Re going to hamper their breathing, make them feel uncomfortable, their eyes will start to burn, they will start to cough. It is all aboutr sustained exposure. Hopefully by staying indoors, you are able to limit exposure. Everyone should be taking efforts to stay in a place where the air . Hav is filtered. Your airconditioners to recirculate so that you are not bringing and pollution. Kon on a good day you see pe where those baby masks, are they useful .

Wild fires continue to rage out of control in the north bay, this is video from yesterday evening in the oakmont area, that neighborhood is under evacuation, if you are just waking up, you may be surprised at the size of the fire, we are going to bring you up to date on the death toll. 16 people have been killed, at least, 2,000 buildings, thats the estimation, they cannot get a break to count all of the homes and businesses that are destroyed of the 183 people are unaccounted for in Sonoma County this morning, we are still hoping that people can reach out and find each other. There are 14 separate fires burning throughout napa and sonoma counties, the total is 115,000acres and growing, struggling to get any containment at all. Good morning, lets get you updated with the complete Team Coverage of the fires, we have reporters in the field but first we want to give you the latest on the numbers, lets look at the nuns fire, thats in Sonoma County, this map shows you the perimeter of the fire line, the fire is threatening the oakmont area, the fire has burned 5,000acres and its 1 contained. They have barely made a dent in that. Its 10 miles east of santa rosa, also in that area is the Sugar Loaf Ridge state park, they are trying to save the park this morning. Lets look at the tubbs fire, this has been one of the most destructive fires, a lot of people have been asking you to stay on the maps and look at them for a while so you can pickup the streets and see what is happening. This fire, we watched this spread live on our air on the kron four morning news, this is day three and getting worse, this has burned 28,000acres, no containment. 571 structures have been destroyed just in this fire alone because this is the city of santa rosa that we are talking about. These are city streets and blocks that have been consumed by the flames, 16,000 structures are threatened as we speak this morning. Lets jump to napa. This is the atlas peak fire, everything inside of the red line is where cal fire said has burned. This is after atlas peak road. You can see the vineyards all the way down to sky line wilderness park, so far this fire has burned 25,000acres and destroyed 125 buildings, only 3 containment. Its hard to believe that so little progress in these fires have been made. Its because of the wind and because so many different fires are burning, so this fire is on the other side of napa. This is spilling into the Sonoma Valley. We put up some wineries, people are looking to get familiar with the area and some of these landmarks are not here even though we have marked them. We have the fontanella family winery and the artesia vineyards and winery and the scribe winery, those are the areas that border where the fire is burning but with minimal containment, it continues to grow, 6,000acres have burned, one person contained. People love wine country with all of the vineyards, many of the vineyards and the wineries have been destroyed. We are going to continue to follow that and follow more evacuations, there are new evacuations for parts of Sonoma County, several areas in geyserville are being told to evacuate. We look to list the streets because a lot of people do not have power or cell service or television, n6÷look at these streets on the map, sellers road, fay ranch road, ridge oaks road are all under the mandatory Evacuation Order. Also deep path drive and lake wood lane, some people may not be getting this word. Also Moon Mountain road in the Sonoma Valley, martin road, adobe way, if you know people there, check on them. Also on stay highway 12, they have not been ordered to evacuate yet but those are in an area where officials are concerned. They are telling people to have a bag packed and be ready just in case because we have heard the story repeated over and over again after that initial order where people have to run from the flames, others look at this fire and there is more time. If you can have a bag ready its better for you, a lot of people are three days plus out of their homes. One more thing, a new mandatory Evacuation Order for calistoga, all People Living north of grant street need to leave their homes, all remaining areas of calistoga are under an advisory alert. It could become mandatory, get that bag packed now in case the police say its time to go, its better to be all packed up and leave in an organized fashion, people north the grant street are under a mandatory evacuation. Also you can exit on state route 29 south. Thats a way to get out of calisto dprks a. I remember monday morning a lot of people were confused. So many roads were closed. 128 and 121 were all blocked. People were confused, they were saying, which direction should i go. Lets talk about weather and traffic as it relates to the situation this morning. We have been tracking the wind. What is the story today. A lot of people are preparing because things are going to get back as we get into the evening hours tonight. The winds are going to be returning, we have calm winds right now and a light breeze, note the arrows, they are shifting to the north, they are becoming variable because the front is overhead. We have a spare the air day, unhealthy air in the north bay, elsewhere its unhealthy for the sensitive groups, you will notice the camp fire smell. The red flag warning is at 5 00 and goes on for the next 24 hours as the offshore winds return, its not the gusts that we had last time but they are try and pushing the humidity levels down. On the east bay shoreline we have 40s, 50 san rafael, 50 san jose. 70s at the bay. We have a closer look at the winds in just a bit. The roads are okay, bart is behind schedule.

Yesterday he was in an area that people had evacuated just in case, today he is on fown tan grove way where the news is not good for the community. There is no hope in this area, some places there was a chance that this home or that home may have survived but this neighborhood in paxton place, there is not a home standing, these are high end homes, there are arches in front. For many places, the arches are the only thing Still Standing. These cars did not have a chance to leave, people just fled with what they had. This car is burned down to the ground. I cannot make out the make or model. This is off paxton place in the Fountain Grove area, there are many check points just to get to this location, we went through three or four off the freeway to get to this location. How hot did it get . It takes a long time. This is the stuff you see in factories where they melt metal. The fire was so intense and burned so long, heres a part of the car that i walked over just to show you how i intense the fire was, you can see me wearing a mask toad.

Now we are there and it looks like they are going to see those flames there. Luckily everyone is out, right . Reporter yes, there is nobody there. I am on summer field road and nobody is here, everything is evacuated. As you got here i spoke to the police officers, they said i was allowed in at my own risk, they said if you go up these roads, there may not be any First Responders that can help if needed. Right now these homes are safe, they are untouched by the fire that started close to here and is now to the east of me, you can tell its close because you can feel it and smell it. The area is completely evacuated. Right now the homes are safe. People have been asking us if their homes are safe, they are but we do not know what is going to happen in the next few hours or next few days. Thank you, word that homes are Still Standing is just as valuable and important as reporting on where the homes have burned to the ground. The terrible thing is they are discovering more people have died in the flames, we were talking about how they were not able to get into a lot of areas, we have so many people missing and unaccounted for. We saw the death toll going up from 10 to 12, now this morning, 16 people have died in the fires in the north pay. The Sonoma County Emergency Office has released the names of the streets where the victims of the fires were found. Two victims were found on angela drive, two more on lashing west road.

We showed the sheriffs video. We have heard stories of the elderly that could not get out of their homes, these are the streets and we are saying that because again, they cannot positively identify the bodies, they just want people to know where the bodies were found.

We still seeing a lot of smoke in the bay area, closer to San Francisco because of the fires, a lot of people are wondering about that, we will get to traffic in a minute but first less talk about the direction of the wind. Now the wind is coming from the north and the north east. Thats where the strong winder will come from. Thats going to blow more smoke into the greater bay area, the last check with the winds, we have arrows points from the west, fairfield and then from the north at napa. You can see this front is right in our back yard. On the backside, it passes, thats when the wind shift is in place, we are in the mid 50s in the east bay, 40s in the north bay, at least we have cooler weather. Elsewhere in the inlying areas, temperatures are not much different, is a spare the air day, smoke from the fires today.

Traffic is slow at the bay bridge toll plaza. Its backed up beyond the 880 overcrossing and clawing up the eastern sparn to the tunnel. Span to the tunnel, its a pretty good ride into the north pay, six minutes from the tolls to 101. Lets get back to our Team Coverage, will is live in the Fountain Grove neighborhood in santa rosa, we talk about the new evacuation oordz. When people see the devastation, they know what they are running from. These people had to run, the flames were intense, a lot of people we spoke to yesterday were not told to evacuate but they knew to evacuate because the fires were quickly racing to their homes, this is doverton place, this is 3751 doverton place, its decimated. This is just a snapshot of everything i see in this neighborhood. Two cars here, they look like high end cars and they are burned to the ground. The windows are blown out and the tires are gone. Rims are melted. In the distance beyond the two cars you can see that used to be the kitchen area, you can see it here, i see fumes still in this area going from the right to the left of the screen, that used to be the kitchen area, these are high end homes, you talked about this, the fire does not discriminate, these are high end homes, we had mobile homes monday and high end homes towd. This is the worst i have seen it in the three days i have covered this fire, this arch is the only thing Still Standing from this house, many other homes have their arches standing as well. In a Perfect World before the fire, you could not see from one plok to the next, these are high, tall homes but because of the fire, i can see from one block to the next. Visibility is not too bad today but you are unobstructed. You can see a lot of everything has been knocked down, they have kept people away from this area, can you see that there is a street sign in the distance. Many street signs are now white, they used to be green but now they are white because they have been charred so badly. We wept through four check points to get to this location. They do not want anybody here, first, because there could be a flare up again, do not get in the way of First Responders also they think its too dangerous for people to be here. If you want to ask me how are things personally, it smells bad, it does not smell like wood burning, you can smell the fumes from the car, the bricks, it has a unique smell to it. I have been covering wild fires for a long time, we knee what a camp fire smells like, it does not smell like that, it smells like a chemical factory caught on fire. This was the scene yesterday in santa rosa, you can see the fire burning on the ridge line in the distance. People in this neighborhood were allowed back in the area to rescue their animals, many people were forced to leave before they had a chance to grab their pets. They were allowed back to the community to collect their animals but then they got back out. They got the animals out and the people are out of that area, i you can see why with the fire burning and the ridge on top of the mountain. We back in a few minutes.
