Eyewitness News Reporter Josh Einiger reports from Los Angeles on the California wildfires
NEW YORK (WABC) -- Eyewitness News Reporter Josh Einiger is traveling to California to cover the Los Angeles wildfires.
Einiger will report on the ground in California as first responders continue to fight the flames burning in the Los Angeles area.
Firefighters scrambled Sunday to make further progress against wildfires that have killed 16 people in the Los Angeles area as forecasters again warned of dangerous weather with the return of strong winds this week. At least 16 people were missing, and authorities said that number was expected to rise.

The National Weather Service issued red flag warnings for severe fire conditions through Wednesday, with sustained winds of 50 mph (80 kph) and gusts in the mountains reaching 70 mph (113 kph). The most dangerous day will be Tuesday, said weather service meteorologist Rich Thompson.
"You're going to have really strong gusty Santa Ana winds, a very dry atmosphere and still very dry brush, so we still have some very critical fire weather conditions out there," Thompson said at a community meeting Saturday night.
You can catch Einiger's live reports on the California wildfires starting at Eyewitness News at 5 p.m. on Sunday.
