you can see it, home after home completely gone. they are taking to us where they say there is a firefight right now from the air. they are now dropping water. but before we even get there, over this ridge, the pacific palisades, entire communities wiped away, homes burned to the ground. this is just a devastating view as we fly over pacific palisades. you can see down the row just how quickly these fires spread. cal fire deputy incident commander justin mccomb. when you look at the scope of the devastation here, what kind of winds were you dealing with in those first 24 hours? >> the winds we saw were 70, 80, 90 miles an hour along the pacific coast highway. and that was what the environment, the firefighters were dealing with. there was embers just flying across laterally. very difficult to even do anything as far as control. putting the edges of the fire out, mainly going house to house, protecting as many homes as you could. the priority was for life, try to get people out of the fire. >> reporter: he tells me three days into th

we've got a home here. i'm going to flip over here. another home lost.y, homes down this street gone. this one completely levelled. the firefighters here, they're not trying to save these structures. they're trying to prevent these flames from jumping to other neighbourhoods. you see all these embers? in some cases, they're being carried more than a mile in advance of these source flames, lighting other homes on fire. let's go back to emma vardy now. and, emma, this area is no stranger to wildfires, but nothing could have prepared them for this. what makes this so different is that there are so many fires burning at once, and they're burning so close to residential areas. now, emergency crews on the ground have admitted theyjust don't have enough people to deal with this developing situation, and some of those fires are still growing in size. the hillsides are still burning behind us, and every time the winds blow, there's a gust of wind, we're just seeing flames up on the hillside there burst back into life. a reminder of how unpredictable this fire is

that's what he used to fight the fire at his home, to protect his home and even neighbors homes.eled dirt on the flames to protect his home and his home, and a couple others were still standing, but so many of his friends and neighbors did not. we had one neighbor after another coming and checking on him, saying, what happened to your home? he told them the status of his home. he asked them the status of theirs, one right after the other. they talked about their homes being burned to the ground. the other thing that is so striking out here that we've been finding out is just so hard to even process, is that there have been looters. police have made several arrests for people looting the homes that are still standing, and people just trying to come through and see what they can salvage here. so it has just been really tragic to hear that part of it. but again, there are so many people coming together to help. i know people from all over have been asking me to, how can i help? what can i do? there are ways abc news has some links on the website about how you can help. i have that o

half a million new homes rehabilitated homes and new homes to thede market. right around distressedwe rightd communities weie have poisons ad someone doing something about that? many times it goes to this evaluation gap. another issue associated with that how do we power emergent developers particularly those indigenous to the community that needs the support. not just to scale up large multifamily work that is importantin and we need that but we need single-family rehab. those opportunities are challenged by capitol market constraints which limit the pool of capitol available to those developers. that is something have been working on. we have a program in baltimore we bring the capitol to emerging and developing color doing single family scattered site rehab. flipping those into affordable homeownership opportunities. we also recognize, good work has happened on the demand side run homeownership. there's the credit program a lot of dpa, there's counseling resources that did not exist before a lot of labor and advocacy went into creating those. many of those
