SURE
SURE THAT
SURE THAT THEY LEAVE. YOU KNOW, POLICE OFFICERS FIREFIGHTERS NEED TO ACCESS THESE ROADS AND
KENNY, IF YOU CAN STILL HEAR ME
THERE. WE'RE LOOKING AT YOUR
LIVE SHOT NOW SO THIS LOOKS TO
BE A VERY BUSY RESIDENTIAL SPOT
.DOES IT LOOK LIKE PEOPLE ARE
LEAVING THEIR NO. AND I WANT TO
BRING YOU THIS OTHER SHOT OF
HERE. THIS IS ACROSS THE
STREET. THIS IS WHAT I WAS
TALKING ABOUT AND I WAS THERE
WE'RE GOING TO DROP. BUT LOOK,
YOU'RE GOING TO COME BACK TO
THAT ONE PALM TREE OR RESIDENTS
THAT'S ON FIRE RIGHT NOW. AND I
WAS THINKING THEY WERE GOING TO
DROP ACROSS THE STREET AGAIN
BECAUSE THERE IS ACTIVITY GOING
OVER THERE. SO LET'S SEE WHERE
HE GOES. PRETTY SURE IT'S GOING
TO BE THAT SAME SPOT BEFORE HE
DID NOT DROP IT. LET ME BRING
YOU BACK DOWN TO IT. AND IT'S A
VERY HEAVY BLACK SMOKE HERE NOW
AS YOU CAN SEE KIND OF COMING
THROUGH THE PALMS AGAIN. SO
THEY'RE THERE. I MEAN WE'RE
RIGHT NEXT TO WHERE THOSE THAT
SMOKE IS. IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO
RESIDENTS. HERE COMES HERE
COMES A FIREFIGHTER HERE RIGHT
IN FRONT OF US LOOKING LIKE
THEY'RE GOING TO TRY AND PUT
OUT THAT AND THAT THAT REALLY
IS CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW. THE
PROBLEM IS ALL THOSE PALM TREES
ARE CATCHING ON FIRE WITH MORE
DAMAGE IS QUITE SURPRISING. CAN
YOU. CAN YOU GIVE US AN IDEA OF
WHY THAT'S HAPPENING? I MEAN
WAS THERE A BRUSH THAT THEN
WENT UP TO THE TOPS OF THESE
TREES? YEAH, THAT'S A BETTER
LOOK AT THAT. WE HAVE SEEN SO
MANY IN JUST THE PAST FEW
MINUTES I MEAN SO ACTIVE TO SEE
THAT MANY AIRCRAFT COMING
THROUGH. YOU REALLY HAVE A GOOD
VANTAGE POINT AT LEAST FOR
RESIDENTS WHO MAY BE WATCHING
THIS TO KNOW THAT THEY'RE
TRYING THEIR BEST TO GET AS
MUCH WATER ON THIS AS THEY CAN.
BUT AGAIN, AS TO WHY THIS IS
HAPPENING, KENNY, WHAT CAN YOU
TELL FROM WHERE YOU ARE? SO
FROM WHAT I HEARD THE SCANNERS.
THERE WAS A FIRE THAT STARTED
OUT IN THIS CANYON AND THIS IS
LOOKING SOUTHBOUND FROM ADAMS.
ADAMS IS THE ROAD THAT I CAME
UP. IT'S KIND OF A CURVATURE
ROAD AND FOR THE MOST PART IT
CAME UP THIS HILL. IT WAS
THREATENING THESE HOMES UP
ABOVE HERE AND IT LOOKS LIKE
THEY GOT IT OUT BUT ENOUGH OF
THE EMBERS CAME DOWN INTO THIS
AREA DOWN HERE AND CUT THOSE
PALM FRONDS ON FIRE AND THAT'S
WHAT CREATED THE BIGGER PROBLEM
THAT THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT
RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THERE'S SO
MANY LITTLE POCKETS WHEN I SEE
SOME MORE SMOKE OFF TO THE LEFT
HAND SIDE OF BEING OUT HERE TO
POSSIBLY ANOTHER ONE STARTING
UP AS WELL. BUT IN THE DISTANCE
YOU CAN SEE WHAT APPEARS
PROBABLY TO BE A FIREFIGHTER
MAYBE TRYING TO PUT THIS ONE
STILL OUT TOO. BUT THERE A A
STUBBORN LITTLE PALM FIRES AND
THOSE THINGS CAN CONTINUE TO GO
AND GO UNTIL THEY'RE ALL OUT
AND PALM TREE FIRES JUST REALLY
EXPLODE IN SIZE. AND WHEN YOU
SEE THAT WIND I MEAN YOU CAN
SEE THE PALM FRONDS BLOWING
SIDEWAYS, THE TREE BLOWING
SIDEWAYS. IT COULD REALLY SEND
THAT OFF INTO OTHER SPOTS INTO
NEIGHBORHOODS. AND I MEAN IT
LOOKS LIKE FROM WHERE YOU ARE.
THESE ARE TOWN HOMES, IS THAT
RIGHT? I WOULD SAY YES.
CONDOMINIUMS OR NO, THAT'S OK.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE I'M SURE FOR
RESIDENTS THAT'S A LITTLE BIT
OF RELIEF AT LEAST TO SEE THAT
THERE'S CONSTANT WATER DROPS
AND YOU KNOW, THE GO AHEAD
UNDER LAGOON IS RIGHT THERE.
I'M ASSUMING THAT'S WHERE
THEY'RE FUELING OR GETTING MORE
OF THAT WATER TO BE ABLE TO
DROP. AT LEAST THERE'S THAT
CLOSE ACCESS. IS THAT WHAT
YOU'RE SEEING TO I WOULD SAY SO
THERE ARE KIND OF GO INTO THE
SOUTH SIDE OF MY VIEW. BUT
YEAH, THERE ARE DEFINITELY
DOING THEIR BEST WITH THESE
WATER DROPS THEMSELVES. AGAIN,
IT'S PRETTY STUBBORN. JUST FOR
THE FACT THAT THOSE PALM TREES
ARE STILL CATCHING ON FIRE.
WE'RE WAITING FOR ANOTHER WATER
DROP HERE. I CAN'T TELL BECAUSE
I'M NOT VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS
EXACT AREA BUT I I BELIEVE
THESE HOMES SURROUND THE
LAGOON. WE'RE VERY CLOSE TO IT
BECAUSE I CAME UP YOU COULD NOT
GET OFF BEFORE TAMARA BECAUSE
THEY SEPARATED US. YEAH. KENNY,
YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT. IT
STARTED. WE'RE HEARING FROM
PARK AND MARINA WHICH IS RIGHT
THERE AT THE LAGOON. SO THE
LAGOON THAT'S THE ONE YOU SEE
OFF THE FIVE AS YOU GO THROUGH
CARLSBAD, YOU KNOW AND IT'S A
PRETTY BIG ONE. A LOT OF NICE
HOMES RIGHT ALONG THE WATER'S
EDGE THERE. BUT THERE IS DRY
VEGETATION, THOSE ROLLING HILLS
AS WE'RE SEEING AND THEN THOSE
DRY PALM FRONT AND PALM TREES
TO SEE THAT THAT'S A BIG ISSUE
HERE TO SEE THESE PALM TREES
LIGHT UP IN FLAMES, THE VERY
TOPS. AND YOU KNOW, WITH THAT
FLYING EMBERS THAT COULD
OBVIOUSLY LAND INTO SOMEONE'S
ROOFTOP INTO THEIR YARD. I MEAN
TO SEE THIS PERSON OUT THERE
YOU KNOW, THIS WHOLE TIME YOU
BEEN THIS HEATHER HERE ARE KIND
OF JOINING IN THE STRESS. THESE
POOR PEOPLE ARE UNNERVING AND
HERE WE ARE AT THE END OF
JANUARY AND THEY'RE DOING
EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO TRY TO
PROTECT THEIR PROPERTY FROM A
BRUSHFIRE JUST TO BRING FOLKS
UP TO WHAT'S HAPPENING. THIS IS
A FIRE THAT BROKE OUT IN THE
CORALS BAD AREA AND IS QUICKLY
SPREADING AGAIN DUE TO THE DRY
BRUSH AND OF COURSE THE WIND IN
THE AREA. FOR FOLKS THAT HAVE
BEEN TOLD TO EVACUATE, THEY'VE
BEEN TOLD TO GO TO THE SHOPS AT
CARLSBAD AND CARLSBAD. POLICE
NOW SAY THAT THE RED CROSS HAS
BEEN NOTIFIED AND THEY WILL BE
RESPONDING TO THAT AREA TO HELP
ALL OF THE EVACUEES. A NUMBER
OF AIRCRAFT IN THE AIR HAVE
BEEN MAKING DROPS DROPPING FIRE
RETARDANT ON THE BRUSH FIRE,
TRYING TO GET A HANDLE ON THIS.
AND THEN WHEN I TAKE A LOOK AT
THE PROGRESS THAT THEY'VE MADE,
IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN VERY
SUBSTANTIAL. YOU GET TO SEE THE
SMOKE THAT WE SAW JUST MOMENTS
AGO AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S
COMING DOWN A LITTLE BIT. BUT
YOU KNOW, JUST SEE ACTIVE
FLAMES IN THOSE PALM TREES AND
THEN THE WIND BLOWING THOSE
PALM FRONDS SIDEWAYS THAT CAN
BE CONCERNING. I MEAN SO MANY
RESIDENTS ARE TRYING TO USE
THEIR OWN HOSES HOSE OFF THEIR
ROOFTOPS, THEIR NEIGHBORS
HOUSES AND THEN THERE'S THE
FIREFIGHTERS RIGHT THERE TOO.
BUT DO WANT TO MENTION AGAIN
CARLSBAD POLICE ARE ASKING
SEVERAL PEOPLE TO LEAVE THAT
AREA. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW
STREETS THAT THEY'VE LISTED
PART OF THIS EVACUATION ZONE.
THEY SENT OUT AN EMERGENCY
NOTIFICATION ASKING PEOPLE TO
LEAVE THAT AREA AND YOU ARE
BEING ASKED TO GO TO THE SHOPS
OF CARLSBAD IF YOU DON'T HAVE
ANYWHERE ELSE TO GO. THAT
PARKING IS AVAILABLE FOR YOU.
RED CROSS WILL BE THERE TO HELP
BUT HORIZON DRIVE BETWEEN SUNNY
HILL DRIVE AND HILLSIDE DRIVE
BEING TOLD TO LEAVE THAT AREA.
PEOPLE ALONG SEE BLUFF CIRCLE.
AGAIN THERE ARE QUITE A FEW
ROADS HERE AS SUNBURST ROAD ALL
ALONG MARINA AND PARK WHERE GO
YONDER LAGOON IS. IT LOOKS TO
BE ON THE NORTH END OF THE
LAGOON. SO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD
RIGHT THERE THERE BEING YOU
KNOW THEY OBVIOUSLY NEED TO
ACCESS IT PERSONNEL LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND FIRE NEED TO BE
ABLE TO ACCESS IT. SO PLEASE
STAY OUT OF THEIR WAY IF YOU
NEED HELP TO GET OUT. CALL 9 1
1 AS WELL AND THEY'LL COME TO
YOUR DOOR AND TRY TO GET YOU
OUT OF YOUR HOME AND INTO
SAFETY. YOU CAN SEE THE WATER
DROPS. THE FIRE RETARDANT DROPS
ARE CONTINUING AS THEY ARE
GETTING A HANDLE ON THIS FIRE.
AGAIN, THIS IS CALLED THE PARK
FIRE. WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT WE
ARE GOING TO CONTINUE OUR
COVERAGE ON OUR WEB SITE AT CBS
STATE DOT COM. AGAIN, WE ARE
VERY ACTIVE ON ALL OF OUR
SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES FOR UPDATED
INFORMATION TO YOU CAN GO THERE
AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO FIND OUT
EXACTLY WHERE THE EVACUATIONS
ARE TAKING PLACE. BUT AGAIN,
FIREFIGHTERS CERTAINLY UP
AGAINST A LOT. IN CARLSBAD WITH
THOSE WINDY CONDITIONS WE CAN
JUST HOPE THAT A LITTLE BIT OF
RAIN IS ON THE WAY. THERE IS
SOME RAIN SOUTH OF THAT
LOCATION. OUR PHOTOGRAPHER
KENNY YOU SAW IS RIGHT UP THERE
ON THE FRONT LINES AND HE WILL
OF COURSE HAVE UPDATES AS WELL
AND WE WILL HAVE THE VERY
LATEST ON THE FOUR COMING UP
HERE IN JUST LESS THAN AN
