A lot of the responders were going door to door pulling people out of th hobody was able to t hereand mye es, motherbu and father bei and 98 were not able to move fast enough to get out at all. Reporter so very, very tragic. Now some homes in the silverado resort area were just wiped clean off the face of the earth leveled by the flames. Weve seen so much ruin here, many families, of course, wondering tonight are they going to have homes when they get back into their neighborhoods . Others able to get back into their streets, theyre finding just like behind me here there is nothing left. Kpix5s Juliette Goodrich introduces us to two sisters here in santa rosa. Juliette . Reporter allen, theyre just like so many. They had just minutes to evacuate and i want to show you whats going on directly behind me. This family is returning back to whats left of their home sifting through the rubble to see if there are any valuables they can collect. They have masks on because of the dust in the area. As you mentioned, i want to introduce you to two sisters who have grown up here in santa rosa. One lost her entire home. The other is a schoolteacher and shes not sure if her classroom is still intact. The front door was right here. Reporter sometimes its the littlest things that matter most. Heres my mug. Reporter when you have suddenly lost everything. Look at that. Ive had this since i was a kid. Aarp angela england, her husband and three reporter angela england, her husband and three daughters made it out of the devastating fire with just the clothes on their backs. Ive got no more baby pictures, no wedding album. I mean things are things. Reporter her sisters family had to evacuate, also. Its terrifying. It was terrifying. We grabbed our kids and the clothes on our back and that was it. Reporter tina teaches 4th grade and still doesnt know how her classroom is after fire spread through this market estate neighborhood. When did you find out your sister had lost everything . Probably early the next morning. Reporter you are unbelievably strong. Im trying. Is that what it is . Im trying. Ive had a couple of days to sort of soak this in. I need to be strong for my kids. They see me cry, they cry. Reporter but angela says home will always be here. Were going to rebuild this house. Were going to move on. Were going to make more memories. This is not deterring me from moving back here at all. Coming back to 230 pacific heights, that is my address. Thats home and thats where were going to stay. Reporter and back out here live you can see this family here returning back home or to whats left of it and in so many neighborhoods there are still hotspots, so some people are not allowed to go back in to see whats left. Allen, coming up at 6 00 i found some still photos that a historic photographer took with the San Francisco police department. He took some unbelievable images of the fire. I want to share them with you, kind of what he saw through his lens. They tell quite a story as well. Well have that at 6 00. For now back to you. All right. The pictures and the stories truly amazing coming out of here no matter what they show. Thanks so much. Now the Sonoma County sheriff gave us an update a few hours ago on the situation here. He says they have had reports of 240 people who are missing. So far theyve safely located 57 of those 240. At one point the fire actually came pretty close to the sheriffs office. He said they didnt have to evacuate. However, there are some employees with the sheriffs department, theyre trying to help people, but they find themselves homeless. Im very fortunate. Unfortunately my home is fine, but i would estimate at least 20 deputies or excuse me, 20 employees have lost their homes, 20 employees of the sheriffs office. Many of them i found out about the night the fire broke out because they were coming off the hill evacuating telling me they lost their home. Reporter the sheriff said right now they are only responding to calls with top priority emergencies until the hotspots have cooled and its safe for search and rescue. You can hear that chopper flying over me. It looks like a military chopper actually and theyve been circling and circling this coffey park neighborhood assessing the damage. The fires, of course, still burning out of control, 0 containment, the big fires, of course, in sonoma and napa counties have been burning for almost 48 hours now. Kpix5s joe vazquez is on the fire lines of the napa Sonoma County line near glen bell him with the latest. Joe glen ellen with the latest. Reporter just getting to the front lines of the fire is fraught with challenges. Trinity road has power lines down and spot fires continue to pop up along the way. Cal fire says it is still in defensive mode trying to protect property while getting people and equipment into position to work on containment. Its priority is still on getting people out of harms way. The fact is theyre dealing with attacking a huge amount of fire across the state. The scope of this is unreal. We have about 115,000 acres. To put that in perspective, a football field is about an acre. So its 115,000 football fields of uncontained fire line in california right now. So thats a pretty big lift for our firefighters and obviously were prioritizing and engaging and working as hard as possible. Reporter the temperature is noticeably warmer and the wind has really picked up and heres the danger. You can see the flames on this side of the road. They have leapt across the road and are attacking the other side now. Just listen to the wind. It is harsh and the possibility that it will continue to increase has firefighters worried. We are very concerned about the changing weather conditions again and the additional north wind thats anticipated. Our firefighters are obviously going to be prepared for that, but again Mother Nature can take control pretty quickly. Reporter you see this branch right here behind me. It has been burning all day and just a short while ago it finally just collapsed onto the street here. That is why its still dangerous here on the front edge of this fire, allen. That is why theyre telling evacuees you cant go back in yet. This is still an active fire and with more high winds to come theres a long way to go before people are going to be back to normal. Reporter such a very long way to go and many people in that same situation, joe. Thanks. We know youll cover the very latest for us. We will check back with you later in the evening. I should tell you i am standing in the middle of really probably what was the garage of the family home of bob and Tammy Christianson. They were telling me theyve lived in this house for three decades. So they came back today and gathered a bunch of stuff. Bob works as an electrician, so this is obviously whats left of a hammer. Hes got pipe wrenches, clamps. This is a pileful his tools that will obviously have to be replaced because thats his livelihood, but when they came back here today, they were very gracious and let us kind of tag along. Im going to show you what they found not only is a treasured memory, but theres extra special meaning to not only that memory, but why their family is intact and safe. Take a look. Theres a lot of memories in this house and this is horrible. Reporter bob and Tammy Christianson have lived on hopper avenue in santa rosa for 30 years. Theyve raised three kids in this house or what was this house. The fire sunday was a shock. My wife woke me up at 10 after 2 00 and we had about 20 minutes to get out. Reporter they took separate cars, got stuck in the traffic gridlock as embers blew and houses burned all around them. Now less than 48 hours later their house, like many of their neighbors, is ash and rubble, but they are back to salvage whatever they can. One thing builds on another, you know, hope. Shes hoping she can find Something Else and try to dig something out of all this rubble. It was important to come back because theres a lot of sentimental items that i was sentimental as in ore somebody her wedding ring she took off before going to bed sunday night. She heard another woman had success. She found her wedding ring and i thought well, ive got to try and so we got in and i found it. Reporter and she had a pretty good idea where to start looking. I started in through the front door and i immediately went to where i knew my jewelry box was and i just started sifting and there it was and its still in pretty good shape after all these years and a fire. Reporter to say this is a happy ending doesnt tell the whole story. You see, a week before the fire the christiansons daughter was at a bachelorette weekend at a Country Music concert in las vegas. It was a rough week because the sunday prior, the 2nd of october, she woke me up around 10 00 to let me know that there was an active shooter in las vegas and my daughter was at that concert. So we were up all night trying to find her location and make contact with her while she was barricaded in a building in las vegas because of the shooter. Reporter believe it or not, you look at all this and bob said they are indeed feeling very grateful for their familys safety. Liz, i can tell you tonight there are other families in the neighborhood, theres one across the street from where im standing, they, too are going through whats left of their home hoping to find one or two of those little memories. Unbelievable, boy, the strength and resilience of that couple just takes your breath away what happened to them in the past couple of weeks. Its unimaginable. I have to ask do they plan to rebuild in that location again . Reporter i asked bob because, you know, you look around the neighborhood and you wonder how in the world . One man told me that the destruction of this fire in this one neighborhood goes from 1. 4 miles, so about 1 1 2 miles by a 1 2 mile. How are you going to rebuild and bob said, ive already talked to our Insurance Company and i found a contractor and were going to start rebuilding as soon as possible. Good for them. We just got another update from pg e tonight. Right now about 75,000 customers are still without forward. The majority of them are in s, 50,000 and napa about 15,000. Sonoma County Airport in santa rosa is closed for a second day in a row from these fires. The terminal is without power. The airport said even though they have backup generators for the control tower, they cant accommodate passengers without electricity. We cant run the tsa checkpoints, so were closed to commercial flights, but the airport is open for cal flight and other flights. The airport is working with pg e to restore forward or get a backup generator, no word when the santa rosa airport will reopen. A lot of people cognizant of the weather and its been okay the past couple days. Wind has not been a huge issue the past 24 to 36 hours. It will be again about this time tomorrow. Air quality is unhealthy for about 2 3 of the area, a little less poor heading down toward livermore , san jose and gilmore, but the air quality is pretty bad out there, especially close to the fires in the north bay. Very unhealthy again tomorrow. Limit the outdoor exposure or maybe look at it from a half full approach. Be thankful you have a home to stay inside and get away from that bad air because 2 or 3,000 homes have been lost at a minimum in the north bay. Tomorrow winds increasing again gusting to 40 Miles Per Hour. Its another dry front. We have 17 active fires. The spread of those fires will likely increase as we have an increase in the wind 24 hours from now. Well talk more about the seven day forecast coming up in a few minutes. Thousands told to leave their homes and get out of the path of the flames, up next were there as people flood evacuation centers. And we speak with some doctors and nurses stepping up to keep hospital staff even as their own homes burn in the fire. Well be right back.

D out two wildfires continue to burn in napa county right now forcing mandatory evacuations. Many are struggling to find out when and if they can go back home. Kpix5s sharon chin continues our coverage live in napa. Sharon . Reporter ken and liz, the winds have picked up in the last hour. That means we have been seeing a wall of smoke and even some flames on the side of the mountain for the first time today. Here at the shelter evacuees are desperate to find out if their homes are safe. Peter and karen ross are asking anyone and everyone for information. Were just trying to find out if our house is still there or not and they have a list of the homes. We cant seem to find out who has this list. Reporter george and Sandy Bradley also feel in the dark. What do you want to know that you dont know right now . How about lake berryessa, the status . Reporter making matters worse, many parts of napa have no cell service or electricity and evacuees are trying to reach loved ones. At evacuation shelters some posted a list of the missing. Some are flocking to a handful of places with working wifi and electricity like this starbucks. Thats how this man found his friend. I was able to reach a friend of mine in dillon. His girl friend had kind of called me. They was really distraught, left a friend, couldnt find them. Reporter and the missing are letting family and friends know theyre okay. When i came into wifi range, all of a sudden i had like 15 messages from people who were freaking out worrying about me. So i was able to send them a message, you know. I just did a Group Message were okay, were fine. Reporter here at the shelter at napa valley college, the county supervisor gave an update to more than 100 evacuees saying its not safe to return home and kneel try to get them wifi. Thank you. Now lets send it back out to allen martin anchoring our coverage from santa rosa. Allen . Reporter im sorry, ken and liz. I lost the audio. I cant hear you. Let me just tell you amid all this destruction there are a lot of stories of close calls. People see the orn angeout of sounds kind of cliche to say they were running for their lives, but they were indeed running for their lives. Kpix5s jackie ward with a close call at one of the big hospitals here in santa rosa. Jackie . Reporter allen, as kaiser was being evacuated early yesterday morning, its important to remember that the people who were getting those patients to safety live in this community as well and they were fearful about what was happening to their homes, to their families, but they put those concerns aside for at least a little while while they served those who needed them and waited for the fire to happen. In a matter of 2 1 2 hours Kaiser Hospital went from being fully operational to completely empty. An effort like that required the entire staff to safely help their roughly 130 patients get out. It was an amazing, amazing experience to see how the heros in this facility worked in collaboration. Reporter like many others, nurse judy coffey had to escape from her home, too, which she is is now in ashes. Literally says is now in ashes. Literally trees are falling down and ashes and we just saw it as it came over the hill. The Emergency Department was filling up with smoke. We were getting an influx of patients and then we started finding out about the fires breaking out nearby. Reporter all while his wife and teenage daughter were frantically fleeing their home. I was on the phone with her and my daughter was screaming from the car as flames were around the car. Reporter the staff is putting their own problems aside and focusing on the task at hand. Its our job. We need to make sure we are for the community, for our hospital and patients. We have to take care of them. That its paramount. You just kind of go thats paramount. You just kind of go into this mode whoever is available, put their hands out and help. Reporter right now the hospital is running off the emergency generators and are waiting for the okay from the city and county to tell them when they can turn their systems back on for electricity and water. Then once those systems are up and running they have to wait until 48 hours for testing to see if they were damaged. After that the state department of Public Health will come in to let them know when patients will be allowed to be seen again. Good news, they did open up a walkin urgent clinic that includes a pharmacy. A lot of times when people flee their homes, they dont take their much needed medication and prescriptions they need on a daily basis. So its really good news they can get medicine here now at kaiser. Reporter absolutely great news, thank you so much. So many incredible stories of survival, hope and promise and that is indeed what people are clinging to tonight. Well have more coverage of the wildfires here in Northern California in wine country coming up in a little bit. Back after this. My name is jirndm a locate and Mark Fieldman for pg e. Most people in the community recognize the blue trucks as pg e. My truck is something new. Its an 811 truck. When you call 811, i come out to your house and i mark out our gas lines and our electric lines to make sure that you dont hit them when youre digging. 811 is a free service. Im passionate about it because every time i go on the street i think about my own kids. Theyre the reason that i want to protect our community and our environment, and if me driving a that truck means that somebody gets to go home safer, then ill drive it every day of the week. Together, were building a better california. In Sonoma County we are continuing our wildfire coverage right now. Moments ago we just saw a home that were told there it is is in glen ellen completely engulfed in flames. Again this is in glen ellen and Sonoma County. This fire has 0 containment, homes still burning as you can see right there. The fire is still very active, paul, and so is the smoke. Its just inundating the bay area right now. The problem is this. Were getting the afternoon sea breeze today. Tomorrow another dry front moves through which will kick up the winds again. At 0 containment today there should be no expectation that these fires will be completely under control by the time the winds increase once again tomorrow. Looking live in Sonoma County, that was a Beautiful House which is now completely engulfed in flames. Well get over to the weather computers. I want to set the stage with whats going on currently and what we can expect moving into tomorrow. Were looking at winds now west of 20 Miles Per Hour in San Francisco. All of our reporters including sharon chin said the winds increased in the north bay near these fires. They have. Its coming from the ocean. Tomorrow we get that dry north to northeast wind again. Look at the air over the bay area right now. Especially in north bay its still in the unhealthy category, 60s and 70s outside, so not as warm and tonight will be chilly, 49 in concord, fremont, 44 in santa rosa. Keep the windows closed. The air quality is bad. You dont want the smoke inside your hope. Heres the problem, a cold front which wont give us a drop of rainfall. In this case we get a front which does nothing but increase the wind. Watch the wind in the north bay overnight tonight. Midnight 2 miles an hour. Thats fine. San rafael 9 Miles Per Hour. By sunrise tomorrow 22 Miles Per Hour in santa rosa, 25 in san rafael and winds in the mountains will likely increase further into the afternoon meaning a bad problem, a huge problem will get that much worse as were looking at an increase in the wind from the north and northeast drying us out again tomorrow. We arent as warm the rest of the week, but the wind will increase tomorrow afternoon especially in the hills. Highs tomorrow 60s and 70s, oakland 71, santa rosa 72, need some rainfall, not a drop of rain for each of the next seven days, sunshine across the board. Thats your forecast. Well be right back. Lica misses you. Im over it though. laughter thats fine. I miss her more than you anyway. Hey, my window is closing. Yeah thats okay. Alright miles. I love you. phone hangs up yeah i love you too.
