AND MATT, WE SAW THIS FROM THE. AIR WHEN WE WERE THERE LAST. WEEK, BUT TONIGHT, THIS IS THE. FIRST VIEW FROM THE WATER, AND. YOU WERE SHOWING US BEFORE WE. CAME ON THE AIR HERE, IT IS. DEVASTATING. >> Reporter: IT ABSOLUTELY IS, DAVID. AND THE REASON WE'RE HERE PARKED. RIGHT OFF THE ICONIC PACIFIC. COAST HIGHWAY IS BECAUSE FOR THE. FIRST TIME, WE'VE BEEN GIVEN. PERMISSION TO FLY A DRONE OVER. THE RUINS OF MALIBU.

I WANT TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF. THE BREADTH AND A SCALE OF THE. DESTRUCTION. THOSE SEASIDE HOMES ABSOLUTELY. GUTTED BY THAT FIRE WHICH. CREEPED UP THE HILL. YOU CAN SEE THE BURN SCARS UP. THERE, AS WELL. BUT IT ALSO GIVES YOU A SENSE OF. THE MONUMENTAL EFFORT TO TRY TO. RESTORE SERVICES HERE. GAS, ELECTRICITY, WATER, AND ALL. OF THAT MADE POSSIBLE BY. IMPROVING CONDITIONS TODAY, WHICH ARE SET TO CONTINUE. THROUGH THE WEEKEND. TONIGHT, ACROSS SOUTHERN. CALIFORNIA, A BRIEF BREAK IN THE. FIRE CONDITIONS THAT HAVE. PLAGUED THE REGION FOR MORE THAN.

A WEEK NOW, GIVING BATTERED. FIREFIGHTERS AND COMMUNITIES A. CHANCE TO CATCH THEIR BREATH. BUT NOW, A NEW DANGER LOOMING. THIS HOME IN PACIFIC PALISADES.

HAVE BURNED. >> Reporter: THIS STUFF IS LIKE. QUICKSAND. AT THE EATON FIRE, WE SAW HOW. THE FLAMES HAD BAKED HARD-PACKED. EARTH INTO SAND. THE FLAMES HAVE BURNED SO MUCH. VEGETATION, THEY'RE NOW.

AGO, WE LEARNED THAT MANDATORY. EVACUATION ORDERS OVER SEVERAL. AREAS OF THESE FIRES HAVE JUST. BEEN LIFTED. THAT MEANS THAT PEOPLE CAN GO. BACK HOME. BUT THERE'S CONCERN THAT BECAUSE.
