#EatonFire | Incident Update 1.12.25 AM

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

ICYMI: Yesterday, @CAGovernor Newsom announced California’s historic deployment of resources to Southern California is being augmented with even more support.

This comes in anticipation of another round of severe fire weather expected starting Monday through Wednesday.

These assets will join the ongoing firefight and preposition at strategic locations throughout Southern California to be ready for any new fire starts.

Total personnel & equipment:
🧑‍🚒14,000 personnel (1,680 @TheCalGuard)
🚒1,700+ fire engines, water tenders, aircraft and bulldozers now in place or on the way.

#SantaAnaWind combined with dry air and very dry vegetation will maintain high WILDFIRE RISK through Wednesday.

Continue to practice fire safety by avoiding work that creates sparks, report any smoke, and stay informed. Gather items you will need, should you be evacuated. #CAwx

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

To our heroic first responders who have been fighting these fires in Los Angeles since Day One: Thank you.

Thank you for putting your lives on the line to protect communities across Southern California and embodying the spirit of this state.

Thank you for keeping us strong.

[CAL FIRE @CAL_FIRE]

CAL FIRE extends our heartfelt gratitude to the extraordinary departments, states, and countries that have stepped up to support California in this time of need. Whether by land, air, or sea, your dedication and effort have been invaluable.
To all our neighbors and partners across the nation - INCLUDING Arizona - thank you for standing with us. Together, we are stronger.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

California has built up an aerial firefighting fleet that is second to none.

We're making sure that first responders battling the Los Angeles wildfires are equipped with all they need to help suppress the blazes and save Californians.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Incredible to see the heroism of these firefighting pilots putting out massive blazes from the air.

California is the first state with C-130s fighting fires — and home to the largest firefighting aviation unit in the world.

This is not true.

[Watch Duty @watchdutyapp]

Our systems remain 100% operational while our radio operators sleep in shifts and our engineers are throwing everything they have at it to sustain up to 100,000 requests per second with an average response time of <20 ms. We’ll be up all night with you, Angelinos. 🫡

When we say “Watch Duty is built for first responders”, that’s not marketing. That’s our mission and a promise.

Thursday, January 9, 2025, 5:37 PM PDT: Next week is another Santa Ana. Currently tonight another Santa Ana high wind warning in the traditional areas below the passes in canyons. But now there’s a new fire in West Hills called the Kenneth fire that is starting to accelerate due to some wind in the area. There are currently evacuations on the way. #CAwx #SantaAnawinds #LaNina

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

I'm at Hollywood Hills this morning, where our extraordinary firefighters and first responders suppressed the #SunsetFire last night within a 50-acre footprint.

With more favorable overnight winds, firefighting aircraft were able to safely fly and help put out this blaze.

[Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA]

A Mandatory Evacuation Order is in place for the #KennethFire in West Hills.

Residents are in immediate evacuation order within the boundaries of:

📍Vanowen south to Burbank Blvd.
📍County Lane Road east to
📍E Valley Circle Blvd.

[CityofBeverlyHills @CityofBevHills]

The Los Angeles County Fire Department just issued an evacuation warning countywide. This alert is for the West Hills fire area only - please disregard in Beverly Hills.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

As a result of the call between @POTUS and @CAGovernor Newsom, the President just committed to covering 100% of the fire management and debris removal costs for the next 180 days.

That’s a game-changer.

Thank you @POTUS Biden and @VP Harris.

#KennethFire Someone messed up and sent a evacuation warning to the whole La County

[VCscanner @VCscanner]

#KennethFire: Possible spot fire across the 101. This fire is moving extremely fast, get out of the way if you are in front of it.
