y con nosotros se encuentra david ortiz. tedes esta amenaza de los fuertes vientos y qué ha pasado en las últimas horas? bueno, significa que nosotros necesitamos estar ágil y movernos con rapidez para continuar combatiendo los nuevos incendios que comienzan y que se pueden expandir con mucha rapidez. no solamente está el peligro de que los los carbones calientes que todavía están aquí en la escena vayan a reavivarse por el viento, sino que nuevos incendios en áreas que no se han quemado vayan a comenzar. y eso se debe a la condición de bandera roja o los vientos d santa ana que entran al sur de california y causan que los incendios se propaguen con mucha rapidez. cuéntame cómo ustedes viven cada día estas jornadas? qué encuentran cuando llegan quizás a una zona de devastación? nosotros tenemos un interés en tratar de mantener nuestras comunidades seguras y combatimos incendios todos los días. todos los días. en los Ángeles hay varios incendios que nosotros, de una manera muy efectiva, hemos podido extinguir. pero lo que ocur

gracias a david ortiz pudimos ingresar a las Áreas afectadas, ya que el acceso ha sido estrictamentedavid explicÓ lo que sucediÓ aquel martes a las 9:30 de la maÑana cuando el viento intensificÓ las llamas y complicÓ la respuesta de los equipos de emergencia. >> era el viento, caÍa acÁ, allÁ, allÍ y la gente perdiÓ el servicio de celular, la habilidad de reconocer quÉ calles estaban quemÁndose, cuÁles casas estaban quemÁndose. octavio: en medio del caos y de la incertidumbre mientras todo esto ardÍa los equipos de emergencia se movilizaban y los bomberos nos perdÍan de vista su misiÓn, proteger a la comunidad. fue en plena alerta mÁxima cuando jorge espinosa nos hablÓ antes de volver a sus labores y fue desde la propia estaciÓn de bomberos 69 en pacific palisades donde todo esto comenzÓ. ¿a quÉ se enfrentaron ustedes como bomberos? >> era un tremendo aire, el viento que entrÓ en combinaciÓn con el fuego era como una antorcha. paso y no habÍa manera de pararlo. octavio: estamos platicando contigo porque tu eres uno de muchos que estÁn enfrentando las llamas, ¿cÓmo estÁs tÚ? ¿cÓmo estÁ

and i asked the pio, david ortiz, what was the difference between the pacific palisades fire, the eatone and this particular fire? and here is what he had to say. >> we have very dry vegetation out there, so any spark will make this this vegetation just catch fire immediately. and that's because of the drought we've had for the last over decade. we've been having a lot of new starts. for example, the hughes fire the day before, and now this one here next to the 405 freeway. >> and if i may, let me show you exactly what, if i may, let me show you exactly what he had to say and talk about here. see all of this? this is cattail. this is fountain grass. this is not indicative. this is not native of california. and this is what is highly flammable and goes up, especially in these drought like conditions. imagine this. it hasn't rained in this area since april of last year. usually this time of the year, the los angeles area has over four inches of rain in the bucket. so far, only 16/100 since last year. now, we do have other native species around this area, but they're all dried out as well.

i did get a hold of chief pio david ortiz with the los angeles county fire department. him, what's the difference between the pacific palisades and eden fires and this one? >> we have very dry vegetation out there, so any spark will make this bed, this vegetation, just catch fire immediately. and that's because of the drought we've had for the last over decade. we've been having a lot of new starts. for example, the hughes fire the day before and now this one here next to the 405 freeway. >> so of course, a lot of this is all about the vegetation. you see all of this dry weeds here. some of this is native, some not so native. but they're all the same. they're dry and they go up in a heartbeat. take a look at this hose here. we've had so much activity here. even though that the fire is out. we have one fire engine that comes. it distributes water to another fire engine. and then they have these hoses. they go all the way up the mountain to the firefighters who continue to work diligently on extinguishing these hotspots. so a red flag warning remains in effect in the los

i want to get straight to david ortiz with the los angeles fire department. sir, can you tell us we've got crews all around us here? what are they doing right now? >> well, right. >> now, this is what we call the. >> mop up operation. >> we want to make sure that we don't leave anything hot that can later be carried by wind. so our firefighters were very effective in keeping the fire from spreading into the moraga community, which is behind us. this hill. this fire was topography driven, meaning the fuels and the angle of the of the hillside. the santa ana winds are blowing against this fire. so we had that in our favor. and we also had available aircraft that were able to fly this. we had five medium helicopters and two heavies that engaged this fire right away. 250 firefighters from l.a. city fire jumped on this very quickly, and we were able to keep it to only 40 acres. >> and then finally, the winds are relatively calm right now. but what's your concern over the next few hours? >> so we're still expecting some dry humidity and then gusts of winds possible

i spoke in the last hour to david ortiz, the public information officer for the la county fire departmentped me understand what happened. david, thank you for being with us. i know there are a lot of questions right now. some residents who lost everything are really angry about water. they say there wasn't enough water. the pumps were dry at some points. what happened? >> you know, it was the perfect storm. all the things lined up against having a successful fire fight. here. we as firefighters, we take pride in the work. we train diligently for different scenarios. >> and we have, you know, a primary plan, an alternate plan, the contingency plan, and then an emergency plan. >> and all those plans were out the window that day. it was complete chaos here because of the magnitude. this fire overwhelmed our resources. we had actually staffed additional personnel. additional engines pre-positioned them, and they came in running and engaged this fire immediately. >> i have colleagues and individuals who said that they saw things burning, and there were no firefighters anywhere to be seen, espe

i tracked down pio officer david ortiz.ifference is between the pacific palisades fire and the eaton fire, and how they knocked this one down so quickly. here's what he had to say. >> somebody called 911. it sounds like somebody on the freeway saw the fire starting, and they quickly grew to ten acres. when the first firefighters arrived. then it grew to 250 firefighters and we had seven aircraft, five medium to heavy, and they slowed it down a lot. luckily, the wind wasn't pushing it. it was going against the wind. >> so, gang, i got to admit to you, i want to be perfectly honest. we've been out here so long this morning that my audio completely died. i would love to chat with you about everything going on here, because we've had fire trucks coming in. they've been going out. and ian jones, my cameraman, he's a former firefighter, once a firefighter, always a firefighter. and he's been explaining to me, these fire trucks come in, they've got water. they use their hoses to pump the water into other fire trucks. and then i do

vamos a pasar de ahí a la ciudad de san josé, porque el concejal peter ortiz, junto a los concejales davidomendaciones tienen como objetivo fortalecer la protección de las comunidades inmigrantes en san josé. en medio de todas estas acciones federales de aplicación de la ley de inmigración, los concejales tienen previsto dar una rueda de prensa a la 13:00 de la tarde y se espera que la ciudad de san josé pronto habrá un nuevo sitio seguro donde dueños de casas rodantes puedan estacionarse. defensores de personas sin hogar dicen que esto es algo que se necesita, pero solo es una pequeña parte para esta solución. jocelyn moran nos trae los detalles. i'm really excited that we're at this stage in the process for our safe parking. la ciudad de san josé esta noche está más cerca de abrir su segundo sitio seguro donde personas que viven en casas rodantes puedan estacionarse. este sitio está ubicado en la calle berryessa. el concejal david cohen dice que 85 casas rodantes podrán estar aquí. habrán baños, un jardín comunitario y seguridad. i just went by their this afternoon. and this site is almo

cruising and split the ortiz full neck, even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube tv services. what question did you say? even closer to the welcome back to rosa parks with david kirsten, british, politician, leader of the heritage party. mr. kirsten, just for the break here you're, you're share this very interesting experience. demonstrating how sure the israel is about exerting its influence. and how little uh, if cares about the other countries because um, you know, we would presume that all those british are american politicians would have a legions to that people 1st rather than people of israel. now i want to ask about that because. c the american politics has been in disarray for a couple of years, but now particularly we saw by them is ling dock. and it happened that at this precise moment, israel chose not only to escalate in gaza, but also to open up 2 additional friends in loveland on in iran. do you think it did it on purpose simply because it's main sponsor, it's main ally. it happens to be destructive. yeah, i think the timing is very, very interesting because you've got the president selection just coming up. president trump is likely to be re e
