southern california are gaining containment on the deadly wildfires ahead of power for potentially dangerous winds. also, governor gavin newsom cutting some red tape to help streamline and speed up the road to recovery. and how a bay area community and sharing a glimmer of hope as they are

also rebuilding from a devastating wildfire. we have live team coverage. thank you for joining us here on kron. 4 news at 3. i'm justine waldman following a weekend of kind of calm conditions. crews in southern california are expecting. >> the fire conditions to flare up again this week because of strong winds. we're taking a live look now at the current efforts to put out the fire. also taking a look here at some of the areas that have burned in the rugged hillside in los angeles county. the can we hear zooming in on areas that are just part of the acreage acres of destruction. we do know that at least 24 people have been killed and thousands of homes and businesses have been destroyed. and there is some containment on some of the bigger wildfires. we're expecting an update. new numbers any moment now. kron four's terisa stasio starts our team coverage from the newsroom. she just heard from

officials. yeah, there's just so much worry. the 4 largest fires in los angeles have consumed an area larger than san francisco. >> now following a weekend when crews increased containment of those fires, there's now heavy, gusty winds threatening for progress. >> as the increasing wind event is upon us, doubling down as we speak. the los angeles city fire department has maximized our resources capabilities and response capabilities. all available. elliott, the resources have been staffed. i strategically preposition engine strike teams and task forces which are dedicated to rapid response for any new fire on monday los angeles, fire officials facing yet another red flag warning with high winds predicted to whip through southern california. >> causing more concern on top of already catastrophic conditions. >> the national weather service is predicting close to hurricane force level winds. and so we're making urgent

preparations. my top priority in the product. priority of everyone else is to do everything we can to protect lives as these winds approach. la city, firefighters and firefighters from across the county state and nation and even overseas or in a proactive and strategic prost to save lives. >> the wind alert going into effect is not as severe as what unfolded last week, but the worry is that it could start new fires and create more destruction. >> over the weekend, some people were given the green light to return to previously evacuated areas. but los angeles fire chief christian crowley also urging people to stay away from scorch neighborhoods because fires are still burning and ash can contain harmful and toxic materials. about 50,000 people remain under evacuation orders. crews from california and 9 other states are part of the ongoing response that

includes nearly 1400 fire engines. 84 aircraft and more than 14,000 people, including newly arrived. firefighters from mexico. cal fire official share that while aircraft are playing a key role in helping stop the spread of fires. the wind alert does pose challenges. the problem is, is. >> when you have a sub state over 40 miles an hour is the issue. the problem is the gop's. so the peek in and the aircraft limitations or capabilities are then limited based on the approach and departures as well as chief mentioned, the accuracy. so the usually each aircraft will have that limitation based on the manufacturer's recommendation. and then as far as the safety component, usually the limiting factors gusts over 30 miles an hour.

>> and their says a lawsuit filed today against southern california edison claims at the utility's equipment sparked the eaton fire in addison has acknowledged fire agencies are investigating whether its equipment may have started a smaller fire that sparked the same day. the official cause of the fire has not been determined in the newsroom. theresa stasi, back to justine theresa, thank you. >> upgrade your ballot in >> a new images now from napa, firefighters who are battling the palisades fire. and you can see the crews working there to try and save a home and neighborhoods. crews there are working. 24 hour shifts to help. >> improve the containment winds. the palisades fire, 14% containment, even fire. 33% containment. so there has been a lot of progress over the weekend. but the winds that are coming could threaten to undo some of bad meteorologist cover it here now. may think

that's the real danger that is here is that not only did they lose and, you know, the the upper hand where they've gotten some fires, but that potentially could spread. and you look at the red flag warning, you can see it now does extend farther to the north. >> heading towards santa barbara and into parts of central california. so red flag warning right now goes until 6 o'clock wednesday. but you see pds, that's a particularly dangerous situation. that is a very rare thing that the national weather service puts out and they put that out for 04:0%am tuesday until noon on wednesday for portions of ventura county, both of the valleys and also the coast and also into parts of west la because they're concerned about these winds. they're going to be kicking up so this is the one to watch, right? they are not expecting it to be as severe as last week. having said that, it is not going to help. so what's happening here? you can see how high pressure kind of stacked on top of low pressure that's still bringing those to pressure gradients together. it's still driving some of that offshore wind and that set up. it's called a rex block rate. when you get that high pressure sacked on top

like that and really kind of stopped the weather pattern. so what's happening here is we're kind of stuck in this where we've got some of that offshore wind that is rolling in. as you look at those reds as those purples, that's where those higher gusts are going to be as we head into tomorrow. notice particularly early in the day with that particularly dangerous situation heads out. that is when we're going to see some of that wind pick up yet again. and those numbers get a little more dangerous. so they are under high wind warnings. wind advisories now in southern california has this incredibly dangerous situation. unfortunately just continues. it looks like by the end of the week they will start to get a little onshore push that should help a bit. and certainly looking forward to seeing that change. thank you. governor gavin newsom has issued an executive order aimed at streamlining the process of rebuilding homes and businesses. >> that means a wide range of building permits and reviews needed for new projects will be suspended, making it easier and faster for people to get help. the measure also extends laws against price gouging for building materials and

construction costs until next year. state agencies will also be empowered to find creative ways to stream on rebuilding and recovery efforts in los angeles county. now this afternoon, the los angeles county district attorney announced 9 suspected looters at alleged arsonist are now facing charges. this is coming as california's national guard has sent in more than 2600 service members to los angeles, not only to helping the firefighting efforts, but also to protect properties against looters. several of those arrests. several of those people arrested had previous felony convictions and at least one item allegedly stolen was an emmy award. and for many people who live in santa rosa's coffey park, these devastating wildfires in southern california are bringing up memories of their own horrible losses. it was october 2017 when a deadly wildfire ripped through that north bay community destroying hundreds of homes and properties. kron four's will trend continues.

our team coverage if anyone. >> can feel the sympathy, the pain of la victims, its people in santa rosa coffey park neighborhood. that's exactly my location. 7 years ago, it looked just like this 8 years ago, actually in 2017, it looked just like this. and then the fires broke out and it wiped out this community. look at the homes. what do you notice? all of them? the same age because they were rebuilt pretty much the same time they look brand new, even the road is brand-new are relatively new because it had to be rebuilt. coffey park was level like a mega ton bomb just landed at this location 8 years ago, forcing so many people to flee. i actually got a chance to talk to a woman who was there in the overnight hours. she had to scramble with her family as well. by

mexico when she didn't say anything i didn't know nobody knew and i remember i screamed at her and i said, don't you ever leave like that again? i was like everything is gone. you have nothing just like what it was like, your car, your everything is done. whatever you took with you you have no. >> what can you say to los angeles? i mean, it was their hope. it take a hope that there is hope there is hope. it's hard. it's not going be easy, especially. for those people who lost everything. but there is hope. and she said hope comes one day at a time. just put one foot in front of the other and keep trying. and that's exactly what they did. but when i approached or it brought back all kinds of memories that i actually apologize for picking

a scab that you can see that this is so personal to them that when i first started the interview, she said help them help them, meaning los angeles. fortunately she is okay. and she passes along a message of love to la victims and she said it's going to be ok and one final thing she said in that overnight hour as she was desperately trying to get ahold of her and with tears in her eyes, she and her family fled to egg abe because she figured that's the only place they would have water and some shelter for her family. >> our parent company nexstar is partnering with the red cross to raise money for wildfire victims in southern california. you can scan the qr code on the screen right there to help out. still ahead here on kron, 4 news at 3. but the white house as help displaced families cruise. >> we're fighting the fire. plus, some people in the south

projects. and today they're making a promise to share some of that wealth with small businesses. on monday, more than a dozen bay area transit agencies including bart caltrain, the golden gate bridge district signed on to what is known as the equity and infrastructure project pledge. it's an informal commitment to try to hire historically underrepresented businesses to work on big projects. for example, if a transit agency is trying to build a new facility, they might try to hire small businesses, especially those run by women for minorities to complete the work. the goal of the pledges to try to spread around the wealth and opportunities created by these projects for the next 10 years. we're looking at about 10 billion dollars right of capital projects. opportunities for historically underutilized business is in the bay area. >> to partner with the bay area by increasing the representation of historically underutilized business is we are supporting the economic

>> the changes include the yellow line ending at sfo instead of millbrae the millbrae station being served by a train that runs every 15 minutes after 9 at night. and 2 of those trains will be timed with caltrans schedule. so by sinking their schedules with other agencies, bart is hoping to make it easier for commuters. riders are encouraged to check the schedule. has some departure times are going to shift just a few minutes. all right. let's take a live look outside right now here across the city of san francisco. it's monday. we're kicking off another busy week here in the bay area. meteorologist cobra gun here now with details on what's going on outside. yeah, beautiful day out there. no doubt about it. we started a little breezy, a little cool out there to some of those upper 30's this morning. >> but right now, blue skies, a little bit of offshore wind. you can see that there's take a look at the flag on the right side of your screen. temperatures have been really nice and hosed a 67 degrees. they're talking about 10 degrees above average once again with these warm temperatures. 68 right now in

santa rosa that 61 and you can see san francisco hanging out at 60 degrees, not bad wind. we were under wind advisory that did expire a little bit early. you can see why because these numbers have come down. having said that, still a little bit of an offshore flow that is happening. that is a bit of a drying wind and you can see where our relative humidity levels have dropped a bit. right. so we're in the 20's in our inland spots. so just a reminder that this does cause drier air. now, another thing that it will cause is clear skies when we get some of this high pressure in control and we're going to see that tonight with a full moon, by the way, this is a wolf moon tonight for stephen the the new year. and you can see temperatures are going to be chilly because of those clear skies. so frost advisory now in place for a good portion of the bay area. it starts overnight. tonight goes till tomorrow morning. so get ready for that because some of those temperatures in the wind sheltered valleys could get down to about 34 degrees. i'll be back in a bit. we'll talk more about the weather that's happening in southern california. all right. a man has been arrested after trying to shoot a muni driver this

tool available to support the firefighting effort. the white house says hundreds of federal personnel are now in california. >> to help local officials compact deadly wildfires still raging across los angeles. the situation remains extremely active, especially as winds pick up again. >> the national guard and u.s. army are providing aerial and ground support. los angeles mayor karen bass in california. governor gavin newsom. they they remain in close contact with president biden to expedite aid to the thousands who have now lost everything as of sunday. 26,000 people registered for fema assistance. he stepped up in a way that american president should step up. incoming president donald trump continues to blast news them and basses leadership on truth social writing. they just can't put the fires out. what's wrong with them? it's incompetence at all levels here. california republican congressman doug lamalfa

insist the fires could have been prevented. it's an incredibly unnecessary happening in california. democratic congresswoman judy chu says the blame game must stop these wildfires. don't have any political affiliation. they don't belong to any political party. >> and despite their political differences, it does look like the democratic mayor of los angeles, karen bass. >> hats off to the republican incoming president. donald trump. she says that he's informed her, that he'll be visiting the area for now in washington. raquel martin, back to just and raquel has president elect trump promised to continue to provide federal aid once he's sworn into office. it's unclear. but traditionally we do see a better federal response to any or natural disaster across the country. and we're hearing some early discussions on capitol hill about exactly what that a package might look like. we are hearing rhetoric from republicans indicating that they're not going to hand over what they're describing is a blank check to the state

of california say they want strings attached to it. the speaker of the house 2 days in he is evaluating. if they're gonna tie it to the debt ceiling, which is a more controversial, debate that happens on capitol hill every year or so. but that's already getting some pushback from democrats. that could cause some delays in this 8. and there certainly a lot of urgency to get billions of dollars federal aid to california as soon as possible. they certainly need that money. raquel, thank you so much. again, we're waiting for the president to speak when it happens. we'll bring it to you live here on kron. 4. >> fire crews from all over the country have been helping to contain the wildfires, including several crews from the bay area. kron four's jack molmud lets us know how they're doing. >> of all the horrific scenes shown from the thousands of acres scorched and lives ruined by los angeles fires. photos show with the panic and terror cemented into history.

photos also show the heroism of firefighters from all over the country to kind of get in job to kind of help. >> so when you kind of have incidents like this, of the magnitude, you always want to go. you always want to go to. that includes crews from the bay area. >> a lot buddies back from back home are down here, but they're just keeping busy port carlos or to with cal fire czu. it's a song bird reunion seeing his bay area colleagues battling the worst set of fires. the state has seen. >> in a couple of years and then this is what we call over. zoom or test shows us the staging area for cal fire trailers for interviews, press conferences and meetings. very much like a miniature city port is job is going to grocery stores or wherever people congregatetand give them vital information to keep themselves safe. >> and about the next face, now that the fires are just starting to get under control was a fire runs through. it's important for us to be able to give the right information for the people when they start to

repopulate. so everything gets done right in orderly fashion. and that next phase includes coming home for thousands, knowing many of those won't have a home to return to it all. >> it's like the national guard and dozens of fire departments all helping the cause. the damage here will be felt for generations. the unknowns are up. >> pretty scary. crews are having a cautious mindset, though, knowing increasingly intense weather events are becoming the norm. are changing. >> but we just got to be fluid and change with them and it will be fine. >> jacques moment kron, 4 news. >> morgan hill start-up is lending a hand to the wildfires in la county with a new type of fire suppressant. komodo fire systems is shipping out its fire suppressant spray. the company says this product uses natural chemicals and is nontoxic. they also say the product can distinguish a fire but also prevent it from spreading, although they're still working

using it. >> use it to protect their assets. whether it is a power station, whether it is a battery maybe a poll, a power pole. >> right now, the company says it is working on a way to get airplanes to drop this fire retardant onto wildfires. and once they do that, they think that other agencies will be more willing to use the new product. >> we're taking a live outside right now at our camera. that is. >> a helicopter over southern california. we've been kind of been checking in on these images from above us. we can see the situation there right now. the camera here just showing us some rugged hillside. they're working really hard right now to contain the flames. and meteorologist kyla grogan is here. no details on what they're up against. yeah, that's right. so when you look at, you know, what's going to happen in today with some of these fire fights that go on, you look at a couple things. number one, how drier with the drought monitor showing the central and southern

california, obviously. >> quite dry. comparatively speaking to northern california, you look at the wind, both the northern and southern california experiencing offshore wind. but southern california seeing more intense you can see that in those colors. and then, of course, relative humidity levels. so that is how dry is the air and the darker the color is the more dry the air is. and certainly again, once again, you see in southern california, they are incredibly dry because of this offshore wind that keeps rolling. it dries things out. so traditionally you start to see high pressure on the other side. the sierra, when you have santa ana winds, just explain to kind of where this comes from and what they do is they build and then it rushes down the mountains. and when it rushes down the mountains that compresses and warms the air than its journey takes it across deserts, and that, of course, dries it out even further. and then we bring it into the canyons that squeezes it and you get more of that compression and then rushes out to the ocean. so that's the journey. the path that this takes and the way this wind kind of dries the air out as it makes its way along. so offshore wind is exactly that.

it's coming from on shore to offshore. and that is why we do have these high wind warnings that are up 02:12pm, on wednesday through the la area and then also to the south of they can see that wind advisory. this is where we're at for gusts right now. you could see some of these numbers are up there in the 30's and, you know, take your eye to the colors on the map, really because a lot of these don't have gauges. and so you're seeing where some of it kind of shows up as we roll through the next 24 to 48 hours. so it's going to be a little bit of a rough ride. i mention that they're under that red flag warning that does continue, unfortunately for the next couple of days, it does look like they do get a break. once we get into friday, looking forward to that. but right now the potentially dangerous situation is from 04:00am tuesday to noon on wednesday. that's going to likely be the worst of it for this week. and then in general, they're under red flag warning until 6 o'clock on wednesday. back to you. pilot. thank us. people. away from the flames in southern california. a lot of pets were left behind the san francisco spca. >> among the organizations heading south to help to

create space for any rescued pets. the shelter is waiving adoption fees for its puppies. there's also they're saying lots of cats available. they are all spayed neutered microchipped and vaccinated. especially now we knew we wanted to make space so we can alleviate our shelter partners down south that are being devastated by the fires and so waiving adoption fees is. >> defeating that barrier. getting those puppies home and making space for animals that are adoptable in shelters down south so they can make space for their fire victims and for owned pets that are to be reunited with their owners. hopefully soon. the san francisco spca plans to head to southern california at some point today and then make another trip next week. >> some areas damaged by the fires now have access to the internet after elon musk donated tesla, cyber trucks that carry starlink. the trucks are being used as mobile bay stations to provide power to starlink internet terminals areas without wifi.

musk says the deliveries of the cybertruck's to future owners may be delayed. now as a result of this donation. fire crews with the las angeles fire department getting. >> a warm welcome there. added in and out burger over the weekend, entire restaurant. >> standing up, cheering, clapping, thanking the first responders for their hard work. the burger chain has been providing complimentary meals for those on the front lines. so they gotta iceberg or possibly and a standing ovation. a lot of bay area residents and businesses have joined forces in the east bay to try to help out the fire victims. they're sending donated goods to people there. kron four's and see ford visited the donation site in emeryville. wildfire victims on their path to recovery after flames tore through

>> kapur elaine marshal say they worked with several volunteer groups who will organize the items and send them to relief centers in la to distribute to families. and they have lots of colleagues and friends who've had to evacuate. and many of my friends their children, schools have burned down. many of the people donating on sunday have family and friends who live in the los angeles area like megan maples who donated baby supplies like unused nursing covers and baby clothing. as a new mom, i can't imagine having everything that my family worked so hard for taking away. and so i i felt very just heartbroken that. >> so many families are just experiencing such heartache right now in virgina proper local business owner who collected and brought over hundreds of items within her to sprinter vans just like the fires, it spread just like that. that donations and >> that really makes my heart. i'm definitely adrenaline right now. but my heart is just so open. the rest of the
