People have evacuated. This place is pretty much full at this hour with elderly folks, children, dogs and people sleeping on cots. Some people not able to sleep because they are so worried about their properties at this hour. We dont know how many or if any properties have been burned and we dont know about the injuries. As the sun comes up in the next hour, we will learn a lot more about exactly how devastating this fire was. I talked to folks earlier who described this. They had to grab anything. They grabbed belongings and rushed out. A lot of folks dont know if they can go back home to their properties.

This video was posted to instagram, showing out of this area, evacuating around road closures and fires jumping roadways, creating dangerous situations for anybody in that area. People are focused on getting out of the area, rather than battling this fire after it broke out around 10 00. We have no idea how much damage is done. Reporter trying to retrace my steps, the closest path to where the fire moves through, as best the roads allow me as youve been nearing, the roads are in ways, it it is impassable. The fire will not stop and as i mentioned last time, the collision with the unoccupied Highway Patrol crews are, it has blocked napper road closure. It prohibits the emergency crews from moving and they have told away the crews are that was completely smashed up. They have to get the emergency solks up and down to eastern y ounomaand cntit is crazy out here. Wilson walker and ive been trying to get the reports of the difficulties. Authorities dont seem to have the roadways open to be safe. There are so many places that danger is popping up. Thats what you are telling us . Just removing the cars from the road, all these automobiles, the tow truck driver trying to get in and the flames are on either side of the road and they had to stop to let the fire burn over and all of this is under average smoke.

Ongoing, why are you trying to get out people are trying to get out of this area . Reporter i dont say this to sound overly dramatic but i can tell you just about all of the houses in this area where i am are gone. The fire has wiped out both sides of the road in the short distance ive been able to travel, essentially the impossibility of the roads, i think they are just trying to keep the roads open so that people can move around. I think theyre trying to figure out what has burned and where and who might have been where. When i was talking to you this morning, it was just a panic is anybody home . Really, in a frantic matter, i stoppeli from going into a house that had already been searched. People needed to get out of the way of the fire and it has been from moment to moment. This group of firefighters comes through in there waiting for the debris to move out of the road so they could get where they were going and i asked a guy how it was going and he said i dont even know anymore and he pointed to the side of the road and said how many times has this fire gone back and forth the road and i said, i dont know. I lost count. I saw the fire burned through areas, its seemingly would go away. Out of nowhere, another sort of batch of this area will flame up and homes are caught a second time. It wont turn off is not the way to describe it. Wilson walker, thank you. It sounds like a dangerous situation. First and foremost, be safe and thanks again for your reporting.

Reporter these folks are affected by the atlas fire, one of five fires raging in sonoma and napa counties. This fire started in atlas peak, just south of lake berryessa. This is the Crosswalk Community church with 350 people here that were evacuated from their homes nearby. Weve talked to several evacuees and they started monitoring the fire at 1 00, getting a knock on the door to get out now and grab whatever they could. One of the major areas affected is the silverady uno uacltetr b in calistoga, there is mandatory evacuation from sonoma road through henry road, conesville road, Wildhorse Valley road. This is one of three Evacuation Centers that the red cross has set up. This one is almost full and folks are going to the napa valley college. Also, napa college napa county fairgrounds where cots are set up for people with food and water. You can bring your pets here and weve seen at least one dozen dogs. They have food and water for pets. This one is st mofu try another Evacuation Center. We were close to the fire before and could see the glow all around town and we could see the ashes raining down on us with smoke filling the air. We are a little bit further through this point at the shelter. When we were closer, we could really, really feel the thick smoke around us. We talked to one of the folks that evacuated from this very area, earlier. Take a listen. We smelled smoke in the house. I went outside and i could see the sky completely ablaze. It looks like it was far enough away. I went back to bed and then my son called me and said he thought i should get dressed and be ready to evacuate. When i went out later on, about 2 30, the hillside directly across from us was completely ablaze. I can tell you there are a lot of elderly folks. We have them on standby if there are any issues. Folks are asked to go to the napa county fairgrounds or napa college. An Emergency Shelter is open in napa for people affected by the fire. The napa county fairgrounds, at 1435 north oak street and another option is napa valley College Gymnasium. That was just open because the Crosswalk Church is full. Its on napa vallejo highway in napa. The city of napa posted that the Animal Shelter is open on hartle court, to take in household pets. We know a lot of animals are in harms way this morning. In santa rosa, here is a map showing the evacuation area straddling 101 in the northern part of the city. Katie nelson is continuing Live Team Coverage in santa rosa. You are at Kaiser Hospital and we heard earlier that the flames are about one half mile from your location and we hear there even closer now . Reporter yes. We are standing on top on top of the parking garage of Kaiser Permanente. If you look behind me, you can see whats left of the journey Mobile Home Park. It is basically, nothing. There are dozens and dozens of homes destroyed. Leah we are literally surrounded by fire right now. What you are looking at is some mobile homes that have already burned and stomped and some are still active fires. Theres one fire we can see that has been positioned where the hospital is trying to keep the fires at bay. We are also hearing and seeing what looks like some type of the gas fire where it sounds like flames are being fed and im not sure if it is propane or natural gas or Something Like that. The hospital has been evacuated and 100 patients were taken out and taken to kaiser san rafael hospital. The most critical patients were taken to memorial in santa rosa. As we are talking about right now, this fire is unprecedented for the city of santa rosa. When we spoke to cal fire earlier, they said the fire is estimated at 20,000 acres and started near calistoga in the overnight. Because of these incredible winds whipping the flames, the flames have impacted the city of santa rosa. The freeway was jumped and its on both sides of 101 nearby centennial way. What we are looking at right now is what used to be a Mobile Home Park. I can only see about two dozen, possibly, mobile homes that are still here and dont seem to be impacted by fire. The rest of them are all basically piles of ash, at this point. We are hearing multiple higher pitched explosions right now and we are told that the other side of the road from the Mobile Home Park was a gun and ammunition shop and it sounds like, potentially, it may have caught fire because we are hearing what almost sounds like rounds of ammunition exploding. We are here on top of the Kaiser Permanente parking garage off bicentennial way in santa rosa, looking down at what used to be a Mobile Home Park. No doubt, the people who lived here barely had any time to get out and we dont know if there are any injuries. Cal fire said we wont have a better idea of what the damage looks like and how many are injured until the sun comes up and they are actually able to get a look into some of these areas. We will get you updates through the morning as we learn more. Katie nielsen, kpix5. A obviously, firefighters would like to do everything to prevent additional buildings from burning, katie. Specifically, the community would like to save the hospital where you are at. What is going on, in terms of the firefight where you are, to prevent flames from spreading to the hospital . Reporter as i said, ive only seen one fire truck in between this burning Mobile Home Park and the hospital, it sells. Behind the hill, there are more flames burning and you can see a red glow from the side of the hill behind the hospital. Right now, when we talked with cal fire, they said the main priority right now is saving lives and they have had to say we have to let the property go. The Large Community hospitals like kaiser and sutter, on the other side of the road, it was also evacuated. There will be High Priorities for the firefighters to try to save this. At this point, the wind is so unpredictable. They will blow and gusts one direction and within a matter of five minutes, they turned and went another direction. Right now, the Mobile Home Park, we are seeing multiple fires set by some type of gas and we are not sure if that is propane or natural gas. Until the gas sources are shut off or somehow extinguished, firefighters cant get a hand on what is going on here. Of course, a very dangerous situation. Just because of the unpredictability, and the fact that so much of the town is surrounded. Now, you are getting into a very densely populated area where you have so many homes and businesses and apartments and things like that, all stacked up on top of each other. They are worried about the commercial buildings. We are told by a resident that an entire shop, a tire shop, was on fire. Based on what we are hearing, it could potentially be burning right now based on the loud pops and small explosions we are hearing. That shop is next to a furniture store. A whole roll of Combustible Materials in a commercial strip mall that we are hearing is burning and cal fire confirmed there are a number of commercial buildings involved right now. The biggest concern is the residence. This happened overnight and people didnt know a fire was moving so quickly toward them. They didnt have time to evacuate. Roads are being clogged and weve heard that there are burned cars. People have literally had to get away as quickly as they could and those are causing traffic problems in the area. Shelters are infilillmited for and right now, cal fires main concern, the concern is trying to save lives. At this point, unfortunately, its not property. That is truly devastating because people literally had to get out of their homes with just the clothes on their back. Looks like hell on earth and i would have to say its an accurate description of what we are looking down on. You can imagine the number of lives impacted by all of this. All of the earthly possessions are gone. Hopefully, no injuries or anyone killed with this, in this situation. Cal fire has said there are injuries. The extent of the injuries remains to be seen later today and in the coming days if we are able to get into these areas. At this point, from what we are seeing, they wont even come here for days, to be able to assess that sort of damage. The difficulty for firefighters is that they were dealing with the wildland fire and as a jumped the roadways, they dealt with this fire within the city limits, a whole different scenario than what they had started with around 10 00 last night. Absolutely, thats right. One of the biggest issues, right now, there are so many fires burning. You have all of these different agencies being pulled in Different Directions and cal fire is working on the fires in napa with another fire burning near clear lake and. Then, you have this fire in santa rosa. Theres only so many fire trucks or firefighters will be able to help put out these flames. At this point, the main focus is just trying to get the evacuation notices out and save the people. Not necessarily the buildings. Another thing hurting them, in addition to the winds, it is still so dark. The fires have been burning in the overnight hours. Its hard to see the landscape and the geography and exactly what they are dealing with. You dont have the benefit of daylight to be able to see what is going on and what terrain it is heading into. Now that we are in a city environment, you have police giving a better idea. You have complex city maps. You have a better idea of where the fire is burning in what could be impacted, next. Another thing that continues to be an issue is intermittent power outages. We are losing cell phone service, we are losing wifi. Lights have been going on and off and there are emergency generators kicking off again. Right now, we are seeing a number of vehicles trying to get into this area. The fires appear to being fed by some type of natural gas, some propane or Something Like that. We can hear hissing noises and see flames shooting up in specific directions and we are seeing a lot of the electrical power lines coming down. We are seeing transformers blowing and sending sparks flying through the air and igniting more fires. If that could be possible, we are looking down at this destruction of the Mobile Home Park that is directly behind Kaiser Permanente hospital in santa rosa the off bicentennial way. If you look across, you can see that across the road, we are not sure what is over across the road. You can actually see that whatever used to be there is now fully engulfed in flames and the flames are continuing up the hill. Right now, from our vantage point, with the darkness, we honestly dont know whether the fire is moving toward us or away from us. Cal fire is dealing with the same thing because of how frequently the wind is changing direction and pushing the flame. It starts north and goes south and then pushes further east and then west. That is how this fire was able to jump the freeway and impact homes and businesses on the other side of the freeway. Talking with cal fire about this situation in santa rosa, we have not heard of any confirmed fatalities. As and was saying, we dont know if the injuries were from here at journeys and Mobile Home Park, directly behind Kaiser Permanente. Cal fire is doing everything they can to save lives. That is the priority. He basically said we have no estimation on containment of this because it is so big. So unprecedented and we are being pulled in so many Different Directions that right now, they almost dont know what to do to try to get a handle on this. Any type of aerial attack could not be made until morning. You will not see any airplanes or helicopters or things like that. The son will be coming up and that is when cal fire will get a better idea. We are on top of the parking garage on Kaiser Permanente property in santa rosa and we will keep you updated as we get more information, going forward. 20,000 acres are burning right now and you can see a home burning on top of a hill, dangerously close to a fire truck near calistoga with mandatory evacuations and People Living along Petrified Forest road, farms valley road in Mountain Home ranch road. School has also been canceled. School is canceled until at least 11 00 and similar stories all around napa and sonoma counties. Do be aware of this throughout the day. Smoke was smelled in the bay area and many said they were woken up by this. Twitter shows ash falling in San Francisco and looking closely, you can see streaks, which is ash falling in that video. You can see hayes falling over the city. Dozens have reported smelling that smoke. You have to close your window and dont call 911 unless you see a fire in the immediate area. People recorded smoke as far as 70 miles away and high wind is driving this down. You can see the live picture. A hazy view until the bay bridge. You can see that the smoke is right below this. Kpix5 has a camera giving an idea of what we are waking up to this morning. The ashes are coming down south into San Francisco and the wind is blowing with gusting where you can see the smoke on the high death doppler. It is growing and as you watch this, it is extending into parts of vallejo and venetia, also. A lot of smoke that is visible from the satellite and radar. Peak gusting coming up. 5070 milesanhour for places like sonoma and santa rosa. Humidity levels 1013 and overnight, that is where there is usually more moisture but that is not the case. Fuel is at or near record highs. The better idea is the gusting in santa rosa, 61 and hawkeye, 79 milesanhour from those hills. The smoke is blowing down south and it is the direction of the wind blowing right now from the northnortheast and that is an intense danger in this is critical fire danger. There is look at the wind speeds. In napa, santa rosa, the monitor is coming in and fairfield, 22. The area has strong and intense wind in the wind advisory is in effect north and east bay hills. The dryness will still be there and the onshore flow into the bay area will bring moisture and strong and dry northeast winds and by tomorrow afternoon, good news. The onshore flow will return. It will bring moisture in and the wind wont be as dry. Temperatures in the 60s for concord, oakland and livermore. This view, you can see that nasty hayes and conditions will be warm in the north area with fires burning and 814 napa and 78 for the highs in vallejo. Warmer temperatures and the wind will calm down. The firefighters should be helped a little bit. There waiting on the wind to die down so you can get a better idea. A red flag warning in effect until tomorrow morning when cool air comes through to give the break they need. Lets check with jaclyn. 60 minutes, that is how long it takes drivers to get out of santa rosa into this area along 101. Many closures right now. 101 shut down in both directions. We are tracking closures along highway 12 and 37. 37 close between i80 and 101. A lot of folks are using the Richmond San Rafael bridge. 80s to racine and all of this spillage from those drivers, getting off to this area. 121, it is closed. The breaking News Coverage continues. Stay with us and we will be right back. And sonoma counties. Theres also another wildfire burning right now in butte county. Chp officials are asking everyone to breaking news continues as several wildfires continued. Firefighters have grown overnight from 200 acres when they were originally reported to more than 20,000 acres. This is a live look at the fire burning. All hands on deck with crews all over northern california. The lions share of the problem appears to be near santa rosa. Weve heard there are as many as five different fires burning in that area. Evacuation centers, Jessica Flores is live in one of those locations in napa. Jessica, people are basically late at night, middle of night, they were woken by the fire and had to get out immediately . Reporter folks from about 11 00 p. M. Until 1 00 a. M. , getting anything they could. They went to Crosswalk Community church. The shelter was set up with food, cots, water. There are at least one dozen pets here and 350 people have evacuated and it is pretty much at capacity. The wind is whipping up and we want to give you a sense of what we are looking at. You can see the glo all around napa. Ashes are raining down on us. Dry and windy conditions making it very difficult to control the flames.
