Armstrong and Getty.

And now here's Armstrong and Getty. We have fires. Almost 360 around us here are different properties just on fire for hours.

These winds definitely from when we first came here have picked up a lot. It seems like this has been burning, just I think, I believe, since last night.

And so firefighters trying to do their absolute best.

But as far as a reporter's perspective out here, while we are safe and we do have protective gear,

it is very difficult, very smoky out here, a lot of ash.

You know, we have protective gear to cover our eyes and our mouth,

but it is just impossible to be out here if you do not have protective gear.

That makes it tough.

30,000 people evacuated their homes so far in the L.A. area, starting yesterday morning

and going all throughout the day and the night and expecting

the 100 mile an hour winds to continue throughout the day.

It says there on Fox as I look at the TV screen with some giant mansion burning behind

the guy.

I mean, an enormous house that looks to be burning to the ground.

That's quite a deal.

Yeah, I don't know where Fox is getting that number.

The winds are very high, and there are some extraordinary gusts.

Anyway.

Joe, downplaying the threat of the fire in L.A.
