We are in the northeast section of the Sonoma Valley. Just to give you a lay of the land, were about two miles from the sonoma town square. I have to tell you, an army of firefighters are here this morning trying to keep this fire from spreading any farther. But at this point the winds seem to be having the upper hand in this battle. Weve got firefighters stationed in every quadrant of this neighborhood, trying to protect any further structures from burning. I counted at least 50 fire trucks parked probably about a block from where we are right now. The flames are coming down from the hills. Hills probably about four blocks away from where we are now. This is castle road. This used to be a home, perhaps a ranch here, again, about two miles, mile and a half from the center of the town of shell Vista Fire Department is two blocks away.

Weve been told to exit the area, the embers are starting to catch the trees on the other side of the street on fire, a very tense situation for firefighters all around us. The firefight has just begun. The firefighters say they intend to get the upper hand on it. Well see if that happens. Were live near the town of sonoma, Cornell Barnard, abc 7 news.

The strong northeast gusty winds fanning the flames there for the fires. Were looking at warm weather today, in fact five to ten degrees warmer than average. So critical fire weather this morning. The winds will dial back later today. Already look how much warmer it is in napa and fairfield. This is where we have the winds, from 20 to 30 miles an hour. So looking at the valleys for those winds to pick up a little bit later, after sunrise.

But still youll notice that smoky haze. High fire danger, gusty winds this morning. Looking at the smoky skies through the weekend. Chance of showers comes our way thursday and friday with much cooler temperatures. Here is fairfield, the wind profile for the day today, starting at 7 00 in the morning. Notice how breezy it is. And then by about 1 00, the winds will decrease and they get very light by the evening hours. Today, this morning looks like the most critical time period with less wind into your sunday. The rest of the bay area looking at 8 00. Once again, notice the color contours from napa to fairfield, thats where the winds continue to be quite strong out of the north, pushing the perhaps fires and the smoke down through the south. And looking at the winds abating and dialing back by the evening hours. We will be looking at the humidity, in fact decreasing significantly. Right now were at 63 santa rosa as well as oakland.

Cal fire certainly workin with local agencies to get the word out about this evacuation. Whats cal fire doing right now in terms of getting into place and in terms of monitoring these fires . We have multiple units out right now. Knowing this was predicted wind event from yesterdays briefing, so we have units out monitoring and patrolling as well as actually working on the fire itself. Mark, sometimes people get the Evacuation Order, they tend to linger around.

Again, Evacuation Orders listed on the ticker on the scr announcer now from abc 7, live breaking news. Thanks for joining us. Im chris nguyen. Were getting a first look at frantic evacuation efforts just after the north bay fire started to explode in santa rosa on sunday night. We just received word of new mandatory evacuations. The sonoma Sheriffs Office says you must leave immediately if you live in highway 12 between adobe canyon road in kenwood and calistoga road in santa rosa. This includes both sides of highway 12, skyhawk, mountain hawk, and much of rincon valley. Also, new mandatory evacuations in the Sonoma Valley. The Sheriffs Office says you must evacuate immediately if youre in the following areas. Take a look at your screen. 7th street east from east napa street to denmark street. Also the north side of denmark street from 7th street east to napa road. Some of the new mandatory evacuations also include 8th street east north of denmark, east macarthur street east of 7th. Also quail run way and hamblin road. The wind may be driving the flames in these areas, so the Sheriffs Office is urging you to evacuate immediately. And throughout the morning, if you looked at the bottom of the your screen, were scrolling information on all Evacuation Orders in effect right now. Lets send things over to meteorologist lisa argen, shes been tracking the wind conditions in the north bay as these firefighters do their jobs. They certainly have a tough task ahead of them, lisa. Thats right, chris. Those winds will increase in the valley. Were already looking at gusty winds in the upper elevations, 40 to 50 miles an hour right now over by mt. Diablo. Looking at 60mileperhour winds a possibility. The humidity decreasing to as low as 10 . The red flag warning throughout the north bay, 10 to 15 relative humidity. This is how these fires spread. Look at the wind direction. Its out of the north. Atlas peak, out of north, a gust of 19. 20mileperhour winds at mt. Tam. In the next several hours, smoke pushing from the south and the possibility of fires spreading. The winds gusting to the delta at 32 right now. As we look at the surface, theyre not as breezy. But we will see the winds increase at the surface. This could also bring down power lines and topple some of those trees. The air quality, unhealthy almost everywhere today. We get an improvement tomorrow as the winds dial back a bit, then into monday and tuesday its looking even better. So with the erratic winds, the gusty northeast winds, were 60 in the city, 64 by the delta. Your forecast today calls for temperatures to be as much as 5 to 10 degrees above average today with those hazy skies, chris. Lisa, thank you. Joining us on the phone is abc 7 News Reporter cornell bernard. Cornell, in the last report, last live report, we saw those flying embers, you had to leave the live shot location because the flames were too intense. Were looking on the screen at conditions you were faced with. Reporter chris, were about a half mile away from where we last talked to you. We can tell you, sadly, several homes in that area have burned, as the fire comes over the ridge closer and closer to the town of sonoma, hence the Evacuation Order, the mandatory Evacuation Order which was issued several hours ago. We have not seen anyone who lives in this neighborhood. It appears that everyone who had to get out has left, has heeded that warning. We are, like i said, about a half mile from castle road now. I have to tell you, as the crow flies were about a mile from the town square of the town of sonoma. Folks know that very historic area. A firefight, a major firefight is now on to protect homes in the Sonoma Valley and the town of sonoma. This is a very, very serious situation. If you hear my voice right now, if you live in the area, you need to leave if you are in the mandatory evacuation zone. And you may, if youre not in the mandatory evacuation zone, you just need to keep watching abc 7 for the latest and any advisories which may come down. This is a fluid situation. This is everchanging. I cannot tell you what street we are on right now. We were off napa street, just a couple of minutes ago. We are in that vicinity. I can see an orange glow coming over the ridge as this fire continues to march forward. Were hearing helicopters in the air. We are seeing firefighters just about every street. Theres an army of firefighters who are ready to extinguish t et flames if they get too close. Like i said, several homes have burned in the area. It is unclear, because its just too dangerous to get in there, how many homes exactly have burned. We can see the fire coming over the ridge toward us here in the valley of the moon. Chris, that is the very latest. Well send it back to you. Cornell, you mentioned that several homes have burned, also that massive response from cal fire in the last half hour. So in that particular area of Sonoma County near Lovall Valley road where you were stationed earlier, have those fire crews stayed on the scene or did they have to retreat . Reporter were seeing very little water put on that one particular home that we saw burning on castle road. This is probably 30 minutes ago now. The priorities unfortunately are just too important in other areas. So the firefights on the fire line to prevent the fire from spreading any farther seems to be the main priority right now. Saving homes, of course theyre doing that if they can. Weve seen several firefighters parked in driveways in this area, ready to protect the homes if need be. You know, in an emergency situation like that, you have to really pick your poison and figure out where your efforts are going to be best served. In this case, it is in the wilderness area. Again, just a couple of blocks from where we are is wild land, is where the fire is coming down. That is the situation. And obviously a very dire situation, as the flames continue to march forward into this populated area. And cornell, i can only imagine that it must be so hard to breathe right now, with all of those flames. There we go, we just heard you cough. Reporter it really is. Weve been up in the fire lines all week. This is the thickest smoke ive been breathing. Ive seen the air right now. There is a Crescent Moon in the air right now, in the sky, and you can barely see it because the smoke from this fire is so thick. It is kicking up a lot of smoke even here before sunrise. I can see the smoke in the air. The flames sort of lighting up the entire ridge as the flames march ever closer to this populated area. All right, cornell, thank you so much for that live report. So on the screen right now, these are the new mandatory evacuations in place in sonoma. Here they are on the screen. 7th street east. Denmark street. 8th street east. East macarthur street. Quail run way. And hamblin road. So again, if youre in these areas, the Sonoma CountySheriffs Office says you need to evacuate. There is no time to be wasted. I also want to talk about evacuations that are in place from santa rosa. Police just tweeting this out moments ago, that there is a mandatory fire section east of calistoga road to the city limits, and north of mellita road to city limits. This also includes skyhawk, oakmont, and much of rincon valley. Still ahead on abc 7 mornings, a north Bay Community is banding together during this devastating time.

Also the north side of denmark from 7th street east to napa road. New mandatory evacuations also include 8th street east north of denmark, east macarthur street east of 7th as well as quail run way and hamblin road. Again, the wind the big factor here this morning. The wind could be driving those flames. So thats why the Sheriffs Office is urging you to evacuate immediately. And throughout the morning were going to keep up the that ticker you see scrolling at the bottom of the screen with the latest evacuation advisories and orders. Meteorologist lisa argen has been here and, wow, just an incredible scene up there right now. Certainly scary with the winds increasing throughout the morning hours. Not only in the upper elevations but down around the valley as well. So were looking at those northeasterly offshore winds blowing the camera, blowing the smoke into the east bay as well. So right now were at 51 in hayward, 45 in san ramon, 60 in san francisco. Poor air quality today, critical fire weather. A warming trend. We do have rain in the forecast, stay with us. Welcome back, everyone. We continue to track breaking news out of Sonoma Valley. Were taking a look at this new video of flames being fueled by winds on Lovall Valley road,ad, incredible images coming out of the region right now. You see the wind is picking up, flying embers making it so dangerous for people to be out right now. These images really painting the picture, exactly why Sonoma CountySheriffs Office officials want you to get out if you live, again, in certain areas that have been impacted. Weve been telling you about these areas all throughout the morning. And we continue to put them on the ticker at the bottom of the screen. Also if you have a mobile device, make sure to download the abc 7 news app, because we are pushing out the latest information as soon as we get it. Also, so we want to talk about, really quickly, lets put the map back up on the screen, this is what was issued at 2 20 this morning. The Sonoma CountySheriffs Office saying residents need to evacuate 7th street east from east napa street to denmark street. Also the north side of denmark street from 7th street east to napa road. 8th street east, north of denmark street. East macarthur street, east of 7th street. As well as quail run way and hamblin road. All right. Time right now, 5 47. Joining us now on the phone is jan sanders. She is from clear lake park. Her daughter is being evacuated from lake county right now. We just received a nixle alert in the past 15 minutes about this area. Its the Spring Valley area. And there is a wildfire burning there right now. The mandatory vexes have been ordered for all residents who live in the Spring Valley and new long valley area. So jan, good morning to you. What are you hearing from your daughter . Good morning, chris. My daughter is on her way to my house in clear lake park. My husband and i were evacuated from here just during the sulphur fire. We were gone for about four days. Now shes being evacuated from Spring Valley. The fire is in new long valley which is just over the hill from Spring Valley excuse me, old long valley. Theres no exit from Spring Valley. Theres only one way in. So the fire reaches the entrance of Spring Valley, theyre trapped. So shes heading out, shes coming here. And theres about at least a thousand people that live out there that have livestock, cattle, horses, you name it. So if that fire takes off, its going to be bad. Lake county has already been hit hard, the valley fire, the rocky fire, the clayton fire. Im a native napan, im from napa, im watching my hometown burn. The whole thing has been heartbreaking and horrible. I dont have any words, really, no words. Its been one disaster after another. One after another. Ive had friends that lost homes. My husbands friend from high school lost his home in the coffey neighborhood in santa rosa. My favorite doctor is in san assistant. My Family Doctor is in santa rosa. My Family Doctors in calistoga, i mean. And my spine surgeon is in santa rosa. I dont know how im going to get to either one of them because im in lake county. Its really awful. Its like a demon, thats what we call it in lake county, demon fires. Thousands of people have been evacuated. Jan, real quickly, obviously so you were evacuated during the sulphur fire. Your daughter is now being evacuated in relation to this fire in the Spring Valley area of lake county. Yes. I know this is going to sound like an obvious question, but what have you been telling her, you know, what kind of advice have you been giving her besides, when they tell you to evacuate, you need to get out . Oh, my daughter is very smart, shes 38 years old and shes very prepared. Thats why she called us at 5 30 and said, we are going, we are getting out. So and her best friend is the fire chief, so shes very, you know, capable of getting herself together. I just didnt know if you all knew there is a new fire and new evacuations happening here in lake county.

Jan, thank you so much for sharing your perspective with us live on the air this morning. Well continue to keep you and your family in our certainly in our thoughts. We want to turn now to abc 7 News ReporterCornell Barnard in Sonoma County. Cornell, where are you at, and whats the latest going on out there . Reporter chris, were on Lovall Valley road here in Sonoma County. Weve been talking the mandatory evacuations all morning long. This is the reason why. Flames are now visible on this ridge. They have been visible really for the last couple of hours. They are about five miles from where we are right now. But way too close as far as firefighters are concerned. And patrick sedillo, if we can just pan to the right, we can see flames in another part of this valley right now. If youre wondering where i am, this is the northeast section of Sonoma Valley. As the crow flies, we are a couple of miles from the Historic Downtown sonoma square. In fact were seeing some massive flames up there on the ridge right now, about five miles from where we are. Sadly, embers from this fire, according to firefighters, have caught several homes on fire. We witnessed that in the last hour over on castle road, we saw several homes burning. There were some firefighters just monitoring the fire, monitoring that house fire, and keeping watch on other properties in the area. But the real firefight is on the front lines here in this wild land fire. Smoke and flames, i think we might be showing that video right now. Smoke and flames from this one particular home on castle road, just pretty incredible. And firefighters again were telling everyone, as far as telling us that we just needed to back off. We certainly did. As far as folks who live in the area, people who live in the area, we have come across several people who said they have been warned several times to get out. In fact we just met a man were showing some more flames here on the ridge, lets come back live and show these really a wall of flames that continues to lap this ridge in the northeast section of Sonoma Valley, not far from the town of sonoma and not far from populated areas. Lots of homes, lots of vineyards in this area. Lets get back to my last thought, we were talking to a man sitting in his car, in his driveway, and i said, sir, why are you still here, theres a mandatory evacuation, how many times have you been told . He said, nine times he had been told, nine times, to get out of his home by the Sheriffs Department. In fact i believe we have a Sheriffs Office passing by here right now. We heard on loudspeaker, maybe 35 minutes ago, telling people to get out. Hopefully, and it looks like that is the case, folks have heeded the warning. We havent seen hide nor hair of really anyone in the neighborhood except that one particular man sitting in his car in his driveway. He did want to show us the smoke and flames on the ridge, we said yeah, weve seen them. He said he is going to stay in his home and just monitor the situation. Again, very, very serious situation. Weve got firefighters, an army of firefighters pretty much all around us on the ridge, in the neighborhoods, in the populated areas, trying to prevent this wall of flames from getting any closer. That is the very latest from Sonoma Valley, Cornell Barnard, abc 7 news. Cornell, well see you good saturday morning to you. You can see the camera shaking here.

Your day planner calling for temperatures in the 40s this morning with hazy sunshine. We will have that spare the air alert for unhealthy air throughout the day today. Through the entire bay area except for the santa clara region. Mid80s here. The winds relax by the afternoon. So the critical winds from now until noontime.
