Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. I'm usually
my normal shift is midnight to three am, but they've
invited me to come on from four to seven, sort
of like a a buy back. Hey man, this is
a big time I hope you can handle it. Yeah,
thank you very much, but I'm very nervous about this.
(00:21):
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I guess we're going
to start with a reporter named Alex Stone. Alex Stone,
you're on kfive.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Wow, welcome to the big time afternoon.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Thank you. No longer the overnight shift, not anymore.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
You know, I started that shift and when my first
shift was eleven pm to three am, and that's when
you can get away with murder at that hour. Sure
you can use the any word you want in that hour,
or so I thought. And then we use the F
word and we got a couple of calls.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It didn't work out so well, it did not.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Yeah, Alex Stone, what's going on with the red flag
fire warning? I know you're you have your ear. ABC's
been sensational. You're coworker Mark Brown. I think worked fit
fifty five straight hours. Every time I turned TV on,
he was on. Oh I think everybody did. David Ono, Yeah, right,
David Onos Robless.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
You know, everybody has just gave Santos up in the helicopter.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
It's it's been pretty incredible.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
But I mean nothing, you know, reporter wise, compared to
what the first responders have been doing and the firefighters
and the sheriff's deputies and CHP and everybody else that
they have just they've been working around the clock. We
have a neighbor who's La County fire and yeah, my
wife was telling me that I was out on the fire.
But he came home and he was in some random
(01:34):
lexus pulling up that he borrowed from somebody else and
he had been out on the eating fire and was
just dirty as can be. And this was Sunday, I
guess or Saturday, and he said he had four hours
to come up, that they were taking time off. He
decided he was going to drive home, take a shower,
see his kids, and then go right back.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
On the line. And that that it's just been NonStop.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
So yeah, the the wind, yeah, I think everybody listening
would say it was not seventy miles an hour there
were some peaks where they this morning got seventy one
mile an hour readings, But it hasn't been the craziness
that this PDS red flag warning was warning about. But
we're talking to tell A County fire today and they
say they're really worried tonight now about the Santa Clarita
(02:20):
Valley up to the one twenty six into Ventura County,
because they do still believe that it could get a
little hairy with the strong winds. But then we should
be by midday tomorrow finally kind of out of this
and turning around and getting the onshore flow, and by Friday,
you know, there's a small chance like ten percent of
(02:42):
getting a little bit of rain. There's some word of
maybe some more Santa Ana wins next week, but at
least we'd get through Friday, Saturday, Sunday and get a
little bit of a break there.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
But their biggest issue is.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Not they don't think the two big fires that are
burning or any of the other small ones. They've got
so many men and women on the front lines now
from everywhere across the country, in Mexico and Canada and
South Africa is sending in firefighters that they've had hose
lines out today, They've got so much fire retardant on
the ground on the line that that they don't think
(03:14):
that those are going to go anywhere. It would be
the one that they are behind the eight ball on
of you know, if something were to start in Fillmore
or in Santa Paula, or in Santa Clarita or in
act In, and that they weren't there when it started
and it began to run, and then they get they've
got to do everything again of people running away and
evacuating and homes burning. That's your biggest concern tonight. So
(03:36):
don't you think that's over getting through it tonight and
then we hopefully will be done.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
But don't you think this is this is over where
there's so many guys out there, and so many guys
and gals, you know, with the equipment and with to
know how to beat these fires back. Don't you think
La is one of the safest cities right now to
be in perhaps in the United States.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I think you're right, especially around the eat and fire
and the Palisades fire. But again, it would be the
other ones that they're not ready for where they've got
to respond to them and by the time they get there,
that they're already running and that they're already growing pretty quickly,
and then they would be behind it on those. But yeah,
at least around Altadena and around Pacific Palisades, those areas,
(04:16):
they've got those lines so buttoned up that it would
be a shock if anything really roared.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Up again on those that. There hasn't been any active
fire that we've seen.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
I've been on Altadena since like the three am Wednesday morning,
and we haven't since about Sunday. We have not seen
active flames really on Altadena. Really like Friday afternoon. We
have not seen any active flames. And there's been little
things here and there that they've been working on the line,
but really a raging fire front that we haven't.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Seen that in quite a while. They're looking quite good.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Let me ask you something they you know, I've seen
the Altadena fire. I've seen not in person but on
on TV and some YouTube live shots of it, and
I don't see any fire. I don't see any smoke yet.
They say it's thirty five percent contained. That's always bothered me.
If there's no fire, no smoke, no gas leaks, isn't
that one hundred percent contained.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Well, no, because containment, they've got to get fire line
all the way around it, and then you get the
one hundred percent of where if it flares up again,
that it's not going to jump that line hopefully, and
then they control it once they get one hundred percent containment,
so they get it surrounded. I know some people like
to say surround it, and so they surrounded one hundred percent.
Even if it looks to us like it's out, there's
(05:26):
still embers that and we may find out that the
Pacific Palisade fire started from embers from a previous fire.
That's one theory that's out there, from a New Year's
Day fire of a fireworks fire that they had that
may not have under deep enough under the soil, may
not have been completely out, otherwise it can flare back
up again and then they get control of it after
(05:47):
by moving in from that containment zone.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
So to those of us.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Who are not firefighters, you'll look at it and be like,
this thing's out. To them, they say, no, that it's
not out at all, and it's still grows well not
necessarily growing it because the acreage hasn't changed, but that
it's totally you know, like what like seventy percent sixty
five percent uncontained and uncontrolled. But yeah, there's not This
is not Wednesday and Thursday with a flaming front running.
(06:12):
It's it's nothing like that anymore, right, you know what?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
On a different note there, Alex, I think we're going
to run into a problem pretty quickly here in Los Angeles,
and I hope to god we don't. But you remember
the Lahina fire and the reaction. Okay, the reaction to
the Lahina fire is everybody on the mainland thought that
Maui burned to the ground, and so everybody canceled their trip.
They canceled their hotel, they canceled their flight to rent
(06:35):
a car, and Maui went through a year of very
few tourists visiting that island. I think we're running the
risk of doing the same thing here. The more pictures
we put out and the more video goes out, the
more social media goes out, people think that all of
LA and all of southern California was wiped out and
they're canceling their flights to come to Los Angeles. And
proof of that is a buddy of mine, a guy
(06:57):
named Scott, went to lax this morning and he thought
it was closed because he didn't see anybody there.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
There was not a single person.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
The TSA line and the gate agent said, everybody's canceling
in and out flights in and out of Los Angeles
because they think the whole thing is burned down.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I bet you're right.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
In every community Santa Rosa, with the wine country, they
dealt with that as well. Lehina definitely did. And I'm
sure that they were probably going to hear the theme
parks around here take a hit, and the tour companies
that do the Hollywood tours, they're going to take a
hit in the hotels and everybody else, no doubt, Because
if you live on the East coast, do you think
all of LA has.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Burned well, especially when they say it's twice the size
of Manhattan.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
If you live in Manhattan, you're like, wow, I'm not
going down.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
All the time. I mean, then everything's gone.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
And you know, you hear people talk about it it
wiped through LA and yeah, all the way out to
the ocean, and you go, well, it's horrendous. But it
didn't go through La. Yes, through a neighborhood in LA.
Because Pacific Palisades is in LA. The other thing is
out to Dina. You know, they keep saying Los Angeles,
and you go, well, if you're in outa Dina, you're
(08:03):
you're not technically in La So it's it's remembering them
as well.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
But yeah, I think.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
There's going to be a real, you know, tourism image
thing that they're going to have to fix it at
the end of this. And they got to Universal and
Disneyland and everything else that they're perfectly fine.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah, I bet.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
And again, you know, our heart goes out to everybody
who's been affected by this. But I you know, when
they say there are you know, there's rumors going around
there's no hotel rooms available from San Diego all the
way to Fresno, and that's not true.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
John Colevelt said he was, you know, sniffing around his
area and there are three hotels just in on the
west side run his house that are available.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Yeah, yeah, I do know a lot of people are
choosing to go out to Vegas. We talked to our
Vegas affiliate out there and they say that a lot
of people are just saying, you know what, forget about it,
We'll come back when all of this calms down. Because
they're evacuated anyway, so they take their RV and they
go out and enjoy a little bit of Vegas. So
you know, some people are choosing to to to take
a road trip out of this.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
But yeah, it's unprecedented. We just sit here every day.
There's something new.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Man.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
You got it. Thanks to have a good night.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Ought you to Alex Stone with ABC News. That guy's great.
And we got a lot of guests tonight. We got
We've got the Orange County fire Chief, Brian Fantasy. He's
got an unbelievable story and we'll talk to him and
then later on Brunos Serrato. He is from the White
House Anaheim, White House Restaurant offering free dinners to firefighters
(09:30):
and first responders. That's a great guy. That guy's always
giving back, always giving back. We're keep an eye on
the fires here. On a side note, the Los Angeles
Rams have moved on. They beat the Vikings last night
in Arizona, ironically at State Farm Arena.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
State Farm Arena.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
How could that it possibly happened?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
All right, we're going to continue here, but we are
all exhausted. Everybody's on edge. Everybody thinks they're next and
are are. We don't know how people move on. You know,
some when you're in your sixties and seventies, if you're
a male or female, it's hard to get out of
bed when everything is going right. Can you imagine how
(10:19):
difficult it is to wake up with your home gone,
your cars, your school, your kids' school, your church, your business,
your supermarket, your you know, your dentist, everything's gone. And
I imagine some people are waking up and they open
their eyes and they think, oh, okay, everything's great, everything's great,
and then bang, it hits them that they have nothing.
(10:40):
I bet there's a there's like a thirty second period
when they wake up like, oh, okay, I'm going to
get some coffee, I'm gonna go down, and then it
hits them that it's that it's that they're they have nothing.
That has got to be dealt with on a on
a psychological level, because people are stressed out to begin with.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I don't know what to say to these people, though.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
You know, when you have a friend or a family
member who has been burned to the ground, it is
you have to be so cautious and what to say
and what not to say, we've never done this before
as a community. So we're all learning, you know, every day,
what to do, what to say, where to go, what
clothing to donate, what supplies to donate, blankets, phone chargers,
(11:23):
monetary donations. It's all brand new, so we're all making mistakes,
but we're all trying to do the right thing.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty green.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
They spell it for you in the promo. I'm not
going to do then if you can't spell green, I don't.
I think you would hurt yourself with the thousand dollars
that you've got. I think you do something really nasty
to yourself unless you got yourself. I don't know, maybe
reading lessons or I don't know, vocabulary lessons from third grade,
(12:02):
because I mean.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
How old a spella? How old a young lady are you?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
How old are you?
Speaker 8 (12:06):
I'm twenty two.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
At what age did you know how to spell the
color green?
Speaker 8 (12:11):
I want to say, a steady five or six. I
was like reading and stringing togethers.
Speaker 9 (12:18):
Knocked that out? Yeah, yeah, okay, sometimes I struggle with
it still, but.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
All right, I get it. What do you have words
you struggle with spelling? Hmmm? Mine is restaurant.
Speaker 8 (12:30):
You know, I do struggle with restaurant.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I have to break it into three words. I put
rest and then AU. I rest and write AU and
then I put rent R N T.
Speaker 9 (12:38):
I still have to say Weddin's day when I'm like
typing Wednesday like I can.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
It's just not automatic for me.
Speaker 9 (12:46):
I also still have to like do this from my
left and my right hand.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Sometimes, oh really, well, you put your fingers up so
you look at the l is left.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Oh wow.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Sometimes sometimes not all the time.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I had a friend who lived in nor Hollywood and
he lived on if you can picture this, he lived
off of Magnolia and he lived west of the one seventy.
All right, remember that that's key. He lived west of
the one seventy, so he had come home from work
every day. He lived there for twenty five years, twenty
(13:17):
five years, and he'd get off the freeway of Magnoia,
you get off the one seventy Magnolia, and he had
to turn left to get to his home, left to
get to his home of twenty five years, and he said,
two or three days a week he would turn right
and he would see the seven to eleven and he go, oh,
I went the wrong way twenty five years.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
There's some kind of.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Mental block that people have. Yeah, you know, yeah, and
I get it. You ever do this though, I mean Crows,
you drive more than I do, Jeffer. When you're driving home,
you're sort of in a daze. You're thinking about work,
you're thinking about you know, what's going on with your family,
and then you realize you don't know where you are. Yes,
miss Exits, absolutely yeah, You're like, wait where did I
(14:01):
pass this? I don't remember this part of the drive.
I remember that part of the drive either. It's weird,
you know, you just get sort of entrenched in in
there's trance where you're like driving and you're like right
where am I? And it freaks out a little bit
because you don't know where you are. It's called getting older, Tim,
That's what happens. That's what happens. All right, Let's say
(14:22):
we got a lot to get to today. We've got
the pet owner was reunited. This is a great story.
There was a guy who had two dogs. I think
one of them was Tika, Tka Tika, and I think
the other one was Oreo, and he got, he got,
he hooked up with his dogs again. And it's such
a great story because you know, the story that nobody's
(14:44):
telling out there right now are the pets, you know,
the pets that are lose, the pets that are out there,
the pets that have not been you know, reunited with
their I don't know, pet owners or pet families or
whatever you know you call them.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
And and it's.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Great to hear these stories where this dog was missing
for five days and they thought this dog, there's no
way this dog could have been alive.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
But there's a heartwarming video.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
It shows the emotional moment of California who lost his
home in the Palisades fire was reunited with his pet dog.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Five days later. He thought he lost his dog forever.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Casey Colvin colv Im was filmed spotting his long lost
dog Oreo, through a neighbor's gate, then sobbing as it
jumped into his arms and he kept screaming, oh honey,
oh my god, you're alive, You're alive. He was crying
through tears and holding Oreo. Overwhelmed and Calvin ran into
(15:41):
it in circles and pumping his arms. He couldn't believe
it and he was even he even went to hire
I think this is the guy who went to hire
a dog finder.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
That's a job here in La a dog finder. But yeah,
he had two dogs.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Oreo was one of them, Antika Tika Tika and it's
an odd name, but I like it.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
But soon after his home burned down to the ground.
Despite the loss, Calvin remained determined to find Oreo, posting
flyers the missing dog online using air tag he had
on the pet to Right to try to locate him.
On January twelfth, he shared an update on these search efforts.
Calvin said that Oriole has been spotted twice and seen
(16:24):
sleeping in the rubble of a neighbor's home.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
No food, no warmth, nothing, and his dog man.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
They found it after returning after returning to what remained
of his home with a professional dog trapper.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
I gotta get into that game.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah, professional dog finder. I don't know what the skills
skill set that requires, but it's out there. He finally
found Oriole hiding among the dirt and the debris left
behind after the fire. The heartwarming union captured by NBC
shows the owner the dog owner coaxing the scared dog
(17:04):
out of the ruins and into the neighbor's driveway and
then into his arms palisades and eating fire remained out
of control. Then it goes into the fire. But I
think this is the owner's reaction to that when he
found his beautiful little doggy.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Oreo, oh.
Speaker 9 (17:23):
Love, you're alive?
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Who?
Speaker 10 (17:30):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Man, oh man.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
That guy is excited. He's got his dog back, and
that's that's that's great.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Man.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Of all the horrible stories out there, for this guy
to be that excited to get his dog back is awesome.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
I got to hear that again, you're alive?
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Who?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
At that point, the dog's by like, look, I've been
him on this rubbo for five days. You're yelling in
my ear.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Give me a break, Hey, Tim, Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Can I pet that now? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Can I bet that now?
Speaker 5 (18:09):
I bet that? No?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Can I pet that now?
Speaker 5 (18:13):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Love?
Speaker 5 (18:14):
You're love?
Speaker 9 (18:18):
Whoa.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
There's nobody on this show we'll get that reaction from
their husband, wife or girlfriend or mom or dad if
they were found after five days.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
That guy loves that dog.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Oreo.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
That's great, ma'am. That's great. That guy got his dog back,
and that means the hell. That means the world to him,
So congratulations that that chat. We are live on KFIM
six forty. We're covering everything when it comes to the fires.
We're gonna be on till seven o'clock tonight. Moe Kelly's
at seven, and we have more information than we have
time for, so let's take a break and get right
(18:53):
back to him.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kfi
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
We have Brian Fantasy with us.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
He is the chief of the Orange County Fire Authority
and he's our next guest chief.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
How are you, sir?
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Good tim Great to hear from you.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
But you know, I tape the newscast.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I tape you know, two, four or five, seven, nine
to eleven, and I try to look at all of them,
and I caught just the tail end before my DVR stopped,
and there was a story there and I couldn't find
it online about you going to like Altadena to save
your brothers.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Or uncle's home.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Yeah, you know, CBS sixty minutes has got it on
YouTube too. They came and wanted to know more about
the fire, and I told them my personal story and
lo and behold they used it. But yeah, I grew
up in Altadena. My family, my brothers have a lot
of friends and still have family there. And my brother
(19:51):
is the person that we tell everybody not to be
that that stubborn person that does not evacuate right right.
Family left and their emotional I'm getting calls from them that,
you know, my brother wouldn't leave, and and then his
phone went dead, and it was about two three in
the morning, and so I jumped in the in the
car and drove up there, hoping not to find the worst.
(20:15):
And you know, it was pretty fortunate and that that
he did get out. He stayed way too long until
it scared the you know what out of him there.
And since I was there, I thought, since I could
get behind the obviously police lines, I'd go check on
his house. And it was tough to get there, but
his house and the whole one of the houses next
door was was still standing, but every other house was
(20:38):
fully involved. And so I worked for about an hour
to do what I could to prep up both houses
to survive that. And today they're the only two houses
probably within well definitely within eyeshot that you'll find there.
So he's pretty happy. He didn't lose his home, but
I think he's learned a valuable lesson too.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Yeah, you've been in the fire game for a long time.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
And on on the other end of it, you know,
people losing their homes, it's it's you know, devastating, But
the people who try to fight fires for a living.
For them to see, for your your co workers, your
your crews, for them to see house after house after
house burned down, that's got to be really depressing for
firefighters to go home and to have those thoughts in
(21:23):
their mind that they couldn't save these homes. That's their job,
and they probably felt like, like, you know, like they
were living their own small nightmare.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Tim. I am so glad that you recognize that. You're
probably the first one I've spoken to that really really
connected that way. And you're absolutely right. You know, firefighters
are problem solvers, and you know, we're called for anything.
If you don't note just called nine one one of
the fire department shows up. Well a couple things, you know,
this fire, what if you called nine to one one,
(21:53):
guess what, the fire department never showed up because there
was nobody to show up. That's pretty unusual, but for
the firefight fighters, You're right to experience that kind of loss.
No matter what you do, you're not able to stop
this fire because again, this fire, under those unique conditions
was unstoppable. Wouldn't have mattered how many engines, trucks, helicopters.
(22:16):
That fire was going to do what it was going
to do, whether nature had plans, and you know it's
no different. You know, the firefighters and others have been
criticized for not maybe doing a better job and stopping it.
But we don't hear firefighters getting criticized for not stopping
the hurricane. We're not stopping the tornado. I mean, this
(22:37):
is truly a weather event that was beyond human control.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Orange County Fire Chief Ryan fantasies with us.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
How do you balance the request from LA Fire and
LA County Fire for more crews from Orange County yet
keep enough cruise in Orange County to make sure that
your residents are safe.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Well the keyword and you said it is balanced. And
I think you and I have talked about it before.
The LA City Chief Crowley, LA County Chief Maronium, Venture
County Chief Gardner and I have a for lack of
veteror and informal agreement. We understand that the mutual aid system,
albeit robust, the process of requesting and receiving resource is
(23:20):
time consuming. It needs to be modernized and that will
be something that comes out of the outcome of this.
We need technology to assist us because it's not working.
And so what we've done is created after the twenty
eighteen Woolsey fire, where we saw significant life and property
loss our own what we call pick up the phone
and call a chief. And you know that morning Chief
(23:43):
Crowley called me and says, what can you send? I said,
I can send you fifteen twenty engines. I can send
you a helicopter to Hancrew right now. He said, I'll
take it. Where do you want. They're on the road
in five to ten minutes. She did the same with
La County, did the same with Ventura County. So we had,
you know, great surge going towards Pacific power Estates. In
addition to the resources that she had stood up not
(24:05):
only on our own but what Calo Wes provided. And
so you know, there is you know, some discussion about
we didn't have enough resources. Well, we had a lot
of resources, you know, and on a normal quote unquote
normal event, you know, might have had some success. This
was not a normal event. Also, what I have to
do because then they eaton fire started that night and
(24:27):
again it was phone a chief time, and I sent
more you know, engines and helicopters and boulded all the
stuff that we send. So we did a department recall.
We went into emergency operations, recalling off duty firefighters to
put on reserve rigs. These are apparatus that you know,
are used to replace those for maintenance and those sorts
(24:48):
of things that we have. I think thirty to forty
of them, and we put those back in the station
so that we can continue to deliver you know, all
our medical services, structure, fire services, and still be able
to rep bond to wildline fires. And you know, the wind,
the wind didn't stop blowing in La County. The wind
was howling here in Orange County in Riverside. We're just
(25:09):
lucky that we did not have an ignition.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yeah, I've never seen a thing like that. Chief when
when And I'm glad that the Chief Crowley called you personally.
I think that's very important to get a personal call
like that. Not it wasn't delegated to somebody else she
called you personally, I think that's terrific. But when you
send you know, fifteen to twenty trucks, what is the
logistics of that? Do they all meet at an area
where they all get together and then they're escorted by
(25:34):
the CHP or do they all meet in Los Angeles
at a certain area?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
How does that? How does that work?
Speaker 5 (25:39):
So they're you know what we ordered by strike team
and a strike team an engine. Strike team is five
engines and a leader. So a battalion chief normally in
a you know, battalion suburban or or pickup truck, one
of those things, and they can they can rally it
in one point and then and then travel in together,
you know, as a train, or they can show up
piecemea because you want them quick. The whole idea obviously
(26:03):
is speed. And again I go back to the current
system that needs modernization. It is not built for speed.
And that's what we learned in Woolsey and why we've
taken we've taken the matter into our own hands. It's
not something that I think the Forest Service really appreciates.
It managed the system because they got to reconcile it later. Well,
what it does for us. It allows us if I
(26:25):
got a fire in Orange County and you know I
had to call you crowdly back and say, look, I
got to pull my stuff back. We just got a fire,
should go okay. You know, we were actually managing it.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
And so.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
It's worked out very well where we in Orange County
got resources for them and Tour County's got stuff from us.
It's worked very well, but it is not the way
to do business in the modern day. So that is
going to be a big focus of our post action
decisions and the fire Scope Board of Directors will be
looking at that on January twenty third on Riverside County
(27:00):
and coming up with needs, you know, whether it be
equipment processes, those sorts of things.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Jeez, I know you're busy man.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Whatever I get you on the phone, though, I always
want to ask you about the fire crew that had
the accident on the two forty one when it flipped
over there was a ladder in the middle of the highway.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
There any updates on these brave young men.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Well, thank you. I mean that means a lot to
me personally, Tim, and I know it will for all
of our people listening to this. And yeah, you know,
most of them are trickling back to or have gotten
to work back to work. There's still one of our
firefighters that well two of them, I mean really significant
major injuries. One is in Colorado right now at a
(27:43):
rehab center and his progress, albeit steady, is certainly slow
and it's going to be a long time. And the
second firefighter that was in Colorado we welcomed back several
weeks ago. Good you know, he was hurt gravely, who
came back walking on his own, and so we have
(28:04):
great hopes for both of them. But it means a
lot to me, again, Tim, personally, that you even asked.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
These are the best men and women in the world.
I appreciate you coming on. God bless you. The whole
crew down there be safe and we'd love to check
back with you again shortly anytime. Thank you, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Chief Orange County Fire Chief Brian Fantasy protecting Orange County
and right sitting right next to the phone, and anytime
LA needs help, he's sending truck after truck after airplane
after our helicopter ambulances everything we need.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
So thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Thank to Orange County Fire Authority and Chief Brian fantasy.
Speaker 7 (28:42):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demaya from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Think about this last night, you know, when they were
talking about red tape and building homes back in Alta, Dina,
the Eaton Fire Area, parts of Arcadia, parts of Pasadena,
and then out to the Palisades and Malibu. I've recorded,
I record a bunch of shows on TV. I watched
mainly news and sports. But one of my favorite shows,
and I don't know why I get sometimes I get
(29:12):
emotional over the show, but I watch it. My wife
watches it with me, my daughter watches it. And it's
a show called Extreme Makeover where they tear a guy's
house down.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
They ask them what they want.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
They're usually you know, a mother, maybe a single mom
who has like three kids, and one of the kids
is you know, a little fuzzy, and they rebuild the
entire home. They tear it down. They have a ton
of people working on it, and they erect this home
and they build it in a week. They tear down
(29:51):
the old home, level it, put down new footings, put
down you know, you know, put up new walls. I
everything's new, the electric, the plumbing, the roof, the appliances.
Everything is brand new. They put the house together and
they furnish it. All the wall coverings are on, all
(30:14):
the paintings, the window coverings, the new windows, the doors,
the lawn in the back or the pool or whatever
that's been. You know, they brought out, sawed or reseated it.
There's new plants around, there's a new fence around, and
they do it in a week.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
A week now.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
I know it's TV, and it may be longer than
a week, and they don't really say a week, but
I think it's a week, and maybe it's a week
and a half. And we all think it's seven days
watching the show, but maybe it's seven days.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I think we need the Extreme Makeover people to come
out and start rebuilding these homes one by one, one
by one, or at least show us how you do that,
Show us how that's done. How many people do you
have working on it?
Speaker 11 (31:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Do you ever watch that show, Crosier, that Extreme Makeover?
I think I might have seen one or two when
it first came out, like what.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Twenty Yeah, that's right, long time ago. You watch up
Bella that Extreme Makeover.
Speaker 8 (31:14):
I know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Yeah, they rebuilt a home in a week of it.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
I heard that's Angel's favorite show.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Though.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Angels said, I love it.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
I watch it all the time.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
I do too.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Hey, on a serious note, here, what did you say?
I thought it was dreaming. Here another nightmare? You say,
we have a jumper?
Speaker 8 (31:34):
There was one.
Speaker 12 (31:37):
It looks like they have brought the person to safety.
But it was in downtown along the one ten near
Fifth Street. So that overpass at fifth and fourth Street,
there's an off ramp there.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
And match opened up again.
Speaker 12 (31:51):
Yeah, traffic was pretty stopped up there in both directions,
but it appears to be open. All of the information disappeared,
so it and I'm still seeing traffic rolling through, so
the freeway is not closed.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Okay, all right, I here, thank you very much. Here's
Jay Lenno on with Anderson Cooper. And when I first
saw Jay being interviewed with Anderson Cooper, I thought this
is gonna be very difficult for this guy because he's
a comedian. He's a funny guy. He always keeps things light,
and now he's got to talk about this very serious topic.
(32:27):
But I never would have guessed what this guy drove
to the location to talk about the firefight. You're not
gonna believe this. Jay Leno the car that he decided
to take with him to go help people with hot meals.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
And a barbecue.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
I wants you to meet Jay Leno. You came by
to drop off some supplies.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
We're cooking for the for the crew.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Very nice of him.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
He's cooking for the crew hot meals instead of box
lunches for.
Speaker 10 (32:56):
The crew, and well, you guys, if you're hungry wet,
we've got a big barbecue going because you know, though,
I'm getting box lunches and we figure, let's get some
hot food. So it's kind of fun. I drove a
nineteen forty one America a France fire truck.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
So guy's got you brought your own.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Fire troup, my own fire He brought his own fire truck.
He brought a nineteen forty one fire truck with him.
Speaker 10 (33:16):
You brought your own fire trip, my own file. It's
good to have your own fire truck.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
When you live in LA and nineteen forty one forty one.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Yeah, yeah, he's the only guy that could do that
and not be considered a huge a hole. There's only
one guy in LA that can show up to a
fire in his own nineteen forty one fire truck and
everyone's happy to see him, and nobody thinks he's an
a hole. You tell me one other person, one of
the man or woman in this, in this in this,
in this state, or in this country, that could show
up at a fire in a nineteen forty one fire
(33:45):
truck and not be laughed out of the area.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Nobody. Jay Letter is the only guy that could do this.
Speaker 10 (33:51):
So but anyway, so we've got it loaded up and
we cooked yesterday in Pasadena at the Rose Ball for
the crew there, and we're here today and we'll do it.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Some have locations next two or three days.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
Y for you seen this, I mean you're a longtime
resident here, you know.
Speaker 10 (34:05):
It's it's unbelievable. It's the biggest natural disaster. Not that
nine to eleven was a natural disaster, but it's literally
on that scale. I mean it's ten thousand buildings. I mean,
you can't even if you drove all day, you couldn't
see ten thousand bys. I mean you get on that
hill and you look for miles and there's nothing. It
looks like Hiroshima or just some horrible thing. But you know,
(34:28):
the sense of community, neighbors meeting neighbors never met before,
and people all pitching in. I mean, I tried to
look at the bright side of things.
Speaker 11 (34:35):
It is true though, I mean, you see them. The
sheriff was just on talking about, you know, the rest
for looters. There's some thirty or so in La County.
What you hear of more, I mean, obviously that's an
awful thing. What you hear of more is neighbors helping neighbors,
people who didn't even know each other before, right.
Speaker 10 (34:49):
I mean it's a shame and has to come to that.
I mean the last time, remember was nine eleven, Remember
President Bush, we all to get together and the sense
of community for three or four days, everybody put aside
their political belief and who's on your lawn on a
sign and all that nonsense.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
And it's happening here today.
Speaker 10 (35:05):
I mean it's a shame, that's what it takes.
Speaker 11 (35:07):
But it's interesting you say that because you know next
week there's you know, the inauguration and everything.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
I don't even want to go back to the world
of politics.
Speaker 11 (35:14):
I mean, what's happening here is so real and so
pure and so important of people connecting and loving each
other and remembering that we are all part of a community.
Speaker 10 (35:26):
Yeah, I think that's that's really true. I mean, it's
an entire city wiped out. I mean Pacific p lets
say it's it doesn't exist and probably won't exist the
next five six years.
Speaker 6 (35:36):
Probably.
Speaker 10 (35:36):
I don't know how you rebuilding this. It's one hundred
and sixty billion dollars. There's no ensuring company in the
world have that much money. So, I mean, the problems
will be insurmountable, but we'll get through it. We always
do well.
Speaker 6 (35:49):
I love what you're doing. It's really a pleasure to
see you.
Speaker 10 (35:51):
Thanks to see so I'm sorry for the circumstances.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Jay Leno on with Anderson Cooper on CNN. All Right,
lots more information. It looks like most these fires are out.
If you drive around Los Angeles, you can't see any smoke.
There's a fire burning up Inventor. It looks like they
have a pretty good handle on that. But we've got
a lot of fire equipment here from out of state,
from out of the country. We've had offers from Africa,
(36:16):
from Mexico, even Ukraine has offered to send fire cruise.
So we've got everybody here in LA and we're all set.
It probably is the safest place to be now in
the United States. And so you can rest tonight knowing
that these guys they've got you covered. Conway Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear
(36:37):
us live on KFI Am six forty four to seven
pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the
iHeart Radio app.
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. I'm usually
my normal shift is midnight to three am, but they've
invited me to come on from four to seven, sort
of like a a buy back. Hey man, this is
a big time I hope you can handle it. Yeah,
thank you very much, but I'm very nervous about this.
(00:21):
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I guess we're going
to start with a reporter named Alex Stone. Alex Stone,
you're on kfive.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Wow, welcome to the big time afternoon.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Thank you. No longer the overnight shift, not anymore.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
You know, I started that shift and when my first
shift was eleven pm to three am, and that's when
you can get away with murder at that hour. Sure
you can use the any word you want in that hour,
or so I thought. And then we use the F
word and we got a couple of calls.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It didn't work out so well, it did not.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Yeah, Alex Stone, what's going on with the red flag
fire warning? I know you're you have your ear. ABC's
been sensational. You're coworker Mark Brown. I think worked fit
fifty five straight hours. Every time I turned TV on,
he was on. Oh I think everybody did. David Ono, Yeah, right,
David Onos Robless.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
You know, everybody has just gave Santos up in the helicopter.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
It's it's been pretty incredible.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
But I mean nothing, you know, reporter wise, compared to
what the first responders have been doing and the firefighters
and the sheriff's deputies and CHP and everybody else that
they have just they've been working around the clock. We
have a neighbor who's La County fire and yeah, my
wife was telling me that I was out on the fire.
But he came home and he was in some random
(01:34):
lexus pulling up that he borrowed from somebody else and
he had been out on the eating fire and was
just dirty as can be. And this was Sunday, I
guess or Saturday, and he said he had four hours
to come up, that they were taking time off. He
decided he was going to drive home, take a shower,
see his kids, and then go right back.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
On the line. And that that it's just been NonStop.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
So yeah, the the wind, yeah, I think everybody listening
would say it was not seventy miles an hour there
were some peaks where they this morning got seventy one
mile an hour readings, But it hasn't been the craziness
that this PDS red flag warning was warning about. But
we're talking to tell A County fire today and they
say they're really worried tonight now about the Santa Clarita
(02:20):
Valley up to the one twenty six into Ventura County,
because they do still believe that it could get a
little hairy with the strong winds. But then we should
be by midday tomorrow finally kind of out of this
and turning around and getting the onshore flow, and by Friday,
you know, there's a small chance like ten percent of
(02:42):
getting a little bit of rain. There's some word of
maybe some more Santa Ana wins next week, but at
least we'd get through Friday, Saturday, Sunday and get a
little bit of a break there.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
But their biggest issue is.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Not they don't think the two big fires that are
burning or any of the other small ones. They've got
so many men and women on the front lines now
from everywhere across the country, in Mexico and Canada and
South Africa is sending in firefighters that they've had hose
lines out today, They've got so much fire retardant on
the ground on the line that that they don't think
(03:14):
that those are going to go anywhere. It would be
the one that they are behind the eight ball on
of you know, if something were to start in Fillmore
or in Santa Paula, or in Santa Clarita or in
act In, and that they weren't there when it started
and it began to run, and then they get they've
got to do everything again of people running away and
evacuating and homes burning. That's your biggest concern tonight. So
(03:36):
don't you think that's over getting through it tonight and
then we hopefully will be done.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
But don't you think this is this is over where
there's so many guys out there, and so many guys
and gals, you know, with the equipment and with to
know how to beat these fires back. Don't you think
La is one of the safest cities right now to
be in perhaps in the United States.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I think you're right, especially around the eat and fire
and the Palisades fire. But again, it would be the
other ones that they're not ready for where they've got
to respond to them and by the time they get there,
that they're already running and that they're already growing pretty quickly,
and then they would be behind it on those. But yeah,
at least around Altadena and around Pacific Palisades, those areas,
(04:16):
they've got those lines so buttoned up that it would
be a shock if anything really roared.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Up again on those that. There hasn't been any active
fire that we've seen.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
I've been on Altadena since like the three am Wednesday morning,
and we haven't since about Sunday. We have not seen
active flames really on Altadena. Really like Friday afternoon. We
have not seen any active flames. And there's been little
things here and there that they've been working on the line,
but really a raging fire front that we haven't.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Seen that in quite a while. They're looking quite good.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Let me ask you something they you know, I've seen
the Altadena fire. I've seen not in person but on
on TV and some YouTube live shots of it, and
I don't see any fire. I don't see any smoke yet.
They say it's thirty five percent contained. That's always bothered me.
If there's no fire, no smoke, no gas leaks, isn't
that one hundred percent contained.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Well, no, because containment, they've got to get fire line
all the way around it, and then you get the
one hundred percent of where if it flares up again,
that it's not going to jump that line hopefully, and
then they control it once they get one hundred percent containment,
so they get it surrounded. I know some people like
to say surround it, and so they surrounded one hundred percent.
Even if it looks to us like it's out, there's
(05:26):
still embers that and we may find out that the
Pacific Palisade fire started from embers from a previous fire.
That's one theory that's out there, from a New Year's
Day fire of a fireworks fire that they had that
may not have under deep enough under the soil, may
not have been completely out, otherwise it can flare back
up again and then they get control of it after
(05:47):
by moving in from that containment zone.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
So to those of us.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Who are not firefighters, you'll look at it and be like,
this thing's out. To them, they say, no, that it's
not out at all, and it's still grows well not
necessarily growing it because the acreage hasn't changed, but that
it's totally you know, like what like seventy percent sixty
five percent uncontained and uncontrolled. But yeah, there's not This
is not Wednesday and Thursday with a flaming front running.
(06:12):
It's it's nothing like that anymore, right, you know what?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
On a different note there, Alex, I think we're going
to run into a problem pretty quickly here in Los Angeles,
and I hope to god we don't. But you remember
the Lahina fire and the reaction. Okay, the reaction to
the Lahina fire is everybody on the mainland thought that
Maui burned to the ground, and so everybody canceled their trip.
They canceled their hotel, they canceled their flight to rent
(06:35):
a car, and Maui went through a year of very
few tourists visiting that island. I think we're running the
risk of doing the same thing here. The more pictures
we put out and the more video goes out, the
more social media goes out, people think that all of
LA and all of southern California was wiped out and
they're canceling their flights to come to Los Angeles. And
proof of that is a buddy of mine, a guy
(06:57):
named Scott, went to lax this morning and he thought
it was closed because he didn't see anybody there.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
There was not a single person.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
The TSA line and the gate agent said, everybody's canceling
in and out flights in and out of Los Angeles
because they think the whole thing is burned down.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I bet you're right.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
In every community Santa Rosa, with the wine country, they
dealt with that as well. Lehina definitely did. And I'm
sure that they were probably going to hear the theme
parks around here take a hit, and the tour companies
that do the Hollywood tours, they're going to take a
hit in the hotels and everybody else, no doubt, Because
if you live on the East coast, do you think
all of LA has.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Burned well, especially when they say it's twice the size
of Manhattan.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
If you live in Manhattan, you're like, wow, I'm not
going down.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
All the time. I mean, then everything's gone.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
And you know, you hear people talk about it it
wiped through LA and yeah, all the way out to
the ocean, and you go, well, it's horrendous. But it
didn't go through La. Yes, through a neighborhood in LA.
Because Pacific Palisades is in LA. The other thing is
out to Dina. You know, they keep saying Los Angeles,
and you go, well, if you're in outa Dina, you're
(08:03):
you're not technically in La So it's it's remembering them
as well.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
But yeah, I think.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
There's going to be a real, you know, tourism image
thing that they're going to have to fix it at
the end of this. And they got to Universal and
Disneyland and everything else that they're perfectly fine.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah, I bet.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
And again, you know, our heart goes out to everybody
who's been affected by this. But I you know, when
they say there are you know, there's rumors going around
there's no hotel rooms available from San Diego all the
way to Fresno, and that's not true.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
John Colevelt said he was, you know, sniffing around his
area and there are three hotels just in on the
west side run his house that are available.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Yeah, yeah, I do know a lot of people are
choosing to go out to Vegas. We talked to our
Vegas affiliate out there and they say that a lot
of people are just saying, you know what, forget about it,
We'll come back when all of this calms down. Because
they're evacuated anyway, so they take their RV and they
go out and enjoy a little bit of Vegas. So
you know, some people are choosing to to to take
a road trip out of this.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
But yeah, it's unprecedented. We just sit here every day.
There's something new.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Man.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
You got it. Thanks to have a good night.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Ought you to Alex Stone with ABC News. That guy's great.
And we got a lot of guests tonight. We got
We've got the Orange County fire Chief, Brian Fantasy. He's
got an unbelievable story and we'll talk to him and
then later on Brunos Serrato. He is from the White
House Anaheim, White House Restaurant offering free dinners to firefighters
(09:30):
and first responders. That's a great guy. That guy's always
giving back, always giving back. We're keep an eye on
the fires here. On a side note, the Los Angeles
Rams have moved on. They beat the Vikings last night
in Arizona, ironically at State Farm Arena.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
State Farm Arena.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
How could that it possibly happened?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
All right, we're going to continue here, but we are
all exhausted. Everybody's on edge. Everybody thinks they're next and
are are. We don't know how people move on. You know,
some when you're in your sixties and seventies, if you're
a male or female, it's hard to get out of
bed when everything is going right. Can you imagine how
(10:19):
difficult it is to wake up with your home gone,
your cars, your school, your kids' school, your church, your business,
your supermarket, your you know, your dentist, everything's gone. And
I imagine some people are waking up and they open
their eyes and they think, oh, okay, everything's great, everything's great,
and then bang, it hits them that they have nothing.
(10:40):
I bet there's a there's like a thirty second period
when they wake up like, oh, okay, I'm going to
get some coffee, I'm gonna go down, and then it
hits them that it's that it's that they're they have nothing.
That has got to be dealt with on a on
a psychological level, because people are stressed out to begin with.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I don't know what to say to these people, though.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
You know, when you have a friend or a family
member who has been burned to the ground, it is
you have to be so cautious and what to say
and what not to say, we've never done this before
as a community. So we're all learning, you know, every day,
what to do, what to say, where to go, what
clothing to donate, what supplies to donate, blankets, phone chargers,
(11:23):
monetary donations. It's all brand new, so we're all making mistakes,
but we're all trying to do the right thing.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty green.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
They spell it for you in the promo. I'm not
going to do then if you can't spell green, I don't.
I think you would hurt yourself with the thousand dollars
that you've got. I think you do something really nasty
to yourself unless you got yourself. I don't know, maybe
reading lessons or I don't know, vocabulary lessons from third grade,
(12:02):
because I mean.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
How old a spella? How old a young lady are you?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
How old are you?
Speaker 8 (12:06):
I'm twenty two.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
At what age did you know how to spell the
color green?
Speaker 8 (12:11):
I want to say, a steady five or six. I
was like reading and stringing togethers.
Speaker 9 (12:18):
Knocked that out? Yeah, yeah, okay, sometimes I struggle with
it still, but.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
All right, I get it. What do you have words
you struggle with spelling? Hmmm? Mine is restaurant.
Speaker 8 (12:30):
You know, I do struggle with restaurant.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I have to break it into three words. I put
rest and then AU. I rest and write AU and
then I put rent R N T.
Speaker 9 (12:38):
I still have to say Weddin's day when I'm like
typing Wednesday like I can.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
It's just not automatic for me.
Speaker 9 (12:46):
I also still have to like do this from my
left and my right hand.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Sometimes, oh really, well, you put your fingers up so
you look at the l is left.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Oh wow.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Sometimes sometimes not all the time.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I had a friend who lived in nor Hollywood and
he lived on if you can picture this, he lived
off of Magnolia and he lived west of the one seventy.
All right, remember that that's key. He lived west of
the one seventy, so he had come home from work
every day. He lived there for twenty five years, twenty
(13:17):
five years, and he'd get off the freeway of Magnoia,
you get off the one seventy Magnolia, and he had
to turn left to get to his home, left to
get to his home of twenty five years, and he said,
two or three days a week he would turn right
and he would see the seven to eleven and he go, oh,
I went the wrong way twenty five years.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
There's some kind of.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Mental block that people have. Yeah, you know, yeah, and
I get it. You ever do this though, I mean Crows,
you drive more than I do, Jeffer. When you're driving home,
you're sort of in a daze. You're thinking about work,
you're thinking about you know, what's going on with your family,
and then you realize you don't know where you are. Yes,
miss Exits, absolutely yeah, You're like, wait where did I
(14:01):
pass this? I don't remember this part of the drive.
I remember that part of the drive either. It's weird,
you know, you just get sort of entrenched in in
there's trance where you're like driving and you're like right
where am I? And it freaks out a little bit
because you don't know where you are. It's called getting older, Tim,
That's what happens. That's what happens. All right, Let's say
(14:22):
we got a lot to get to today. We've got
the pet owner was reunited. This is a great story.
There was a guy who had two dogs. I think
one of them was Tika, Tka Tika, and I think
the other one was Oreo, and he got, he got,
he hooked up with his dogs again. And it's such
a great story because you know, the story that nobody's
(14:44):
telling out there right now are the pets, you know,
the pets that are lose, the pets that are out there,
the pets that have not been you know, reunited with
their I don't know, pet owners or pet families or
whatever you know you call them.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
And and it's.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Great to hear these stories where this dog was missing
for five days and they thought this dog, there's no
way this dog could have been alive.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
But there's a heartwarming video.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
It shows the emotional moment of California who lost his
home in the Palisades fire was reunited with his pet dog.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Five days later. He thought he lost his dog forever.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Casey Colvin colv Im was filmed spotting his long lost
dog Oreo, through a neighbor's gate, then sobbing as it
jumped into his arms and he kept screaming, oh honey,
oh my god, you're alive, You're alive. He was crying
through tears and holding Oreo. Overwhelmed and Calvin ran into
(15:41):
it in circles and pumping his arms. He couldn't believe
it and he was even he even went to hire
I think this is the guy who went to hire
a dog finder.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
That's a job here in La a dog finder. But yeah,
he had two dogs.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Oreo was one of them, Antika Tika Tika and it's
an odd name, but I like it.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
But soon after his home burned down to the ground.
Despite the loss, Calvin remained determined to find Oreo, posting
flyers the missing dog online using air tag he had
on the pet to Right to try to locate him.
On January twelfth, he shared an update on these search efforts.
Calvin said that Oriole has been spotted twice and seen
(16:24):
sleeping in the rubble of a neighbor's home.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
No food, no warmth, nothing, and his dog man.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
They found it after returning after returning to what remained
of his home with a professional dog trapper.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
I gotta get into that game.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah, professional dog finder. I don't know what the skills
skill set that requires, but it's out there. He finally
found Oriole hiding among the dirt and the debris left
behind after the fire. The heartwarming union captured by NBC
shows the owner the dog owner coaxing the scared dog
(17:04):
out of the ruins and into the neighbor's driveway and
then into his arms palisades and eating fire remained out
of control. Then it goes into the fire. But I
think this is the owner's reaction to that when he
found his beautiful little doggy.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Oreo, oh.
Speaker 9 (17:23):
Love, you're alive?
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Who?
Speaker 10 (17:30):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Man, oh man.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
That guy is excited. He's got his dog back, and
that's that's that's great.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Man.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Of all the horrible stories out there, for this guy
to be that excited to get his dog back is awesome.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
I got to hear that again, you're alive?
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Who?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
At that point, the dog's by like, look, I've been
him on this rubbo for five days. You're yelling in
my ear.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Give me a break, Hey, Tim, Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Can I pet that now? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Can I bet that now?
Speaker 5 (18:09):
I bet that? No?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Can I pet that now?
Speaker 5 (18:13):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Love?
Speaker 5 (18:14):
You're love?
Speaker 9 (18:18):
Whoa.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
There's nobody on this show we'll get that reaction from
their husband, wife or girlfriend or mom or dad if
they were found after five days.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
That guy loves that dog.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Oreo.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
That's great, ma'am. That's great. That guy got his dog back,
and that means the hell. That means the world to him,
So congratulations that that chat. We are live on KFIM
six forty. We're covering everything when it comes to the fires.
We're gonna be on till seven o'clock tonight. Moe Kelly's
at seven, and we have more information than we have
time for, so let's take a break and get right
(18:53):
back to him.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kfi
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
We have Brian Fantasy with us.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
He is the chief of the Orange County Fire Authority
and he's our next guest chief.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
How are you, sir?
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Good tim Great to hear from you.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
But you know, I tape the newscast.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I tape you know, two, four or five, seven, nine
to eleven, and I try to look at all of them,
and I caught just the tail end before my DVR stopped,
and there was a story there and I couldn't find
it online about you going to like Altadena to save
your brothers.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Or uncle's home.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Yeah, you know, CBS sixty minutes has got it on
YouTube too. They came and wanted to know more about
the fire, and I told them my personal story and
lo and behold they used it. But yeah, I grew
up in Altadena. My family, my brothers have a lot
of friends and still have family there. And my brother
(19:51):
is the person that we tell everybody not to be
that that stubborn person that does not evacuate right right.
Family left and their emotional I'm getting calls from them that,
you know, my brother wouldn't leave, and and then his
phone went dead, and it was about two three in
the morning, and so I jumped in the in the
car and drove up there, hoping not to find the worst.
(20:15):
And you know, it was pretty fortunate and that that
he did get out. He stayed way too long until
it scared the you know what out of him there.
And since I was there, I thought, since I could
get behind the obviously police lines, I'd go check on
his house. And it was tough to get there, but
his house and the whole one of the houses next
door was was still standing, but every other house was
(20:38):
fully involved. And so I worked for about an hour
to do what I could to prep up both houses
to survive that. And today they're the only two houses
probably within well definitely within eyeshot that you'll find there.
So he's pretty happy. He didn't lose his home, but
I think he's learned a valuable lesson too.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Yeah, you've been in the fire game for a long time.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
And on on the other end of it, you know,
people losing their homes, it's it's you know, devastating, But
the people who try to fight fires for a living.
For them to see, for your your co workers, your
your crews, for them to see house after house after
house burned down, that's got to be really depressing for
firefighters to go home and to have those thoughts in
(21:23):
their mind that they couldn't save these homes. That's their job,
and they probably felt like, like, you know, like they
were living their own small nightmare.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Tim. I am so glad that you recognize that. You're
probably the first one I've spoken to that really really
connected that way. And you're absolutely right. You know, firefighters
are problem solvers, and you know, we're called for anything.
If you don't note just called nine one one of
the fire department shows up. Well a couple things, you know,
this fire, what if you called nine to one one,
(21:53):
guess what, the fire department never showed up because there
was nobody to show up. That's pretty unusual, but for
the firefight fighters, You're right to experience that kind of loss.
No matter what you do, you're not able to stop
this fire because again, this fire, under those unique conditions
was unstoppable. Wouldn't have mattered how many engines, trucks, helicopters.
(22:16):
That fire was going to do what it was going
to do, whether nature had plans, and you know it's
no different. You know, the firefighters and others have been
criticized for not maybe doing a better job and stopping it.
But we don't hear firefighters getting criticized for not stopping
the hurricane. We're not stopping the tornado. I mean, this
(22:37):
is truly a weather event that was beyond human control.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Orange County Fire Chief Ryan fantasies with us.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
How do you balance the request from LA Fire and
LA County Fire for more crews from Orange County yet
keep enough cruise in Orange County to make sure that
your residents are safe.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Well the keyword and you said it is balanced. And
I think you and I have talked about it before.
The LA City Chief Crowley, LA County Chief Maronium, Venture
County Chief Gardner and I have a for lack of
veteror and informal agreement. We understand that the mutual aid system,
albeit robust, the process of requesting and receiving resource is
(23:20):
time consuming. It needs to be modernized and that will
be something that comes out of the outcome of this.
We need technology to assist us because it's not working.
And so what we've done is created after the twenty
eighteen Woolsey fire, where we saw significant life and property
loss our own what we call pick up the phone
and call a chief. And you know that morning Chief
(23:43):
Crowley called me and says, what can you send? I said,
I can send you fifteen twenty engines. I can send
you a helicopter to Hancrew right now. He said, I'll
take it. Where do you want. They're on the road
in five to ten minutes. She did the same with
La County, did the same with Ventura County. So we had,
you know, great surge going towards Pacific power Estates. In
addition to the resources that she had stood up not
(24:05):
only on our own but what Calo Wes provided. And
so you know, there is you know, some discussion about
we didn't have enough resources. Well, we had a lot
of resources, you know, and on a normal quote unquote
normal event, you know, might have had some success. This
was not a normal event. Also, what I have to
do because then they eaton fire started that night and
(24:27):
again it was phone a chief time, and I sent
more you know, engines and helicopters and boulded all the
stuff that we send. So we did a department recall.
We went into emergency operations, recalling off duty firefighters to
put on reserve rigs. These are apparatus that you know,
are used to replace those for maintenance and those sorts
(24:48):
of things that we have. I think thirty to forty
of them, and we put those back in the station
so that we can continue to deliver you know, all
our medical services, structure, fire services, and still be able
to rep bond to wildline fires. And you know, the wind,
the wind didn't stop blowing in La County. The wind
was howling here in Orange County in Riverside. We're just
(25:09):
lucky that we did not have an ignition.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yeah, I've never seen a thing like that. Chief when
when And I'm glad that the Chief Crowley called you personally.
I think that's very important to get a personal call
like that. Not it wasn't delegated to somebody else she
called you personally, I think that's terrific. But when you
send you know, fifteen to twenty trucks, what is the
logistics of that? Do they all meet at an area
where they all get together and then they're escorted by
(25:34):
the CHP or do they all meet in Los Angeles
at a certain area?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
How does that? How does that work?
Speaker 5 (25:39):
So they're you know what we ordered by strike team
and a strike team an engine. Strike team is five
engines and a leader. So a battalion chief normally in
a you know, battalion suburban or or pickup truck, one
of those things, and they can they can rally it
in one point and then and then travel in together,
you know, as a train, or they can show up
piecemea because you want them quick. The whole idea obviously
(26:03):
is speed. And again I go back to the current
system that needs modernization. It is not built for speed.
And that's what we learned in Woolsey and why we've
taken we've taken the matter into our own hands. It's
not something that I think the Forest Service really appreciates.
It managed the system because they got to reconcile it later. Well,
what it does for us. It allows us if I
(26:25):
got a fire in Orange County and you know I
had to call you crowdly back and say, look, I
got to pull my stuff back. We just got a fire,
should go okay. You know, we were actually managing it.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
And so.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
It's worked out very well where we in Orange County
got resources for them and Tour County's got stuff from us.
It's worked very well, but it is not the way
to do business in the modern day. So that is
going to be a big focus of our post action
decisions and the fire Scope Board of Directors will be
looking at that on January twenty third on Riverside County
(27:00):
and coming up with needs, you know, whether it be
equipment processes, those sorts of things.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Jeez, I know you're busy man.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Whatever I get you on the phone, though, I always
want to ask you about the fire crew that had
the accident on the two forty one when it flipped
over there was a ladder in the middle of the highway.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
There any updates on these brave young men.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Well, thank you. I mean that means a lot to
me personally, Tim, and I know it will for all
of our people listening to this. And yeah, you know,
most of them are trickling back to or have gotten
to work back to work. There's still one of our
firefighters that well two of them, I mean really significant
major injuries. One is in Colorado right now at a
(27:43):
rehab center and his progress, albeit steady, is certainly slow
and it's going to be a long time. And the
second firefighter that was in Colorado we welcomed back several
weeks ago. Good you know, he was hurt gravely, who
came back walking on his own, and so we have
(28:04):
great hopes for both of them. But it means a
lot to me, again, Tim, personally, that you even asked.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
These are the best men and women in the world.
I appreciate you coming on. God bless you. The whole
crew down there be safe and we'd love to check
back with you again shortly anytime. Thank you, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Chief Orange County Fire Chief Brian Fantasy protecting Orange County
and right sitting right next to the phone, and anytime
LA needs help, he's sending truck after truck after airplane
after our helicopter ambulances everything we need.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
So thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Thank to Orange County Fire Authority and Chief Brian fantasy.
Speaker 7 (28:42):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demaya from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Think about this last night, you know, when they were
talking about red tape and building homes back in Alta, Dina,
the Eaton Fire Area, parts of Arcadia, parts of Pasadena,
and then out to the Palisades and Malibu. I've recorded,
I record a bunch of shows on TV. I watched
mainly news and sports. But one of my favorite shows,
and I don't know why I get sometimes I get
(29:12):
emotional over the show, but I watch it. My wife
watches it with me, my daughter watches it. And it's
a show called Extreme Makeover where they tear a guy's
house down.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
They ask them what they want.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
They're usually you know, a mother, maybe a single mom
who has like three kids, and one of the kids
is you know, a little fuzzy, and they rebuild the
entire home. They tear it down. They have a ton
of people working on it, and they erect this home
and they build it in a week. They tear down
(29:51):
the old home, level it, put down new footings, put
down you know, you know, put up new walls. I
everything's new, the electric, the plumbing, the roof, the appliances.
Everything is brand new. They put the house together and
they furnish it. All the wall coverings are on, all
(30:14):
the paintings, the window coverings, the new windows, the doors,
the lawn in the back or the pool or whatever
that's been. You know, they brought out, sawed or reseated it.
There's new plants around, there's a new fence around, and
they do it in a week.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
A week now.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
I know it's TV, and it may be longer than
a week, and they don't really say a week, but
I think it's a week, and maybe it's a week
and a half. And we all think it's seven days
watching the show, but maybe it's seven days.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I think we need the Extreme Makeover people to come
out and start rebuilding these homes one by one, one
by one, or at least show us how you do that,
Show us how that's done. How many people do you
have working on it?
Speaker 11 (31:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Do you ever watch that show, Crosier, that Extreme Makeover?
I think I might have seen one or two when
it first came out, like what.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Twenty Yeah, that's right, long time ago. You watch up
Bella that Extreme Makeover.
Speaker 8 (31:14):
I know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Yeah, they rebuilt a home in a week of it.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
I heard that's Angel's favorite show.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Though.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Angels said, I love it.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
I watch it all the time.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
I do too.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Hey, on a serious note, here, what did you say?
I thought it was dreaming. Here another nightmare? You say,
we have a jumper?
Speaker 8 (31:34):
There was one.
Speaker 12 (31:37):
It looks like they have brought the person to safety.
But it was in downtown along the one ten near
Fifth Street. So that overpass at fifth and fourth Street,
there's an off ramp there.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
And match opened up again.
Speaker 12 (31:51):
Yeah, traffic was pretty stopped up there in both directions,
but it appears to be open. All of the information disappeared,
so it and I'm still seeing traffic rolling through, so
the freeway is not closed.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Okay, all right, I here, thank you very much. Here's
Jay Lenno on with Anderson Cooper. And when I first
saw Jay being interviewed with Anderson Cooper, I thought this
is gonna be very difficult for this guy because he's
a comedian. He's a funny guy. He always keeps things light,
and now he's got to talk about this very serious topic.
(32:27):
But I never would have guessed what this guy drove
to the location to talk about the firefight. You're not
gonna believe this. Jay Leno the car that he decided
to take with him to go help people with hot meals.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
And a barbecue.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
I wants you to meet Jay Leno. You came by
to drop off some supplies.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
We're cooking for the for the crew.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Very nice of him.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
He's cooking for the crew hot meals instead of box
lunches for.
Speaker 10 (32:56):
The crew, and well, you guys, if you're hungry wet,
we've got a big barbecue going because you know, though,
I'm getting box lunches and we figure, let's get some
hot food. So it's kind of fun. I drove a
nineteen forty one America a France fire truck.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
So guy's got you brought your own.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Fire troup, my own fire He brought his own fire truck.
He brought a nineteen forty one fire truck with him.
Speaker 10 (33:16):
You brought your own fire trip, my own file. It's
good to have your own fire truck.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
When you live in LA and nineteen forty one forty one.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Yeah, yeah, he's the only guy that could do that
and not be considered a huge a hole. There's only
one guy in LA that can show up to a
fire in his own nineteen forty one fire truck and
everyone's happy to see him, and nobody thinks he's an
a hole. You tell me one other person, one of
the man or woman in this, in this in this,
in this state, or in this country, that could show
up at a fire in a nineteen forty one fire
(33:45):
truck and not be laughed out of the area.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Nobody. Jay Letter is the only guy that could do this.
Speaker 10 (33:51):
So but anyway, so we've got it loaded up and
we cooked yesterday in Pasadena at the Rose Ball for
the crew there, and we're here today and we'll do it.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Some have locations next two or three days.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
Y for you seen this, I mean you're a longtime
resident here, you know.
Speaker 10 (34:05):
It's it's unbelievable. It's the biggest natural disaster. Not that
nine to eleven was a natural disaster, but it's literally
on that scale. I mean it's ten thousand buildings. I mean,
you can't even if you drove all day, you couldn't
see ten thousand bys. I mean you get on that
hill and you look for miles and there's nothing. It
looks like Hiroshima or just some horrible thing. But you know,
(34:28):
the sense of community, neighbors meeting neighbors never met before,
and people all pitching in. I mean, I tried to
look at the bright side of things.
Speaker 11 (34:35):
It is true though, I mean, you see them. The
sheriff was just on talking about, you know, the rest
for looters. There's some thirty or so in La County.
What you hear of more, I mean, obviously that's an
awful thing. What you hear of more is neighbors helping neighbors,
people who didn't even know each other before, right.
Speaker 10 (34:49):
I mean it's a shame and has to come to that.
I mean the last time, remember was nine eleven, Remember
President Bush, we all to get together and the sense
of community for three or four days, everybody put aside
their political belief and who's on your lawn on a
sign and all that nonsense.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
And it's happening here today.
Speaker 10 (35:05):
I mean it's a shame, that's what it takes.
Speaker 11 (35:07):
But it's interesting you say that because you know next
week there's you know, the inauguration and everything.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
I don't even want to go back to the world
of politics.
Speaker 11 (35:14):
I mean, what's happening here is so real and so
pure and so important of people connecting and loving each
other and remembering that we are all part of a community.
Speaker 10 (35:26):
Yeah, I think that's that's really true. I mean, it's
an entire city wiped out. I mean Pacific p lets
say it's it doesn't exist and probably won't exist the
next five six years.
Speaker 6 (35:36):
Probably.
Speaker 10 (35:36):
I don't know how you rebuilding this. It's one hundred
and sixty billion dollars. There's no ensuring company in the
world have that much money. So, I mean, the problems
will be insurmountable, but we'll get through it. We always
do well.
Speaker 6 (35:49):
I love what you're doing. It's really a pleasure to
see you.
Speaker 10 (35:51):
Thanks to see so I'm sorry for the circumstances.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Jay Leno on with Anderson Cooper on CNN. All Right,
lots more information. It looks like most these fires are out.
If you drive around Los Angeles, you can't see any smoke.
There's a fire burning up Inventor. It looks like they
have a pretty good handle on that. But we've got
a lot of fire equipment here from out of state,
from out of the country. We've had offers from Africa,
(36:16):
from Mexico, even Ukraine has offered to send fire cruise.
So we've got everybody here in LA and we're all set.
It probably is the safest place to be now in
the United States. And so you can rest tonight knowing
that these guys they've got you covered. Conway Show on
