now, mayor bass has said the cuts did not impact lafd response.sperson for la fire reaffirming the mayor's stance. this is an absolutely unprecedented event. we have you know, we have another fire that just broke out. any fire department, even our size, is stretched thin. now, these wildfires in southern california come just days after two bay area fire stations temporarily closed. station 25 and station 28, both in the oakland hills, and they closed to help with oakland's nearly $130 million budget deficit. the closure for station 28 is slated for six months, but people who live close by are uneasy with the closure. the kelter fire sparked in the oakland hills last fall, while more than 20 years ago, in 1991, a deadly fire destroyed homes in the oakland hills. now, with these closures, people who live in the grass valley neighborhood say their closest fire station is about two miles away. oakland's fire chief has acknowledged that with these closures, they can lead to delays in emergency when just seconds matter. ken houston, who represents the g

representative from the fire department to address that, but i will also say that within this fiscal year, lafd actually would go above what was allocated on july 1st. this is an absolutely unprecedented event. we have, you know, we have another fire that just broke out. any fire department, even our size is sttched thin. as crews raced to contain the flames, president biden and governor newsom met with local fire officials and promising to direct all possible resources to the fire fight. we have a mutual aid system that's second to none in the country. hand in glove, i saw within the first hour of this fire, first hour being on scene, folks from the bay area, because we have pre-positioned. we're right here on the scene across los angeles county tonight, the devastation is still sinking in as people navigate how to move forward. i'm hoping i just wake up and it's a dream, but it's not. but you're with your family. i'm with my family. my kids are safe. my dogs are safe. we're alive. but it just. it was our home. jocelyn moran, nbc, bay area news. that is a hard pill to swallow, for sure. all ri

lafd is now warning people in impacted areas after a hillside home overlooking the ocean survived the fire only to split in half from a nearby landslide from water runoff during the firefight. >> all of the natural vegetation and brush has been vert. so people should be aware who live here that we're also we're not out of the woods yet. we're going to have to deal with rains and mudslides that come as well in the result of a wildfire. >> in a press conference thursday, county officials said extra crews were already being deployed. >> in order to address this, we are developing plans for both areas to capture and hold this debris back as much as we can during a rain event. >> as they warrant rain could be coming later this month. >> it's going rain eventually. yeah. yeah. you want the rain but you don't want too much now. they've lost a lot of the root systems there and then flash flooding and mudslides and what mask. okay. one problem at a time. i the winds. yeah. we have a of a reprieve right now. yeah, we are getting a little bit of a break. so that's probably the best news of all f
