the palisades and the eton, the hurst as well. and the auto fires. none of the fires have grown in the past 24 hours. that's the promising news. crews have made good progress increasing containment lines ahead of the return of the winds. >> as containment grows, people are starting to return to what is left of their homes. many are sorting through the ash and rubble, trying to find anything that may have survived. it's an experience that comes with highs and lows. >> that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it. oh my god. oh my god. oh my god. >> oh my god. oh my god. god. oh my what. >> oh my gosh. >> we found, we found. >> as you can see, that couple elated to find a wedding ring. the homeowner, a local firefighter who left it when he went to work. but along with that joy you just saw, there are so many irreplaceable items. like the realization that the one thing their sons hoped to find a basketball hoop wasn't there. the couple right now has no plans for taking the kids to see the property, and that is understandable as state and local leaders are

but the bigger fires, eton and palisades, because there are those miles around now, the circle of the fire. probably ten miles. how do you get all that contained? and, you know, this means that, you know, the fire is not going any farther than that. winds are good right now. winds are good tonight. they're not great. i mean, you don't want ten, you don't want 12. but even by tonight you get down to six. and then coming up on sunday it all gets red again. and we're going to get winds 30 40mph. this will happen again tuesday and wednesday. and not a not a drop of rain between now and then. so what you see is what you get. the antecedent conditions are still going to be very dry. the problem is dry and still having millions of sparks in trees, in bark, in mulch that could fly again when that wind blows. >> all right. chad, it's really unbelievable pictures that we have been looking at here with you. and so alarming to hear about the winds and the concerns ahead here. chad, we'll keep an eye on this. we know that. you certainly will. we see how close those flames are to those homes ahead

you won't see flames in the palisades or eton. we drove around in the eaton area today. firefighters are still searching the ground as we showed you last night in the program in the palisades, and even in some places in eden for those hidden hotspots under the ground. that's where the work is right now in the mountains, smoldering vegetation under the ground that, if exposed, could become flaming embers picked up by wind, which would then create new fires elsewhere. now the wind today, thankfully, has been somewhat lighter than than forecast than expected. those extreme red flag fire warnings that we talked about last night, they are still in force. you can see them there, the purple on the map. the wind is still a serious threat, say forecasters, who now expect the worst of it to be in the early morning tomorrow morning, 3 a.m., and on into the day. fire officials are warning that new evacuations could be ordered at any time. two new fires did crop up today, one in riverside to the east, another in oxnard. both of them small, but a sign of just how vulnerable this area

he also says mandatory evacuation orders have been lifted for all fires except the palisades and eton fires. and we've learned the l.a. school district is set to reopen all but nine schools in the hours ahead we have made the decision to reopen all schools and all offices tomorrow, january 13th, at the regular time and hour of operation. >> however, we will reopen all sites based on an inclement weather protocol. >> what that means is that outdoor activity shall be restricted well, amid the devastation, an outpouring of love and support, a sea of donations transformed the horse racing track in santa anita park into a grass roots donation center. >> hundreds of wildfire evacuees and volunteers gathered for free food, water and other resources. >> others affected by the fires lined up for assistance at a wildfire recovery center. one woman described the emotions that she's been dealing with. >> lots of tears, anger. we're going through the stages of grief. there's no doubt about it. i think i finally went from denial into anger last night. i'm but this is a challenge that i know we'll w

. >> the palisades, eton, hurst and woodley fires are forcing tens of thousands of people from their homes. >> i called the fire department about an hour ago. >> obviously, they're very busy. >> i just called again to see if they were coming, and obviously it was very busy. i'm acting on it. i'm really very upset. >> inside the palisades fire continues to grow and has so far destroyed an estimated 1000 structures, making it one of the 20 most destructive wildfires in california's history. it is also the most destructive to ever occur in l.a. county, according to data from cal fire. >> it's armageddon. i'm driving through a war zone right now and i don't even know what to say. i'm speechless. i'm shocked. >> the eaton fire also exploded in size and is believed to be responsible for at least two deaths. officials say they're seeing a significant number of injuries being reported due to people who did not evacuate. >> heed the advice of first responders when they ask you to evacuate. evacuate. this is not a drill. this is in real time. >> emergency officials say their biggest concern ri

we have the eton fire 27% contained. 13% contained for the palisades fire. much better, 89%. but as we go throughout the day, we're going to see those winds really gusting, gusting and it's going to be sustained for a while as well. so right now we're looking at winds anywhere from ten, even 20mph. we have a 30 mile per hour wind gusts. but look what happens as we go throughout the later part of today into tuesday and wednesday. so by 8:00 tomorrow, we're looking at winds gusting once again near 50, 60mph. and it is not out of the question that we're going to see a 70 mile per hour wind gusts. that's the big story today. that will continue to be the big story over the next several days. also, looking at a dangerous chill in portions of the northern plains, the upper midwest, we're looking at temperatures below zero as the air temperature you factor in the winds, it's going to feel colder than that. we're dry throughout the central and southern plains, looking at a soggy start in portions of the southeast. then as we go throughout wednesday, still dry and win

this, of course, is the eton fire. you can see the devastation. it is street after street. it is block after block. it is home after home. it covers this entire area. i could show you the next block and would look very similar to what we're seeing today. meanwhile, we are awaiting, as you mentioned, the possibility of more wind. we are under what's called a particularly particularly dangerous situation and designation from the national weather service that is meant to even denote something that is more severe than the red flag winds, than the santa ana winds that we've been predicting and seeing over the last few days. we've been in it for a little more than 24 hours, almost 48 hours now, actually, and we're waiting for sunrise and sunset. those are sort of the particularly worst parts of this. if we get more of those winds coming up in the next few hours or so, it's a particularly dangerous situation for firefighters, for crews that are trying to secure these scenes, but also the possibility that we see new fire starts. we see maybe about a handful, half dozen or so new fi
