12:01 pm
much for joining us here on kron. 4 news at noon. i'm stephanie lin. >> firefighters are making progress. tackling major wildfires burning in the los angeles area. let's take a look at a live look from one seen here. there are 5 active wildfires burning right now in los angeles county. the palisades fire has burned more than 17,000 acres. the eden fire has scorched more than 10,000 acres. the hearst in libya fires have combined burning more than 1000 acres, but says that fire burned almost 50 acres and together those fires have killed at least 5 people ravaged communities from the pacific coast to pasadena, 180,000 people are under evacuation orders. hope was to also has a breakdown of the numbers and what we know so far, 2 recent i stephanie, we are learning a lot today and it is jolting taking in the reality of this calamity.
12:02 pm
>> stop and take a look at this. this is a bird's eye view from a helicopter flying over the devastation of pacific palisades. you can see home after home completely gone. the toll is still being calculated, but thousands of homes, businesses and other buildings have been destroyed. you can see the scope of the destruction caused by this wildfire fueled by ferocious santa ana winds. speaking of those wins, they have reduced in strength, giving firefighters some opportunity to rein in the blaze is here is the latest from los angeles officials. >> we expect winds to subside somewhat. which will allow fire crews to increase containment lines. however, i would be very clear here as well. we are still under red flag warning with extreme fire behavior possibilities. damage assessments are ongoing at the palisades fire. however. preliminary reports estimate
12:03 pm
the damage or destroyed structures to be in the thousands. it is safe to say that the palisades fire is one of the most destructive natural disasters in the history of los angeles up and down each one of the blocks. i traveled those houses no longer exist. they are now basically rubble. and i haven't seen something like that. i've lived here almost over 60 years in the entire time i've been here. it looked apocalyptic just totally chilling. >> again, the numbers are staggering. 180,000 people under mandatory evacuations. 200,000 in evacuation warnings. these fires have consumed roughly the size of san francisco while the palisades and fires are not spreading significantly, containment remains and 0% again. the death toll also expected to rise. now that cadaver dogs and search crews are searching rubble. we'll
12:04 pm
have much more throughout the day and always on kron. 4 dot com reporting in the newsroom. back to stephanie. such a heartbreaking situation. thank you to resell with hundreds of thousands of people under evacuation evacuation orders, rather some of those evacuating are reporting signs of looters. >> rummaging, rather through homes in those affected areas. one woman was in disbelief over what she was saying. >> it was wild. we just start seeing all these cars pull up. doors open groups of men running first street going up to the doors of these houses and we weren't sure what was going on and thinking these people here to help my neighbors. i hope so. and i left and then my husband to talk to the police and said were those guys do i beat these guys? don't live here. get him out. my next door neighbor said. his quote, they're like 100 people that came up on scooters and we're trying to get into any and all houses on the street. >> and did you physically see
12:05 pm
police officers stopping i didn't. it's not to say that they weren't was so incredibly chaotic and it was so worried about. >> my big family and getting them out of our old tinderbox of the house i was just focused on them. first. >> well, this morning, the los angeles county police sheriff confirmed arrests of looters in the area. >> continue to conduct roving patrols. manning hard road closures, providing security in evacuation areas to preventt anyone who may be tempted tempted. to engage in criminal behavior or behavior like looting. and i'm going to make this crystal clear to everybody out there. last night. and this morning we are up to 20 20 individuals who chose to go into our areas and deprive these poor people who have been through so much of their property. as you know,
12:06 pm
when we have an evacuation order by law, if you remain in that area, you are guilty of a misdemeanor. if you commit certain crimes that could jump up to a felony. i'm going to be asking our employees to start enforcing that. that is very different than a curfew. why? because it's 24 7. if you are in one of these areas and you do not belong there, you are going to be subject to arrest. california attorney general rob bonta is warning about scammers during this catastrophe. >> he says they see it now has a they see this opportunity now as a way to take advantage of people who are vulnerable. the scammers are and these scams evolve. links that are sent to cell phones or and the they might also offer services to you. and the best rule of thumb is if you don't recognize a charity that's reaching out to you don't give them any of your information or money. but this is that price gouging can also happen after a major incident like this one. >> we often see price gouging
12:07 pm
during these difficult times. and there are anti price gouging laws in california. penal code 3.96, which prevents increasing the price of certain goods and services over 10% from the price they were before the declaration of emergency. you see any of those prices increased over 10% from before the declaration of emergency in ventura county or in la county. please let us know. >> take action against looters. firefighters from the bay area are down in southern california right now to help battle those historic wildfires. our coverage continues with kron four's joey horta who shows a look at the toll this can take on firefighters. >> these men and women are working around the clock. they don't know how long they'll be there and the work they're doing takes a toll on that both mentally and physically as well. just over 30 firefighters from the san francisco area made their way to los angeles last night. >> and rested up before they deployed this morning. they

12:46 pm
burned more than 670 acres. bolivia fire has burned about 350 acres and the sun set fire in the hollywood hills has burned more than 40 acres. all right. well, 45 now this afternoon back here in the bay area live look outside at the golden gate bridge overseeing some pleasant blue skies out there. we are certainly from the golden gate, right on out to half moon bay, blue skies today and very warm temperatures that have to say i've been watching these gauges and kind of double checking. >> because i'm going, is it really that warm there? and in fact, yes, it is. and a lot of places where a little breezy and fairfield right now, you can see about 17 miles per hour, a little breezy out of half moon bay. obviously nothing compared to what's been going on in southern california. but let's talk temperatures because san jose right now at 71 degrees were 60's around the bay itself. 62 san francisco, but head up to the north bay. we're at 74 now in santa rosa. that's at the sonoma county airport. so obviously we are overachieving with temperatures today going well above average, all about the high pressure, the blue skies. you can see not a cloud in the sky today. here as we
12:47 pm
zoom out, you see a cloud deck that is pretty far off shore. that is where that high pressure is. and that's what's allowing all those clouds going to shoot over the top of us. obviously, that wind gradient still in play there between that high and low pressure. so still a bit of a northerly direction and you can see that counter clockwise circulation from low pressure helps to drive that offshore. and that is unfortunately what's causing all the problems down in los angeles. so we are very fortunate, obviously today we don't have that to deal with. we have warm temperatures that are out there tomorrow. we'll be keeping an eye on our air quality because there is the potential for some of that haze to travel our way from those wildfires. and looking ahead, we do have more wind expected as we get into saturday afternoon and evening. that's when we're going to see some of that offshore wind pick up again at the moment. it doesn't look like it will be to the tune of any wind advisories will keep an eye on that because that is going to be a little bit of an offshore wind event for saturday into sunday. notice temperatures do start to cool down once we hit the weekend and then they cool even more as we head into next week. what you do not see in this forecast is any rain. we still
