Are there lists going around yet of grassroots organizations on the ground in Los Angeles that are taking donations to help people affected by the fires? (Not the big orgs that take all the money for overhead.)

Another presser. It's the law's turn:

20 people have been arrested for looting. The PD is not pleased. After the supervisor (don't know her name) finishes snarling, the Sheriff will be up next.

Sheriff praises supervisor. National Guard support requested for Palisades and Eaton fires. It's a county request, but they are working in coordination with LAPD. Praises Gov. Newsom, "who has been on the phone constantly with us."

Death toll per the fire - the number for that and looters is in flux. We're operating in a very fluid environment. We'd like to give you a number. To you, it's a number. To us, we have to contact family members. Confirmed, by death, numbers will change as we get into the damaged areas. Homicide will do the death investigations once they can get in there. Our team has been working on a curfew around the 2 fire areas, Palisades and Eaton. We'd like to implement it tonight. If not, tomorrow night. 6PM to 6AM. "That will be the goal. We will be enforcing that." They say the NG presence will help deter looters, "so we don't continually victimize people who have had to leave their homes." The majority of people they've had to rescue from cars and houses were people who refused to adhere to mandatory evacuations. Please leave when you're told to go. If you have questions, please visit lacounty.gov. I missed the /whatever part.

There will be a house-by-house search for bodies.

13,690+ acres to the Eaton Fire, which has grown because it went up Mt. Wilson.

A firefighter who fell is in stable condition and expected to make a full recovery.

4-5000 structures determined to be destroyed. This morning they reported 1000. [I think he means just the Eaton Fire.] The fire remains under investigation. Because the cause of the fire is unknown at this time, if it turns out to be an arson fire, the deaths are homicides. Which is why the Sheriff and law enforcement will be involved in body searches.

Fixed-wing aircraft and helicopter support is still hit-and-miss. They get up in the air, and the winds can get too high to proceed.

Arcadia fire chief praises the help. Misstated their URL. IT IS NOT A BACKSLASH! I think it's www.arcadia.gov/2025fire but who knows? And is anything capitalized? Get a geeky nerd to read website URLs, please.

Judy Chu just had a tour of Altadena and Pasadena talks about business and homes that are gone. Appreciates first responders. Speaks of Biden's help - speaks of being already reimbursed for 75% of costs of recovery, and appreciates POTUS raising it to 100% for the next 180 days. FEMA administrator will be at the site of the Eaton fire later. "Help is on the way, and I know that we will get through this."

Pasadena mayor is up - says they consider Altadena part of the city of Pasadena. Praises many civilian responders. Mentions the curfew briefly. Asking if you are under mandatory evacuation orders, stay out of those areas until you hear officially that the orders have been lifted.

The speakers are finished. Now the reporters are up. ABC7 asks about the curfew. "There is definitely going to be an impact to residents." Asking police and NG to be sensitive to needs. Will try to minimize impact, but will maximize security. [Translation: They are cops and NG. Try to be patient with them.]

"Are President Biden's orders going to be undone after January 20th?" The answer was that they could be, and that Trump shouldn't.

KCAL9 just cut off the presser.

"#Biden, #Trump and #Newsom's response shows it's all about them" -#KenKlippenstein

"They got a notification yesterday that their home is probably burned to the ground,” President Biden said of the #LosAngeles wildfires before this whiplash-inducing change of subject: “But the good news is I’m a great-grandfather as of today.” ... — ... Sorry you lost your home but hey I’m a great granddad, isn’t that something?"

“Some of the themes emerging are consistent: every #wildfire is accused of not being a wildfire at all but a planned attack for some sinister end. This serves two purposes: casting doubt on #climatechange & finding a politically useful target to pin a disaster on.”

Yesterday we evacuated my future mother-in-law from her home. The smoke was so thick from the #eatonfire and #palisadesfire that I could still smell it through my N95 (granted, my facial hair may have prevented a perfect seal).

If you have been affected by any #lafire, including these two, the #hurstfire, #sunsetfire, etc. please, for your health, wear a mask/respirator when you step outside.

#maskup #losangeles

With the #LosAngeles fires happening as a direct result of #Capitalism intensifying the #ClimateCrisis, the #GreenParty has made a 101 on how a #GreenNewDeal from a #Ecosocialist direction would help end this all through transforming everything to Public Ownership & Planning in all sectors!

"If the #PalisadesFire has destroyed at least 2,000 structures, as Crowley is saying it has, it is no longer just the most destructive fire in Los Angeles history. It is now among the top five most destructive fires ever to ravage #California."

Pasadena Humane needs some support:

"UPDATE as of 6:30 pm, January 8: We have taken in over 300 animals due to evacuations and have staff and volunteers working nonstop to help with their care. We are starting to see many animals coming in with burns and injuries. These animals are being treated in our ICU."

I forget the exact quote, but someone once posted, "Climate Change will be experienced as a series of distant natural disasters that you watch on your phone getting closer and closer until you're the one filming it."

Some of my friends are evacuating now. I feel so distraught and helpless watching from the other coast. Places I know and love are being completely reduced to ash. It looks like everything on PCH is gone. I'm heartsick.

If you are in an evacuation zone PLEASE grab your loved ones and pets and get the hell outta there.

🔥🔥🔥 BREAKING 🔥🔥🔥

OMG the photojournalism here will floor you. Tonight is expected to be worse. These #LosAngeles fires are beyond comprehension. Heart breaking. Devastating.

“We looked across and the fire had jumped from one side of the road to the other side of the road... People were getting out of the cars with their dogs and babies and bags, they were crying and screaming. The road was just blocked, like full-on blocked for an hour.”

I have been trying to keep up with what's going on in Los Angeles County. It's absolutely wild to me that this kind of severe fire event is happening in January. That never happened when I was growing up. The scenes I am seeing in my feeds are heartbreaking.

Aloha from Maui.
