00:00Life-threatening and destructive and widespread winds are already here.
00:16For this significant wind event, we are taking an aggressive, lean-forward posture, and the
00:21LEFD has staffed all available resources strategically placing fire patrols and engines in the unimpacted
00:29high-fire risk areas in the city.
00:45Severe fire weather conditions will continue through tomorrow.
00:50The worst winds are predicted today for the late afternoon and into Wednesday.
00:58Please be assured that the Los Angeles County region is prepared.
01:03The anticipated winds, combined with low humidities and low fuel moistures, will keep the fire
01:11threat in the LA region critical.
01:23When we're giving you warnings, that's a time you should probably think about going.
01:27Actually, we recommend you go.
01:29Don't wait until the order is given.
01:31We don't want you to impact your own life or the life of your loved ones.
01:53Evacuation orders, we have approximately 88,000 residents that are still under evacuation
01:59orders, and regarding evacuation warnings, we have approximately 84,800 residents that
02:06continue to be under warnings.
02:09There is a decrease in these numbers, but as our fire partners have stated, it is still
02:15very dangerous for the next 24 hours.
