Good evening. We are coming to you tonight from Altadena at the corner of West Harriet and Glen Avenue.

There is destruction from the Eden Fire everywhere you turn at this intersection and in many places in Altadena.

We broadcast from this spot six days ago. We spent about six to eight hours, give or take, walking up and down

these streets around this intersection, doing live reports as you're seeing, and this program

as well. We documented this neighborhood being destroyed. There were explosions. There were burning

cars, that car right behind me. The trees were burning, embers flying everywhere,

spreading from house to house, tree to tree. The winds were high, which were also keeping

fighting aircraft grounded, firefighting aircraft grounded. On this block, just up the block,

talked to a captain of the fire department, two minutes after the hydrant stopped working for that

team. Tonight, thankfully, neither the Eden fire nor the Palisades fire is behaving that way now. You

won't see flames in the Palisades or Eden. We drove around in the Eden area today. Firefighters are

still searching the ground, as we showed you last night in the program, in the Palisades,

and even in some places, in Eden, for those hidden hotspots under the ground. That's where the work is

right now in the mountains, smoldering vegetation under the ground that if exposed, could become

flaming embers, picked up by wind, which would then create new fires elsewhere. Now, the wind today,

thankfully, has been somewhat lighter

than forecast than expected. Those extreme red flag fire warnings that we talked about last night,

they are still in force. You can see them there, the purple on the map. The wind is still a serious

threat, say forecasters, who now expect the worst of it to be in the early morning, tomorrow morning,

3 a.m. and on into the day.

Fire officials are warning that new evacuations could be ordered at any time. Two new fires did crop up today, one in Riverside to the east, another in Oxnard, both of them small, but a sign of

just how vulnerable this area still is.
