flag warning. it's in place. we knew, as you just mentioned, frank, i was

♪ like a relentless weed, moderate to severe ulcerative colitis symptoms can keep coming back. start to break away from uc with tremfya... with rapid relief at 4 weeks. tremfya blocks a key source of inflammation. at one year, many people experienced remission... and some saw 100% visible healing

properties also have turned deadly with 2 people dying and cacar they say civilians and r fafaci firefighters have been injured. let's listen in case and then hope that it doesn't happen. and you know, >> do it in as civilized. and it is a manner as you possibly can. we ititsaw, unfortunately, what happened in the palace aides with the traffic jam in the cars that were left my neighborhood. you could drop a pin in the mmiddle of night. you would hear it because it's so quiet, but miit became a in second. yeah. and it was incredible to see the amount of vehicles on a street that i live on that you might see 5 in one day. there were 500 within a half an hour period and people fortunately, we're calm, cool and collected some of the residents came out. they directed traffic. they helped some of the elderly folks getting some of the bags and things in n their cars. >> yeah. let's get back to andy rose. andy rose was harriet street and olive. are

you in the same neighborhood? still any roads? >> hey, just yeah. we are in the same neighborhood. we've walked a little bit further down all live. >> and just to get an idea because i know i keep saying how unbelievable this is, but i really just have to sort of see it with my own eyes. and so i've been walking block by block by block just to see the destruction, the todamage that has been left by the in fire. as i said, you will here that popping you will hear those explosions continuing to go on. it is incredibly he hot, but also what we're seeing is the moving of those embers to take a look at this as this wind continues. tableau, you've got a power pole like this one. that is, of course, on fire and what happened just literally d seconds ago. the wind blew. and amber across the street. and across the

street. a small fire. just started here. and while you might say that's not that much, it's really tiny. it's not that big of a deal. will a fire like this one then spread to a tree behind it or bush behind it or the brush.

>> 10, 30 right now and we're checking out the weather. it is windy out there, but not like in southern california where those winds of relief and the flames. and luckily for us that wind advisory has since expired. but john's been

back. 10. 43 beautiful day here in the bay area are winds are calming down. we've gradually senior mount tam camera shaking a little bit less and less as those winds come down for us. >> for southern california, not such the case just yet. we are seeing these high wind advisories as well as red flag warnings continued through 04:06pm, tonight. still some strong winds and bone-dry conditions. the thing that makes southern california and us here locally so different. they've yet to see hardly any winter rain. well, we've seen plenty of it, which is really helped us with our fire danger. we just saw are wind advisories expiring earlier this morning at 10:00am winds already coming down for most of us. and take a look at that. we only get calmer as the day goes by winds offshore. this is a dry, offshore wind and that brings

that dry desert air out to the coastline, most notably for southern california. low pressure right adjacent to la high pressure offshore and that gradient between the 2 just drags that dry air out towards the coast. that's what we're seeing here. that santa ana wind event in the middle of january and that without the winter rains is resulting in those rapid spreading fires locally, our winds calm down, which makes for a very pleasant field 60's all the way out at the coastline and plentiful sun all day long from the coast to our inland areas. do expect a good day to be venturing out spending that lunch break outside. these temperatures are well above average for this time of year. san jose at 67 for your high today, o%kland at 65 yesterday. santa rosa broke a record getting up to 72 degrees beating any january 7th, daytime high that we've seen as for next 7 days, temperatures do remain steadily on the warm side and steadily dry all the way through the end of next week.

back to you. all right. thanks. a lot is 10 45 and let's talk football. the forty-niners well. >> okay. well, go down south i know this is the way bigger story. let's listen in to our sister station, ktla, as david live throughout burned down neighborhoods, talking about the fact that this fire has now grown all 3 fires combined to more than 15,000 acres and 1000 plus structures burned. let's listen in. >> now we're getting a little bit of a gust. it comes and goes it's back and the players us to big problem here in pasadena. look at look at the look at the wires, you know, blowing here with the chip. are those going to turn my head a little bit is we're hoping those wires or d energized obviously. that's a >> tremendous danger. if they're not those firefighters that that we can now barely see through the smoke. were they able to find hydrant that

for the sure if we turn around e here, honor the one we're talking about that it was this one down here. re >> and the fire truck was coming from down the street where there's another house on fire. anotso i don't know if th have basically already have that one induced, but he was coming down the street walking coming d dowown n the e ststrer asking peoples are another 500 then we came around the an corner. you saw this one and they immediately brought the truck over and hooked into this one. and it does look like there's water coming out of that hydrant and they're probably taking it down to that house. like i said, these we can we can andre will get around the corner here. you know, this is one street. this is glenn avenue over here is montana. and again, there's a resident in front their home here in montana, watering down the property, the front of their property. but over here to the right. r on montana, this is where that house was. that was tough. i couldn't i was trying to come down this way ere hohou here. it's kind of get through heherere t that' this street. s but this house hg right over here, you can see it's h still burning. the flame were itso high and at the time

the wind was blowing some of the flames and the smoke. over the street. so it was ov impossible to plus, obviously, the etfire trucks where he ough to know do what we could look always the water. you could just see the water go through the hose there. so that definitely working but anyway, so that i know the funny thing is we're about the shifting ththining g isis wewe'r're abo shifting when not funny ththini bubut t lolookok at the ifif y andrdreaea s seeee the smoke wh it's now. it looks like it's actually blowing a different direction than it was when i got here when i got here, it was watch your step watch host. as i got here, it was blowing over the street now seems to be blowing the opposite direction. and if we come a little farther, andrea, e we can see the backyard of one of these homes here. drthis is on that. we're on montana, montana limit on montana. this is kind d of saw the home next to this one on glen was on fire. now we're on montana can tell that one back. there is still the one fion a on glen or if it's actually caught part of this property here on

montana. but but just, you know, resources stretched completely thin. i mean, the there there they are trying got the call that they've got news. they got water in it and you can see the water. >> attack that's happening during that test. yeah. >> here we go. here go. you want to see the water? yeah. we getting from the background here. yeand it's and it's such lot do and what they can and yeah and doing what they can. honestly, at this point, it's almost impossible to save the home. >> that's a blaze there. they're trying to keep. yeah, the flames from from reaching the other homes that that are are not on fire. you know, we saw those embers we saw the homeowner a moment ago with with the garden hose. and while that can be effective knocking down small spot fires. we've heard from officials over and over again

that that the trying to prewar at your roof or the your lawn. lalawnwn that's not very effective in these kinds of conditions because the fire is pretty heating ahead of it. dry conditions. essentially the water is evaporating before the fire gets there and looking to see the water. what is happening e.now starting? >> maybe triple, go talk to them. but during that press conference, look, he's going don't that it's unsustainable to fight multiple wildfires from our hydrants that they just don't the water. they've been around the and then and then you lose the pressure. pressure. >> and in this case that they're they're changing out the nozzle. i don't know this. this is simply a case of of that, an equipment malfunction. but no, you see that there is no water pressure going through it right now. maybe though the fired back up. >> you know, i i think i think, yeah, i think he asked them. i o ink he asked them

hold the water pressure upon the change to the nozzle. if they had they stopped a while. so that could change. that is what i and is that it was that a propane tank or something in the foreground there. that's a that's also. >> one of the dangers isn't a chair. you know, that would make sense to because we've heard quite a bit of popping a, you know, in different areas and never know what it is. >> but yeah, it does look like a a maybe a burned out for pain tank. it's hard to tell whatever it is. but you when your you know, that's walking over inside the park a little ways down to get over here, you know, use hear, pop, pop, pop. yeah, you don't. and some of the ladder than others then and you don't know exactly what ever, you know. an what, what all that means are there they go. they're getting that water pressure again. they're they're trying to get this one out look at the number comes from the smoke on us a little bit. there. >> what esessusurere if we and could, if you could just pan over this way, you can see this house. we're in the driveway of it seems to be fine. but there's a garage attached to it right here. that is completely engulfed.

we just heard another pop there. yeah, we're going to back up a little bit here. >> euro, one of biggest dangers in these homes is the the embers fly into the eves of the home. once that happens, it is very difficult. and in these are hawind driven fires to stop it well, the beauty pasadena architecture is now turning out to be a detriment because these homes that were built in the 19, 100's 1920's, 1930's. >> there are eves. there rafters. there are openings. it's the style, if you will, of the homes. and there's a lot of post world war. 2 concrete homes as well. but there's a lot of openings and these things become very flammable and you could be seeing embers with the amber spray that go through one of those eaves. they can sit for 15, 20 minutes an hour and then catch fire a little bit later on. so even though you think you could be in the clear it's what you really

can't see. that is quite dangerous. >> i think as we look at this > i i ththinink k asas wew 2 to thin this fire has been ink k burnin since 06:30pm, ababouout the fa you can think about some of these firefighters who have been on the hours and hours and just, you know, fighting through the i would imagine the hunger, the fatigue, all of it to save life first picture second and its. it really is remarkable. and even this morning they talked to some firefighters and you could just see it in y their face. >> but just like the other gentleman that any rosalia interviewing earlier, a lot of o the fire many, a lolot of enforcement there in pasadena, a they're homegrown. so this means this hits home. this is our personal to them very much. so they know these neighborhoods very well. they live in these neighborhood. they have fat friends and family that are in these neighborhoods. so they're going to stay up without sleeping. they're going to step without rest are eating because they have to try and battle this blaze and just
