a lot of the crews were sent into this eaton fire, not the palisades fire. they told us today was almost like whac-a-mole, basically when a hotspot popped up, their job was to go and tamp it down. the reason why, if you look out here in front of me, you can actually see some of these small fires still smoldering in the remains of these homes. the concern is if the winds pick up tonight because we are still under red flag warnings, that embers could be carried up into the air and could then land on some of the homes that have not been burned. those might then catch fire and then you have even more structures lost. so those bay area crews today going around trying to put out these hotspots to make sure that everyone stays safe. now the other part of that is that is why this area is still under a mandatory evacuation because they need people out of the area to do the work that they are doing, but it's also causing a lot of concern for residents who are stuck outside the fire lines. >> i'm trying to find out if that fire is coming from where i live, but i can't

it's been reduced by the hard work of nonstop air crews and ground crew work there on the palisades fire, but also the wind speeds have not been quite as extreme, but this is set to change as we head towards this time tomorrow night, especially in western l.a. county and across all of ventura county. here, off to the west. watch this time frame closely as we head into 4 a.m. tuesday. extreme fire danger being called a particularly dangerous situation redeveloping across the mountain areas north and west of los angeles. this is going to be from 4 a.m. to about midday on wednesday, where he could see wind gusts once again, getting into the 50 to 70 mile per hour range on those higher mountain tops and the higher hills there of western l.a. county. and because of that, red flag warnings are still in effect for many of those locations where you still have those fires burning around west of los angeles and north of l.a. in fact, as you can see here, that red flag warning has been extended through wednesday. that one two punch of red flag warnings and high wind warnings at the same time set to

the fire crews used emergency vehicles to quickly get those residents to safety. >> firefighting crews in the bay area have been deployed to help in southern california. cal fire's scu and ccu teams normally cover several bay area counties but were in southern california. they shared these photos on social media showing the firefighters supporting agencies in the los angeles county fire department, and more teams are on standby. fire officials say crews across the state can be ready to hit the road in less than an hour to help if called. >> we're not out of the woods by any stretch of the imagination. you may feel at home that you're fine down in riverside county, san bernardino county, down in ventura county. other parts of the state. but there's a reason we pre-positioned hundreds of assets and personnel on sunday in anticipation of this wind event. >> the strong winds will continue to challenge the containment efforts today. wind gusts up to 60mph are expected to last through tomorrow. here's a live look at the fire in southern california right now. you can see just the intensity of

we have seen fire crews drive past this area. but the problem with this is there is limited resources and fire crews are focusing on the communities and the homes that they can save right now. but tonight, you see this is a complete loss as the fire continues throughout the evening hours. yeah, they have to make some very difficult decisions. all right. thank you very much. velena. now, as you saw there, the fires that started yesterday still raging tonight we have new fires breaking out. let's bring in our chief meteorologist, jeff ranieri. okay. we keep hearing that the winds are dying down, so we've got some progress there. a little bit of luck, but when does it stop? completely. when we get to friday night, it's going to be the forecast that we really desperately need. across there we should see calm winds moving through southern california by sunday night. but tonight it's another gut wrenching evening where nerves are on edge. people are going to be sleepless this evening. it's going to be hard to go another night here know

in addition to crews from alameda, oakland and santa are alameda and santa clara counties said crews from san mateo county also arrived just a few hours ago. it is expected bay area firefighters could remain in the area for several weeks. president biden has pledged to support california's efforts to fight and rebuild from wildfires. biden announced the federal government will fully cover the costs of debris removal, temporary shelter and first responder pay for the next 180 days. the fires are burning at a time when people up and down the state are losing their homeowners insurance to big concern big stressor for people over the last few years. several major insurance carriers have dropped homeowners and refused to cover people because of wildfire risks. earlier today, vice president kamala harris addressed that situation. >> and what we know is that this is a matter of current version say, but this is also something that is going to have an impact for months and years to come. and on that point, i will also make note of the fact that sadly many insurance companies have canceled ins

so as you can see, the crews in there, i mean, dangerous work, but there's just not enough utility crewsto go around. there are neighborhoods, neighborhoods that have been leveled here in altadena, and this is one of those areas. we just came off of fair oaks near mendocino here. and literally it's from the corner to the corner, the entire block. all of the houses have been burned. >> now, the palisades palisades fire is currently the most destructive of the wildfires in the los angeles area. and since it broke out yesterday morning, it has burned, as i said, at least a thousand buildings. but there are estimates that up to 75% of the homes in pacific palisades are damaged or at least destroyed. this map from cal fire shows exactly where it's burning. there were other fires in the area as recently as 2021. reporter cassandra gutierrez spoke with some of the people who had to evacuate. >> firefighters are still working to protect people and property from the palisades fire tonight. it's already burned through hundreds of structures, leaving a path of destruction and heartbreak behind. res

there is a crew here behind me. it is an inmate hand crew. they have been out here for the past few hours clearing brush in this area because this is one of the areas that officials are worried about if something were to spark back up and the winds were to kick back up this area could really be in a danger zone. right now where we are standing is under an evacuation warning that means people who live here can still stay in their homes but they are being told to keep an eye out for any sort of updates on fires in the area because they could potentially be under an evacuation order if something were to spark up. now, you see all of the houses, we talked with captain who is in charge of this crew here. he said that they have been out here all night. they have seen most of the people actually are still staying in their homes in this area. but their crew is working really hard trying to do their best to protect this neighborhood. here is a little bit of what he told us. >> there are a couple properties near like this one is particularly near this

more local fire crews are heading to los angeles as we speak.a task force three has been asked to join the effort. that group is an urban search and rescue team with members from both the peninsula and the south bay. two crews are coming from the sunnyvale department of public safety. now, other members will come from task force four, which is made up of east bay firefighters. they left last night for pasadena to help on the eaton fire. abc seven news reporter cornell bernard checked in with some north bay fire crews already on the front lines. >> you know, the devastation is really the thing that is shocking everybody, the amount of homes that have burned and the way the fire came down and impacted these communities, it's just it's heartbreaking. >> marin county fire battalion chief grant groneman telling us what he's seeing across the southland. a trail of wildfire destruction there, still active fire burning on on the incidents up in the hills. >> firefighters are just, you know, currently working to extinguish hotspots around structures to e

the crew of, apollo nine, watched as their lunar module. now cruella's arc away from them all through world. i hope i didn't forget anything i avoided the issue a long ways away for the last five days. the flight of apollo nine settled into a routine, a routine of picture taking and with an occasional burn to refine the orbit. but this routine was a look into the future of future when manned orbiting space stations operating in concert with unmanned scientific satellites could examine earth from this vantage point when cameras, as those on apollo nine will take multiple spectrum from visible light, the infrared locating hitherto untapped geological biological resources and perhaps even more important, when man can look at his world with a new perspective quantitatively and qualitatively observe the results of his actions on face of his world for with the power man controls, he can change the nature of his planet. he can no longer think of unrelated occurrences. he must realize that exists within the structure of earth's planetary ecological

fire crews will have to account for the shift in the winds. they'll welcome the onshore breeze, not necessarily the change in direction and the winds will shift again by saturday with the offshore winds reestablishing themselves. it's a complicated situation. it's going to remain so heading into early next week. the winds will get a little gusty around the bay area on saturday as well but not problematic. they will be offshore in the 20 to 30-mile-an-hour range from saturday morning into the afternoon and evening. i don't think it's going to be a big condition which is nice because we don't have any rain in the forecast, good thing we added up in november and december because the forecast is rain-free over the next seven days and if we had a 14-day chart, i think that would be rain-free as well. temperatures are backing down slowly, 50s across the entire bay area and that is unusually mild for 11:00 on a january evening. as we head through the rest of tonight, we'll see the temperatures only dropping down to the 40s, maybe a couple spots in th

this is an inmate hand crew. you hear a lot about california prisoners coming out and helping during wildfire incidents like this and this is them in action. this is one of the areas that cal fire is worried if the winds go pick up overnight, the eaton fire could come back this direction. we're kind of northwest of altadena, the area pretty much demolished by the eaton fire last week. you can see what these crews are doing. they are pulling all this brush down off of this hill trying to help if a fire does actually come back towards this way. it will not be as traumatic or intense as we saw last week. so they're cutting branches. they're cutting trees, bushes, everything they can to just clear debris out of this area and this is actually right next to a water tank in this neighborhood and this neighborhood is right on the top of the foothills here in town. so where we're standing is currently under an evacuation warning. earlier it was under evacuation, so a lot of the homes around here, there are not people in t
