Spot fires burning in every direction, how do we stay on top of this . It is a full force engagement. Resource ors resources and Northern California are here. We are at the mercy of the weather. The wind is making a serious push and that is out of our ntro an t inont of and toco get the f way and make a stand where we can. Do have structures and cones and neighborhoods . It is impacted quite a bit of the greater san jose area. We know that structures have been destroyed and damaged. Its way too early to tell if that is a high number or loan number. We are in the orgy early stages of this. Its life preservation and evacuation, as we speak. Have youeard of injuries . I cant confirm any injuries. Things are so dynamic that that news will come up as the day goes on. This fire has made a hard push overnight and pushed into the city of santa rosa and it is really challenging firefighters. It hit an apartment building. I wouldnt be surprised numerous structures and we can confirm theyve been impacted, damaged and destroyed. Eventually, we will get a very good assessment and get the exact locations. Right now, i cant stress enough that we are in the initial attacks of these firefights. [siren] you can hear the sirens. You people dont feel safe to get out, they need to reach out for help. [siren] i dont know about the downtown. Get to a place where they feel safe, thats the most important part. Is there any containment at all . Way too early to get that number out. We will update when we get some good numbers. We are in the initial attack. This is been a full firefight. You will be notified. What is the strategy, right now . The strategy is to get ahead of the fire and move people out of the way and make stands around structures where they can. We are at the mercy of this weather and they are using tactics which they go structure to structure, its called prep and go. They prep it and then get out. Reporter at Kaiser Permanente, we see patients being evacuated and there is a Santa Rosa City bus trying to get out the more ambulatory patients. What are you doing in terms of evacuating kaiser and sutter . The hospitals are being evacuated. There is an evacuation plan they are following. With the details, they are engaged in the evacuation. How close to the fire is it to Kaiser Permanente . You can see the structure, is less than one half mile from the hospital. Thank you so much for talking with us this morning. Yes. We were just hearing a live update from cal fire this morning and the fires have been burning since 10 00 last night. That is seven hours ago and yet he is still calling this a dire situation, dynamic situation, as far as containing the fires. The main priority is to get residents out of harms way and we were talking about those evacuations under way right now at Kaiser Hospital. Also, sutter hospital in santa rosa. We have Katie Nielsen live at kaiser and youve experienced a very frantic situation at that hospital. People evacuating patients in their own private cars. What can you tell us . Reporter what we were seeing when we first got here was patients being evacuated with nurses rolling hospital beds out into a waiting ambulances. The most critical patients were evacuated first. Now, you are seeing a number of buses at Kaiser Permanente off bicentennial and these are the less critical patients that are somewhat ambulatory that were here at the hospital and they are being evacuated now. We are told they are trying to take patients to other hospitals in the area. The problem is that sutter hospital has also been evacuated, as well. We are hearing some of these patients might be going to red cross shelters. Right now, we will take a look back over here where you can actually see the orange glow from above the hospital if you look to the left side. You can see the top of the hospital and the globe. On the other side of the freeway from where we are now, over on the other side of 101, we can see the fire burning up behind a parking garage at Kaiser Permanente and approaching the emergency room. Weve been told by local resident that right behind the hospital is a Mobile Home Park that goes up the hill. He said from where he was earlier, he could see it was a total loss with all kinds of ash and debris and everything raining down. All the patients coming out, nurses and everyone is Wearing Masks to try to help them breathe as they come through. We even saw nurses cleaning out their cars and getting patients into their own personal vehicles to try to get them out of this area. Again, number of ambulances coming through, trying to help get patients out of the hospital. Now, we have these buses and if you look to the left, there is another ambulance and every time this happens, there is a frenzy of activity. We will stay here and for now, back to you, Katie Nielsen, live in santa rosa. Thank you, katie. Heres another view of the fastmoving flames in napa with a live look at the orange glow we were seeing all over the area in santa rosa, atlas peak, calistoga, we know some of the wine Country Resorts have been evacuated including the silverado. We have kpix5 reporter, Wilson Walker, live on the phone. Wilson, whats going on . Reporter well, just listening to the briefing we heard and the response to the fire, the first thing they mentioned was we are at the mercy of the weather. He said we are trying to get ahead of the fire and get people out of the way. That is exactly what ive seen since ive been here. I havent seen anyone throwing water in any direction, it is just getting people out of the way of the fire. About the time you see where it is, it already is moving toward you. I also notice that more way patrols are getting here in the response you heard ghhia the response across Northern California they are all showing up. Highway patrol just showed up and i saw fire trucks heading west on 12 i guess that would be toward santa rosa and the scene you just saw but the fire, here, has pretty much burned through. The highway is relatively impassable and there are homes that are hanging on as the last pockets of the fire burnout. It has moved south, and theres quite a bit of destruction in this area, to be certain. Absolutely and the extent will become more apparent as the sun comes up th xtco hours. As withyoinu were saying and w from cal fire, a few minutes ago, the issue right now is really getting people out of the way and road closures are making it difficult. What are you seeing for the barriers to getting around that area . Downed power lines, road closures and the fire . Reporter the only downed power lines ive seen were in areas where fires burned. Roads are still clear and theres so much smoke and and and in the video, you can see that sparks are flying across the road. It is a little harrowing and the other thing, with the fires in so many different directions, which direction do you send everyone . The first thing i noticed, there was not really one direction you could go to get away from all of this. It was more where you happened to be at what moment and where you would drive. It was chaotic and quite frankly, i got the idea that the firefighters and the police were managing something and they are in the same boat as everyone else, making it up as they go along. And evolving situation. The fire has been spreading so quickly due to the weather conditions and we are talking about the smell of smoke, the degree of smoke in the air. Its incredibly smoky and awful to be in. Its everywhere. Just checking, i will see if i can get a better chance to see is what to see whats going on. We know that dozens of buildings and homes have been burned and there are likely to be injuries recorded when it is all said and done. Wilson walker between napa and sonoma counties. As we get more information, we will pass it along. Weve been talking about crews helping. Chp, as wilson mentioned, and Alameda County fire, we have teams of firefighters coming from all over Northern California going through that area to try to get people out of harms way. They will start this firefight, which will be a real challenge. These dangerous conditions, the perfect storm, it is difficult for firefighters. The embers are blowing all over. The wind is so intense. Some areas, the airports, 3040 milesanhour. On high jeff doppler, good sense of the smoke in the sky, tracking this, we are tracking smoke from santa rosa with this huge area of smoke impacting visibility and very dangerous over highway 12 and 29 and in vallejo, smoke is pushing in that direction. The areas of smoke, visibility was to the south, not bad and looking at the visibility, there are smoky conditions and we are dealing with smoke and northnortheast wind with dry air, dry conditions because of the wind coming from the north. In San Francisco, and Sonoma County, 3040 miles with humidity levels 1013 this morning and normally humidity levels ease up and get better. In terms of dryness, lets check in on the roads with jaclyn. We are tracking extra volume along 101. Taking a look at this, headlights are coming at you in the southbound correction. You can see a complete stop. South of santa rosa, all of these cars tend to evacuate and even trying to get off the exit, they are completely backed up. This is a big closure in effect along 101 between river road and bicentennial. Alternate routes, you can take river road and then college or highway 12 to go back east and head over to 105. The time is 5 14 and a fire is raging in napa and Sonoma County, forcing hundreds to spend the mornings in shelters. The very latest, straight ahead. Cbs eye on the community. Presented by target. Food has the power to transform lives. With the help of target, the San Francisco Marin Food Bank addresses hunger headon in the community. Our food pantries are vibrant. People feel welcomed, and theyre being respected. It helps our team members see the work that they do in the store every day. How that actually relates to their communities. Cbs eye on the community is sponsored by target. We are at Crosswalk Community church. About 350 evacuees are currently here. Take a look behind me. A lot of folks brought their animals, their dogs. The red cross is taking them all in at this time. It is pretty much at capacity. They can take a few more folks but they have opened up another Emergency Shelter at the napa county fairgrounds and the Napa Community college. The gymnasium will be an Evacuation Center for folks and we have food and water if you are in any of the areas that have been evacuated at Crosswalk Community church. We have a few more beds for folks, but it is pretty much at capacity with 350 people. I want to give you a sense of what has been evacuated. Old sonoma road, henry road, Wildhorse Valley road and these areas have all been evacuated. Also, the Silverado Country Club with a lot of folks there who basically got a really loud knock on the door from the sheriff who said to get out immediately. A couple we talked to earlier are still waiting to hear from their son, waiting to hear from their son who they cannot get hold of at this time. He lives in napa and they are trying to reach him. We lend to them our phone and it went straight to voicemail. They are still waiting to hear what is going on with him. Definitely a fast moving situation as folks try to get their heads around what is going on and if there property will still be there when they get back. Right now, they are not saying if it is contained. It doesnt look contained and they are battling wind and dry conditions. Its going to be a major battle this morning, as the sun comes up. We will learn more about the buildings and any injuries. Crosswalk community church, 350 folks. A few more beds are opened up but it is pretty much at capacity. Napa gelid napa college has their gymnasium open and you can go to the napa county fairgrounds. We are told those are not at capacity and probably the best places to go if you need to evacuate napa, at this point. Thank you, Jessica Flores live in napa. Also, Sonoma County fairgrounds Evacuation Center is open right now. Several are open throughout the north bay. Jessica showed us 350 people where she is. Thousands have been evacuated since the fires broke out at about 10 00. Jaclyn has been keeping an eye on traffic and that is a real mess. Thats right. They evacuate everyone and where do they go . The roadways are shut down and are continuing to be shut down. Its a very fluid situation. 101 is closed between river road and bicentennial. People are using surface roads like fulton and river road, to take them over to college or the highway 12. Highway 12 has many closures. This is 101 and highway 12 and traffic is nearly at a complete stop and it is crawling along southbound on 101 heading southbound, trying to get away from santa rosa. Extra cars are on the roadways. More closures at arnold and highway 12 and we have many closures along this stretch. For now, i will send it over for an update on the fires. The high jeff doppler from the sky, you can see the areas of the fire. Santa rosa has a patch of smoke. In napa, it is growing south toward vallejo. 29, 12, 101, all these areas impacted and a lot of people are waking up to the smell of smoke. The Current Conditions in sonoma, temperatures are 68 and humidity is down to 13 . The north and northeast winds, it is sustained at 14 and gusting as high as 39. The direction, we all smell that down in the bay area. The smoke is down in San Francisco and there is a wind advisory that ends at 11 00. The next few hours, intense winds will impact trees, power lines and power outages. Sustained wind is calm in places like fremont but oakland, 15 and to the north, napa has sustained winds at 14. Santa rosa just bumped up and constant wind with firefighters and it is dangerous because we are seeing video of ambers blowing. Futurecast shows 22 mileper hour winds gusting and strong over napa and fairfield. Watch this area in red. The intensity will continue through 7 00 this morning and by 8 00, 22 milesanhour sustained winds for napa and will calm down for santa rosa. Fairfield, still strong and by 9 00, napa would be having a slight break and then by 10 00 and 11 00 this morning, sustained wind will die down and thats what the firefighters will wait for. Its a tough battle with the winds blowing so strong. Later on, we will be provided relief. Red flag warnings tomorrow for north and east bay hills, Santa Cruz Mountains as well from the fire danger. This is a live look from the daca cam showing the area burning and the globe. Napa, visibility is four in petaluma, four. It is a lot worse and places closer to the areas of the fire with temperatures in santa rosa, 68 and san jose, 57. Livermore and oakland, as well and we will send it back to. We are talking about the smoke in the air and how it is traveling up to 75 miles south. People are reporting smelling smoke all across the bay and in the newsroom, people have stories of waking up and choking on smoke. Reporter these fires, just so we are clear, they are burning in napa and Sonoma County. Because of the strong winds fueling those fires, people in many parts of the bay area can smell that smoke. Dozens have taken to social media and smelling the smoke. If you believe your nose, you can be tricked into feeling the fires are closer than they are. Ashes falling in the sunset district. You can see the streets and a haze is hanging over the city. The San Francisco Fire Department has an Important Message saying that dozens have already reported smelling smoke and theyre asking people to close their windows and not to call 911 and unless they see a fire in the immediate area. San mateo officials have a similar message and said the smell of smoke is being reported as well. Only call 911 if there is an actual fire in your immediate area. Reporting in the newsroom, devin fehely, kpix5. Only call 911 if you have an emergency right in front of you. Otherwise, if you can hunker down in your house, that would be recommended. In santa rosa, several hospitals are being evacuated. We have katie nelson there. [siren] reporter right now, we are at Kaiser Permanente. Taking a look on centennial way, you can see patients in the lobby. [siren] there is a line coming outside and city buses are used to evacuate. If you look, you can actually see the orange glow of the fire burning directly behind the hospital. We talked with a Safety Officer a few minutes ago and she told us there are about 100 patients at Kaiser Permanente off bicentennial way that are being evacuated right now. Weve been seeing gurneys wheeled out with patients still in hospital beds as they are loaded into ambulances. We are told they would go to the san raphael Kaiser Permanente hospital for patients not supercritical. Those very critical patients will be going to memorial, here in santa rosa, on the other side of town. [siren] patients are not in as much danger. Right now, you are seeing patients onto city buses, the less critical patients in we will keep you updated as we learn more. Back to you. [siren] wildfires burning across napa and sonoma counties. A number of homes have been destroyed breaking news. A Major Development with authorities evacuating sutter hospital andkaer hospital in santa rosa. Im anne makovec. Jessica flores has been speaking with napa residents forced from their home in the dead of night. The tough conditions make it difficult for fire crews. Several hospitals have been evacuated. Reporter evacuations are under way. We are being told that all the patients from Kaiser Permanente in santa rosa will be taken to the kaiser sister hospital in san rafael. The most critical are being transported to memorial in santa rosa. The reason for this, if you look right behind the ambulance, you can see the orange glow from the fire directly behind the hospital and they do believe it is a very large threat to this community. There are a number of evacuations going on right now and we want to show you a little bit of those. What we are hearing from cal fire is the mandatory evacuations are on cross creek drive, Montecito Heights. Also, all residents north of Fountain Grove and east of horton road between river road and gardnerville. We want to hear you what pio said. A hard push, winddriven into santa rosa and you can see it is impacting hospitals in quite a few areas north of santa rosa including kaiser and some Mobile Home Parks and highway 101, as well. What we are in now is a life preservation mode to get people out of the area. This is our number one priority. All the firemen you see are trying to get people evacuated and to a safe place. Anyone out there that is evacuated, please dont leave your homes unless you are told to get off. If you are, leave immediately. We want to give you a list of mandatory evacuations. Cross creek road comma farm drive, Saint Andrews drive, Montecito Heights and any residents north of Fountain Grove parkway and east of fulton road between gurnerville and river road. Stanley Community Center had a center set up that was open to new people but unfortunately that is now full. Sonoma county fairgrounds, that is open for anyone who needs to bring in live animals and horses and things like that. We are at Kaiser Permanente and all 100 patients are being evacuated. The majority are being sent to the Kaiser Hospital in san rafael. Five in santa rosa, Katie Nielsen, kpix5. We or continuing coverage of the fastmoving wildfires that broke out on atlas peak road last night in napa county with at least five fires burng in napa and sonoma counties. Is also a fire in mendocino county. In santa rosa, calistoga, and the Evacuation Order is expanding since the fires broke out. Its all in the dead of night. People had authorities knocking on their doors telling them that they had seconds, not minutes to evacuate and grabbing what they could and then dealing with highway closures because because there have been different closures throughout the night with 101, 12, 37 and getting to Evacuation Centers has been a real challenge as fires spread. Firefighters have barely even dealt with containment. The fires are so out of control that they are just trying get people to safety and save lives. Theyre going to try to put the fire out later this morning. Weather conditions are not helping. High wind is blowing smoke from 75 miles to the south and wherever you are watching right now, from the bay area, you are going to be smelling the smoke and seeing debris. Weve been seeing it as far south as San Francisco. Weather conditions are not favorable. It should get better later on and as the sun comes up we will see more of the extent of the damage. At this point, its absolutely unclear. Dozens have homes have burned and a lot of wine country dozens of homes have been burned and a lot of wine we have Wilson Walker in betwee n nay. Pa and sonoma co coununties. What is going on . Reporter i took a little drive up napa road off highway 12 and made it a couple of miles and came across something the confusion there is a red pickup truck which is completely smashed in on the frontend, completely smashed up to the cab and im told by highway control that it read hit it ran headlong into a parked cruiser and i dont have specifics if this was during the evacuation or what the Patrol Officer was doing, but a violent collision on napa road unfortunately no one was in the cruiser that was pushed off the road into some trees. They couldnt find the driver of the truck but have since learned that the driver of the truck had checked himself into a nearby hospital. Somehow, he got out of the wreckage and got out of the area, maybe as the fire came through and checked himself into the hospital. With the amount of smoke and fire out here, driving is certainly difficult and my suspicion is that this is the result of that hazard. Wilson walker live for us along highway 12. Any change in the conditions . I know youve been dealing with smoke and debris and the ash raining down. What are you dealing with, now . Reporter the ground is fine. There is smoke and it is heavy smoke and and and soaked. There are small fires jumping over roadways. If you can get somewhere to see smoke, there are lines of fire burning through the field. Not so much the vineyards, the vineyards dont burn so much. There is groundcover with fire alarms in the distance moving south from highway 12 i will say that i think i just saw fire trucks heading into the field. Is the first thing that looks like they would do this, but my observation is watching this ride out to the field but the wind is so strong, only so much you can do here other than trying to get people out of the way. That has been going on for over seven hours. Containment does seem very far away and they are giving any numbers on that right now. Im getting a sense that what you are telling me is it is a chaotic situation where there isnt a handle on what roadways should be closed, at this point. It is sort of evolving and that would make driving around the area very dangerous. Are you getting the feeling people are all heading south . Yes. A lot of people have left, obviously. The first hour or two was particularly challenging. There was no real sense of where the fire was and when you saw it, you could say it was going with the wind, right . People had limited options depending on what side of the county line you were on. If you are east, you could have retreated back to napa and to the west, you may have gone to the west a little bit. Anyone in the middle, it was chaotic and hard to see. There was fire in every direction. A chaotic and evolving situation. People are asked to stay off the roadways if you dont need to immediately evacuate. Stay off the roadways and avoid calling 911 unless you have an emergency with flames close to your home. Do not call 911 only if you smell smoke. Wilson walker live near the border of napa and sonoma counties where the fires are burning. Lets go live to Jessica Flores at an Evacuation Center and she has been speaking with hundreds of people who had seconds to evacuate, getting a knock on their door at 1 00 a. M. Jessica . Reporter we are here at Crosswalk Community church and this is actually completely full. There are 350 folks here and robert has been here since about 1 00 a. M. He hasnt left and it has been a scary situation. We were watching the news at 10 00 and weve seen a fire in the area around atlas peak road, pretty close to us and we live near there. They said you should step outside and take a look and sure enough, flames were a couple of hundred feet high and a couple of miles away. We just e t and we ansat d here and saw tanks exploding. We waited for the next course of action and about 1 00 a. M. , the Sheriffs Department indicated we should evacuate. We ended up, from there, just trying to find out where the location was to go to an crosswalk was one of the locations to evacuate too. Weve been here since about 1 00 this morning, getting no sleep and waiting to see what happens. Hopefully, we will have a place to go back to. Right now, ive heard there are some pretty bad areas out there right now. You saw the flames a couple of hundred feet away and you hadnt seen them die down at all . The only time they really died down was when the smoke came down on top of us and up until then, the clouds were up high and smoke was up high and we saw flames and all of a sudden it crept down where we were living and became pretty much unbearable to breathe. Thats anoth reaserwewhy on th report we would have been left, anyway. It was too hard to breathe. We jumped across montecito and went over to the east hills and we headed this direction. Reporter you basically had grassy areas and hills behind your home. Really easy for the fire to rip threw these acres . Yes. Really, youve got vineyards and a lot of them have just gone through harvest and there was a lot of dry leaves and the vineyards have been dormant. A lot of dry foliage and dry right now. You can see we are in fall conditiond nsthe leaves ar right now. Rtthk you, robert, for talking to us. A lot of folks are not sure what will happen to their homes. Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys. We were just in this area and we could see flames, as well. Thanks for talking to us. This is Crosswalk Community church with 350 folks, pretty much at capacity. If you need to evacuate, we are told you should go to the napa county fairgrounds or go to Napa Valley College gymnasium. Theyve opened a third Evacuation Center there. This is a really dire situation. There are elderly folks and paramedics are standing by if there are issues. There is food and water and they have cots where people are trying to sleep right now. A very scary time, not knowing what will happen to their homes or not knowing what the devastation will be when they wake up. Jessica flores, kpix5. The information will be very slow to come in because firefighters are trying to deal with getting people out of the way of the fire before they begin to put it out or get a handle on the damage they are dealing with. I can only imagine the number of Evacuation Centers now open across these counties. Resources are thinly spread. Doesnt seem like the red cross can get enough stuff into that area, the shelter where you are, right now . Reporter yes. Weve actually seen a red cross reli red cross relief truck that is full of food and water. They have the resources they need and people are coming here. We are asking folks that they heare to volunteer. There are people volunteering to help out. The red cross is all hands on deck at these locations. The Napa Valley College jim, and the community church, your best bet if you need to evacuate with family or friends, it is to go to one of those locations at the napa fairgrounds or Napa Valley College gymnasium. Folks are being pretty good considering they dont know what happens. Theyre just trying to get through the night. They need to figure out the next step. Jessica flores live in napa and we just got word that the power has gone out at Kaiser Permanente high school in santa rosa, one of two hospitals in santa rosa that have been evacuated. We will hear more from katy nielsen. In the meantime, Neda Iranpour has been tracking the weather conditions, extremely challenging for firefighters. It is exactly the fuel for fires they have been dreading and warning us about since last week. We knew this would happen with north wind, the dry strong Wind Warnings have been issued in north bay hills and ive watched the wind speeds all morning. Right now, where the monitor is in napa, it is calm but north and west of the monitor, you can see the areas in orange and bright red and fires are burning. Several complex fires because the embers have been all over the place. Santa rosa, theres another fire and this area has not calmed down much at all and is not expected to for a few hours. At 7 00 this morning, you can see this burning strong and napa is getting strong and sustained wind. The gusting is much higher between 30 and 40 milesan hour. By 9 00, things should calm down and fairfield is strong. At 10 00, things may wind down and then it may be calm or with the wind advisory ending at 11 00. It is expected to be better later this afternoon but this morning, Mother Nature is working against them with downed trees and power lines. Smoke is coming in from the fires and you can actually see it. Lots of thick smoke affecting visibility and air quality. The direction of the wind is causing San Francisco to smell in tenth smoke. I will talk more about this as we continue to track this. Lets check the roadways with jaclyn. Highway 47 is completely shut down in both directions between 101 and interstate 80. For folks who need to get to and from 101, you will not use highway 37. You can use the san rafael bridge but keep in mind it will be a slower ride than usual. Right now, very slow speeds on southbound 101. It is taking about 50 minutes from santa rosa to get to navarro. A closure along 101 between river road and shiroma road. 5 48 and we are following breaking news and napa road in napa county and Sonoma County. Hundreds, if not thousands were forced to run from wildfires that began burning out of control late last night. Well be back. An other 2am stroll, huh . Im worried. I have this medical bill. Dave, you have anthem, and they have people to talk to who are empowered to help answer any question you. dog grunting, panting is. Is he okay . Real people . Living and breathing. Hopefully not breathing like that. For all the things that keep you up at night, Anthem Blue Cross has a solution. Rosa. Where several hospitals are being evacuated due to the fire.

Reporter looking back behind me, you can see the ambulances. You can see off bicentennial way, youre picking up 100 or so patients. The majority of patients have been evacuated. The most critical are being taken to memorial in santa rosa. Fires are not threatening anything there. We just spoke with the santa rosa resident that told us right behind the hospital is a Mobile Home Park. He went to the parking garage. He said it looked like hell on earth. The entire mobile park was destroyed. Other medical centers are taking these patients. [siren] i dont know if you can hear that, but it sounded like we were hearing explosions. Not sure if it is propane tanks. Weve also been told that on the other side of the freeway at kaiser and bicentennial, there is a guns and ammunition store on the other side of the freeway that chp was worried about and trying to keep people out of that area.

In large part, because of the weather . The winds will not be backing down for the next three or four hours. It will take until about 10 00 or 11 00.
