Speaker 1: K if I AM six point forty.
Speaker 2: We live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and we're continuing
Speaker 2: our coverage of what's going on in southern California.
Speaker 1: It's more than the fires.
Speaker 2: It's about the recovery at this point for many people,
Speaker 2: and that's going to take many, many varied in different forms,
Speaker 2: depending on your circumstance, and we're trying to make this happen.
Speaker 2: We're trying to get in touch with Supervisor Lindsay Horvath
Speaker 2: of the third District, trying to have her come on
Speaker 2: at the bottom of the hour.
Speaker 1: She's in a car right now, having.
Speaker 2: Some cell phone difficulties, you know, with the wind that's
Speaker 2: going on and also being in a car, cell phone
Speaker 2: coverage is probably spotty at best, but we hope to
Speaker 2: have her on at the bottom of the hour. Chris Woolsey,
Speaker 2: you remember him from Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment.
Speaker 2: He's back on the show. He's going to join us
Speaker 2: in the studio tonight. He has a new gig, he
Speaker 2: has new titles to tell us about, and we want
Speaker 2: to catch up with him and see what's going on
Speaker 2: with him. Of course, in just a moment, I want
Speaker 2: to play you some of the audio from the presser
Speaker 2: this morning, and you can probably gather from the comments,
Speaker 2: especially from Robert Luna and also LAPD Chief Jim McDonald,
Speaker 2: and obviously you've heard Nathan Hockman yesterday. They are really
Speaker 2: stepping up the enforcement of the curfew, making sure that
Speaker 2: no one who has no business being in these evacuated
Speaker 2: zones are going to remain there, and they're trying to
Speaker 2: remind you and also warn you that you will be
Speaker 2: arrested and that PABLIO'KEEINNI will also join us over the
Speaker 2: course of the show tonight. What's Up with Nick is
Speaker 2: back and Nick will be back with us in studio,
Speaker 2: but with no further ado, let's get into some of
Speaker 2: this press conference earlier today.
Speaker 1: Here is Sheriff Luna.
Speaker 3: Our Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department personnel deployment stands at
Speaker 3: approximately one thousand, three hundred this morning.
Speaker 4: And again, remember we are working.
Speaker 3: Different incidences throughout the county, primarily the Palisades fire for
Speaker 3: the county portion of it, and then the eat and
Speaker 3: fire as well. Many of our deputies haven't had days off.
Speaker 3: They're on twelve hour shifts, so I really appreciate all
Speaker 3: their work and their time away from their family. We
Speaker 3: have approximately two hundred and thirty four officers from the
Speaker 3: California Highway Patrol Seandaree, the commissioner of the CHP was
Speaker 3: kind enough to give us more bodies as of yesterday.
Speaker 3: We also are being assisted by sixteen agents from the
Speaker 3: Drug Enforcement Administration, and they're not working narcotics. They are
Speaker 3: here assisting us and we're getting calls from a lot
Speaker 3: of our law enforcement partners, so we're very grateful that
Speaker 3: they're here to assist us. We have well over six
Speaker 3: hundred National Guards personnel that are deployed to not only
Speaker 3: the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department areas of responsibility, but
Speaker 3: the Los Angeles Police Department, Pasadena, Santa Monica.
Speaker 4: And other places as well.
Speaker 3: Evacuation orders, we have approximate eighty eight thousand residents that
Speaker 3: are still under evacuation orders, and regarding evacuation warnings, we
Speaker 3: have approximately eighty four thousand, eight hundred residents that continue
Speaker 3: to be under warnings.
Speaker 4: There is a decrease in these.
Speaker 3: Numbers, but as our fire partners have stated, it is
Speaker 3: still very dangerous. For the next twenty four hours so
Speaker 3: we're keeping a very close eye, and that's why we
Speaker 3: have not downgraded the number of personnel. If fire tells
Speaker 3: us you've got to go here because the wind's blown
Speaker 3: this way and we need to do evacuations, that's where
Speaker 3: we are going. I just want to remind everybody that
Speaker 3: the last time we had to evacuate people under in order,
Speaker 3: our deputies very heroically saved many people's lives and they
Speaker 3: had to rescue people, and a lot of the people
Speaker 3: that were rescuing who waited till the last minute to
Speaker 3: leave the order or the evacuation order, many of them
Speaker 3: had significant burns on them. I just want to reiterate
Speaker 3: that when we're giving you warnings, that's the time you
Speaker 3: should probably think about going. Actually we recommend you go.
Speaker 3: Don't wait till the order is given. We don't want
Speaker 3: you to impact your own life or the life of
Speaker 3: your loved ones. Repopulation conversations are absolutely active and ongoing.
Speaker 3: I don't want to get too much into that. I
Speaker 3: don't want people to start thinking everything's okay. Now everything's
Speaker 3: not okay yet. We'll get there, we'll get there together.
Speaker 3: But again, the winds blowing and it's going to continue
Speaker 3: to blow. Curfew is still in effect. It was an
Speaker 3: effect last night. It's going to be an effect tonight again,
Speaker 3: starting at six pm all the way to six am.
Speaker 3: This is for the impacted evacuation order areas. If you
Speaker 3: do not live there, have any business there. Said say
Speaker 3: this every day, don't go. Why am I repeating it
Speaker 3: because we continue to make arrest for this violation. I
Speaker 3: don't want to make more arrest, so please stay away
Speaker 3: from there. We understand that our residents want to go
Speaker 3: back to their homes, but this is a disaster area.
Speaker 4: Chief Maroney mentioned it.
Speaker 3: As soon as it is rendered safe, we will try
Speaker 3: and prioritize getting you back home. We understand that is important.
Speaker 3: Regarding arrest, we had a few more arrests overnight.
Speaker 4: Our total.
Speaker 3: When I give totals, this is for the Ali County
Speaker 3: Sheriff's Department area only and doesn't count LAPD, Pasadene and
Speaker 3: other agencies.
Speaker 4: We are up to thirty nine.
Speaker 3: That's thirty three in the Eating Fire area and six
Speaker 3: in the Palisades area arrest Eaten. We have nine curfew
Speaker 3: arrest and two for drone incidences. Please do not fly
Speaker 3: drones in these impacted areas. And eleven were for burglary
Speaker 3: in that Eaton area. For Palisades, we have six arrest,
Speaker 3: three for curfew and three for burglary. Last night's total
Speaker 3: arrest one arrest for curfew violation and carrying a loaded weapon.
Speaker 3: If again, I'm repeating this and it keeps on happening,
Speaker 3: if you are carrying narcotics and a gun, you shouldn't
Speaker 3: do it anyways.
Speaker 4: You shouldn't absolutely go into.
Speaker 3: These evacuation order areas where there's a curfew with those
Speaker 3: items because you are likely going to get arrested by
Speaker 3: our deputies. They're being very proactive and you're going to
Speaker 3: get arrested blue collar versus white collar crimes.
Speaker 4: You've heard it over and over.
Speaker 3: We're not just looking for burglars and looters committing crimes
Speaker 3: on the street, but we're also focused on anybody who's
Speaker 3: involved in any kind of scam, whether you're asking for
Speaker 3: donations for pets or whatever you think you're doing to
Speaker 3: make money off of the poor people who've been involved.
Speaker 4: We're telling you don't do it. If you think you're a.
Speaker 3: Victim of this, notify us immediately. Moving on search and
Speaker 3: rescue operations based on our grid searches. This is information
Speaker 3: that when we concluded last night with our search and
Speaker 3: rescue teams, we have searched approximately three thousand, six hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty four properties in the Altadena area thus far.
Speaker 3: Yesterday we searched one eight hundred properties in Eton, and
Speaker 3: we also have been working with teams that are coming
Speaker 3: in to work on the palisides to begin searching for
Speaker 3: remains as well.
Speaker 4: So this operation continues.
Speaker 3: It's active, not easy work, and the good news was
Speaker 3: that no other remains were found yesterday. Hopefully that happens
Speaker 3: again today. We don't want the death toll to continue
Speaker 3: to go up. So the death toll stands at twenty
Speaker 3: one for the sheriff's areas, does not include lapd or Pasadena.
Speaker 3: That is a total of sixteen and Eaton and five
Speaker 3: in the Palisades. We are actively working twenty four missing
Speaker 3: person cases, eighteen in the Eaton area, six in the
Speaker 3: Malibu area, all adults. As I conclude, to get any
Speaker 3: updated information, Lacounty dot gov for emergencies, that is updating
Speaker 3: on evacuation orders, evacuation warnings, road closures, and for all
Speaker 3: of our community members who desperately want to get back
Speaker 3: into their houses as we back off of orders in
Speaker 3: the warnings. Look at that website that'll give you the
Speaker 3: most updated information and donations. Emergency Network Los Angeles. I
Speaker 3: continue to be absolutely amazed with our community, all the positives.
Speaker 4: They want to donate, they want to help. That's where
Speaker 4: you go.
Speaker 2: We'll have more from the press conference earlier today, and
Speaker 2: also we'll tell you about four lawsuits already which have
Speaker 2: been filed against Southern California Edison over the Eton fire.
Speaker 2: Now we're moving to a different stage of all this.
Speaker 2: Now it's about assessment of blame. Now it's about who
Speaker 2: is responsible, and we'll get into that in just a moment.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 5: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: And I wanted to remind you we had a very
Speaker 2: thorough conversation last night with Cynthia Mitchell Hurd, who's president
Speaker 2: and CEO at the Los Angeles Urban League, and all
Speaker 2: this week. It's just Tuesday, but it's running all this
Speaker 2: week through Friday, nine am to nine pm. Los Angeles
Speaker 2: Urban League, in partnership with New Revelation Church, they're presently
Speaker 2: hosting a week long help center to provide relief for
Speaker 2: the victims of the Eton fire in Altadena. They have
Speaker 2: all sorts of supplies, blankets, water, hygiene products and more.
Speaker 2: And it's taking place at New Revelation Baptist Church which
Speaker 2: is eight five five North Orange Grove Boulevard in Pasadena.
Speaker 2: You may be in your car right now, you may
Speaker 2: be in the area. It's not too late. You can
Speaker 2: get there tonight before nine pm. Again, it's that New
Speaker 2: Revelation Baptist Church which is eight five to five North
Speaker 2: Orange Grove Boulevard in Pastadata. And also want to let
Speaker 2: you know something else which is kind of running parallel
Speaker 2: to it. Four new lawsuits have been filed against see
Speaker 2: Southern California Edison over that very same Eaten fire, and
Speaker 2: they were filed, interestingly enough, yesterday, and they accused Southern
Speaker 2: California Edison of sparking the fire. And lawyers for the
Speaker 2: homeowners in the Altadena area announced the suits yesterday late yesterday,
Speaker 2: saying their clients either had to evacuate their houses or
Speaker 2: lost their homes entirely in the fire. And each of
Speaker 2: the suits blames Southern California Edison because the fire started
Speaker 2: under a Southern California Edison transmission tower. An official cause
Speaker 2: has not yet been determined, but from what I've seen,
Speaker 2: there may be some video evidence to corroborate that quote.
Speaker 2: We believe that the Eton fire was ignited because of
Speaker 2: see's failure to de energize its overhead wires which traverse
Speaker 2: Eaton Canyon. That's according to attorney Richard Bridgford, who is
Speaker 2: representing one of the homeowners. And there were two other
Speaker 2: suits filed as well, one representing a FedEx worker who
Speaker 2: lost their Altadena home and a second representing multiple Altadena homeowners,
Speaker 2: and their claim are very similar. I suspect at some
Speaker 2: point the if these actually get to court, they'll be
Speaker 2: just blended together in a massive class action lawsuit, as
Speaker 2: we've seen with like PG and and other companies similar circumstances.
Speaker 2: But you know, we're in a new phase now as
Speaker 2: we move through this. It's not just about those who
Speaker 2: are being evacuated those who have lost their homes. And
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to minimize it or diminish it because
Speaker 2: people are still under the threat of losing their homes.
Speaker 2: I'm saying that now the next step has begun as
Speaker 2: far as people trying to restore their lives and that's
Speaker 2: going to take many forms along the way. Let's get
Speaker 2: back to the press conference earlier today and this is
Speaker 2: la excuse me, la FD chief for the City Crowley.
Speaker 6: Mayor Baths and I recently conducted an aerial survey of
Speaker 6: the impacted areas. Our focus was on evaluating the size,
Speaker 6: the scope, and the complexity of these fires to gain
Speaker 6: a full understanding of its total impact on our communities.
Speaker 6: This assessment was essential as we begin planning and prioritizing
Speaker 6: resources and support needed to make sure that we can
Speaker 6: facilitate in the recovery efforts here and now. Our goal
Speaker 6: is to address both the immediate challenges and the long
Speaker 6: term needs of those infected by these devastating events. Yesterday,
Speaker 6: I also had the opportunity to meet with our international
Speaker 6: partners from Mexico to express our heartfelt gratitude for their assistance.
Speaker 6: The outpour and of support from both near and far,
Speaker 6: I tell you, is absolutely remarkable. I also had the
Speaker 6: opportunity just to take a moment to talk with people,
Speaker 6: and I cannot tell you how many times everybody has
Speaker 6: been asking out our firefighters and our first responders, and
Speaker 6: they're asking how are they holding up? I visited our
Speaker 6: field resources, the Emergency Operations Center, our Department Operations Center,
Speaker 6: and I tell you our firefighters and first responders are
Speaker 6: standing strong, they hold their heads up high, and they
Speaker 6: will continue to work hard for you. Thank you for
Speaker 6: your care and concern, and I tell you our thoughts
Speaker 6: and prayers holistically are with everybody that has been impacted
Speaker 6: by these fires. I will now provide just a brief
Speaker 6: update on the Palisades Fire. This fire is now at
Speaker 6: twenty three thousand, seven hundred and thirteen acres with seventeen
Speaker 6: percent containment. With five thousand, two hundred personnel that are
Speaker 6: assigned to the incident. Firefighters will continue to work tirelessly
Speaker 6: throughout the day to increase containment lines, prevent further spread,
Speaker 6: and address any flare up. The Hearst fire seven and
Speaker 6: ninety nine acres at ninety seven percent contained. Now, to
Speaker 6: all of those who have lost so much and to
Speaker 6: those who still have not returned to your homes, know
Speaker 6: that everybody involved in this incident in the Los Angeles
Speaker 6: region is focused on you. I want to express my
Speaker 6: heartfelt gratitude to the community that has given so much
Speaker 6: back to those impacted, as well as to our LAFD,
Speaker 6: and thank you to the LFD Foundation that provides vital
Speaker 6: equipment and funds critical They fund critical programs, tools and
Speaker 6: equipment to help the LFD save lives and protect property.
Speaker 6: You heard Chief Maroni say it already, but I think
Speaker 6: it's very, very important that I reiterate these points life
Speaker 6: threatening and destructive and widespread winds already here. For this
Speaker 6: significant wind event, we are taking an aggressive, lean forward
Speaker 6: posture and the LFDA staffed all available resources, strategically placing
Speaker 6: fire patrols and engines in the unimpacted high fire risk
Speaker 6: areas in the city. We are carefully managing our operations
Speaker 6: to ensure that we can quickly respond to any new fires.
Speaker 6: In addition to the increased call volume across the city
Speaker 6: of Los Angeles. I urge and everybody here urges you
Speaker 6: to remain alert as danger has not yet passed. Please
Speaker 6: follow all evacuation warnings and orders without delay and prioritize
Speaker 6: your safety.
Speaker 2: We just got off the phone with Supervisor Lindsay Horvath,
Speaker 2: so we were able to get her to drive hopefully
Speaker 2: in a better signal area. So when we come back,
Speaker 2: we will have La County Board of Supervisor representing District three,
Speaker 2: Lindsay Horvath, to join us and give us the latest
Speaker 2: not only what's happening on the ground, but also what's
Speaker 2: happening on a municipal level far as what's happening with
Speaker 2: the La County Board of Supervisors. That's next. I'm O Kelly,
Speaker 2: ca IF I AM six forty. We're live everywhere in
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 5: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Mo Kelly here as we continue our coverage of the
Speaker 2: fires all across southern California. And joining me now is
Speaker 2: a regular guest on the show, Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, who's
Speaker 2: the supervisor for the third District in La County. Supervisor Horrorvat,
Speaker 2: thank you for coming back on this evening.
Speaker 7: Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2: Let me just get out of the way, because it
Speaker 2: seems like, unfortunately, a new fire, a new emergency every
Speaker 2: single day, and even though we may be getting our
Speaker 2: arms around some of these fires, it seems like a
Speaker 2: new one pops up, or we're having an issue with crime.
Speaker 1: Well, how would you assess where we are right now?
Speaker 8: So I know that people are tired. Our spirits are weary,
Speaker 8: but we will not break. The people who are on
Speaker 8: the front lines of this fire are nothing short of extraordinary.
Speaker 8: I can assure you we have the best, brightest, finest,
Speaker 8: strongest team, most sophisticated response to these fires that you
Speaker 8: could ask for. We have people who are relentless in
Speaker 8: their commitment to ensuring that we keep people safe and
Speaker 8: do all that we can to protect our community and
Speaker 8: our property. And I know that their families are also
Speaker 8: supporting them and we want to see them come home safe.
Speaker 8: So we've got their backs in this moment, which is
Speaker 8: why we're encouraging everyone to adhere to the evacuation orders.
Speaker 8: The sooner we get people out of these areas while
Speaker 8: they're fighting the fires, the better chance they have to
Speaker 8: focus on the fire and not worrying about protecting your safety.
Speaker 2: I know that there are overlapping agencies which are handling
Speaker 2: this situation, from LA Fire Department City to LA County
Speaker 2: Fire Department. You have Mayor Bass who's been highly criticized
Speaker 2: for what she has or has not done, and you
Speaker 2: have the LA County Board of Supervisors working with the
Speaker 2: law Archer County. For those who don't understand some of
Speaker 2: these differences. What is it that mayor Bass has to
Speaker 2: do relative to what you and other border supervisors need
Speaker 2: to do in this emergency.
Speaker 7: So some of it is.
Speaker 8: In the areas where La City responds, LA City Fire,
Speaker 8: La City, La A Police Department. So in the Palisades
Speaker 8: area that's part of the incorporated City of Los Angeles,
Speaker 8: those entities respond for some of those emergency calls. LADWP
Speaker 8: is the utility lead for electricity for water supply in
Speaker 8: the county areas, both unincorporated areas like Sunset, Mesa and Topanga,
Speaker 8: as well as some of these smaller incorporated cities like Malibu,
Speaker 8: Agora Hills. These areas rely on County Fire, County sheriffs.
Speaker 8: They also rely in many cases on County public Works
Speaker 8: for water supply. They work with Southern California Edison for
Speaker 8: the electric electricity so or with Clean Power Alliance, which
Speaker 8: is the new CCA, And so we work with different
Speaker 8: entities on the county side on some of these efforts.
Speaker 8: Now there's overlap in that the county is also the
Speaker 8: social safety net for the entire region. So things like
Speaker 8: supportive services, mental health, Department of Public Health Services, people
Speaker 8: needing new relfilled prescriptions, you know, the registrar recorder for
Speaker 8: some of those critical documents. All of that is county
Speaker 8: service and that is provided to people all throughout Los
Speaker 8: Angeles County. And of course every resident of the City
Speaker 8: of Los Angeles is also a resident of the County
Speaker 8: of Los Angeles. So in my office, when people call
Speaker 8: and ask for something that's technically a municipal issue and
Speaker 8: a city should respond, we work with the city partners
Speaker 8: to make sure they get the help they need because
Speaker 8: there's nothing more frustrating than calling and speaking to somebody
Speaker 8: and saying and hearing that's not what we do.
Speaker 7: We can't do that.
Speaker 8: We have to direct people to make sure they understand
Speaker 8: who's there to help.
Speaker 2: In the past there so, I've heard very pointed remarks
Speaker 2: from La County District Attorney Nathan Hakman, La County Sheriff
Speaker 2: Robert Luna, and also LAPD Chief Jim McDonald about how
Speaker 2: they're going to handle looters or it it would be criminals.
Speaker 2: My question is, are we seeing an actual uptick in
Speaker 2: crime or we're just seeing law enforcement doing what it's
Speaker 2: always been doing.
Speaker 8: Well, what we are seeing is, unfortunately, people taking advantage
Speaker 8: of these already devastating circumstances, and what we know is
Speaker 8: that the response is swift, it is fierce, and they
Speaker 8: did not come to play. They are making sure that
Speaker 8: people are held accountable. At this time of crisis. The
Speaker 8: last thing people need to be worried about is being
Speaker 8: victimized all over again. And I've heard people say, you
Speaker 8: see this devastation, what could possibly be left?
Speaker 7: Well, I've seen people come.
Speaker 8: I've seen stories where people have come by and found
Speaker 8: the smallest of remnants that it was meaningful to them.
Speaker 7: I've heard of engagement rings that have been found.
Speaker 8: There are even the smallest of things in the rubble
Speaker 8: that is left. People have the right to come back
Speaker 8: and go through their belongings without anyone going through them
Speaker 8: and picking through them and trying to take advantage of
Speaker 8: this crisis. We also know that there are businesses and
Speaker 8: corporations that are trying to take advantage. We've heard of
Speaker 8: price gouging on rent, We've heard price gouging on services,
Speaker 8: and the Attorney General and the district Attorney are having
Speaker 8: none of that either. So everybody who is impacted by
Speaker 8: this crisis, we are working to protect them from being
Speaker 8: further disadvantaged. And further preyed upon, and we are here
Speaker 8: to help you.
Speaker 1: There are different levels to this.
Speaker 2: I mentioned that there's a city and county component, but
Speaker 2: there's also a state and federal opponent.
Speaker 1: We all read the headlines.
Speaker 2: We know that there is some concern about what will
Speaker 2: happen when President elect Trump becomes President Trump. How confident
Speaker 2: should we be as Californians. The Governor Gavin Newsom can
Speaker 2: be the governor we need in this moment, and the president,
Speaker 2: President Trump at that point next week will be the president.
Speaker 2: We need to make sure the Californians and Southern Californians
Speaker 2: get the aid that.
Speaker 7: They need in this moment.
Speaker 8: What we need our leaders focused on the safety, the
Speaker 8: security and compassion for those who are most impacted by
Speaker 8: these fires. We can't play politics at a time when
Speaker 8: it comes to people's safety, period, and in this moment,
Speaker 8: we have to prioritize ensuring that everyone who has been
Speaker 8: devastated by this incredible disaster gets the help that they need,
Speaker 8: and we also need that from all of our political leaders.
Speaker 7: We have political alignment now, and I hope that as.
Speaker 8: Things change that we continue that focus on safety and
Speaker 8: resources and making sure that people are protected.
Speaker 2: My guest right now on the line is La County
Speaker 2: Supervisor Lindsay Horvath, who represents the third District Supervisor. Horvath,
Speaker 2: I know you're in the car, and I know a
Speaker 2: cell phone. The connection will be tenuous, but if you
Speaker 2: can hold on, I would love to get a few
Speaker 2: more minutes and a few more questions in with you
Speaker 2: if you could hold on. So we're going to try
Speaker 2: and see if we can keep you on the line
Speaker 2: during the break and then pick up our conversation on
Speaker 2: the other side.
Speaker 1: I'm Mo Kelly.
Speaker 2: We're continuing our coverage of the fires all over southern
Speaker 2: California and also the response from our civic leaders.
Speaker 5: You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 5: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 9: Where will Rogers State Beach here and this parking lot
Speaker 9: here behind me. We're not going to show it to
Speaker 9: you because it's kind of dark, but this is basically
Speaker 9: a giant parking lot of fire engines. They're from all
Speaker 9: over the place, from all over the West, Washington State,
Speaker 9: Oregon State, Oregon, Arizona, Utah, you name it.
Speaker 4: They are here and they are ready.
Speaker 9: We've got with in the forecast gusts of up to
Speaker 9: seventy five miles an hour, and they're in the forecast
Speaker 9: until tomorrow at noon. And the fear is that you
Speaker 9: could have this whole thing reignite areas that are smoldering
Speaker 9: here from the Palisades fire, and then you could end
Speaker 9: up with a very, very big flare up here. Now
Speaker 9: over the weekend, what firefighters did when this fire was
Speaker 9: making a move towards Mandeville Canyon and the San Fernando Valley,
Speaker 9: firefighters relied on aircraft. They brought in air tankers and helicopters.
Speaker 9: They kept on bombing the flames with water and fire retardant,
Speaker 9: and that effort paid off.
Speaker 4: They protected a lot of homes.
Speaker 9: Fire officials are hoping to rely on aircraft again today
Speaker 9: if this fire flares up, but in a worst case scenario,
Speaker 9: if it's just too.
Speaker 4: Windy, they won't be able to do that.
Speaker 9: When the winds get really fierce, they have to ground
Speaker 9: the helicopters in the planes, it's.
Speaker 4: Just not safe to fly them.
Speaker 9: County Fire Chief Anthony Moroni says, it's just a question
Speaker 9: of how severe this latest Santa Ana wind event turns
Speaker 9: out to be.
Speaker 2: K f I AM six forty. It's bo Kelly. We're
Speaker 2: live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I'm having a conversation
Speaker 2: with Lindsay Horvath, who is La County Supervisor for the
Speaker 2: third District, and we've been trying to keep her on
Speaker 2: the line because of the wind. It's been blowing, it's
Speaker 2: been howling, and she's in a car on a cell phone.
Speaker 2: It keeps dropping on to see if we can keep
Speaker 2: this conversation going just as long as we can. But
Speaker 2: Supervisor horror Bath, speaking of the wind, I can hear
Speaker 2: the wind outside my studio right now starting to pick up.
Speaker 1: We know that tonight is going to be a major
Speaker 1: wind event.
Speaker 2: You've probably told people already, but let's tell them again
Speaker 2: what they should remember what they need to do, be
Speaker 2: it masking up or making sure that their residence, if
Speaker 2: it's still standing, is ready for this.
Speaker 8: So most importantly, you can follow emergency dot La County
Speaker 8: dot gov for all emergency evacuation warnings and orders.
Speaker 7: You'll get those alerts on.
Speaker 8: Your phone and you can match them up on our
Speaker 8: website if you have any questions, and following those evacuation
Speaker 8: warnings and orders are critical. The second piece is if
Speaker 8: you are outside in any of these impacted areas, wearing
Speaker 8: a ninety five masks to address the particulates that are
Speaker 8: in the air. We know that they're very difficult conditions
Speaker 8: out here. The air quality is bad and while it
Speaker 8: might start to improve, we also know what these fires
Speaker 8: potentially expanding that could change as well. So don't go
Speaker 8: outside if you don't have to. If you're in any
Speaker 8: of these areas, wear a mask. Limit your outdoor exercise
Speaker 8: and activities.
Speaker 7: Just you know where.
Speaker 8: We have a couple more days to get through, and
Speaker 8: we want to make sure that people are staying healthy
Speaker 8: and staying safe.
Speaker 2: If you're just to me in My guest right now
Speaker 2: is Lindsay Horvath, who's La County Supervisor for the third District.
Speaker 2: Supervisor Hororath, I just have a couple more questions before
Speaker 2: I let you go. Let's talk about some of the
Speaker 2: good news. I have an outpouring of support from the
Speaker 2: community of Californian's helping Californians, something I've never seen before.
Speaker 2: And that's just my limited view. You were there on
Speaker 2: the ground, what have you noticed?
Speaker 8: But what I have seen is an outpouring of support,
Speaker 8: even from people who have been impacted. I've received phone
Speaker 8: calls from people who have lost everything who have said
Speaker 8: we're here to help support and be lines of communication
Speaker 8: to our neighborhood. We know people have a lot of
Speaker 8: questions and we want to help get the answers. It
Speaker 8: has been extraordinary the outpouring of support for our frontline workers,
Speaker 8: you know, food being delivered to fire departments and to
Speaker 8: the command post, so much so that we've had to
Speaker 8: reroute all of those donations because there was so much
Speaker 8: coming in. If we're going to get through this, we
Speaker 8: need to focus on the charity.
Speaker 7: That people are bringing forward, the.
Speaker 8: Compassion, the community that is coming forward to support people
Speaker 8: in this difficult time. And I believe that we have
Speaker 8: the capacity to do that, and I think it's critical
Speaker 8: to our rebuild efforts.
Speaker 2: Supervisor Horrorvath, just a little bit of levity. We know
Speaker 2: that the La Rams had to move their game to Arizona,
Speaker 2: and the Lakers and Clippers play their games in La
Speaker 2: slash Inglewood last night. And I know you're a big
Speaker 2: sports fan, and I also know that you're in a
Speaker 2: lum of Notre Dame, and Notre Dame is in a
Speaker 2: national championship coming up against Ohio State. So let me
Speaker 2: just ask you before I let you go. Are you
Speaker 2: nervous for the football game against Ohio State?
Speaker 7: What do I have to be nervous about? The Lord
Speaker 7: is on our side.
Speaker 2: There you have it. She is Lindsey Horvath. At least
Speaker 2: we got to end on a lighter note. She is
