The pier fire has burned almost 300 acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Alndria borba shows us why fighting the fire is so hard. Reporter the soundtrack of the Santa Cruz Mountains is this an onslaught of helicopter blades piercingly quiet. Dropping water and trying to knock down the bear fire. The fire began at night, scaring people out of their homes. I turned around and all of a sudden i saw the flames in my living room. I just saw like a light so i took my stuff and run. I got asked to leave about 1 am, 2 am and again at 3 am, 4 am. I ended up leaving at 7 am. I got my truck over there with everything i own. Reporter one of the things making this fire freight difficult is sharp cliffs and steep inclines everywhere you look. There are 600 firefighters on the ground cutting hand lines, but the most important work is happening in the sky. Even the command center is precariously perched on the cliffside on bear creek road. Like so many here in the Santa Cruz Mountains, crumbling and places from last winters rain. Along skyline there is an unofficial viewing area for the evacuated to see if their home becomes another statistic of californias beautify brutal fire season. I have seen a lot of fires over 30 years but nothing like this. Reporter in the Santa Cruz Mountains, alndria borba, kpix 5. Right now, its just 5 contained. Four structures have burned. 150 more are still threatened in deer creek and along. Creek road. Lakeside elementary in los gatos and the fire station in sultan are all open to evacuees tonight. There were more fires breaking out across the bay area today in dublin. This grass fire burned 118 acres. It is 75 contained right now. Flames broke out this afternoon near fallon road. At one point, nearby neighborhoods were evacuated. Tonight, those orders have been lifted. These images show how close the fire came to those homes. In marin county, two small fires shut down 101 southbound near sausalito north of the Robin Williams tunnel.

Cal fire expects to have the tubbs fire, oakmont fire, and several other fires contained by friday. Recovery will take much longer. The head of fema just towards burn damage and saw the buyers firsthand. The premises the feds are making to victims. Reporter the fema administrator insists the federal government will be there for the people of napa county and Sonoma County but points out the last couple of months have been an unparalleled period when it comes to disasters in the u. S. I think we are working on disasters across 20 states. Reporter brock long, the president s man on the ground is cataloging our catastrophe. The fires burning across the north bay. What disturbs me most is seeing the urban nature of a wildfire. Reporter the administration of fema says his people are here, helping fire victims with evacuations, removing Hazardous Materials and money to rebuild. Congressman Mike Thompson says his colleagues are working on a relief bill. At the very last minute they were able to at an additional billion dollars specifically for this fire event. Reporter but its pretty clear victims here will be standing alongside many other americans who have been hit hard in recent days. The fema administrator says if you combined hurricane katrina, super sttorm sandy, hurricane rita, and hurricane wilma over a sevenyear period, it still doesnt add up to the amount of Disaster Relief needed in the last 50 days. There were 50 and 60 foot flames. Reporter john tudor lives on green valley road, which just reopened to evacuees tonight. He rode out the fire without significant damage and he happens to be the recorder clerk damage assessor and is urging neighbors to be patient when expecting federal checks.

We are all satisfied with the life he lived. He lived his dreams and we couldnt be prouder. He leaves behind a wife and an 18yearold daughter. As the sun set on another bad air day, many of you are wondering when will we get some relief . Betty yu is here for kpix 5 and it has just been one fire after another. Reporter thats right. We really do need a break. Even though firefighters have been making great progress in recent days, the smoke conditions continue. The air district says if you can smell smoke outside, try to stay indoors to minimize exposure. The city of oakland was barely recognizable earlier today from chopper 5. Thick smoke close to the downtown area and smoke said and hayes blanketed support. We saw very light winds for the majority of the day and that meant the smoke was able to just rain into the bay and stay low in the atmosphere. Reporter new wildfires in the Santa Cruz Mountains and the bay added high levels of pollution across the bay area. Things seem to be improving this evening in San Francisco. That strong smell from the wildfires is dissipating and behind me, you can see clear past the bay bridge to the city of oakland. Tonight, a welcome sign at the golden gate bridge. The fog started to roll in. Until we get a storm system moving through here or high winds, we are going to continue to see conditions remain variable. Reporter and the air quality potentially unhealthy. The bay area air quality district monitors pollution every hour. If you must be outdoors for a long period of time, people are advised to wear masks like these that filter out the most dangerous particulates. Hardware stores havent been able to restock the masks fast enough with high demand this past week but when we stopped by tonight, they had some left. The air district stresses conditions are variable until firefighters can really get a handle on all the fires burning across the bay area. Betty yu, kpix 5. The ocean breeze certainly helped out this evening. We went from unhealthy to very unhealthy, to good, to moderate within an hour once the breeze kicked up from the ocean between 5 pm and 7 pm. Tonight, moderate air quality. Not perfect but better than a few hours ago. The onshore flow from the ocean as opposed to the fire, that continues tonight at 14 Miles Per Hour. 11 Miles Per Hour in downtown and 9 Miles Per Hour in oakland. San rafael and napa as well. With the breeze continuing from the ocean tomorrow, tomorrow should feature better air quality than today. The exception, close to the actual fires. The north they will remain with poor air quality. The wind coming from the ocean is going to help a bit. What we need is significant rainfall. There is rain in the forecast. I wouldnt call it significant but we are talking about that rain coming up.

Marlins are kind of sensitive to the smoke and fear, and i have already required a respiratory treatment and they sent me up with an inhaler. Reporter thats why scott alonso with the Sonoma County of Public Health is urging people to stay inside, especially children and those with lung problems. And when youre driving, make sure your air is on recirculate so your air filters are not bringing in outside air. Reporter scott says the longterm effects of breathing in this air are still unknown but to lessen your chances of developing a serious illness, he is encouraging people to remain patient and not clean up their homes instead urging people to make an appointment with the Health Department and allow professionals to clean up the hazardous waste. It is not safe to clean up the hazardous waste. Its harmful. We do not want you in it, we do not want children and it.
