Were looking at the 3 major fires in the bay area between 5. 15 containment. We still have a long way to go dont we. Yeah storm that we have coming in were definitely going to see them. When come back in and dry lightning over the various. So weve talked so much about the need for more man power but the resources being stretched so thin how does this affect your planning and what is still needed to try and get a handle on this in terms of manpower. So we continue every sort of come in and we are assessing on an hourly basis. You know where the greatest need is and thats always going to be live. So were going to be a strategic lee planning where were going to put those engines where were going to be able to fly an aircraft to help to slow the spread and then hopefully you know been on the ground we can property and also at the natural resources. Is so where is the greatest need right now tonight. Definitely were seeing some activity on the l a new and the fbu we continue though to be. In its burning in steep rugged terrain thats pretty inaccessible thats when the challenges were seeing but the weather events over ellen you and see the u. We dry lightning coming through. Would definitely could potentially spark new fires there so well keep an eye on that and then be able to respond quickly. Without the resources that are likely already of these fires. The heather help me understand this youre talking about lives being the most important thing which is obvious looking at the maps of where these fires are burning the l and youth lightning complex fire basically surrounds Lake Berryessa and goes quite a distance away from the lakes. There are a lot of home Summer Vacation homes with a lot of people still live in those areas is that the number one priority in terms of protecting lives. Get anywhere there. The fire burning especially in a highly populated area. You know were going to work both in conjunction with Law Enforcement to make sure that you know were getting people out of harms way that way we can get the resources in there and we can focus on fighting the fire. How is all of this affecting your planning, especially as now we move into the nighttime hours and we all acknowledge that such a difficult time for the fire crews. What are you expecting ahead tonight. Well im you know were going to continue the aggressively fight each you know fire and while there are multiple fronts on the fires were city to keep putting those resources. And. And fortunately tomorrow morning they will be able to get the aircraft up and hopefully the 45 its the smoke agree, but again we have the wind coming in and so sometimes that we can do you know wait for that to die down and then get back in safely heather can you remind people of how they should prepare if they do get the call to evacuate and why it is so important. That they follow those instructions. Yet the number of getting out means we can get in and sometimes i think people watch the pine they feel like they can defend their homes but you know not leaving right away be stuck in traffic so you know if you are one of the area and youre under a warning expected to have that evacuation plan in place and sometimes evacuation go back in your car and ready to go. Were hearing that the fire crews many have been on the fire front lines for of 72 hours around the how is the roque rotation going in the in light of the fact that you still need more manpower. So if we get 3 fourths of an and were able to you know a whole that firefighters that have been on for that long. You know thats our goal we keep increasing our staffing you see the number go up in the housing each day you know as of today, we have 13,000 fire personnel earlier this week, you know it was 9 to 10,000 so but as we continue to get those reports and were going to continue out you know fire push now, but at the same time it theres a need or going to be able to keep the fire personnel on god help keep people safe. Yeah talk about those resources a little bit more how far away are they coming i in Sonoma County today and eyes. Tsai sikorsky uh basically its a flying crane, it can carry 25,000 pounds of water. It was brought down from oregon. We saw the 7. 47 thats been modified into a fire fighting. The largest firefighting aircraft in the world plus people coming from all over talk about where all these resources are coming from. Yes, were definitely seeing other resources or in a you know in our surrounding a the closest that you know reported will i be able to come in from the east coast likely just solid 2017 2018 work.

You can see by the area and read just how large the area is which is covered by the mandatory Evacuation Orders for gayle, ong is live in felton tonight. Thats in the mountains of Santa Cruz County so gayle what have you learned tonight. Warm here in downtown felton words virtually a ghost town this whole area evacuated.

This is felton empire road and this is approaching empire grade and thats right by the body doing volunteer fire and rescue and you can see environment this fire is burning a lot of wooded areas. I dry brush and i did come across a brave homeowner who took it upon himself to fight the fire. We have small fires. One extreme and can help a lot thats life. We could have done or any ice skate candid. Well that man and hes a local man here who live nearby while he was trying to clearly do the right thing. Firefighters dont want anyone to get hurt in the process and are urging people to leave it to the professionals. People that are running around out there in their cars or their motorcycles. Its a dangerous situation out there so for your safety. Please get out of that area and let get in there and do what we need to do. Another focus of sheriffs deputies in both san mateo and santa cruz counties. They are working on patrolling the neighborhoods to make sure there are any suspicious activity theres been arrest for looters in the last 2 days just here in downtown felt and ive been seeing Sheriff Deputies from all over from Santa Cruz County to alameda counties as well as the firefighters from san diego and los angeles. In felt and gayle ong kron 4 news gayle. Thank you very much. Lets take a live look outside in San Francisco to whats going on with the smoke even though the fires are. Some distance away from the city you can see it in the air through the twilight there. It doesnt look good and no very thick smoke our chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow joins us now with the weather conditions through the weekend and a larger saying theres going to be a switch in the wind direction so what will that mean yeah thats a going to be a big change for firefighters that means some of those fire lines may get challenge that have been challenge said those winds out of the northwest now were talking a switch the winds coming up. Out of the southwest. So that is going to change things, heres the very latest on the fire conditions as you look toward the Santa Cruz Mountains all the fires into the Big Basin Redwoods State Park right through that area near San Lorenzo Park Boulder Creek the name of bonny doon very a scary situation with all the fires burning in that area the winds not all that strong as much as 8 Miles Per Hour. But i think tomorrow were going to see that wind switch direction and then well throw in the possibility of some thunderstorms to get some of those thunderstorms rolling on by you can see some downdraft of the base, those thunderstorms 40 maybe 60 Miles Per Hour that will jump any fire line that you might have so be ready to evacuate if youre called on to do so make sure you get out as soon as you can lets take you up a little further to the north you see now just near vacaville and you can see all the winds are kicking in mainly on the west continuing their 9. 10 Miles Per Hour. So somewhat to we compare so thats good news for firefighters were probably have another good 12 hours for firefighters to fight these fires but then things begin to change the southwesterly winds start to kick in we start to see the chance of some more thunderstorms and thats something were watching now for one of those the former hurricane fall apart thats the remnants of genevieve and that moisture is coming our way well have more on that in a few minutes. Lawrence thank you and also coming up tonight our breaking News Coverage continues as the 3 major wildfire complexes are burning across the bay area next were going go live to its time for the biggest sale of the year on the sleep number 360 smart bed. Can it help with snoring . Ive never heard snoring. Exactly. No problem. And done save 50 on the sleep number 360 limited Edition Smart bed. Plus, free delivery when you add a base. Ends monday. Welcome back everybody we are following the breaking news as those multiple massive wildfires are burning across the bay area that includes one of the biggest fires in california the scu lightning complex fires, those fires are burning in the mountains and include a number of different locations throughout Santa Clara Alameda, contra costa, san joaquin and Stanislaus County cal fire says altogether the scu complex fires have burned more than 339,000 acres and is 10 contained tonight. 5 structures have been destroyed more than 20,000 others are still threatened tonight to First Responders and 2 civilians have been injured during the firefight heres the latest evacuation map from cal fire for the su complex. Everywhere you see there in red is a mandatory Evacuation Order if youre familiar with this area, you know its mostly sparsely covered ranch lands in the center of those mountains there but People Living in the yellow areas where there are larger populations have received an evacuation warning and could be asked to leave the area at just a moments notice. Tonight kron fours dan thorn is covering the su lightning complex fire. He is live in Santa Clara County tonight. Dan was the latest from your location. Well ken and pam as you mentioned a lot of those ranch areas that are along Mount Hamilton are still dealing with this fire. Still very smoky out here in dangerous deep in those rural areas east of san jose at grant park grant Regional Park you can see charred charred hillsides. You can also see some of the flame retardant that was dropped off to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby homes were threatened at one point and continue to be threatened theres a lot of dry brush that is out here making it very easy for this fire to spread quickly some people taking the firefight into their own hands by using heavy machinery on their property in the areas where this fire to happen firefighters say that the roads are very treacherous theres also a very narrow so. We did speak with us some of the people that are out here that say that they lost their homes, they also lost some valuable possessions and and some people actually ended up getting pretty lucky. Take a listen is a very fast fire. Very hot and very consistent. What really surprised us was how much land that it traveled over is such a short period of time it was basically like how on earth. Well fire officials have asked people to evacuate this area and they are continuing to ask people to avoid being in this area because its not likely that theyll be able to get back in for at least another night fire crews have had to be patient in terms of the ground attack some of the difficulty in traversing some of these back roads a lot of them are very rocky or sort of dirt roads and a lot of it is also a private property so the aerial attack has really been crucial in fighting into these really a deep rural areas tonight. Dan thorn reporting live for us tonight. Thank you well check back in with you a little later on we want to take a live look outside of this hour looking up along San Franciscos embarcadero where the sky looks crisp and blue, but we do know is also filled with smoke out there and chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow here. Its lawrence when you look at the different views of the bay area from different camera angles. You know different perspective doesnt look smoke at all from the market or yeah, very true and some sparks a bay area youre actually. Right along the coastline, not so much in the way of smokes weve got some spots and smoke kind of walked about the very fine particles but weve got fires all around the bay area. I mean were just surrounded by the fires now you see large complex fire that continues to burn east now of a milpitas all the way almost in the Central Valley, stretching all the sauce poured lost and also were talking about a major fire burning there of course weve had him all around the bay area just about every section another one near woodward fire continues to burn and spread very difficult rain out there. The winds were as good as it can get i think for firefighting conditions the last couple of days. And now things are going to begin to change were going to see an uptick in the winds, the winds are going to switch directions coming out of the southwest and that could be a concern for firefighters to some of the fire lines that have been challenged before with a northwesterly wind so the wind starts come up from the southwest, a different direction that may challenge some of those fire lines to throw in that the possibility of some thunderstorms not something we want. In this kind of situation but something that we may in fact yet you can see the remnants now of genevieve spinning around here off of a Baja California beginning to see some that moisture track a little bit closer to california. You see the beginning as the way the moisture beginning to slide up very similar situation, although i dont think as intense as the last storm system the push to the bear the brought 2500 lightning strikes locally so thats the good news. The bad news is theres still a possibility of some lightning these thunderstorms also on the basis of these units a very strong downdraft a 40 maybe 60 Miles Per Hour certainly get any downdraft like that in around in those fires. They can blow up in a hurry love morning weather and talk the conditions with all the smoke outside coming up in a few minutes. Lawrence thank you also coming up to moraine county firefighters rescued while a dramatic fire rescue in the dark harrowing moments for some rain county firefighters, theyre stuck on a ridge top and the fire was closing in on them as kron fours terisa stasio tells us the call for help lead to a nighttime Helicopter Rescue that was all on camera. Haas the tactical flight officer with the Sonoma County Sheriffs Department as he repelled down. This matchup to stranded marine county firefighters who were quickly. They surrounded by the woodbridge fire burning out of control near point rays you can see for yourself just how close. Those flames were coming it was concerning to say the least it as we were getting closer to realizing how close they were that the front of the head of the was really concerning and the winds were doing us any favors. So it was it was one of those situations where. I would be lying if i said i didnt have butterflies in my stomach it was just it was it was. Kind of something almost like out of a movie and adding doing this job for for a few years and up here and its definitely one of which dramatically rescued have done really quite remarkable. I mean you got the call came in at 8 oclock and you guys were able to get in there within what 35 minutes. I spoke with deputy haas about the operation one that is difficult by day. But even more so at night so at night time loss and take away a lot of so why we you know obviously you can see weve got spotlight on the helicopter, there looking down on the next both the pilot and for me because im im kind of telling the pilot whether or not were high enough low in the pilot obviously having debt to base what hes seen. On the ground with a really small field of view from the spotlight as well as my visual cues. Take maybe operation work. Says that he hasnt had a chance to talk to the tumor and county firefighters who he was able to rescue off that ridge but he certainly looks forward to speaking with them again. Deputy ha says that it feels good that all of that training really paid off i think were all a little relieved only got up there and im sure that what evidence is probably the tone of my voice, but you those guys are professionals i consider myself a professional i think we all are trying to do the best we can and i think that absolutely there was a ton of because like like i said theyre doing their and sometimes. You get into situations that you werent intending on and thats why were here to help im just im so thankful that we were able to help and. That were all ok to recess stasio kron 4 coming up our wildfire coverage continues as we follow. Multiple complex fires burning around the bay area next for him to live the Sonoma County. Crews are battling try my 4 mini munchies with marinara or ranch. Back at jack in the box. Try my 4 mini munchies with marinara or ranch. Back at jack in the box. We continue to follow breaking news tonight as dozens of wildfires continue to burn in the northeast and south portions of the bay area as well as in the mountains of san mateo and Santa Cruz County and because of a shortage of resources, cal fire has combined the multiple fires into 3 complex fires all of which was sparked by dry lightning take a look at this map you can see exactly where those complex fires are burning. They are identified as the lnu in the north bay, the scu affecting Santa Clara Alameda and contra costa counties and the czu in santa cruz and san mateo counties all together they have scorched more than what than 500,000 acres tonight the second largest and most deadly fire burning in the bay area is cla new lightning complex fire. Heres video from the various a highlands area. Where the blaze raged just days ago, and its still burning tonight the complex fires are burning in Napa Sonoma Solano and lake counties and have torched more than 325,000 acres and that number continues to climb and thats where we find kron fours noelle bellow tonight live in Sonoma County noel. Thats right i am a west of healdsburg and out here this street that im on is kind of a main drag in his west side drive and its basically all of the little roads off of this road is exactly where fire crews are working tonight. This is the wall bridge fire again like you said theres many fires that make up the lnu lightning complex the wall bridge is one of them, im going to step out of the way and see if you can. Just this layer of thick smoke that has completely blanketed this entire area tonight. Crews are stationed all along west side drive because this is theres a worry tonight that the winds will pick up and pushed the flames southwest which crews are trying to keep at bay this evening on my way up here i got off at river road which then led me to west side road. While i was there i could see the smoke just billowing from the hills just beyond the dozens and dozens of wineries thats out there below a lot of wineries had there sprinklers and water works going so that they could keep the ground as wet as possible as i made my way up west side, the smoke just continue to get thicker and thicker. I ended up on dry creek road which is in northwest. Healdsburg thats where dozens more wineries are located no damage off that main road but i watched as helicopters made several water drops in the hills. Just beyond all of those properties and then made my way down mill creek road a lot of folks on my twitter asking about mill creek road. I went down several miles probably got to the 3 or 4,000 block of mill creek. Still did not see any damage but i know just beyond that is where a lot of properties have been damaged there were several properties all up and down the area with signs alerting fire crews of water available on their properties and then came upon a man who is evacuating off felt a road. He had spent the day preparing his property for what may happen tonight. They have 10 sprinklers all over the roofs and around the house we cleared out a lot of the brush. Weve got a couple little lines and we got rid of a lot of the things that could cause them problems. We also set up a a gas powered pomp into the pool to try to bring a little bit more water on to the scene if its needed evacuated, every year in the past 4 years from either this area or another area and so this is becoming a little bit too familiar. Unfortunately, and i hope it ends. Now the area. Theyre focusing on tonight is off of sweet water springs road lots of crews have been stationed there thats just southwest of me now normally i would be able to go into the fire lines but just kind of a testament to what our cal fire crews and all all across the state are dealing with their extremely. Shortstaffed and at because theres just so many fires burning across the state so there waant anyone to take me far deep into the fire lines today unfortunately. And a lot of those roads getting down there or come very very narrow they turn into one lane roads and i really didnt want to be an issue for the fire crews who are trying to get in and out, but again as i mentioned Sweetwater Springs road is where a lot of crews are station tonight that is just south west of me here going to continue to to bring you guys updates as of right now this while bridge fire burning at 51,000 acres ken pam. Well as some of the finest wineries not only in the napa the bay area in Sonoma County but in the world are located not far from where you are it looked like there was ash falling a little while ago is that the case there. Definitely there has been asked of flying again like i said this road that im on west side drive, its a main drag and right off of here is where all of the little roads are that are leading our fire crews to the fire line lots of ash blowing today. I know of at least one winery up here in healdsburg in this Dry Creek Valley area that has lost. Several 1000 acres of their a vineyard so if there is definitely loss here. Today and hopefully the winds do not pick up too strong tonight so that so that crews can kind of maintain the line that they have right now that is west of of this road here Dry Creek Valley. No ill thank you well check back and as we mentioned another large destructive fire in the bay area is the czu fire. Its the lightning complex fire for that locations where show you a map of where those fires are burning in the santa cruz thats the area where the line between San Mateo County and santa cruz counties located in total the flames have burned roughly 67,000 acres lot of people live in those mountains, it, its forced more than 60,000 people there to flee their homes. Its just 5 contained at this hour. We know 2 people suffered minor injuries are more than 1100 firefighting personnel battling this blaze kron fours gayle ong live for us in Santa Cruz County right now in felton theyll give us the latest. Well here in downtown felton virtually a ghost town this town was evacuated earlier this week. Firefighters did have the upper hand with the weather today. They saw low winds and there are one point able to send aircraft here is video of San Mateo County. A cal fire helicopter flying over lamar and the area where its timber a lot of wood just a rover by the coast as well. So the smoke actually has been a challenge all week. Dense smoke has been grounding aircraft for firefighters the good news is theres an update that some homes were spared in some of the towns and they had it. Gave that update at a press conference earlier this afternoon. The communities of la honda. And also as carol our still. Recently safe and initially threatened at this point in time. And fulton the consultants looking really good fire has not made any progress towards that community. Was able to get a highway 90 corridor into the moment and to Boulder Creek and although very very smoky. I was able to travel deep towards the farmland of the fire and its its quite a ways pretty much hung up on the ridge top of there which is good for us because again its movies more static not really moving not advancing to the case said it past few days. Yeah over the past few days over the past few days the fire activity has been happening overnight. I can tell you there it is not windy tonight which has been the last death. All week when ive been here but its also worth noting while the acreage is growing some of that is actually a back burning a common and strategy firefighters do and they set the fires to control the fire lines so that seems like they control of some of that today and as for the people who are worried about their homes. A sheriffs deputies here in santa im santa Santa Cruz County excuse me well they made some arrests the last 2 days and i have seen. Deputies just dipping by this area in fact, im here some.

Were just trying to do what we can by stepping up and making a difference for all the families that are affected by this fire. The Evacuation Orders issued for back avail because of the lnu complex fires were lifted friday afterno all right, lets check on weather conditions chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow joining us now with the very latest or its yeah guys weve been talking about the smoke you just drive around the bay area see a wide right now weve seen a little bit of a sea breeze in the afternoon. Thats improve the air quality looking a horrible out there early on today when i first came in, but now start to see a little bit of yellow showing up so thats modern amount includes out there this time into San Francisco, Half Moon Bay and san mateo right along the coastline the air quality remained very nice as we had a westerly wind so that could things a very nice but you in the south bay still a lot of clues getting into san jose unhealthy air conditions there and then further to the Central Valley now thats likely return again tomorrow as were seeing that and the ebb and flow of the winds in the atmosphere you see that change overnight tonight, its tomorrow, those winds are calm down that smoke will start to pile up in all the different little canyons in the valleys and then as we get that seabreeze tomorrow afternoon things will change. But tomorrow we see a shift in the wind to southwesterly direction. Thats going to change everything so here we go pork want expect in the north bay, the coast, a moderate conditions right along the coastline, the east bay, unhealthy also unhealthy in the south bay youre affected you have some respiratory issues make sure you take some extra care and these kind of conditions right things are switching appears again not what we wanted to see, but weve got a chance of some more thunderstorms possibly some dry lightning, just a slight chance i think overnight tonight but a red flag warning posted for the entire bay area once again this will continue right through monday afternoon. I think that may be extended into Tuesday Morning. Im seeing a little ripple in the atmosphere that might move through late monday and into tuesday that might be enough of a trigger to keep those thunderstorms going. Right here we go this was happening weve got a ridge over the Desert Southwest youve got all that clockwise circulation around that ridge, all of a sudden youve got former hurricane genevieve fall apart so that moisture starting to get in trained around the circulation around that ridge and started to move up in the california once again thats what happened with that last storm system so now were watching for trigger youve got a couple of cells off the coastline right now the south of big sur that will start to swing up into the bay area here in the 8 hours or so theres certainly the possibility at least a slight chance some thunderstorms overnight tonight i think more importantly will be the downdraft from some of these storms you get a real strong down draw from that storm that can certainly send the fire sprawling out very rapidly it threatens some of those fire lines out there tonight the hazy conditions lot of smoke out there again tomorrow it could be a mixed bag youre going to see hazy conditions then the clouds going start to roll, especially by tomorrow evening with a chance of some thunderstorms and here we go you got that area of low pressure to the south its going to wrap around that a ridge of High Pressure in watch what happens here start to slowly work its way in our direction kind of capping off the coastline. Then theres another trough off the coast. I think this may be the trigger that may actually triggers more thunderstorms, especially monday into tuesday, but in the meantime you can see that circulation continue to rotate into california that brings the chance with it the thunderstorms computer models picking up on some of the cloud cover you watch overnight. Tell you that some patchy fog you see those clouds weve been up from the south that is some of that subtropical moisture watch what happens by tomorrow afternoon and evening you see a pretty significant batch of moisture moving in that one could be one that causes some lightning around the bay area got to watch that closely again. This is going to be some dry lightning that means were going to see that rain some precipitation with it. A lot of thats going to dry before it hits the ground so not enough really to rent the fires from continuing temperatures tomorrow still going to be hot inland plan and some 90s inland, maybe some gusty winds of 25 Miles Per Hour in around some of those fires as we get some of those thunderstorms we could see of some brief gusts a 40 maybe 60 Miles Per Hour. Heres the forecast for you unsettled weather tomorrow, slight chance of showers thunderstorms for tonight think a better chance by tomorrow evening a monday and maybe again monday night into Tuesday Morning before things begin to calm down guy so you have these 3 days looking pretty dangerous around the bay area.
