fire in los angeles county. an arson investigation is underway with a man in police custody after residents say they caught him with a blowtorch roaming the neighborhood. >> we called the police and basically detained him here until the police got here. we're just trying to all protect our neighbors and kind of protect your families. >> and tonight, neighbors are taking matters into their own hands as the deadly wildfires devastate communities all across los angeles county. good evening, everyone. i'm mike mibach, and i'm cristina rendon. >> tonight, los angeles county coroner's office confirming ten people have now died from the fires. some progress is being made on the front lines, but conditions remain dangerous tonight. and firefighters are battling a new fire. the fire started at about 230 this afternoon in the west hills area near calabasas, right along the border of los angeles and ventura counties, and it quickly spread. this one burning nearly

1000 acres while containment stands at 0%. tonight, officials say forward progress has been stopped. according to the los angeles police department, this is being investigated as arson. a man has been detained thanks to neighbors who say they caught that suspect with a blowtorch and detained him with zip ties until authorities arrived. >> i looked outside and there was a gentleman with a blowtorch. like a propane blowtorch, like not a little one. like a full size, like commercial size blowtorch. and the other gentleman was yelling at him to put it down, and he didn't want to put it down. and we're like, no, no, no, you got to stop now. and he said, well, he's already tried to start a fire at my house. and so there was he tried to start a fire across the street, and he's like, he's got to stop. we need to detain this and call the police, get on the police. and so we called the police and basically detained him here until the police got here. >> police say that suspect is in custody tonight. the kenneth fire prompting evacuations earlier this evening. but those orders have been lifted.

>> now to the largest of the deadly wildfires, the palisades fire has burned nearly 20,000 acres. officials say at least two people were found dead in the rubble in malibu. more than 5000 structures have been destroyed, but tonight, containment has increased from 0 to 6%. over in pasadena and altadena, officials say at least five people have been killed in the eaton fire and several others have been injured. this includes a firefighter who is recovering tonight from a fall. tonight, the fire is at 13,000 acres. more than 4000 structures have been damaged or destroyed. containment. there remains 0%. some good news, though, in the city of sylmar. this is just east of interstate five in the san fernando valley. officials there say the fire is at 700 acres. it is now 37% contained and evacuation orders have been reduced. >> while firefighters are now able to build more containment lines and at least some of these fires, crews still have a tough road ahead of them. >> ktvu bailey o'carroll joins us now here in studio with more on the fire fight, as well as

the heartbreak from all of those who have lost their homes, in some cases, loved ones as well here. yeah. >> just devastating. you look around, you see all that video and you just can't fathom the amount of destruction that has happened in la, the fires still burning out of control tonight. earlier today, though, some people started to go home to see some of that destruction in their own communities. utter destruction. nearly the entire pacific palisades community wiped out by the palisades fire, which authorities confirmed has killed two people. the fire still burning out of control. just one of the many actively burning in l.a. county. >> we are not through this by any means. we keep seeing these fires pop up in different places. we may see more before this is over. >> a new fire sparking this afternoon. the kenneth fire burning near the woodland hills in calabasas. >> at the rate of spread and the density of the communities in this area, it is serious. >> a scary situation now

trending in the right direction thanks to a strong attack in the air and on the ground. crews have stopped forward progress, but their work is not done. the still working to get the eaton fire in altadena under control. at least five people have died in that fire and it's burned more than 5000 structures. for the first time, some residents were able to return to their homes, many faced with their worst fear. >> i also went back to. make sure my sister got out and which she actually didn't, which makes it even harder. >> zaire calvin and his neighbor and friend philip are both trying to cope with their losses. >> we've lost everything. our home, two homes like, didn't have time to get everything out of the house. >> the suffering is widespread and according to officials, it's not over as winds are expected to pick up again. >> i want to be very clear here as well. we are still under red

flag warning. >> and senator adam schiff with a stern warning to those in evacuation zones. >> if you're told to evacuate, then get the #### out. you might think you can outrun a fire. you are not going to outrun these fires. >> devastation there. crews continue, will continue to work through the night to get some of those big fires, hopefully just a little bit under control. the big fear, those winds picking back up. but i do have to say i know we were talking about this during that story, just how impressive it is that those helicopter pilots can make such calculated drops. and i know that's really been such a big help in this precision drops, indeed. >> i mean, but to think about it, neighborhoods changed absolutely forever. and the homes i mean, you can rebuild. i keep thinking about all the memories. yeah. you know, especially for childhood homes. and think about our own childhood homes and what you take away from that. they'll never have that again. from the particular home that burned more than 10,000 structures gone just

like that. all right, bailey, thank you. thanks, guys. appreciate it. >> the aerial attack resumed today, dropping much needed water and retardant on the flames. fire crews from around the country getting a break from the extreme winds. but gusts are expected to strengthen again. the fires are prompting the closure of schools across l.a. county. there are widespread gas and power outages, as well as concern for the smoky air and polluted water in the area. tonight, officials are warning conditions remain dangerous. they are urging people to remain vigilant as the loss begins to set in, and the death toll is expected to rise. >> at one point, we'll be able to do a more thorough search of these impacted areas. some of them look like a bomb was dropped in them, where we will be able to bring in canines and other things to help us. >> the l.a. sheriff says 20 people have been arrested so far on suspicion of looting from some of these evacuated areas. governor newsom announcing tonight that he's deploying the california national guard to help support law enforcement in

protecting fire zones. >> and new video tonight showing the moment a home in los angeles county became engulfed in flames. this ring camera footage is from tuesday, the first day of the palisades fire. as you can see, the powerful winds there just whipping the flames across the home's patio deck. this is just one of many homes destroyed in that particular fire. meteorologist roberto gonzalez joins us now here in studio. roberto, what's the latest on the winds down there? >> well, we have several fires to talk about. so first things first, let's talk about the latest, the kenneth fire. this one broke out at 334 this afternoon. it encompasses two separate counties, ventura and los angeles. that's where we currently have the evacuations. the current air temperatures very mild in the mid 60s. but look how low the relative humidity is at 12%. the winds are slight, but the gusts have been picking up now. meanwhile let's traverse on over to the altadena fire where we do have the air temperature at 58

degrees. this fire appears to be climbing more up on the hillside now. and notice that northeast wind at five miles per hour. that's a typical offshore anna santa santa ana condition, with the wind gusts at eight miles per hour. so that has subsided in the past couple of hours, but will increase by tomorrow morning. now we head to the ocean and because of the proximity to the pacific ocean, we do have a little bit higher relative humidity. at 25%. the winds are gusting up to about ten miles per hour. and again, that is a slight improvement than just a couple of hours ago when we were seeing wind gusts up to 30mph. so here's the very latest. this is what you need to know. we do have that red flag warning in effect until 6:00 tomorrow night. high wind warning in effect for the mountainous areas and the wind advisory for tomorrow afternoon. now, meanwhile, if you want to break this down, the red highlighted area, that's where we're seeing the gusty winds. and we do anticipate them 50 to

70mph. now meanwhile, the wind gusts to 30 and 50mph in the blue highlighted area. so again this encompasses a couple of different categories from ventura all the way to los angeles. but i got to tell you, i'm still very worried about the san diego area. now here is our projected smoke forecast. because of the offshore push, the plume of smoke goes out over the ocean, but tomorrow we're forecasting more of an onshore push so we will see hazy conditions all the way inland into the kern county area. and look how far north this haze is traveling. a bit of haze is anticipated in throughout carmel and monterey bay tomorrow afternoon as well. now meanwhile, we had some record heat and we do have some breezy conditions forecast for this weekend. we'll pinpoint your own local forecast and gang that's still coming up in a matter of minutes. >> all right, we'll see you soon. roberta. thank you for that. right now, hundreds of firefighters from the bay area are out there on the front lines

in l.a. county. the strike teams are coming from multiple agencies. 150 firefighters from various fire agencies in san mateo county are currently deployed. san francisco, alameda and marin counties also sending dozens of firefighters. many of the bay area strike teams are rolling down in those type three engines. they have four wheel drive, and they are known as the workhorse of the wildland firefighting industry. >> those are able to go off road. they're able to pump water and move at the same time where you're type one fire engines, which are more of the standard residential fire engines you see out there in your neighborhoods, aren't able to move and pump water at the same time, or have the four wheel drive capabilities. >> the strike teams could spend as long as two weeks down in los angeles. since the mutual aid agreement, as teams to commit up to that amount of time, it's going to make a tremendous amount of difference. >> we are, like you said earlier, we are stretched thin, but resources continue to come and we feel that that we, you know, we got a lot of help

coming the fire. >> agencies say they still have enough resources and staff up here to respond to calls for help in the bay area, if necessary. >> and as we first mentioned, officials do believe a suspect is responsible for starting the kenneth fire this afternoon near calabasas. our coverage continues with ktvu zac sos live from woodland hills tonight. after talking with residents who say they helped stop this suspected arsonist. zach. >> yeah, a frightening afternoon for these people in this community. described as a really quiet community by neighbors where, you know, they certainly don't experience anything like this around 430. these neighbors are telling me that they saw someone roaming around their neighborhood on a bicycle with a blowtorch, and they saw this person going from home to home in this community, trying to light garbage cans on fire with tree debris, at one point trying

to light an old christmas tree on fire. later on, they say they saw this person go up the street and they they were so concerned that neighbors jumped into action that, i believe, is some of the video that you're looking at now. the reason that this face is blurred out is, well, police have arrested this person as a suspected arsonist. a source, a police source here has told us that they believe this person is tied to the kenneth fire. now, that officially has not been his officially, they have not come out and said that this person is definitively connected to the kenneth fire, which is why we are blurring out this person's face. but really a remarkable scene with these neighbors jumping in and detaining this person until police arrived. take a listen. >> yeah. you see somebody walking down the street with a blowtorch in their hand? it's kind of a weird thing when we're right in the middle of two fairly large fires right here. >> so, you guys, i understand you zip tied him. is that. yeah.

this gentleman, i understand, he seemed sort of agitated. can you describe that? >> i mean, it seemed like maybe he was on something or something. he was very like, i can't stop, i can't stop, i'm not putting this down. i'm doing this and very focused on moving forward with the blowtorch. and we're like, we can't be doing that right now. >> yeah, these neighbors really were on high alert with that kenneth fire just around five miles away as the bird flies. so, you know, they were already very concerned about this fire approaching and seeing someone with the dry conditions here trying to potentially spark another fire in their neighborhood. you know, this was not something they felt they could stand by and watch. they could not wait until the police arrived. they had to jump into action, into action. and this is something that really could have turned out far worse. back to you. >> yeah. heroic efforts from all of those residents there. is that the man that you were talking with seemed so calm and

collected, talking about this entire ordeal, but i can only imagine that these residents are upset by what they saw. >> very upset, you know, and some of these neighbors talking to me about, you know, how they have kids in their their homes and, you know, they have essentially been watching everything. all of these fires develop throughout the los angeles region, many of them, you know, ready to leave at a moment's notice. some of them evacuating on their own accord, even though they weren't told to, mandatorily even though they weren't told to evacuate. so they were certainly on edge. and seeing all of this occur, you can only imagine terrifying, you know, one act impacting so many people's lives. >> all right, zach sass live for us tonight in woodland hills. zach, thank you. to stay on top of this developing story, you can download our fox local app. and right there you can find around the clock coverage out of southern california, including continuous live updates from officials and residents. >> and our coverage of the

wildfires continue right after the break. we're going to go live to ktvu tom vacar on pch in malibu. he's going to give us a closer look at the destruction there. >> plus, an ongoing problem for west oakland businesses, the demands for city officials to take act ion on sma (vo) with fargo, your virtual assistant from wells fargo, you can pick up the tab, even when you forget your wallet.

news. good evening everybody. a lot of people have been emailing me, asking me, just why is this happening in southern california? and we are being spared. well, let's try to explain this to you. first of all, we have been graced with plentiful rain showers and rain amounts over the past several months. in fact, santa rosa 195% of normal for this time of the year. and then you compare that with los angeles. and this rainfall has since july 1st. but let me tell you, i went back and did some research. last time i've seen any kind of measurable rain was on may 5th of last year, and that was 0.03in just a smattering of rain. so therefore drought like conditions in southern california. you combine that with very gusty winds and that is the recipe for wildfire danger. now, the last rain we have experienced here in the bay area was last friday on january 3rd. so we've got six full days. we were looking ahead towards the possibility and the potential of rain showers here

and in southern california on january 21st, but our long range computer models have now pushed that back, so we'll have to stay on top of that. we don't really want to go longer than a two week span for rainfall here in the bay area. red flag warning is in effect for southern california until 6:00 tomorrow night. in addition, the high wind warning for the mountainous areas, including the altadena area, until 2 p.m. tomorrow, and then wind advisory until 2 p.m. on friday. meanwhile, this is our live weather camera. what a stellar day we had here today. it almost made you feel guilty with the blue skies and the very mild temperatures. in fact, we had record high temperatures today. redwood city average high temperatures 58 degrees today 75 degrees. sfo tied a record that was established way back in 1962. and oakland, you have a new record in the weather book at 70 degrees. other notable numbers around the bay area, it was 78 degrees in santa rosa, 68

in san francisco. that is, 11 degrees above average. everybody pretty much in the 70s. we'll talk about tomorrow's temperatures and whether or not we'll have a repeat performance. and christina and mike, that's in a couple of minutes. all right. >> we'll check in with you then. roberta. thank you. warriors head coach steve kerr says his childhood home in pacific palisades has been destroyed in the fire. >> 1969 my parents bought that house and i was just there, you know, two weeks ago for dinner, you know, night before our game, we just celebrated my mom's 90th birthday there this past summer. we had, you know, 100 guests up on that hillside. and beautiful night. great memories. >> and kerr says his mom, as well as friends and other loved ones, were safely evacuated. he says this has been a really challenging time, but he does believe his hometown will rebuild tonight. the nfl has decided to move the upcoming

l.a. rams playoff game from los angeles to arizona. the rams were scheduled to host the minnesota vikings on monday night, but because of these horrific wildfires in the l.a. area, the nfl is moving this playoff game to the cardinals stadium in glendale, arizona. it will still be played on monday night. >> still to come here at ten dignitaries in georgia and washington paying their respects to the late jimmy carter. >> up next, a look at the services at the national cathedral for the country's 39th president. >> and from georgia to the bay area people. reflecting on carter's lasting impact and helping

- man, i need some serious help with this health insurance stuff. - check out covered california. it's a free service from the state that helps you get health insurance. millions of people have used it. - wait, for real? - mmm hmm, they even offer financial help to lower the cost. - nooo... how you know about all this? - that's how i got my insurance. i got a great plan for about $10 dollars a month. - okay, i see you. - if you've got questions, covered california can help, every step of the way. enroll by january 31st. covered california.

this way to health insurance. firefight in los angeles, still underway tonight. firefighters are getting better containment on some fires, but others remain out of control. >> ktvu tom vacar joining us live now from malibu along pch. tom, what can you tell us? >> 6% containment on the

palisades fire, which is some progress, but most experts don't think until you get to about 35% that you really have the fire in a place where you are in a commanding lead. and with the santa ana winds still coming, that six could disappear pretty quickly. so we just have to keep that kind of containment in perspective. i want to show you something that really struck me, and i wanted to mention this. this is infrastructure. this is a phone pole or a utility pole. and you see all these wires and all these cables attached to it. there is power here. there is cable here, there are fiber optics here. there are other kinds of communication devices. and at the very end you see transformers and switches and breakers and all of this other stuff. very complicated. this is one pole out of thousands that have to be replaced. the only reason we're able to broadcast to you right now is we are talking via satellite link. this place, which is one of the most digital rich places on earth, is

almost impossible to communicate with from this highway simply because all of this infrastructure has been put out of balance. so now they have to come in, they have to rebury each of the poles with brand new poles. they have to come in with new cable. they have to come in with all the new transformers and all that stuff. each one of these takes quite a few hours and quite a few people to do this. and there are thousands of them along this highway and all throughout the hills. so as a result, before any real rebuilding and real progress can be made, they've got to get all of the power going and they'll do that relatively quickly. but it's not going to happen overnight. even in a place like this where you have so much stuff in storage ready to go to start doing this, but they've got to get crews in here from all the other utilities in the state, including pg and e, but also from out of state and also from independent contractors. that is going to take a while. on top of that, other public infrastructure has been damaged,

and that public infrastructure is also going to have to be replaced at the cost of the taxpayer and all the private infrastructure, whether that's an insurance issue, whether it's your home or whether it's businesses, all of that has to be taken care of before you can even begin to think about what you're going to do to rebuild and recover. this is a major hit to the california economy, and it's certainly a major hit to the second largest population center in the country. and it's a significant. and we need to recognize that this is not a rich man's fire, because it happened in pacific palisades and down in malibu. a lot of people working for those businesses live hand to mouth, paycheck to paycheck, and a lot of those people are going to suffer as we try to get back into this thing. so it just struck me to looking at this infrastructure that what we really have to understand is that this is a very people kind of oriented fire in terms of the pain that it's going to create, and that we have to understand that a lot of the people that are going to need help are not going to be the wealthy people

that can afford to go to another house somewhere else. but most of the people are going to be just like everybody else, which is to say we're not. we're going to need to have some help, and we're going to need to have some support back to you. >> and it's going to take months, if not longer. quick question here, tom, because i know they haven't had rain down in that area since last year. really. but is there concern that once southern california does get that rain, once malibu gets that rain and all the steep canyons, that there could be an issue because of the burn area and the burn scar. >> not could be going to be an issue. we were going up to panga canyon, which is one of the roads that takes you from the ocean over to the san fernando valley. and one of the things that utterly astonished me was that the fire. this wasn't an earthquake. this was a fire. there were several large landslides created by the heat of the fire that blocked off half of topanga canyon road. we were able to get by. so that is in a perfectly dry situation.

imagine putting tons of water on that. and, you know, all of the stuff that comes along with storms, these hills are denuded. and when they're denuded, then they're going to start getting muddy. and the point is that the rainy season is upon us. and while they had a drought down here, that isn't going to last forever. and when the rains do come, we're going to see a lot of mudslides and we're going to see a lot of washouts and things like that. it's just inevitable at this point. >> yeah, just impacts after impacts. tom vacar thank you for your reporting throughout the day today. we know it's your last report. we appreciate all of the work you did today. >> thanks, tom. >> pg and e sending workers and equipment to southern california to help restore power. the utility is providing mutual aid to the l.a. department of water and power. some teams will help with getting power back on, while others will check for fire damaged equipment. like we just saw tom point out. pg and e also sent two blackhawk helicopters to l.a. to support cal fire's firefighting efforts. still to come, he is described as being the best nacho maker in the bay

area, and his truck and trailer were stolen. how the community is rallying behind him. >> also, the golden state warriors got a bit of an injury bug to start this four game road trip. could they stop the pistons win streak? we'll ave that story tonig

highway. this is in the area where ktvu tom vacar just gave us that live report. businesses, homes, all of them leveled along this iconic stretch of roadway. and this evening, tens of thousands of wildfire evacuees are still staying with friends or in hotels, or even the temporary shelters that have been opened waiting to hear if their house is still there. ktvu is mark sayer has the story. >> when melanie bynum was

rushing home to evacuate her residence in the palisades fire. this is what she saw. plumes of smoke bearing down with no idea what she would find or what she would do. >> but it's hard to watch the fire. and there's no fire trucks that were there at that time. yeah, you hear the sirens, but what? what can you actually do? >> so bynum evacuated with her four year old son, atlas, saying the stress and the uncertainty of what would happen next was one of the biggest issues. >> i've made it seem like we're on vacation and that's the best that i can do, is just focus on the future. but i'm not really sure what the future holds. we can't go home. i don't know where we're going to go. >> so bynum turned to gofundme, asking total strangers to help her and atlas as they face the uncertainty as she says she has done for others on the same platform in the past. >> and i feel like it's coming full circle for me in this moment. to be able to have all of these strangers, you know, and friends and people that i

work with donating to help my son and me. >> and so we have a trust and safety team that is continuing to work directly with organizers. >> lee lehman is the communications director for gofundme, which has set up a dedicated page for la wildfire victims. lehman says the goal is to make donors fully confident that their money is going where it is supposed to go. >> the fundraiser must be clear who the organizer is, how the funds will be used, if they're organizing on behalf of someone else, will work with them to get people added as beneficiaries of the funds, so that the funds will go directly to those people that need help rather than the organizer. >> as for melanie and atlas, they are now staying at a hotel in palm springs while they figure out what to do next. one thing is for sure, she never thought she would be in this situation, so i'm super grateful for a platform like gofundme that it even exists to allow people to ask for help, because i think sometimes that's the

hardest thing to do, is to even ask. and we have a link to that dedicated la wildfire relief page on our website at ktvu.com reporting in san jose, i'm mark sayer, ktvu, fox two news. >> president biden says the federal government will pay for 100% of the firefighting needs for the next 180 days, and he did pledge the full weight of the federal government to help contain these fires and continue the road to recovery. >> and we've secured additional firefighters and firefighting aircraft from our ally and canada as well. i also want everyone in southern california to know we're going to keep at it. we're sticking with this. we expect there may be a temporary break in the winds, but in some areas, the winds are likely to continue well into next week. >> the president has issued a major disaster declaration. this authorizes the release of federal money to help state, county and city governments cover emergency response costs. it also includes individual assistance programs for affected

residents and businesses. >> new at ten people in west oakland are expressing their frustration at an ongoing problem. garbage, fires and other small fires in their neighborhood. the city credits the removal of the wood street encampment in the area two years ago with fewer fires. ktvu amber lee joins us live in oakland now with more on how west oakland has historically been a trouble spot for encampment fires. amber. >> christina. one man who has owned a business in the area for more than 30 years, tells me he's frustrated. he's calling on city leaders to do a better job keeping the area clean to prevent fires. others who live and work in the area say these fires are a threat to public safety. a pile of garbage on wood street set on fire under interstate 880, in west oakland. the nearby business owner who shot this video tells me the fire started monday, shortly before 5 p.m. >> the fire was right here. as you can see. people dumped trash. people jumped, dump tires

and debris. >> alan lucchese owns sound wave studios, located just steps from what he describes as a common dumping site. he tells me people said garbage on fire here several times a month. >> we have a problem down here with with trash building up in the streets and then getting lit on fire, and that's been causing mayhem and destruction. >> that destruction may include a fire last month where a person was found dead near, or possibly in, a vehicle that was caught on fire in this area. and last june, pacific supply, a business in the same area, was severely damaged by fire. neighbors tell me that it started with someone setting a pile of garbage outside on fire, and it spread to the building. oakland fire says the number of homeless encampment fires citywide has dropped. last year, there were 1100. that's down from the 1700 in 2023. >> still far too many. still incredibly dangerous. still very

hazardous to both firefighters, residents, neighbors. vehicle traffic. >> michael hunt, spokesperson with oakland fire, says the dismantling of the large homeless encampment on wood street that started in 2022 helped lower the number of encampment fires. >> we always encourage residents to report either through 311 and for the event of a fire, always call 911 and we'll have a crew out there as fast as possible to mitigate that fire. okay. >> so come here. >> tifa silva and her dog peso live in a tiny home nearby. she says the frequent fires are a safety concern. >> it worries me. you know, i get worried about my dogs, you know, because sometimes they get loose here. >> back at sound wave studios, the publicist for this group says safety is top of mind when he and these musicians come here to rehearse. >> it's dangerous and it's unsafe. and, you know, some of us, sometimes we only want to come down here during the day, not in the evening. >> businesses and residents say they want the city to pay more attention to west oakland trash

removal. >> and managing the encampments in a way that businesses can survive alongside the current situation. >> while we were there tonight, we saw two small fires. the business owner tells me he's called 311 many times to report illegal dumping, but that the city is slow to respond and sometimes not at all. live in oakland. amber lee, ktvu, fox two news. >> a barber from mountain view has now been linked to more than 20 sexual assault cases. authorities say franklin also skipped bail and is currently on the run from law enforcement after being charged with drugging, kidnaping and sexually assaulting at least 25 unconscious men. police say they believe he knowingly exposed some of his victims to hiv. law enforcement officials in santa clara county say these assaults occurred between the years 2018 and last year. the 34 year old barber could face multiple life terms in prison if convicted on

all charges. >> as we head to break, we want to offer you the opportunity to help families impacted by the wildfires in southern california. you can scan the qr code here on your screen to donate to the red cross. this donation enables the red cross to respond to and help people recover from this disaster. you can also donate by going to go dot fox slash red cross to support this effort.
