high wind warnings and red flag warnings until 06:00pm today here in the bay area. we actually see wind watches going back into effect today into the weekend in our upper elevations because of those 30 mile per hour is talking and you can see those winds picking up a little bit as we move into the afternoon. as for current temperatures, berkeley, you're at 56 right now. cool in palo alto as well as fairfield down in the 30's. so throw the jackets on this morning. if you thought it was a little warm yesterday, you are right. we reach the 60's and 70's and will do so again this afternoon, right? all right, john, thanks to that. what we had an accident along 8.80, in hayward. >> and that just cleared. so you have residual delays there. 32 minute, right? eliot are down to 2.37. along 8.80, this morning. your bridges a good 11 minutes on the bay bridge while you're taking the riches. summer fell. you're still under 8 and the golden gate bridge about 19 minutes on this friday. items back to you. thanks a lot. let's get to the latest out of southern california with the wildfires. look at that land. a glow here and burning just thousands of

suspect into custody. we're told people who live in the area spotted a man trying to light a fire. they held him down until police arrived. the lapd provided an update on their investigation. take a listen. >> what we know right now is that incident occurred started here and about 20 minutes, 3 minutes later, suspect was detained over woodland area. >> i citizens so someone purposely set the kind of fire. at this time. that's what we believe this. we know how or why they did that. i don't. is this a crime scene right yes. if everything goes off as being key, that's being investigated. >> well, right now, cal fire's reporting that that kenneth fire has burned some 900 acres and is currently 35% contained. firefighters say its forward progress, though, has been stopped. >> in northern los angeles county, the lydia fire has burned about 400 acres and

counting now, but it is 75% contained this and yeah, so that's huge improvement. this started wednesday afternoon near acton about 50 miles north of the city of la our sister station, ktln, posted this picture shows the big plumes of smoke coming from that fire in the angeles national forest. and then there's the hearse fire in sylmar. that's not too far from san fernando. it's burned about 800 acres. it's 37% contained. you can see crews dumping fire retardant from the air hitting that blaze as hard as they can. it started tuesday afternoon or evening. do so. it's been burning for a while. people in that area have been forced to evacuate. deadly eaton fire. that's the one in altadena. and that's the one that is really growing 13,000 acres. now and 0% contained and that one broke out. also tuesday evening during the windstorm. >> those winds were gusting upwards of 100 miles per hour

at times. and this new video that you can see here showing the mountains covered in smoke gives us a better look at just how big the fire is and how rough the terrain is. one woman lost her home to that fire. and she tells us that she's trying to pick up the pieces as best she can. >> a lot of people are kind of like a what we do next. we do next. like again, there's some people without housing. housing starts at don't home insurance. don't know what to do. so i think this is a direction to know which way to turn, which way to go. what do we do next >> yeah. right now the largest fire burning in los angeles county. the palisades fire has now burned nearly 20,000 acres and just like the last fire we told you about this one. also 0% containment. the new video shows that fire burning right outside the city of la sending huge plumes of smoke into the air and some neighbors in the area say they just can't. they really can't comprehend what they're dealing with right now. >> it's sort of mind boggling. >> and numbing and it's like

what you see on tv and now. >> you're in the middle of it. it's really just tragic. just really gut-wrenching. feels like the world to stop in reno. >> and this morning, we want to take a look at what the people in los angeles county are waking up its just charred buildings, melted cars, ash everywhere. the shocking thing is the death toll and the number of homes and businesses and businesses and buildings destroyed 10 dead and 10,000 structures have been bur for those affected. it's hard to find hope in all of this devastation. >> kron four's sara stinson reports, though, on the u.s. some of the hard work that firefighters have traveled from here to southern california havh been putting in. >> it's hard to put it into words. i mean, it's just absolutely devastating. and our community such tight, wonderful community. and it's just very sad if pacific

speechless after seeing the ly - destruction of the palisades fire. >> for the first time on thursday, video from above shows dozens of blocks decimated by the fire. the palisades fire broke out tuesday morning. an unprecedented winds fanned those flames across pacific palisades and malibu. at least 2 people have died in this fire that's now burned more than 19,000 acres. and officials believe the number of damaged structures several 1000. the damage in malibu is quite extensive. oceanfront homes and businesses can be seen burned to the ground. everything is destroyed. i mean, it's it's like it's like a new town. it's just. >> and nia lead, it's like a war of words here. >> alec gillis tried to save his girlfriend's home, but sadly, it too, was lost my heart. my prayers go out for everyone that was really affected and so much of. >> but people lost in these houses is. somebody replaceable.

>> and 5 people have died in the eaton fire, including 82 year-old rodney nickerson in altadena his daughter kim ago says he had been through fires before and thought he could survive this one to you said that he felt this was not pass over and that he would be here. he's been out >> as long as i've been living my whole life. i came here home as a child. born in kaiser permanente and sense. they brought me here to this house and i've been here my whole life with him. i heard a commotion, oakland, native and now los angeles resident shane reagan was keeping a close eye on the neighboring fires when a fire sparked wednesday close to his home near the hollywood hills and literally a mile from here on the hill. >> are just shine. flames just be an increasingly thankfully. fire crews stop the spread of the sunset fire. reagan says this put him on high alert. >> and out of precaution, he's staying with family members elsewhere. so you can do is really just stay attentive try to adapt quickly and consider.

>> you know, evacuating yourself. i'm sara stinson reporting kron. 4 news. >> well, among the agencies sending crews to las angeles is the oakland fire department. 12 firefighters have been sent so far on thursday. fire chief damon covington warned, though, that oakland city closing 2 fire stations to help close 129 million dollar budget deficit is a gamble that the city just cannot afford. in light of what we're seeing there in southern california, he says had the 2 fire stations closed earlier this week been shuttered during october's keller fire. then oakland could have seen the same devastation that we're seeing play out in los angeles right now. >> we don't have our full compliment of fire service. 3 months ago. we could be looking the same way la looks per person is having a heart attack or seizure port, a structure fire. we could be 10, 12, 15 minutes away because now we're coming from 4 districts. a way to get to that call. >> the city is receiving more than 2 and a half million dollars in the next several

weeks from unexpected revenue with the oakland coliseum and rena sale last year. but even if that unexpected, money is able to say one of those 2 fire stations for more are still slated to close in february. >> we've got the very latest at kron 4 dot com. we have all of the information on the fires. so head there and you'll find out about the latest containment, which scott a little bit better this morning. but meantime, again, so many structures have burned down. so many people killed that that the news is just horrible 609, right now. and still ahead, macy's and kohl's are closing locations in multiple bay area shopping centers. we're going to take a closer look >> at that and criminals are taking advantage of empty homes in the wildfires that are going on in southern california. we'll see how law enforcement responding. plus, after the break, we're learning details about the poor people found dead in a santa rosa mobile home neighborhood.

>> 6.12, right now we are 4 things to know today. drivers in alameda keep your eyes open for a new traffic signal. its at wilma chan way in atlantic avenue. there's a bicycle signal there, as you can see and a red arrow. i sorry, a red turns are prohibited at that intersection. so you will see red arrow saying no turns. san jose mayor matt mahan has update now on the city's plan to remove rv's that are parked along streets like you see here, the city just okayed a program that will allow the

tolling of rv's that are parked on some streets and it takes effect next week. san francisco zoo gets the seal of approval. the u.s. department of agriculture the zoo's license after conducting a comprehensive inspection. the animal areas earlier this week. so they say they have humane handling and sanitation and shelter from extreme weather. treasure fest is taking a break for 2025, it usually happens 2 days a month on treasure island, but they just announced yesterday that the treasure fest is taking a break. we don't know if they're going to try bringing back in 2026, but it's not going to be happening this year. >> well, the moraga orinda fire department is going to be conducting a prescribed burn later this morning. it'll be at 10 o'clock at the moraga lafayette border right near sky-high drive just east of prague. a road right near campbell into high school. crews are going to be burning, piled material out in open space. and you can see on the map here, the satellite view

exactly where we're looking at. residents in that area may see and smell smoke. please close your windows and know that this is a planned prescribed burn. so no need to panic. >> 6.14, now and looking outside nice. and still this morning at the embarcadero, something we don't take for granted anymore. right? those offshore winds are definitely still a factor in southern california, but they are definitely not as significant as what has been seen in today's the last day of these red flag warnings and high wind warnings, at least for now, for most of southern california. so at least a temporary site relief down there. we actually do see some high wind advisories going back into effect for parts of the bay area. only in upper elevations over the weekend around 30 mile per hour gusts. we are still seeing fire danger in those yellow, orange and red hues here on the map. but it's a little bit more limited for southern california, but they are certainly not out of the woods and in fact, into next week, we could see fire danger

picking back up again. now a little bit of a smoke impact for the bay area, especially this afternoon. some of that smoke drifts northward in especially may notice that are around the santa clara valley but just a little impact. in fact, a northerly wind kicks back up should push the smoke back down southward. so our experience with the smoke is actually not as bad as it could we are seeing winds picking a little back up today just towards that 30 mile per hour range for your wind gusts. so nothing too exceptionally windy for the bay. another low pressure actually breaks off the jet stream into early next week. now with this one we could be seeing into monday and tuesday, some more of these dry, offshore winds. southern california. this could be a bigger deal for fire danger and be a nuisance for us here up north as well. but it does not look to be as significant as what we had earlier this week in socal. now we've had a really warm weather yesterday in the city. we were in the upper 60's 50's and 60's today at the coastline. but still

solid 60's and even some 70's elsewhere, a few spots actually broke records yesterday, redwood city getting up to 75 yesterday. i've got you at 65 today. still in the 70's for san jose at 72 degrees east bay times pleasanton all the way up to 68 degrees. while oakland at 62, north bay temps, mostly 60's for you. we are going to be looking at a 70 in santa rosa looking ahead to tomorrow's temps similar to today's the weekend. super pleasant capitalize on it. get outside next week. looking like winds will pick up a bit towards monday and tuesday. >> and this is right with headline next draw time to start to go up just a bit. we're at 18 minutes on a friday and hoping they're able to get that accident off of the bridge fairly quickly. you can see things are going slow, especially for the folks right there in the middle. so again, treasure island accident accident there on the bay bridge. richmond summer film,

the san mateo and the golden gate. no accidents there. if you are taking those other routes earlier accident in hayward along 8.80. but that's now clear. but you already have residual delays. slow start. 31 minutes, atlanta down to 37 5. 88 82 still nice and light. and as traveling along 5.82 hayward, you make a good time checking one of the south bay still at the limit. 30 minutes. stanley and san jose down in menlo park. all right. james, back to you. thanks. a lot of 6.17, right now. this morning's consumer alert. experts say the destruction of all of those homes in the wildfires in southern california could drastically drive up home insurance premiums here in the bay area of the ripple effects. kron four's will tran live in a to explain. will. >> well, james, perhaps after this, if you even have homeowners insurance, whether or not he goes up, consider yourself lucky because there is a huge fear sweeping the

state that those insurance companies could end up dropping policies. in fact, they have been doing that for years and they did that recently in los angeles and the pacific palisades neighborhood that you recently talked about where thousands of homes in the la area just burning, went up in flames and more being threatened at this time. and you better believe state insurance companies. they know that all too well orinda. they know it all too well, because last year state farm dropped about 2000 policies. >> and this community saying that it is a threat to wildfires and it was not worth it for them to cover policies anymore. and that caused a huge uproar. as far as pacific palisades. well, state farm dropped about 1600 policies in that neighborhood just several months ago. so perhaps some of them this morning, they still don't have homeowners insurance, even though their homes are now demolished by the fires. here's kamala harris talking about the road

to recovery for those. we don't have insurance. >> sadly, many insurance companies have canceled insurance. for a lot of the families who have been affected and will be affected, which is only going to delay workplace an added burden on their ability to recover. >> and perhaps a bird they simply cannot recover from because a lot of those homes, obviously are very expensive. and that's could be the costly us fire in the state's history if this continues, because those are mansions in that particular neighborhood, as far as what's going on. well, a lot of those places in pacific palisades james they went out and got other forms of insurance called fair, which is basically a state law forcing a pool of insurance companies to come together to cover those homeowners. about one in 5 of them are covered by fair. as far as the in premiums. there is a chance

even though you might have your policy, those premiums could go up. unfortunately, the coverage could be going down. back to you. all right. thanks a lot. thank you. well. >> other news, the warriors head coach steve kerr is among those who have lost their memories, his childhood home burned in the palisades fire. despite this loss, his 90 year-old mother is safe. >> it's tough made families find my mom is in good hands and about better house is gone. and you know, so i've been on the phone with my. siblings quite a you family calls just with my mom and she's but she's got time. lot of support and friends. so she's safe and sound. you know, that's my hometown. all my friends who are from there pretty much they've all lost, lost their homes or their family homes. child homes are

all high schools gone. town looks like it. just been completely wiped out surreal and devastating. >> it's just a so many people with that same story. you steve kerr, the family of a uc berkeley football player is among those who have lost their homes as well. and that is a cal telling us the family of a freshman player's name is camden jones. they lost their home and belongings in the eaton fire. but again, they're safe. they were able to evacuate. and there's a gofundme for that family on cal football, social media. >> my next door neighbor said his quote there like 100 people that came up on scooters and we're trying to get into any and all houses on the street. >> yeah. and that's the you know, the next thing that police are having to deal with now as firefighters are battling the fires, this

problem, it really started erupting wednesday when the sun set first broke out was the looting of empty homes in these evacuation zones. the los angeles county district attorney confirmed yesterday that 20 people now have been arrested for looting. he expressed disappointment at having to address crime like this in the midst of a natural disaster. >> we're going take a break. 6.20, two's the time. still ahead on the kron 4 morning news. a crackdown in the south bay, unhoused people parking their rv's along streets and setting up encampments. that ban goes into effect next week. we'll tell you what

>> 6.25 in the north. they we have new details about the 4 people found dead in a home in santa rosa. the victims were family members. they were shot to death. the autopsies are set for today. officers were called to the home on court about 3 o'clock in the afternoon wednesday for a welfare check because the family had not been seen in days. police went in and that's when they found 2 men and 2 women age is 33 to 77 with gunshot wounds. they were in different areas of the house and a semiautomatic handgun was also found near one of the bodies. police also served a search warrant at a home on bueno crest court in san jose. they say that is linked to one of the victims. >> well, major retailers, macy's and kohl's is going to be shutting down stores that

several bay area locations. these are locations they say are underperforming. both companies actually made announcements yesterday. macy's said it was going to be shutting down 60 stores nationwide. kohl's said it would be shutting down 30 stores across the country. now, as for the bay area, kohl's says it will be shutting down 5 locations, including a location in fremont mountain view. and in sandra fell, they say these stores will close by april. meantime, macy's is going to be shutting down its 2 bay area locations, one in fremont, the other in corte madera. the company says the closures will happen sometime over three-year period. >> it's 6.26, and still ahead on the kron, 4 morning news. the wildfires in southern california driving people from their homes and look animals as well on the run will take a as well on the run will take a look at how you can excited abog

>> 6.29 right now to get a look at the weather going into the weekend. nothing remarkable at my house. >> the bubble is holding. we're the we're thankful have calmed down for us here. very pleasant. good morning, john. i will take the unremarkable to was nice and quiet last night. okay with that because a few nights ago it was really windy where i hey, we are looking at an easy travel day out of sfo here locally winds will pick up a little bit later on today, but not going to be near as problematic as it has been. in fact, we are seeing those red flag warnings and those high wind warnings expiring later today for southern california. we do have some high wind advisories in our upper elevations that will go into effect later on today into the weekend. as we do see 30 mile per hour gusts, mostly just for hillsides. those upper elevations, as i

mentioned this morning, it's a range of temperatures from the 30's spots like palo alto to the 50's and even low 60's in berkeley until just moments ago. so some of us more mild than others to start this morning. moving into the afternoon day time highs again in the 60's to low 70's, not quite as warm as our record. breaking day yesterday, but still very warm for january rain. and all right, tom, thank you for that. still tracking this accident on the bay bridge right near that treasure island exit. so >> you can see traffic is starting to look at the toll plaza as a result of that 14 minute ride into the city. and we went down last check and we're at 19 minutes. that accident was still there. so it's not causing a major delay, but it is slowing you down 10 along a richmond center fell bridge the golden gate bridge at 19. and let's check on some of those highways. like a 8.80. we had earlier accident there in hayward. that's clear. residual delays. patrick. 27 minutes during james. back to you. >> a lot of 6.31 and the palisades fire erupted like, you know, as seen from the

apocalypse now with the flames engulfing hillsides and just chewing through thousands of homes. yeah, just reduced to ash with courtney friel. now she got an up close look at what's been left in its wake. >> it was a hazardous driving to pacific palisades. this intersection was flooded. there are trees and power lines down everywhere, trash cans and debris littering the streets. here's the routes that burned and a look at the obliterated gal since it's like a war zone home after home decimated with only chimneys remaining few recognizable objects like this chart trampoline, someone's white picket fence stream melted. this man was too upset to talk on camera with me about losing his home on el medio. it says his 3 young children are devastated. he tells me the neighbors next door had just recently moved in their bmw, burned in the driveway. however, these properties and those heavily demolished in the alphabet

streets will likely have an easier time rebuilding than the homes damaged along pch and on the steep cliff site's developer just told me off camera. >> that a lot of these places aren't even going to be able to rebuild like that houses, for example. the foundation back in the day it was ok to build there. but now this terrain. wouldn't be legit for coats for today. >> all of the buildings that marquez elementary were completely leveled. and you can see in the background smoke from various house fires continues to rise. i also came across the dozens of cars near palisades drive that were bulldozed out of the way. and you can see several were charred. it wasn't all bad news. however. >> this is the pacific palisades women's club and we thought this completely burned down. but the building is totally intact. good news about a hidden gem here in la. this is the self-realization center.

>> off of sunset at pch. >> all of the structures around the lake are still intact. only the bathrooms burned down. >> from 05:00am this morning, there's very little water here and that's hard to do. so we're trying to do is utilize our tools. taking water from pools, using dirt, whatever were our boots just doing as much as we can? >> yeah, the firefighters talking about how they're trying to deal with the overwhelming demand for water. the cruise have had to deal with what to do when they come into a dry fire hydrant and dozens have been dry and that diminishes the water pressure in some cases. >> no water at all. >> the low supply is affecting residents, drinking water. now. >> all across los angeles, a notice from the counties system is advising residents to only use boiled tap water

or bottled water for drinking and for cooking and do further notice. the concern over dry hydrants is raise questions about how bay area officials could prevent this from happening here, a retired fire menlo park says it's not unusual to deal with water supply issues during a wildfire. but he says it's important for fire departments have good working relationships with water suppliers to be ready in case a disaster strikes. >> i don't know all the reasons of why they had the problems that they've had, but it would seem to me with with the forecasting for the severity of the winds. the potential for fire that they would have leaned in. to make sure that things were going to work. well, if they were worried about that, then you know, that bringing water tenders to make sure that you have a backup, they're doing that now. i know we have a water tanker that we've never sent out of the area and they're looking at some of that down in southern california right now. >> the former chief says that

there should be an evaluation over water supply once the disaster response in southern california is finished and he's as hopefully more backup plans will be developed from that. all but i know she's talking about on instagram. a lot us working hard to help those who lost everythin 18 volunteers from the red cross of northern california have stepped up to help. >> and they also mobilize truckloads of supplies like cots and blankets and water to assist thousands of people at 8 different emergency shelters. we caught up with the ceo of the red cross for northern california on ways that we can help. the fastest and most efficient way to make an impact to step making a financial donation. >> the other impact that we're seeing is a blood donations not only with winter weather in other parts of the country, but because of canceled blood drives because of the wildfires here in southern california. >> there are other ways to help as well. you can donate to the organizations that you see on your screen to help families impacted, including

emergency services for shelters and providing meals to first responders and evacuees. our parent company nexstar has partnered with the american red cross to launch a donation page for wildfire victims there in southern california. you can scan the qr code that you see there on the screen to make a donation. >> an urgent effort, meantime, is underway for the thousands of animals that are impacted by the wildfires in la. yeah. so the spca says animal shelter space is limited and kron four's. joey horta is live for us in nevada where an animal rescue group is on a mission to help out. joey, good morning. james, are you? good morning to you both and where to place. we're at group that is called loves legacy rescue and what they do >> is find foster homes for pets and put those pets into loving homes to help them out. and there's such a need for that right now with what's happening with so many animals impacted by those wildfires after their owners had to evacuate some of those animals

are injured. they've been burned and that's what they specialize in here as well. take a look at this video of those fires and gives you a reminder of what folks are dealing with down there. the spca in los angeles saying the fires have displaced thousands of pets at this point, their owners forced out of their home. so there is an urgent need for supplies and financial support to help take care of them. so with us this morning, we have amanda davis and she is one of the rescuers. good morning to good morning. how are doing? good. thanks for having us with the having us with you today and tell me about. >> this particular rescue animal. what is her story? so this is lucky. we rescued her from southgate down los angeles. she was found on the side of the road she was dying. she had a stomach full of dead puppies. unfortunately, she had been dumped by her owner. so we got 10 her video and we took her in and rehabilitated her and

>> her all the surgery she needed. and now i've adopted her and she is the right thing. >> and she beat cancer. you said yes. and she beat cancer and she's doing great silver lining to this story. and so she's an example of an injured dog that you've been able to recuperate. what do you need folks to do to help out similar situation now with these underdogs today? i think the biggest need right now is going to be donations and supplies and die is ideally what is what's needed right you say donations, what are your friend to so donations as in which is going to go towards purchasing supplies directly but also go towards the that's medical bills got. okay. let's talk about the game plan for today and into this weekend. what are you going to be doing? so this weekend that we have people on the ground in los angeles and they're going to be doing

supply runs with all the things that are donated. we have a few drop-off locations that i have posted on her instagram. and we are going to be taking those and bring them to shelters and 2 other rescue organizations. that means upset. and so the big thing is to help get those pets here, right? you want to try to bring some back and then if someone wants to help foster, what do they do? yeah. so we have a big foster program. we are surveys so we are going to be bring back some dogs from southern california and bringing back up here to go to foster families and hopefully find forever homes. so if you are interested in fostering, you can go to our website. it's loves legacy rescue dot com and fill out a foster application. we also have all of our dogs available for adoption on our website as well. >> and yeah. and you guys have made such a difference. how many dogs or pets in general have you already been able to
