World Central Kitchen is on scene at the #EatonFire, doing what they do best. They also reached out to those staffing the temp animal shelters. They are the best.

Additionally, per LA City Emergency Management Department: A wireless emergency alert to evacuate was sent in ERROR to all of LA County.

As enormous scope of the damage from #PalisadeFire & #EatonFire becomes clearer, I wanted to share this imagery depicting fire footprints (from 1/8) & potentially affected structures within them (provided by my colleague David Marvin @ Planet Labs). [Image below] #LAfires #CAfire

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.

Gratitude often saves me. #3goodthings (and some bonus) about yesterday, 2025/01/08, it being day two of #lafire:

- We haven't had any evacuation warnings regarding the #eatonfire.
- My kitty cat makes me laugh and always lightens the mood.
- We've got two air purifiers that we can use during these fires.
- I haven't lost my home or my belongings.
- I played guitar for my partner and mother-in-law and found my parlor guitar sounds just beautiful in open G.

Summit of Mt. Wilson being threatened. View from Alert California cam on Pine mountain. I don't know what the threat is to #MtWilsonObservatory, but I did see some frames from Wilson itself of flames reaching the broadcast towers. This was shot from several miles away and there is a lot of foreshortening. #EatonFire

There are people who use trash bins, buckets, and a wheelbarrow, to fight fire outbreaks. Heroes.

BTW, this group appeared to all be Latino/Latina fighting for their neighborhood. All of their neighborhood. Acting as Jesus urged us. Loving our neighbors as ourselves.

Don't let bigots get a word in edgewise. Billionaires built the climate. Billionaires own the mass media. Billionaires bought the parties. Billionaires make the politicians do their bidding. They did this to us.

Mt.Wilson update by Mount Wilson Observatory; "... As you may have seen on the news, the #Eatonfire is approaching Mount Wilson. There are firefighters on the grounds but the power is out at the Observatory so communication is limited. We are monitoring the situation and will update here as we can. Thank you for your concern."

Paris Hilton is amongst the celebrity 'super-emitters' on Place 2

In 2017 she flew 171,346 miles by various private jets.
Emitting more than 1,260 tons of CO2 in the process.

In 2018 she tweeted to her 17.1million followers: 'This is earth. It's hot. Don't pollute.'

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.

The fire remains an estimated 10,600 acres and growth has been significantly stopped, per this morning's press conference. It is 0% contained. Over 879 firefighting personnel are assigned and mutual aid resources continue to arrive to assist.

https://share.watchduty.org/i/40388?ts=1736440645000

Looks like evacuation orders have been lifted for the #SunsetFire and the #SunsweptFire was contained. No new threats here this morning. Some of the smoke we were getting from #EatonFire seemed to have thinned out when I was outside at dawn.

Thankfully the wind has died down, as well. So, maybe the crews can start getting control of some of the larger fires.

No further damage here. So, I'll be back at work and later we'll try to sort out getting someone out to do real repairs on things.

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.
