Officials say that this is far from over. The biggest fire is the one in Pacific Palisades. This one here at only 6% containment. He said he’ll be fine. I’ll be here when you guys come back, and he said his house would be here. The death toll is rising as wildfires surround Los Angeles. His house is here and he was here too. was in his bed when I found him. Officials warn the actual number of fatalities will remain unclear until investigators can safely enter fire-ravaged neighborhoods. The Kenneth fire is the 5th to strike the county during the crisis. Officials say the Palisades and Eaton fires have destroyed at least 10,000 structures. The palisades. is the most destructive in county history, despite better weather yesterday. This law is helping us focus some resources on perimeter control, getting containment around the fire. It’s given us an opportunity to deal with that, but the scope and scale is so immense. The county sheriff says about 180,000 people were under evacuation orders as of yesterday, with even more facing warnings. They urge residents to prepare in case they have to leave quickly. Many who flee will find destruction when they return. Everything, everything is just gone. You can’t even imagine the magnitude of the devastation. President Joe Biden says the federal government. Pay for all disaster response costs for about 6 months. It’s going to pay for things like debris and hazard material removal, temporary shelters, first responders salaries, and all necessary measures to protect life and property. Now we do know there was *** man arrested yesterday under suspicion of arson, but the Los Angeles Police Department cannot confirm if that person has *** direct tie to the nearby Kenneth fire, reporting from Pacific Palisades.
