I figured it out, although if there is no widgets to display it will be blank. This is in my footer.php:

<div class="footer-1">
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
      || !dynamic_sidebar('footer-1') ) : ?>
     <?php endif; ?>
   </div>
<div class="footer-2">
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
      || !dynamic_sidebar('footer-2') ) : ?>
     <?php endif; ?>
   </div>
<div class="footer-3">
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
      || !dynamic_sidebar('footer-3') ) : ?>
     <?php endif; ?>
   </div>
 <div class="footer-4">
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
      || !dynamic_sidebar('footer-4') ) : ?>
     <?php endif; ?>
   </div>
