For more on the firefight were joined by cal fires Lynn Tom Welch off. Can can you give us an update where things stand right now. Yes a live update over 36,000 acres have burned and no containment of yet on this fire. And as might think theres a lot more evacuations going in the clay the fire is not much spreading with the wind down but following that rain and some of the. But you know the grafton, the trees brush that are the starting right now the morning burn. And as you mentioned, you the community to be evacuated the entire out there he is an Evacuation Order point. How have those evacuations been going when youre trying to get an entire city. Evacuated house at hows that working out. Yeah, its definitely very so they try to do it far in advance of possible, you know we dont have that luck with fire, sometimes they travel so fast, we dont have enough time. Get a warning about a quick bike. So we do try to get as much lead time we can we kind of have an idea of where the fire going to move possibly based on the weather and the conditions that we try to get people evacuated. Enter the layer that we can. We are are you still out there fighting those flames it its now this fire doesnt go to sleep. Exactly especially on nights like last night tonight when we had no humidity recovery for the fire stay very very active overnight. Its probably going to the same exact thing again right. A firefighter come on for a 24 hour shift they will work a full 24 hours and then not go off duty for 24 hours so its cycle that that keep on repeating week of firefighters on the line 24 hour today. She said the fires following the terrain and the wind doesnt appear to be as big of a factor right now with the fire so does that mean in my experience being out on these fires of the flames tend to go up slope. So people or in an area. Above the fire and theyre in hilly terrain are those the people that should be concerned right now. Yeah, definitely doesnt give us to be concerned one of the things about fires is one of the few things that we know the 4 that actually travels faster than a dozen down usually. So fire does trouble very quickly going up till now well now you are in one of those kind of an area. Definitely like keep an eye out and get out in then later dont wait to be cold believe go ahead only if youre not feeling comfortable. You know we some weve seen homes go up in hillsides and also some of the landmark wineries that had just burn down. Are there any priorities that youre setting for one building or another. You know we have to put a priority first of all for life, you know we want to protect people like that thats our number one focus protecting the report regard is that people live in their businesses their livelihood the infrastructure things you know think about such as Water Treatment plant, a water supply they can be you know major source water for the community of napa you know the things that dont really think of but we have to protect the year to make sure that infrastructure is in place when people are able to come home or unable to re bill they can do that what can you tell us about the wasteWater Treatment plant near saint helene i understand the fire is burning very close to that facility. Yeah, absolutely its definitely one of pieces of infrastructure were very concerned you know replacement or is very challenging and people are still relying on that facility enough of their daily lives that something that we will definitely try to protect. I bet we can. So no telling when this is going to be put out we understand it sits 0 containment tonight any any progress at all. Yeah, you know they made they made progress on the fire you know theyre going concern about calling any kind of containment because any certain people thinking oh theyre contain the fire going out for good. We dont want to get ahead of ourselves we want to make sure that weve got payment and that weve got lynette that safe and we know that were not going to worry about the fire spreading from that point. And so the firefighters still comfortable being able to say theyre not going there not put a percentage doctor they want to make sure that they got the job done before they got to talk about the resources to you know the firefighters are just exhausted this season. Weve had so far. And firefighters have been called in from out of state even out of the for the fire, so we had a couple of weeks ago the lnu complex fire and so on. How are the resources right now and how do things look shaping up. Tomorrow more firefighters being brought in. Yeah definitely so we were lucky enough to get the lnu lightning complex wrapped up along with the cba complex as you can flick those are 3 large fires that like they got wrapped up firefighters got a little bit of a break but a court theyre back at it again. They do understand though that here in california you know were coming into the worst month of what our you know the work on the fire could california. But theyre aware of what the head. And if we dont have any precipitation of anything that i get there by near future we know we could be a very busy for quite a while. Well let let us hope that nature gives you a bit of a reprieve i thank you so very much weve been speaking with cal fires lint ah much ah, thank you maam. And as you conditions are still right for fire red flag warning in effect until 9 oclock tonight, yeah for more we want to toss things over Lawrence Lawrence usually dont get first of the season about a 3rd for we cannot over and rain is certainly something that we can were going to see some change way back we are seeing a change in the pattern here is were seeing that onshore breeze developing outside.

Also we have our own kron fours taylor sacchi who is live at the metal wood and taylor i saw some of your pictures coming in earlier. Just stunning and heartbreaking pictures. Taylor go ahead if you hear me can unfortunately things arent looking. And unfortunately things are looking good over there can you know while several of the structures were saved. Others were destroyed and unfortunately i watched one of the lodges burned to the ground if you take a look at that video that i shot by shot earlier. Well see exactly what im talking about here. Now again this is one of the lodge is at the meadow wood resort and as you can see. Its a total loss, but firefighters were nearby to keep an eye out and protect other lodges nearby while the clubhouse remained pretty much on touched in some of the areas some of that event and conference spaces next door that overlooked the golf course were reduced to rubble. Firefighters tell me theres about 3 or 4 strike teams on the property which is about 60 80 firefighters. I also saw crews from cal fire that the city fire big bear fire victorville rancho and apple valley in addition to those areas though that i showed you i saw many spot fires on the property which are raising concerns as we continue into the night. But thankfully, the air isnt as strong, you know i can actually see the moon not seeing as much smoke but it is a big concern and firefighters tell me that they will remain on scene throughout the night too and look after that property and save it as much as they can. In our lives and lena Taylor Force Act the kron 4 news taylor. Thank you very much for that live for one of the first people at the met would resort to see it burning as we were mentioning was journalist, adam housley. And he described what he saw when he arrived on the scene. They say that most of the cottages that the good at college maine. Building which people and i had entered their again but letting i watched burn to the ground and fire crews there. They were doing what they just unfortunately not members got into part of the wood. A structure up on the roof level and at that point theres nothing they could do i watched it burn. Housley says this is a blow to the surrounding community and that is indeed an understatement. Then take a look at this is ash coming from the glass far it could be seen falling. In santa rosa this is footage. Just after this morning as some people reported seeing at least an inch of ash on their cars on their Patio Furniture there as you can see and the sky also was orange, well lets take a live look in San Francisco to see how things are shaping up weve had the problems in the past with. Real heavy smoke coming into the city from all those big complex fires couple weeks ago the key. Lawrence karnow is here to talk were going to see any improvement at all for the firefighters out there it should get better for the firefighters for quality probably not so much in fact is probably going to get worse. That wind has been enough to keep a lot of that smoke aloft will as that wind begins to calm down you start to see some of that smoke settling near the surface more the ash on the ground. So those winds that were blowing 30 to 50 Miles Per Hour the north bay, lets start to calm down quite a bit good news for firefighters, bad news for quality right now its not that bad in fact youre looking a good air quality in the San Francisco mill valley also on the novato moderate amounts of fluids you get inside the bay into san jose but not really bad. The worst is in little more by tomorrow though that really all changes we start to see some of that smoke settled down near the where you might expect to see some of the worst air quality is going to be the north bay thats where youre seeing in and around that fire, some that smoke and pushed all the way out in the pacific and now we get a little westerly component win and that smoke really just going to push back on shore settling in near the service so very unhealthy air quality expected in around the fire much of the north bay. Poor air quality even inside the bay tomorrow going to be very hazy outside along the coastline. Thats probably just enough a sea breeze to keep your fresh air right along the immediate coast s led skies back to you all right, thank you lawrence of course of damage is not limited to napa and sonoma what nap in particular as we mentioned the glass fires also burning in Sonoma County and our kron fours dan thorn as you can see is live there tonight. Hes in santa rosa with a look at the destruction that people. Are facing there. Dan. Thats right ken and vickie were off of highway 12 in nolita road right now we saw a number of homes that were destroyed down here highway 12 the fire jumping. The highway at one over the overnight hours. If you could take a look behind me here all see how well i can show the images here we actually have the fire burning behind us here at and in del state park. This is east santa rosa that we are in right now a little difficult to see but earlier we re seeing it really sort of lighting up and it was heading down towards Channel Drive where were told number of homes are also in that area. But earlier today we went to the sky hawk neighborhood. Thats a long. Mountain hawk drive Mountain Hawk road. We saw several homes that were destroyed there as well. However didnt look like the fire just completely barreled through and and took out number of homes, it was sort of like it was playing a game where it was sort of hopping from one home to another and burning through these right now it is populate pitch black out in these areas because the power has been shut off. We also went up los almost road earlier deeper up into where the fire had broken out early sunday morning to check out some of the damage there in the road was practically impassable with downed power lines and also a lot of trees that were blocking the roads there and also a lot of rocks that have sort of fallen on the narrow roads up in that area we ended up speaking with a couple of people there who were trying to get up into the zones to see if some of their homes were still going to be there. Thats after some people out here already lost homes because of the tubbs fire in on the 2017 so fire crews are sort of just been working out here tonight kind of making their way through highway 12 continues to be closed in these areas. Fire still burning behind us here tonight fire officials are just hoping to get a handle on these flames and making sure that people are staying safe by staying out of the area ken and vickie dan im curious how people are holding up there they went through the tubbs fire. Just 3 years ago came down from calistoga over Fountain Grove in the coffey park. Now this is more on the eastern and southern ends of santa rosa, but its a similar kind of scenario. It sounds like the evacuations have gone a lot smoother more people got the word more people understood the significance but still its heartbreaking has to be really tough for a lot of these residents to have to go through this almost every year. And thats right and heartbreaking stressful. People are are pretty much saying it Climate Change is something that needs to be addressed Forest Management needs to be something that that needs to be addressed out here and it seems as though like you said its getting hotter every year these fires are getting worse every year so. Its as as one person put it to me yesterday, the price of living in paradise. But you dont want to see some bodies home leave of Course Material things can be replaced, but its still devastating to have to go through this again and again every year. Yeah thank you dan thorn. I mean let let us hope either theyre not quite out of the woods yet maybe if the weather works for the firefighters things will calm down. Thank you. Dan reporting for us live now from santa rosa, wildfire continues in just a moment, this is video from saint kaleena the glass fire has burned thousands of acres after the break were yeah, thats half the fun of a new house.

Were in the sky hawk neighborhood of santa rosa and as you can see behind me burned down homes, however this is not like 2017, yes, there are numerous homes that have burned but numerous homes are Still Standing its not like. Entire neighborhoods have burned down. Fire Officials Say thats because this fire is completely different than the one in 2017. This was not one solid wall of fire that moved in the city limits, its spotted in the city and some plan some areas a mile ahead of itself. So a lot of areas with a lot of work that needs to be done. And we understand that the evacuations of affected 10s of thousands of people in santa rosa as well as in Sonoma County. We definitely want to be able to get people back home but its going to potentially be several days in order to do that neighborhoods that have been evacuated include rincon valley. As well as skyhawk where we are Oakmont Molina and now Bennett Valley because the fire has gotten into an adele state park. But if theres one thing working in firefighters favor tonight. Its the fact that winds have really come down. Residents are hoping that if they made it through sunday night, the house might make it through monday night. And dan kerman and santa rosa back to you in the studio. Right and our wildfire coverage continues in just a moment, this is video from santa rosa where dozens of homes have been burned by this glass fire after the break. Well hear from the state senator who is serving the front lines this morning is for ceas prepare for their first playoff game tomorrow in oakland against Chicago White sox and your bottom alvin has named his starting the unfair money bail system. He, accused of rape. While he, accused of stealing 5. The stanford rapist could afford bail; got out the same day. The Senior Citizen could not; forced to wait in jail nearly a year. Voting yes on prop 25 ends this failed system, replacing it with one based on public safety. Because the size of your wallet shouldnt determine whether or not youre in jail. Vote yes on prop 25 to end money bail. As our wildfire coverage continues tonight, one of the people in the thick of things today north bay state senator bill dodd, he theres been forced to watch a large portion of his district just go up in flames, the senator also a napa resident kron fours Catherine Heenan talk to him today after he toured some of the worst hit areas alongside the napa county sheriff. There was a lot of issues a lot of homes that are already been hurt fires that were you know approaching different areas from Different Directions that they were just yesterday and many many areas the fire still burning alonso broader trail. You youre giving me some of the early details that i havent heard before about high end resort. What are you seeing in terms of resorts that have been damaged or lost. Well one that was particularly stark was house over she beautiful beautiful. High you know to the east of silverado trail. It was just completely devastated. Nothing standing, its really nothing left nothing of value. It was just you know really really stark we did get it saw a number of homes in the hills up around better would resort which got hit pretty badly. They were able to say you know the there a reception area clubhouse that many many other units enforced. Were gone in many many of the homes. The senator has already talk to constituents today who have lost everything he says its really almost impossible to find the words to say to bring people in any hope especially those who have suffered in past wildfires. For some people affected by the glass fire. Its an eerie reminder of the 2017 tubbs fire in fact a 3 Year Anniversary for that fires as next week. Wind and heat are to blame and both of the fires but a 3rd factor and overabundance of dry fuel that is feeding the fire. San jose state weather researcher we talked to a fire weather researcher says that fuel moisture levels in that area are at an alltime low. The fly fuel moisture a living shrubs and trees so we sample that says a state that has number of agencies also sample around Northern California and southern california. The fuel moisture content of these right now are our record low. And that has to do with the fact that we have drought year. I mean we had a low rain near this past winter and so that really is problematic that so we had a lot of big fires this year because that fuel moisture content. And right now so are sites that we sample last week. There are below 60 in the high 50s thats really really critical and so we get to those low thresholds its its makes these plants just easy to ignite and burn. And its not just the north bay clements in his team of measuring live fuel moisture in the Santa Cruz Mountains another fire prone areas across california. Many areas are seeing fewer moisture levels that would not normally be seen until deep into october. More than 50,000 people have been forced to leave their homes due to these wildfires that are burning in Northern California. Reporting on the last fire burning in napa sonoma death has burned dozens of homes, firefighters. Really stretched thin all across the state as they battle more than 27 major wildfires, which is close to 4 million acres in this state in Santa Rosa Logan her tell. I was driving by when he saw neighbors house on fire and thats when he got out and tried to save it. So does is run by and and really just look my left and saw in and then the rest of firefighters try to you know tell them to put it out. Like they got. Enough on their hands already so. Under the step in its. About the fire. Her tell a Good Samaritan firefighters as you can see there did arrive to help fire officials are urging people though to evacuate if they are asked to us.

At last check let fewer than 300 customers in napa county did not have power pg e says about 37,000 customers lost power due to the wildfires burning across Northern California, including the glass fire. Sports from the team t fiber sports desk. Well get the start in game, one of their wildcard series with the Chicago White sox this is the 3rd straight will be playing postseason baseball but they havent won a postseason game since 2013, a stagnant offense has plagued them in their last 2 wildcard appearances and oakland didnt exactly spring into the postseason this year there are just 1412 in september and saw a significant drop in their offensive production. But this is a new year and this time around lazaro will get the start last year he pitched 3 strong innings in relief duty in that wildcard round but obviously more will be expected of him this time around and bob melvin believes his young alarm is ready for the test. As we saw last year we you know we use them in a different role. We brought him in the wildcard games and looked like a veteran on the mount you know its really well hes compose hes got great stuff. I think youre is one of those guys that kind of relishes these type of games. All righty heres how that aids white sox series breaks down game one and 2 tuesday and wednesday at the coliseum both first pitches are scheduled for noon game 3 if necessary would be thursday also in oakland that time is to be determined will have coverage out there at the coliseum tomorrow. Now from an injury standpoint, feels like the fortyniners are taking one step forward and 2 steps backwards. Yes, they won on sunday and nick mullens look great but they lost another one of their tight ends in the process, one they had big plans for jordan reed sprained his mcl late in the 2nd quarter. He will be placed on the iron miss 6 to 8 weeks reid had been playing some great football. This season, he led the niners with 11 catches on the year and also has 2 touchdown catches and this is after only getting 10 snaps in the opening week, the niners plan to ease him back in after signing late with the team in an already shortened offseason ca shanahan saw him and George Kittle as a tight end duo that can blow up opposing defensive game plans. But now both of them were on kittle should be back soon and read. Who has dealt with his fair share of injuries in his career will attack every have to look to return in the 2nd half of the season. I know hes disappointed but im not discouraged. You know i think he was really like murray is out this isnt some is going to take some time.
