, hollywood, in that area.t there is a threat there, they are wondering which direction to go for evacuation. >> right. i was looking at the map myself and it was like, you know, there's a fire to the east, to the northeast of them. it looked like the best way was just to get on a freeway and start heading out, and get going. you don't want to be caught on surface streets like we saw here at the palisades fire. you want to do it early. that way it's more controlled than if everyone tries to go at the last minute and it turns into a parking lot. >> i know most people in the palisades area, when this began, were generally heading south, the people that i was talking to individually per go is south just as a general direction the safest way to aim right now? >> you know, looking at the wind gusts, south, it's actually pushing to the south point of the wind is kind of out of the east northeast so if you're above it and you can get higher and go north more, that's even better. >> what is the prospects for tomorrow?

hollywood is a, is a, is a densely packed community. so, so lifting those orders also reduces the strain on the regent. we were really worried that with having that activate that entire community, it would really straighten the region up in the policies is still a very much a, a no, no return zone. mister elliot, are you satisfied with the response to find these fires that we've seen? so far as well i'm, i'm, i'm glad that these big put some assets in place before hand because we knew that there was going to be the risk of fire. the president immediately responded to the governor's call. and as you declare to a maximal emergency, and there's been a lot of of what really, really positive assistance that started to come through. we have fire trucks coming from all over the state, back all over the west. we have fire trucks coming in from arizona and nevada, oregon, but clearly they're, they're still wasn't enough on the ground. part of what made this really hard is that the winds were in usually intense. and we also had several fires happ

that's why our hollywood hills fire that's burning right now underneath the hollywood hills sign andt's about 20 acres but you go back to yesterday and we knew that if we did not catch a fire within the first 20 minutes, it's going to go to thousands of acres and that's exactly what happened. we are getting a little bit of a low but we have a lot of fire burning out there. >> trace: i'm wondering chief, when will we find out how the fires started. you would think by now we could trace the origin. >> you would think so but it's a little bit more complicated than that. once they have identified that point of origin, those arson investigators literally sift through, you know, every grain of sand, everything that may be out there. we really don't know. it's not a matter of -- i hear this all the time, that we are not being transparent. it's not that at all, it's just we want to be absolutely sure before we voice a determination. >> trace: yeah. chief, we appreciate your time, captain scott, thank you so much for coming on. good information. coming up, victims of the los angeles wildfires

>> prepared for the possibility that this 20 acre brush fire called the sunset fire in the hollywood hills. it started to run in canyon at it started running canyon 5.30. you want to be prepared that this might actually be coming to you. so, you know, this is not a joke. again, check on everybody. that's area neighbors and see what you can do to help and then get yourself to safety. >> alright, gil is in sky ready and obviously great news to see helicopters that are able to drop the water. and there's a particular fight on on the hands of firefighters on the ground. i would expect very close to that structure deal. >> yeah, very close to that structure that saying goes a little bit deceiving that fires up on the ridge that house is beyond it. so it's not really directly impacted, but it's close close enough for sure. there are fire as it's a setting up structure protection on all the streets that run up the canyon right now as i down the fire, the source of the fires there at the right hand side of your screen up the canyon. burned down towards these homes here at the bottom. you can

the sunset fire is burning in the hollywood hills near runyon canyon west of the hollywood sign. it has burned at least 20 acre so far but it is growing quickly. there are mandatory evacuations and the fire appears to be spreading south to hollywood boulevard. that is in addition to the other major fires across los angeles county. the most destructive of them is the palisades fire that has been burning since yesterday morning. and the eden fire in the pasadena area has claimed five lives since it blew up overnight. it has leveled entire neighborhoods in altadena and burned through a business district and their are widespread power outages. our photographer and katie wilson drove down to southern california, what are you singing? >> reporter: thankfully the wind is finally calmer tonight. firefighters were dealing with 70 mile an hour gusts this morning and that is what has caused all the problems here. you can see what is left of a couple of the homes in the altadena neighborhood off of figueroa. this is a working class neighborhood north of pasadena. the folks who live here, man

it's burning in the hollywood hills, not far from the famed hollywood boulevard. right now, there is an immediate evacuation order in place. the good news? so far, no homes have burned. but this fire has burned at least ten acres. the winds still going strong. you can see how widespread it is from the air. >> well, these wildfires burning in southern california really do reminds just how important it is to be ready to evacuate at a moment's notice. >> that's right. and abc seven news reporter dustin dorsey explains what you could be doing now to protect your family. >> the devastating southern california wildfires are not only heartbreaking, but an important reminder when a fire is raging, it doesn't take much time to go from this to this. a harsh reality felt by thousands forced to evacuate. >> there was a thought of like, well, i wonder if we'll have to evacuate. maybe we should, like, get the kids stuff ready just in case to. well, why don't we just put it in the car in case to. okay. where are we going to go? i mean, it is terrifying. it's devastating. >> ther

here's hollywood, west hollywood right there. you got runyon canyon. so this is a very well known area. and this fire, the way the winds are blowing, is pushing it down here towards the populated areas. so there are evacuations in place, at least 100 acres on that fire. now, as we get you down here towards the palisades, fire winds right now, 15 to 35 santa monica. also malibu on high alert with this fire. but winds are way down from this time yesterday. and then you got the fire here in altadena. winds right now 15 to 35mph. so on all of these fronts, even though the wind is not as gusty as it was last night, this is still very touch and go down there in southern california. and are we still looking at friday as the day that the winds will really clamp down? that's what all the projections we're seeing right now. i can show everybody better on that in our hourly forecast here. and you'll see as we roll through tonight lower elevations 15 to about 30. but notice the bright colors in the mountains. that's still where we could get 40 to 60 this evening a

hills, not far from the hollywood sign. we will certainly bring you updates as soon as we have them in. >>> a look at the greater los angeles area, at least five people have died, which ripped through altadena. and the palisades fire near malibu, the third fire is burning near i-5. all right, so let's take a live look at the night sky as you can see just glowing right now. fire fight will be continuing as the winds rage on now. the focus is on the eaton fire that has burned through more than 10,000 acres. and in addition to the five deaths, officials say there are untold number of injuries including people who will ignore the evacuation warnings. >>> meanwhile the palisades fire has burned through nearly 16,000 acres. that is more than half the size of san francisco. the fire was sparked yesterday morning at the pacific palisades neighborhoods. and even though the eaton fire is the smaller of the two main fires, it might be the bigger concern. and so the fire has been leveling into entire neighborhoods faster than the fire

bring them to hollywood. >> does this represent a geographical change as hollywood, which has to succumbed to california law -- vegas, mark wahlberg's example, might represent what a lot of studios -- the cities encourage actual business and noncancellation culture. >> possibly send them to vegas, texas. there is something completely different going on here: military recruitment. hear me out. hollywood has often been the vehicle by which the u.s. government does its recruiting. look at the individuals trump picked: stallone, rambo, vietnam veteran. mel gibson, the patriot. these movies inspire pride in one's country and make you want to fight for everything that is american. recall that when the first top gun came out, it was so popular among young men and women that they had recruiting booths in theaters so moviegoers could sign up for the military. this goes hand-in-hand with pete hegseth's goal of raising military recruitment. i think for something else in play. by virtue of the individuals he picked. he d

uh, the six fires, the hollywood hills. i used to work in that district in the early 2000, and we did fight a few fires in the hollywood hills. it's steep. it's rough terrain, and the only thing we, i think have going for us now this evening is that the wind is definitely starting to die down a little bit. um, we'll take anything that we can get based on what the weather predictions say. it's supposed to even lay down a little bit more by tomorrow. so we're hoping for that. that lets us get an upper hand on some of these fires, and we can really start to go to work without battling the erratic winds. that's what we're up against in every single one of these fires. >> how do you capitalize on that slight reprieve? is this the time now that more firefighters are used or brought in? obviously, without the wind, it's far less erratic. but this still poses a grave danger to you. >> oh, it sure does. and because it exploded in so many different ways and so many different areas, we have put out, you know, the all call to our neigh
