lapd is looking into the possibility that this was an arson and reportedly have a person in custody. there is a person that was spotted by where the fire started. we're not sure if that person in custody is that samame person. but tonight, law enforcement looking into that. reporting in westlake village velena jones nbc, bay area news. okay. thank you very much. velena now new at 11. governor newsom has called in the cavalry, deploying the california national guard to help out. 400 troops will be tasked with traffic control and protecting critical infrastructure. they will also have to support law enforcement as they try to crack down on looting. so far, 20 people have been arrested. now, the governor posting this on x, warning that anyone taking advantage of an evacuated community will not be tolerated. now, to combat that, looting curfews will be enforced from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. in those evacuation zones for the pacific palisades area and the eaton fires. so definitely some progress. but the firefight is far from over. los angeles city leaders are now looking forward, though, already

president, it's an honor to be able to be here and be part of this and represent the men and women of lapd and policing to support our partners in the fire service. what we saw here in the last 24 hours is unprecedented. i've never seen anything like this. fires driven by the type of winds that we saw up to 100 miles an our our role out there is strictly support to be there for evacuations, to get people out of the affected area, to be able to provide for traffic control and then crime suppression as the fire is fought and some may come in and try and take the opportunity to go into these homes and steal from them. so we're going to be on top of that. i just wanto say the relationship we enjoy here, in my case under the leadership of mayor bass, but all of our elected officials is unlike, i think, anywhere else in the country. we are blessed to have the relationship between police and fire that we do here. unfortunately, we do this kind of thing frequently, never to this level, but i can't say enough about how important that is. and as we go into the next five years with the super bowl and
