1
00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919
<v Speaker 1>This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI

2
00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839
<v Speaker 1>AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand

3
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>on the iHeartRadio ANPP.

4
00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:11.080
<v Speaker 2>We have another fast moving fire that is expanding pretty quickly.

5
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:14.679
<v Speaker 2>This is up in the Castaic Lake area, right off

6
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:18.559
<v Speaker 2>of Lake Hughes Road. There have already been a couple

7
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:21.000
<v Speaker 2>of evacuation warnings that have been sent out.

8
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:21.519
<v Speaker 3>If funer.

9
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Castake Lake is right alongside I five as it heads

10
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:28.519
<v Speaker 2>north up towards the Grapevine. The fire itself is said

11
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.920
<v Speaker 2>to be on both sides of Lake Hughes Road, and

12
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:37.799
<v Speaker 2>as of right now, the evacuation warning areas are basically

13
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 2>the entire perimeter of Castaic Lake over towards I five

14
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:45.679
<v Speaker 2>down into the four Bay area. So there's a bunch

15
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:48.399
<v Speaker 2>of homes, some of the businesses right there in Castaic

16
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:50.679
<v Speaker 2>on the right side the east side of the freeway

17
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:55.359
<v Speaker 2>that are under evacuation warnings as of now. They said

18
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:58.039
<v Speaker 2>that there is considered to be a pretty rapid rate

19
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>of spread. It's simply fifty to one hundred acres as

20
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.640
<v Speaker 2>of a few minutes ago, and they are requesting at

21
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:09.280
<v Speaker 2>least four air tankers. Again, the Hughes fire burning on

22
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:13.200
<v Speaker 2>both sides of Lake Hughes Road, just to the northeast

23
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 2>of Castaic Lake. If you're on I five, you're headed

24
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:18.640
<v Speaker 2>north or you're coming into La headed south, you're going

25
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:19.599
<v Speaker 2>to see this smoke.

26
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:22.040
<v Speaker 3>It is pretty significant and will cover I five.

27
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.599
<v Speaker 2>The smoke will cover I five over the course of

28
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:26.719
<v Speaker 2>the next couple of hours.

29
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Probably, would you like your Jeopardy question before we dive

30
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:36.519
<v Speaker 1>into the flurry of activity going on in Washington? Winners

31
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.959
<v Speaker 1>for one thousand dollars. In nineteen ninety three, she became

32
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:43.799
<v Speaker 1>the first African American woman to win the Nobel Prize

33
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>for literature.

34
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.760
<v Speaker 3>Uh what year?

35
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:52.239
<v Speaker 1>Ninety three?

36
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:53.359
<v Speaker 3>Maya Angelou?

37
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Tony Morrison.

38
00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:00.239
<v Speaker 2>There were three may Angelou, Alice Walker, Tony Moore, and

39
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:01.760
<v Speaker 2>we're going to be the three that I was gonna choose.

40
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.159
<v Speaker 1>Well, okay, next time you can just we can do

41
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:05.319
<v Speaker 1>multiple choice.

42
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.520
<v Speaker 3>If you'd like. Okay, that would be great. Again.

43
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.120
<v Speaker 2>We will keep an eye on the hues fire burning

44
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:14.719
<v Speaker 2>up northern La County right alongside a Casteak Lake. Looks

45
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:18.919
<v Speaker 2>like they've updated one of those evacuation warnings into an

46
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:22.840
<v Speaker 2>evacuation order. This will be a BA on the northern

47
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:26.280
<v Speaker 2>sections of Casteak Lake. There's not a lot out there,

48
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:28.000
<v Speaker 2>so there's not a lot of people to evacuate. But

49
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.719
<v Speaker 2>if you're in that Casteak Lake State Recreation Area north

50
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.599
<v Speaker 2>of the lake, they are. They have upgraded that to

51
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.439
<v Speaker 2>an evacuation order, which means you.

52
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 3>Got to get out, all right.

53
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:44.319
<v Speaker 1>Well, the president's decision to pardon just f and part

54
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:48.680
<v Speaker 1>on them all is still getting a lot of reaction,

55
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:51.400
<v Speaker 1>shall we say, on Capitol Hill in the lake is

56
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:52.759
<v Speaker 1>where we kick off swamp.

57
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Watch politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar.

58
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:58.280
<v Speaker 3>And when I'm not kissing babies, I'm still in their lollipops.

59
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.439
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we got The real problem is that our leaders

60
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:01.960
<v Speaker 4>are done.

61
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:05.479
<v Speaker 1>The other side never quits what.

62
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:07.159
<v Speaker 4>I'm not going anywhere.

63
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.639
<v Speaker 5>So that is how you train the swat.

64
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 3>I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by

65
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 3>what has been. You know, Americans have always been gone

66
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:15.560
<v Speaker 3>at present.

67
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:16.840
<v Speaker 4>They're not stupid.

68
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.759
<v Speaker 2>A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.

69
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.080
<v Speaker 3>Whether people voted for you werena swap watch, They're all

70
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:23.560
<v Speaker 3>counted on.

71
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:26.520
<v Speaker 1>I said this earlier and I stand by it. I

72
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 1>do believe that there was too much too many details

73
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:33.479
<v Speaker 1>going on to take all of these January sixth rioters

74
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>or protesters, whatever you want to call them, on a

75
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.360
<v Speaker 1>case by case basis. I think that everyone kind of

76
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.879
<v Speaker 1>comes down on the idea that if you attacked police

77
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:46.159
<v Speaker 1>officers that day, you should not be pardoned, especially violent attacks.

78
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 1>But that was not the case. There was just too

79
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:52.479
<v Speaker 1>much to go through. I think for a president who

80
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.159
<v Speaker 1>has no tension span to take things case by case,

81
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>it's onerous. It takes a long time. But anyway, you

82
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 1>meant at the time when we were talking about this

83
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.599
<v Speaker 1>earlier that now all the people who have been pardoned,

84
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:08.000
<v Speaker 1>especially the people who carried out violence on police officers,

85
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:11.919
<v Speaker 1>kind of have a giant arrow pointing to their head

86
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.400
<v Speaker 1>as they move forward in their lives by media outlets

87
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:19.759
<v Speaker 1>or what have you. Let's not forget law enforcement. In fact,

88
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:24.160
<v Speaker 1>the first person has already been a victim of this,

89
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.319
<v Speaker 1>shall we say, I don't like to call them victims,

90
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:32.160
<v Speaker 1>but has fallen to this way of thinking. This was

91
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>a defendant from January sixth, whose felony assault charges were

92
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:40.720
<v Speaker 1>dismissed yesterday. He has now been arrested on federal gun

93
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.759
<v Speaker 1>charges today. They have been pending for nearly two years

94
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>in Florida. His name is Danielle or Daniel Ball, excuse me,

95
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>one of the hundreds charged with violence aimed at police,

96
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 1>and he was pardoned. His charges were dismissed because of

97
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:58.680
<v Speaker 1>President Trump. More than a thousand people were pardoned well.

98
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.439
<v Speaker 1>He was being held in preach trial detention in DC

99
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:04.959
<v Speaker 1>because of what a magistrate judge described as some of

100
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:07.399
<v Speaker 1>the most violent and serious offenses of any of the

101
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:11.759
<v Speaker 1>charges being brought against people there. January sixth, He's charged

102
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:15.720
<v Speaker 1>with hurling an explosive device into the Lower West Terrace,

103
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.199
<v Speaker 1>which was packed in that tunnel of the capital. The explosion,

104
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:25.240
<v Speaker 1>the magistrate judge says, allegedly disoriented officers caused hearing loss.

105
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Some of the officers had this hearing loss for months.

106
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.839
<v Speaker 1>He threw a large piece of wood into the line

107
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.920
<v Speaker 1>of officers protecting the capital. He was a felon in

108
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:37.839
<v Speaker 1>possession of a firearm.

109
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:43.639
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, this is whether the President decided

110
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.639
<v Speaker 2>to do this at last minute or not. He's going

111
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:47.800
<v Speaker 2>to get heat from his own party. He doesn't care.

112
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:52.279
<v Speaker 2>Clearly he doesn't care. But there are Republican lawmakers who

113
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.319
<v Speaker 2>have come out. Jerry Moran Republican senator out of Kansas.

114
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:59.680
<v Speaker 2>It's wrong to pardon individuals convicted of violent crime, especially

115
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:03.120
<v Speaker 2>if many of the victims were law enforcement officers. Bill Cassidy,

116
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Republican Louisiana. It's not right people who assault police officers.

117
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:09.000
<v Speaker 2>If they do the crime, they should do the time.

118
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:13.079
<v Speaker 2>Lisa Murkowski, SU's in Collins. More moderate members of the

119
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.040
<v Speaker 2>Republican Party said that they do not support pardons for

120
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:19.800
<v Speaker 2>people convicted of violent crimes. Tom Tillis out of North Carolina.

121
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:22.800
<v Speaker 2>These are some of the more conservative though. He had

122
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:25.680
<v Speaker 2>concerns with any pardon for people who do harm to

123
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:28.279
<v Speaker 2>a police officer full stop, and said the pardon of

124
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:31.800
<v Speaker 2>anybody committed who committed violence against an officer is a

125
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:35.839
<v Speaker 2>bad idea. Mitch McConnell, no one should excuse violence, and

126
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.040
<v Speaker 2>particularly violence against police officers.

127
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:39.199
<v Speaker 3>He's going to have to answer.

128
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:43.120
<v Speaker 2>I think the President is going to be asked about

129
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.720
<v Speaker 2>some of these specific offenders and the violence that they

130
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.759
<v Speaker 2>are accused of and in many places, many times convicted

131
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:54.439
<v Speaker 2>of perpetrating against police officers, the specifics, and I don't

132
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:55.839
<v Speaker 2>know how he gets away from these.

133
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:56.879
<v Speaker 3>Listen.

134
00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:59.680
<v Speaker 2>I know the January sixth Committee did away with the evidence.

135
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.240
<v Speaker 2>And but we're talking about people who are convicted in

136
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.439
<v Speaker 2>courts of law, not in Congress. Some of them may

137
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 2>have been brought up and testified before Congress, but we're

138
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:12.920
<v Speaker 2>talking about people who who were convicted in courts of law,

139
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:16.360
<v Speaker 2>and in many cases simply admitted to their behavior, admitted

140
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:20.519
<v Speaker 2>to what they did, and they were still pardoned. This

141
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.399
<v Speaker 2>Hue fire, by the way, burning near Castaic is now

142
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:27.680
<v Speaker 2>up over five hundred acres. That was quick and it's

143
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:31.199
<v Speaker 2>not going to be out anytime soon. This Hughes fire

144
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:34.279
<v Speaker 2>is burning at Lake Hughes Road and Dry Gulch Road.

145
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.959
<v Speaker 3>It is sort of just north east of Castaic Lake.

146
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:42.839
<v Speaker 2>The smoke plume from this thing is making its way

147
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:44.800
<v Speaker 2>all the way out to the coast. It is over

148
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.439
<v Speaker 2>I five as you head north up towards the Grapevine.

149
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.319
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be visible very very for a very

150
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:53.399
<v Speaker 2>large distance. We know that they have already asked for

151
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:58.399
<v Speaker 2>at least four Now they're saying an additional eight helicopters

152
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.519
<v Speaker 2>have been asked for fires about five hundred acres with

153
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:04.519
<v Speaker 2>a continued rapid rate of spread, burning to the west

154
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:08.079
<v Speaker 2>with strong winds. Incident Command says that there is one

155
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:13.040
<v Speaker 2>evacuation order area and that is right around Casteak Lake,

156
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.720
<v Speaker 2>basically the borders of Casteak Lake. If you're in that area,

157
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:19.879
<v Speaker 2>you know what's going on. This is Lake Hughes area.

158
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:23.879
<v Speaker 2>That is that it's encroaching upon cast Diak. It's Lake

159
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:24.839
<v Speaker 2>Hughes Road, right.

160
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Because Lake Hughes is right underneath or Casteak Lake is

161
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.360
<v Speaker 1>right underneath Lake Hughes, right, correct.

162
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:31.800
<v Speaker 3>But Hughes is up.

163
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Isn't it farther up into the mountains, right? But isn't

164
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:36.919
<v Speaker 1>it it's coming towards Castile. Oh, it's coming towards Castagk

165
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>I got it.

166
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Yeah, And that is I mean, like I said,

167
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.240
<v Speaker 2>there's not a lot of homes on the north and

168
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.000
<v Speaker 2>east side of Casteak Lake, but there are a bunch

169
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:48.120
<v Speaker 2>along the west side between the lake and I five,

170
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:51.159
<v Speaker 2>and those those areas between the lake and I five

171
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:53.519
<v Speaker 2>for the most part, that's evacuation warned.

172
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:54.919
<v Speaker 1>Tailor place Martens.

173
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, some of those, some of those homes that are

174
00:08:57.960 --> 00:08:59.840
<v Speaker 2>in that area, you might want to be paying a

175
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:01.960
<v Speaker 2>time to what's going on. Maybe get ready, But the

176
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.879
<v Speaker 2>evacuation order is only for the northern side for the

177
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.200
<v Speaker 2>most part. Those two arms, the northern arms of Castaic Lake.

178
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:13.039
<v Speaker 2>But it's getting bigger and there are a handful of

179
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:18.480
<v Speaker 2>things that could burn pretty significantly. So anyway, Hughes fire

180
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 2>five hundred plus acres north of Casteak Reservoir Casteak Lake

181
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:24.799
<v Speaker 2>and moving to the west, is.

182
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.440
<v Speaker 3>What they're saying right now. So we'll keep an eye

183
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:26.799
<v Speaker 3>on this.

184
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:32.360
<v Speaker 1>It has taken off. Evacuation warnings have been issued Bitter Canyon,

185
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:35.879
<v Speaker 1>Charlie Canyon, Castaic Lake as well.

186
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:40.639
<v Speaker 2>Just about every area immediately bordering Castaic Lake is now

187
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:45.240
<v Speaker 2>under an evacuation order, and that includes the area between

188
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:50.000
<v Speaker 2>the lake and I five, so the Martins Naylor Place area,

189
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.440
<v Speaker 2>and as you get closer down towards the dam and

190
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:57.519
<v Speaker 2>the Castake Lagoon. There is at least one elementary school

191
00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:00.000
<v Speaker 2>that is in that area, the North Lake Hills Elementary School,

192
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.639
<v Speaker 2>and there's a series of neighborhoods that are down there

193
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:07.120
<v Speaker 2>also that are likely going to be under evacuation orders.

194
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.279
<v Speaker 2>This smoke is clearly visible. If you're in the Santa

195
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Clarita Valley, you can see it. We've also gotten some

196
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:14.759
<v Speaker 2>calls from people who said they can see it as

197
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:18.879
<v Speaker 2>far away as the four or five one eighteen intersection

198
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:22.399
<v Speaker 2>on the of San Fernando Valley side of the hills.

199
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:27.519
<v Speaker 1>Rapid rate of spread. There are what's being described as

200
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.200
<v Speaker 1>heavy spotting. You know what that means, a number of

201
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:35.399
<v Speaker 1>spot fires aside from the major ignition point there. This

202
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:37.600
<v Speaker 1>thing has taken off. I mean it was fifty acres

203
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:38.639
<v Speaker 1>and then it was five hundred.

204
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:41.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, very very quick. We first got word of it

205
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:44.200
<v Speaker 2>just a short time ago. It was fifty to one hundred.

206
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:46.720
<v Speaker 2>It's gone up to five hundred plus. That number is

207
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:53.960
<v Speaker 2>going to likely it will likely expand pretty significantly. They

208
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.279
<v Speaker 2>said that the fire has reportedly spotted a cross castagg

209
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:00.480
<v Speaker 2>light to the west side of the l which is

210
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.240
<v Speaker 2>right near the Old Ridge Route road, will likely impact

211
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:06.919
<v Speaker 2>I five at some point. The smoke is clearly impacting

212
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:08.600
<v Speaker 2>I five, and you could see from some of the

213
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:14.279
<v Speaker 2>from the firewatch cameras it that it has covered. It's

214
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:17.360
<v Speaker 2>not down to the level of the freeway. So traffic

215
00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:19.879
<v Speaker 2>is still running right now on I five, but again,

216
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:25.320
<v Speaker 2>evacuation orders and warnings issued right around Castaic Lake. Everywhere

217
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:30.000
<v Speaker 2>immediately bordering the lake is currently under an evacuation order

218
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.240
<v Speaker 2>as of right now, and then several areas nearby are

219
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.600
<v Speaker 2>also under evacuation warnings. If you've gotten the alert, we've

220
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.320
<v Speaker 2>done this role. We've done this before, even people in

221
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:43.240
<v Speaker 2>that area have done this before. Where if you are

222
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:47.399
<v Speaker 2>under the evacuation warning, the expectation is that you're going

223
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:49.720
<v Speaker 2>to be packed and ready to go. You do not

224
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.320
<v Speaker 2>have to wait for that order. Now you feel like

225
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.480
<v Speaker 2>you need to get out, you can absolutely get out.

226
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:54.679
<v Speaker 5>Man.

227
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.320
<v Speaker 1>If I learned anything from these fires, it's just don't

228
00:11:58.360 --> 00:11:58.879
<v Speaker 1>even wait.

229
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:03.720
<v Speaker 2>They had requested originally four helicopters. That request was bumped

230
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:06.679
<v Speaker 2>by eight more, so they're expecting a lot of air

231
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.879
<v Speaker 2>fight on this I guess. One of the positives is

232
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:13.679
<v Speaker 2>that it's pretty close to Lancaster, which is where they

233
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:17.039
<v Speaker 2>do run a lot of the larger air tankers out of.

234
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:19.440
<v Speaker 3>It's a quick turnaround for them to get there and back.

235
00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Incident Command one minute ago requested evacuation orders from Lake

236
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Hughes Road to Templan Highway as well, so.

237
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:29.440
<v Speaker 3>That's up farther to the north r SB cast Dick.

238
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:34.000
<v Speaker 2>But again, this thing is pretty huge and is getting

239
00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:40.720
<v Speaker 2>quicker as rapidly expanding. You mentioned Incident command and the

240
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:44.440
<v Speaker 2>evacuation zones. There are a couple of different ways that

241
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.279
<v Speaker 2>you can follow along, and we've talked about them before.

242
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:49.200
<v Speaker 2>At the beginning of the fires, we talked about the

243
00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:53.879
<v Speaker 2>watch Duty app, which has been an invaluable resource not

244
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:55.960
<v Speaker 2>just for people who have been impacted by the fires,

245
00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:59.759
<v Speaker 2>but people looking for information about the fires. The other

246
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:02.200
<v Speaker 2>one is the Genesis app with an A, G, E,

247
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:06.120
<v Speaker 2>N A s YS Genesis that will help you figure

248
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:08.679
<v Speaker 2>out which evacuation zone you are in.

249
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:11.159
<v Speaker 3>I mean they're names.

250
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:17.000
<v Speaker 2>There's letters in the cas Bitter Canyon and Lace zero

251
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.399
<v Speaker 2>one six. I mean, it doesn't mean anything if I

252
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:21.480
<v Speaker 2>tell you that zone because very few people know what

253
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:24.440
<v Speaker 2>they're in. But you can find out very quickly which

254
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:29.159
<v Speaker 2>zone you're in. That will then alert you immediately if

255
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:31.679
<v Speaker 2>you're in a zone that needs to get out as

256
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:36.679
<v Speaker 2>quickly as possible. The Hughes Fire burning on Lake Hughes

257
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:40.399
<v Speaker 2>Road near Castaic Lake and is burning towards the west

258
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:43.440
<v Speaker 2>towards the lake again some reports that there may be

259
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:45.320
<v Speaker 2>some spotting on the west side of the lake.

260
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:45.799
<v Speaker 3>Already.

261
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.600
<v Speaker 2>There's some neighborhoods along the west side of Castaic Lake

262
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:53.440
<v Speaker 2>before it gets to I five and those places are

263
00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:56.679
<v Speaker 2>all under evacuation orders as of right now we.

264
00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Will stay on top of this fast moving fire. There.

265
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:03.799
<v Speaker 1>They're calling at the hues fire evacuations ordered, and this

266
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.080
<v Speaker 1>thing does not show any signs of slowing down anytime soon.

267
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:08.399
<v Speaker 1>We'll stay on top of it right here.

268
00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:10.440
<v Speaker 2>There were some other stories that were going on today,

269
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:13.720
<v Speaker 2>specifically one out of Nashville. A couple students were killed

270
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:17.039
<v Speaker 2>another student injured after a shooting inside a high school.

271
00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:20.080
<v Speaker 2>There in one of the suburbs of Nashville, a couple

272
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.240
<v Speaker 2>students shot by another in the cafeteria.

273
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:24.960
<v Speaker 1>It was a seventeen year old shooter that killed himself

274
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:30.000
<v Speaker 1>after shooting and killing a female student. Two others were

275
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.120
<v Speaker 1>injured there at Antioch High School. They're being treated at

276
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Vanderbilt University Medical Center. They say there were two school

277
00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:41.639
<v Speaker 1>resource officers in the building when the shooting happened, but

278
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:44.759
<v Speaker 1>they were not in the immediate vicinity of the cafeteria

279
00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:47.559
<v Speaker 1>where this all went down. By the time they got there,

280
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.039
<v Speaker 1>all the shooting had been stopped.

281
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:53.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm counting about a dozen fixed wing and as many

282
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:58.759
<v Speaker 2>as seven helicopters over This fire that is burning near

283
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.159
<v Speaker 2>Castaic Lake is a pretty large fire, somewhere between five

284
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:05.600
<v Speaker 2>hundred and one thousand acres have burned in what they're

285
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:10.120
<v Speaker 2>calling the Hughes Fire. Fire itself started near Lake Hughes Road,

286
00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:14.440
<v Speaker 2>which is just sorry, yeah, north and east of Castaic Lake.

287
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:20.919
<v Speaker 2>The evacuation order area is the entire lake itself, the

288
00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:24.200
<v Speaker 2>areas that immediately border the shoreline of the lake, and

289
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:26.759
<v Speaker 2>then an area just north of it as well that

290
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:30.240
<v Speaker 2>have been ordered evacuated. It goes basically from one side

291
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:32.799
<v Speaker 2>of Castaic Lake all the way to the west towards

292
00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:36.039
<v Speaker 2>I five under evacuation orders right now, those.

293
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:38.039
<v Speaker 1>Warnings are in place for like you were saying, a

294
00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:43.080
<v Speaker 1>circular area. Basically every place in the media vicinity of

295
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Castaic Lake under mandatory evacuation orders, so Sloane Canyon, Charlie Canyon,

296
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Bitter Canyon, stretching nearly to Samberg if you know, the

297
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:56.000
<v Speaker 1>area on the north and as far east as far

298
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:57.279
<v Speaker 1>east of Green Valley.

299
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:01.240
<v Speaker 2>So if you go up five and you get past

300
00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:04.159
<v Speaker 2>sort of where the Hungry Valley off road area is.

301
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:06.799
<v Speaker 2>One thirty eight is the road that splits off to

302
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:10.399
<v Speaker 2>the east and goes out towards Lancaster, et cetera. The

303
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:13.440
<v Speaker 2>evacuation orders don't go all the way that far, but

304
00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:15.879
<v Speaker 2>the warnings do go up to the one thirty eight,

305
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.840
<v Speaker 2>So this whole thing, the expectation is that it's going

306
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:20.799
<v Speaker 2>to get much larger before they have a chance to

307
00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:24.279
<v Speaker 2>put this thing under control. The fire, the smoke itself.

308
00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:27.360
<v Speaker 2>We've been getting calls from people who have seen it

309
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:30.960
<v Speaker 2>way out the one twenty six. There's a couple shots

310
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:34.840
<v Speaker 2>on social media on Twitter already of buildings in downtown

311
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:37.559
<v Speaker 2>LA that they can see the smoke plume from this fire.

312
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:40.799
<v Speaker 2>It's that large, which on the one hand, is an

313
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:43.480
<v Speaker 2>indicator of how big the fire is, but on the

314
00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:47.480
<v Speaker 2>other it means perhaps that the wind is not as

315
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:48.519
<v Speaker 2>dangerous as it could be.

316
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:49.639
<v Speaker 3>Still blowing.

317
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:53.720
<v Speaker 2>We're still under our red flag warning obviously, but compare

318
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:56.120
<v Speaker 2>that to what we saw in the Palisades fire when

319
00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:58.960
<v Speaker 2>it started. That fire didn't rise very high because the

320
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:01.320
<v Speaker 2>wind was blowing its so quickly. Once it would get

321
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:02.440
<v Speaker 2>into the into the sky.

322
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:06.359
<v Speaker 1>This thing went from fifty acres to five hundred like that.

323
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:10.240
<v Speaker 1>It's got quite the rum way, a lot of area

324
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:12.200
<v Speaker 1>to chow through there for this fire.

325
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:13.559
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, like you.

326
00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Said, the winds are not what we saw. Just a

327
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:18.119
<v Speaker 1>lot of fuel up there as well.

328
00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:20.759
<v Speaker 3>To give you an idea. Again.

329
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:24.960
<v Speaker 2>The evacuation orders are all around Castac Lake if you

330
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:28.880
<v Speaker 2>are anywhere close to the lake itself. Those neighborhoods that

331
00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:32.920
<v Speaker 2>are kind of wedged between I five and the Castak

332
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:36.559
<v Speaker 2>Lagoon just below the dam, those are all under evacuation

333
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:40.319
<v Speaker 2>orders as of right now. Several businesses that are right

334
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:44.720
<v Speaker 2>there Alongstak Castak Road, the Old Ridge Route as it

335
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:47.359
<v Speaker 2>winds its way through Castak before going up the hill,

336
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:50.519
<v Speaker 2>all of those areas under evacuation order right now.

337
00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:53.359
<v Speaker 1>You see some DC tens up there, which is nice

338
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:56.240
<v Speaker 1>to see. You've also got a lot of lower flying

339
00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:59.279
<v Speaker 1>aircraft dropping water on this as well that you're not

340
00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:01.519
<v Speaker 1>going to see from the overhead pictures.

341
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:04.559
<v Speaker 2>The winds in the area right now, they said current

342
00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:08.519
<v Speaker 2>wind gusts right around thirty miles an hour in Castak Junction,

343
00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:12.279
<v Speaker 2>but also in the Santa Clarita, the Greater Santa Clarita area.

344
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:16.400
<v Speaker 2>So they have not yet said that they are going

345
00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:20.119
<v Speaker 2>to be closing I five, but it is going to

346
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:24.400
<v Speaker 2>be impacted clearly by the smoke from this fire. They

347
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:30.480
<v Speaker 2>just also expanded the evacuation warning areas to the west side.

348
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:31.039
<v Speaker 3>Of I five.

349
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I see Gorman Well five Golden State. Gorman area

350
00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:44.240
<v Speaker 1>has been issued a warning there. They're now saying that

351
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:48.079
<v Speaker 1>this thing is estimated about one thousand acres. So this

352
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:49.279
<v Speaker 1>is how quick it's moving.

353
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:50.359
<v Speaker 3>Hughes Fire.

354
00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:54.680
<v Speaker 2>It's burning in Castaic Lake area along Lake Hughes Road,

355
00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:57.839
<v Speaker 2>which goes from Castak up over the hill towards Lancaster.

356
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:01.440
<v Speaker 2>About halfway up that road is where this fire is

357
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:03.960
<v Speaker 2>believed to have started more than an hour ago. The

358
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:09.400
<v Speaker 2>evacuation orders exist around the entire lake of Castaic Lake

359
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:12.599
<v Speaker 2>and then an outer perimeter there of evacuation warning. So

360
00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:15.599
<v Speaker 2>basically from where this fire started on the east side

361
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.680
<v Speaker 2>of Castaic Lake all the way over to I five,

362
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:21.039
<v Speaker 2>even if you're on the west side of I five,

363
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:23.400
<v Speaker 2>you're currently under an evacuation warning.

364
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it would make sense since they were worried about

365
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:33.039
<v Speaker 1>that Sandberg area right there in the Lake Hughes templan

366
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Highway portion right there north of Castaic Lake, it would

367
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:39.799
<v Speaker 1>make sense that Gorman would be under a warning. I

368
00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:42.079
<v Speaker 1>mean that's pretty close to the I five right there,

369
00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Samberg area, it's close.

370
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:46.079
<v Speaker 2>Enough, and there's one thirty eight nothing there to slow

371
00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:50.000
<v Speaker 2>it down, right, So from Castaic Lake all the way

372
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:54.200
<v Speaker 2>to Pyramid Lake, our evacuation orders or warnings. Lake Hughes

373
00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:56.599
<v Speaker 2>Road itself is closed in both directions. Hey, if you're

374
00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:57.920
<v Speaker 2>up there, give us a shout.

375
00:19:58.039 --> 00:19:58.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, let us know.

376
00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:00.880
<v Speaker 2>In fact, if you can see this, why not give

377
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:03.119
<v Speaker 2>us a call at eight hundred five two zero one

378
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.000
<v Speaker 2>five three four eight hundred five to two oh one KFI.

379
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Keeping an eye on the Hughes fire burning near Casteak Lake,

380
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:14.920
<v Speaker 2>north of the Casteak Reservoir. That's their evacuation orders and

381
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:18.920
<v Speaker 2>warnings have been issued again. We have advised many times

382
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:22.319
<v Speaker 2>to download that watch Duty app let let you know

383
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:24.559
<v Speaker 2>if you are in one of those evacuation warning or

384
00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:29.480
<v Speaker 2>order areas, or even the Genesis app g e NA SYS,

385
00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:32.359
<v Speaker 2>because those are two great apps that will keep you updated.

386
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:35.000
<v Speaker 2>We are keeping an eye on the Hughes fire. This

387
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:37.680
<v Speaker 2>is burning up in the Casteak Lake area. And as

388
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:42.319
<v Speaker 2>we mentioned, the evacuation orders have expanded once again. And

389
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:46.880
<v Speaker 2>this is significant because the new evacuation orders are for

390
00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:50.599
<v Speaker 2>the west side of I five along the Parker Road

391
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:53.400
<v Speaker 2>area Sloane Canyon Road. That's going to include a couple

392
00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:58.240
<v Speaker 2>of schools, including Casteak High School. Also along the Hillcrest Parkway.

393
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:00.759
<v Speaker 2>If you know all those neighborhoods that are there just

394
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:04.240
<v Speaker 2>off of I five and the Old Road, the Cambridge area,

395
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:08.480
<v Speaker 2>in the Hasley Canyon Road area. That's a few thousand

396
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:12.200
<v Speaker 2>people probably that that effects. So again, the evacuation orders

397
00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:16.680
<v Speaker 2>because of this fire near Castagg Lake have expanded to

398
00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:20.920
<v Speaker 2>the west side of I five. We've seen a bunch

399
00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:23.720
<v Speaker 2>of people say that they can see the fire itself.

400
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:27.440
<v Speaker 3>In fact, Matt is in Santa Clarita. He joins us. Now, Matt,

401
00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:28.200
<v Speaker 3>what do you see?

402
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:35.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I see the mainly the planning front burning towards

403
00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:39.240
<v Speaker 5>probably like northeast. I would say, you can see four

404
00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:45.680
<v Speaker 5>six wing aircraft making Pauschek drops. Now, winds blowing mainly

405
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:47.359
<v Speaker 5>to the west southwest.

406
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:50.519
<v Speaker 2>Do you get the idea that that's the direction the

407
00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:52.880
<v Speaker 2>fire itself is going is to the west.

408
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:56.640
<v Speaker 5>No, I think it's burning more towards the northeast. The

409
00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:58.319
<v Speaker 5>winds are blowing the smoke.

410
00:21:58.559 --> 00:21:59.839
<v Speaker 6>To the south.

411
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.680
<v Speaker 5>US They've shifted a little bit, you know, over the

412
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:07.759
<v Speaker 5>past ten or fifteen minutes, but predominantly they're going southwest.

413
00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:12.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, all right, yeah, go ahead.

414
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:17.240
<v Speaker 5>No, I'm saying that the flames, just the flaming front

415
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:19.960
<v Speaker 5>seems to be moving more towards the northeast, and I

416
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:23.759
<v Speaker 5>count for fixed wing aircraft they can flash check drops

417
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:26.920
<v Speaker 5>right now on the flaming front. I can see flames

418
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:33.720
<v Speaker 5>from where I am, but the firefighters seem to be

419
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:36.200
<v Speaker 5>getting a pretty good hold hold on it. I mean,

420
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:38.799
<v Speaker 5>I'm not a firefighter, but I can I can see

421
00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:39.759
<v Speaker 5>progress being made.

422
00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:42.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they were quick to jump on that air attack

423
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:47.319
<v Speaker 1>there with several different of the smaller firefighting aircraft of

424
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:52.599
<v Speaker 1>flying lower to the ground there. The spot fires, while problematic,

425
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:55.359
<v Speaker 1>are not as problematic as when we saw the spot

426
00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:58.119
<v Speaker 1>at least at this point when we saw the spot

427
00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:01.079
<v Speaker 1>fires and the palisades, because every spot fire you saw

428
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:03.240
<v Speaker 1>when you're not in wild land is I don't know,

429
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:08.039
<v Speaker 1>a neighborhood, and so this is definitely steep and rocky

430
00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:11.039
<v Speaker 1>terrain they're dealing with. But for right now they've been

431
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:15.000
<v Speaker 1>able to contain this thing to that wild land area

432
00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:18.519
<v Speaker 1>as they fight this thing from the sky. But yeah,

433
00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:22.480
<v Speaker 1>five hundred acres presently they say, some estimates are up

434
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:25.559
<v Speaker 1>to one thousand. No containment obviously whatsoever. And they do

435
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:29.000
<v Speaker 1>have the big DC tens out there spreading that retardant

436
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:31.160
<v Speaker 1>trying to stop the spread of what seems to be

437
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:34.519
<v Speaker 1>a fire that just took off with a vengeance.

438
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Eight hundred five to zero one five three four. Eric

439
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:40.720
<v Speaker 2>is in Santa Clarita as well. Eric, What do you

440
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:41.359
<v Speaker 2>have going on?

441
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:45.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we just pushed out from work where up by

442
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:51.200
<v Speaker 4>the one twenty six and Commerce Center Drive or what

443
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:55.799
<v Speaker 4>twenty sixth and Commerce Center Drive we left. The smoke

444
00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:59.400
<v Speaker 4>was starting to head towards our building. So it's coming

445
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:03.680
<v Speaker 4>towards coming towards the one twenty sixth a little bit.

446
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:06.880
<v Speaker 4>The smoke was really bad. I saw the smoke started

447
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:09.799
<v Speaker 4>the change directing a little bit and exactly what map

448
00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:12.119
<v Speaker 4>that I see the DC tents pulling off right now.

449
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:16.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm headed into I'm headed into San Franciscito right now.

450
00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:19.960
<v Speaker 4>It looks like it's still open. Some lust for that, Yeah,

451
00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:22.759
<v Speaker 4>but there is a lot of white smoke to the

452
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:25.839
<v Speaker 4>other side, and so the that's right, they're attacking it

453
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:28.160
<v Speaker 4>really really well, a lot of white.

454
00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:32.799
<v Speaker 3>Smoke on that side that San Franciscito the other direction, yeap, Eric.

455
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:35.480
<v Speaker 2>That San Franciscito that you're talking about it but does

456
00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:38.960
<v Speaker 2>border one of the evacuation warning areas. As you get

457
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:41.960
<v Speaker 2>deeper up into the Bitter Canyon area out towards the

458
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:46.720
<v Speaker 2>old Saint Francis Dam, so just be aware of that. Again,

459
00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:51.680
<v Speaker 2>the evacuation orders have expanded to the west side of

460
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:55.680
<v Speaker 2>I five, So if you are if you're along that's

461
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:00.279
<v Speaker 2>Sloan Canyon Road or the Hillcrest Drive. Chance this is

462
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:03.559
<v Speaker 2>our Hillcrest Parkway. I should say you are likely in

463
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:08.079
<v Speaker 2>an evacuation order area. There's an elementary school and a

464
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:12.200
<v Speaker 2>middle school, Castak Elementary, Castaic Middle School, Castaic High School

465
00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:16.720
<v Speaker 2>are all under those evacuation order areas. So those kids,

466
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:19.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean, listen, teachers, administrators, they know what they're doing

467
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:22.559
<v Speaker 2>because they have They've lived in fire country for a while.

468
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:25.680
<v Speaker 2>I do believe this is the first evacuation that Castaic

469
00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:28.759
<v Speaker 2>High School has headed, because it's a newer multiple.

470
00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:31.359
<v Speaker 1>Schools right now as we speak, being evacuated. As you

471
00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:33.160
<v Speaker 1>mentioned with those latest orders.

472
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Candy is calling from Valencia. Candy, what do you see?

473
00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:42.480
<v Speaker 5>Well, I was at the pharmacy. Valencia is also on

474
00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:45.319
<v Speaker 5>fire and nobody I can't find any reports. I'm in

475
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:47.039
<v Speaker 5>my car driving to work, but.

476
00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:49.279
<v Speaker 4>It's all black. To sack is not black.

477
00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:55.000
<v Speaker 5>It's white smoke. But it's supposed to be by Valencia

478
00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:55.599
<v Speaker 5>High School.

479
00:25:57.519 --> 00:25:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Are you saying there is a fire near Valencia High School?

480
00:26:01.519 --> 00:26:03.039
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and it's all black.

481
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:07.200
<v Speaker 2>I think you may be seeing what we're talking about,

482
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:08.519
<v Speaker 2>this Hues fire.

483
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:14.079
<v Speaker 1>There is no fire near Valencia right now. There's definitely

484
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:19.839
<v Speaker 1>a black sky near Valencia Industrial Center there, but yeah, no,

485
00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:22.359
<v Speaker 1>this is the active fire that we're dealing with. The

486
00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Hues fire there north and moving towards the east. It

487
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:30.680
<v Speaker 1>seems like of Castaic Lake. There several different communities along

488
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:35.079
<v Speaker 1>Eye five under warnings or mandatory evacuation orders as well.

489
00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:40.119
<v Speaker 1>They've got strike teams in these rural neighborhoods there. They

490
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:43.519
<v Speaker 1>were quick to order at least ten strike teams, ten

491
00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:48.039
<v Speaker 1>task force units, a dozen of those water tenders that

492
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:49.920
<v Speaker 1>you're probably not going to see if you're watching aerial

493
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:53.079
<v Speaker 1>coverage because the smoke is so thick and so high

494
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.079
<v Speaker 1>up in the air and these fly relatively low to

495
00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:58.599
<v Speaker 1>the ground. The water tenders, they are there, they are

496
00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:00.839
<v Speaker 1>on the scene. They were ordered more than an hour ago.

497
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:04.039
<v Speaker 1>You will see the DC tens, however, that keep a

498
00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:08.440
<v Speaker 1>higher elevation as they try to blanket the unburned areas

499
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:11.319
<v Speaker 1>with retardant to kind of force this thing back onto itself.

500
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Antonio is calling from Santa Clarita. Antonio, what do you see?

501
00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:18.319
<v Speaker 6>Uh? Yeah, I was coming into work and I gotta

502
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:21.559
<v Speaker 6>get off of McBean, like two exits before Magic Mountain

503
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:25.000
<v Speaker 6>and there's the hills like maybe half an hour a

504
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:29.079
<v Speaker 6>mile if that. They're starting to small puckets of fires

505
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:31.400
<v Speaker 6>or white smoke that I don't know if it's part

506
00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:33.720
<v Speaker 6>of the bigger I could see the bigger fire beyond

507
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:36.720
<v Speaker 6>the ridge, but there's a it's definitely coming this way.

508
00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:39.880
<v Speaker 6>The wind is blowing up McBean towards the I five,

509
00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:43.640
<v Speaker 6>so it's bringing the smoke kind of this way towards

510
00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:46.079
<v Speaker 6>Santa Clarita area. So I don't know if the fire

511
00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:49.440
<v Speaker 6>is traveling this way or that. It's like I would

512
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:52.319
<v Speaker 6>say half a mile if that from the Henry Mell Hospital.

513
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:55.359
<v Speaker 3>Awesome, all right, Antonio, thanks for your report.

514
00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Awesome.

515
00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:59.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, well, I don't know how you even

516
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:03.960
<v Speaker 2>they have He mentioned one of the guys mentioned that

517
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:07.000
<v Speaker 2>he was at that industrial center that is along the

518
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:10.440
<v Speaker 2>one twenty six and I five and that is now

519
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:14.599
<v Speaker 2>under an evacuation warning, as is that whole Live Oak

520
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:17.880
<v Speaker 2>area of Valverde that's deeper into the Canyon there on

521
00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:20.720
<v Speaker 2>the west side. All of those areas now under evacuation

522
00:28:20.920 --> 00:28:22.240
<v Speaker 2>warnings or orders.

523
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:27.000
<v Speaker 1>There is from the National Weather Service a high wind

524
00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:32.000
<v Speaker 1>warning for the Santa Clarita Valley in effect from two

525
00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:36.039
<v Speaker 1>this afternoon to ten pm this evening. They say a

526
00:28:36.119 --> 00:28:39.079
<v Speaker 1>high wind warning in effect from ten this evening to

527
00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:43.799
<v Speaker 1>two pm tomorrow. They say northeast winds and that's what

528
00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:47.759
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing right fifteen to thirty miles per hour with

529
00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:51.319
<v Speaker 1>GUS of forty five this evening GUS to fifty five

530
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:55.440
<v Speaker 1>for the high wind warning. After ten northeast winds thirty

531
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:58.319
<v Speaker 1>five to fifty miles per hour GUS to sixty five. Again,

532
00:28:58.359 --> 00:29:01.319
<v Speaker 1>this is for the Santa Clarida Valley and western Santa

533
00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:02.799
<v Speaker 1>Monica Mountains wreck area.

534
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:05.599
<v Speaker 2>As of right now, it still appears that I five,

535
00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:10.759
<v Speaker 2>both directions through Castaic and points north, are open, but

536
00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:14.039
<v Speaker 2>that could change because on both sides of the freeway

537
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:17.039
<v Speaker 2>right there in Castaic, especially right at the Parker Road exit,

538
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:22.319
<v Speaker 2>both sides of I five are under evacuation orders at Castaic,

539
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Parker Road, Lake Hughes Road. And again, I don't know

540
00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:28.960
<v Speaker 2>how long I five is going to be open, but

541
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:32.759
<v Speaker 2>as of right now, it is open, so we will

542
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:35.319
<v Speaker 2>keep an eye on this again. The Hughes fire burning

543
00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:38.880
<v Speaker 2>up in the Castake Lake area. Several areas and several

544
00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:43.240
<v Speaker 2>hundred homes and a few schools under evacuation orders.

545
00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Bridge Route Road now looks like it has spread to

546
00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:49.200
<v Speaker 1>the west side of Ridge Route Road. This is definitely

547
00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:51.160
<v Speaker 1>a fire to be concerned about, and we will stay

548
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:52.799
<v Speaker 1>on top of it bring you all the latest as

549
