They ran into a freemont crew a short time ago. An oakland crew up the way so everybody is pitching in to try get the situation contained. Reporting live, im jodi, hernande hernandez. Fire crews across the bay area and Southern California helping the cause here. Were getting this new video in from the destruction. Youre looking at whats left of a home outside of windsor. A chimney there and some ashes even though so many homes were lost, neighbors are calling firefighters heroes for all that they were able to do and should mention, again, no reported deaths and no people missing at this point which is great news. Coming up at 6 00, nbc bay area will have more from this path of destruction of this fire. A couple who lost everything two years ago in the tubbs fire built their dream house and once again are in path of the fire. Thick smoke surrounds the home they moved in to just two months ago. They say this time they were warned and have their cars packed, ready the go. When the tubbs fire roared into their neighborhood two years ago they barely escaped with their lives. We just have to keep reminding ourselves that were survivors. We survivored the fire of october 2017 and this one takes on, too, well be survivors.

The fire is in Sonoma County but we can still see smoke. This is a time lapsed video from pg e cameras. Lets bring in our meteorologist who has been tracking the conditions since this broke out last wednesday night. What comes ahead . The last thing we need right now. More wind gusts continues to show up in that weather forecast. I wanted to start off with a look at whats happening right now at the kincade fire. We did see more of a southerly wind today. That helps the fire to really push back on itself. There is some good news. Wind gusts of only 20 miles an hour. Temperature is 69 degrees but low humidity at 14 . I think really the largest danger continues to be in the locations that are under ev evacuatio evacuations. I want you to be on watch here. We have lots of hot spots that have been off to the north and were looking at 45 to 60 miles an hour wind gusts out of the north which next wind event that could blow some embers your way. Here is the deal. Tonight not much wind in the forecast. As we move through tomorrow, 3 00, it begins to build in from Northern California. Then i think were back in it with that wind by 11 00 p. M.

Its a drill in this area that people are becoming very familiar with. Fire evacuees have filled the usual shelter locations like county fairgrounds or community centers. In petaluma they are taking in evacue evacuees. We want to be known as people who serve in our community. I think as christians being a servant its who we are supposed to be. Reporter wanting to help but knowing how to help are two different things. Learn to be more precise with their wish list. One of the biggest things the community is generous is the donations are like overwhelming and so this time realizing that we actually need to be more specific and strategic in the donations that we need. Reporter water, nonperishable food and blankets are welcome. Used clothing not such a good idea. People are generous here like adrian martinez, an evacuee himself with the day off. He called his boss asking how to help. He delivered boxes of water. I was involved in the fire two years ago. I was waking up at 1 30, 2 00 many the morning feeling helpless.

Later he was going to meet with First Responders and a little later he was supposed to be doing another News Conference in this area.
