That driver was coming down the steep road when lost control. Ali is at the scene and will have a live report. People are starting to move in once again and the firefighters are getting a higher percentage contained here. And then we have this story. Its very dangerous to drive, because if the weight shifts, then it could pull you off the road. They keep them from slushing around too much, but it could be one of those things that hetried to make the turn and it pulled him off the truck. We have seen that on i. 80 before. Lets get to the fires. Yes, the officials sounded optimistic where they had reached a point of success and the containment is up and one of the largest fires, tubbs in regards to acres. They say they have a better mapping for it so thats why theres a difference. Es a difference. Now to the latest on the three largest fires. Atlas is 68 contained and thats up from 3 last night.

Reporter well, yes, and the person that died was a contract firefighter, hes still part of the Fire Fighting family thats been together tackling this fire for the past 8 days, so it really hits the firefighters hard when Something Like this happens. Where we are, at oakville grade and just west of highway 29. You can see they have several emergency vehicles here to the right of that guardrail is where that truck overturned. Its up sigh down and upside down here and well show you the video from the scene. About 10 minutes before 7 00 a. M. , that driver came down and lost control of his vehicle. Again, the vehicle went off the road and overturned and ended up upside down. Now the fire chief says they dont know he lost control, but 8 days into this intense fire fight, fatigue is one of many factors they will look into. Everyone is getting tired. Theres been no break for them since theyerupted and thats a factor were aware of and we consider it in our daily activities. Activities. Reporter now the area of the fire that this driver was coming from has been active over the last 24 hours. This is the nuns fire and near st. John. You can see the smoke plumes visible from the highways hereand a winery, and the cake bread sellers are all in that area, however the cal chief says that people shouldnt be too concerned. This fire seems to be burning into a canyon downhill and theyre not worried about it spreading closer to the vineyards and closer to highway 29. Right now, at oakville, theyre starting to investigation and figuring how this crash happened. This deadly crash involving a driver of a water tender vehicle that was coming from the front lines of the nuns fire. That driver died. Driver died. Live in napa, thank you. Over the weekend, the evacuation orders were lifted for the city of napa the city of napa and yesterday, many people returned to their homes for the First Time Since the fires erupted 8 days ago. One couple had rushed out from their retirement home near the country club late saturday nightas the flames raced towards their condo. This is the pool, they had solar panels here and the ping pong table. Pong table. I dont know how it got from here and then left ours alen. Itsalone. Its relief and then some guilt too happening now, napa country officials are opening an assistance center. The center is at the local county Health Department on cooperate drive. Its open from 9 00 a. M. To7 00 p. M. The center will provide financial help as well as other service. Other service s. Theyre getting control over the north bay, yet many homes are still threatened. Well tell you about the fire fight near the town of kenwood. And steve has been saying that the rain could actually play a role in the next couple of days. You say that the models are saying this could come true. Well its not a big system, heaviest to the north, but a tenth to a quarter inch of rain could fall and that would be the best thing. The good news is that the wind events we have had over the lastcouple of days, the last was over the weekend. Things have really tails off. The red flag warning is off and its still warm and dry and hot, 80s to 90s and theres a still a breeze. As that continues, the air quality is improving for some and worse for others. Its not as high as its been, but its going up and the inland valleys and concord to livermore, thats gone. But over to San Francisco its getting worse as the north wind brings it back. Gill roy has improved, and you can see the wind here. 18 to 2600 feet and northeast there, theres a northeast for a lot of locations, so were not done with that, and it goes backSan Francisco. 87 for the high in napa, maybe some, but mostly hot and warmer. Its warmer by a long shot. Rain thursday and friday morning and my experience is that the system from the north shows up sooner than later. Farther to the north, could be some decent amounts, maybe a third to half an inch of rain and that would be beneficial to all. To all. We get the clouds from the west and were waiting for a system on thursday. The wind is favorable and then its cooler after midweek. We should certainly start to get much better conditions for the firefighters. Absolutely. Thank you. Over the past week here, the fire videos we have shown have been just surreal. A berkeley firefighter that was called to fight fires recorded what might be the most eye opening imagines. We have the story from the fire lines fire lines reporter when they got the call that the santa rosa needed help, they along with 4 other engines headed north and more than they could have imagined. Wow. They saw hills on fire and homes and businesses, the flames from all sides. Rom all sides. Look at this, all kinds of structures around here on fire. Re on fire. Are you serious . Berkeley for, mike shot the video and added captions. So that was the biggest event we have ever responded to. They didnt stop here, because the flames were so hot that the building was lost. Ost. Is that a gas station. I can feel that heat, can you feel that kyle . Oh my gosh. Wow, its blowing out there. Out there. Firefighters admit they got uneasy as it spread. Then they came across this subdivision, burned to the ground. Its like a bomb went off. Its hard to wrap your mind around, that thousands of thousands of homes were burnt to the grounds within minutes. At one point, they worried about power lines about power lines chain saw using chainsaws to cut through the fences they fell back on their training, hosing down what they could as the fire jumped from house to house. They had to break the momentum and with the winds, they saved 30 homes. Its just absolutely heart breaking. You know those are peoples homes and theyre probably the most special and important thing to them. To them. You can hear it in their voice on the drive in, just how devastating it is. Yet still able to save 30 homes. Some of them have been working like 4 days with nothing more than a 20 minute nap stolen here and there. You see them sleeping on the side of the road and the thing about the video is that they had to make a decision at some point to let some buildings go. Buildings go. So still to come, the latest numbers on containment and the evacuees as they are allowed back. And the different opinion over the impact on tax reform at ikea, we believe that for every busy day there should be a cozy dream bedroom. That you can find the comfort youre looking for at a price youve been waiting for. That the cost of a good nights sleep shouldnt keep you up at night. And we believe. That cozy should never be costly. Taking a peek at stocks, you can see that the dow is on the plus side here, and the s p is essentially flat and the samefor the nasdaq. Well the Trump Administration says that americans will save thousands of dollars, but not everyone agrees with the plan ees with the plan a new report shows that the average house hold will get an estimated 4,000dollar pay bump reporting in tax savings when spread across the board. President trump first boasted of the expected boost in a recent speech for tax reform. Yourself gonna spend that money. And the estimated biggest winners would be the corporations and the businesses and that might put a burden on taxpayers. The problem is that you dont have a good sense with how many Economic Growth will come from this. Still the white house says that reducing the cooperate tax rate would only resort in more money in their pockets. If its passed the reform would kick in four years later. Ter. 7 people have been hurt and one person is missing following the explosion of an oil rig in louisiana. It happened last night north of new orleans. Five of the people are listed in critical condition. Theyre still searching for the cause and may be tied to cleaning chemicals about 40 navy ships are taking part in drill. North korea has called this joint military exercise a rehearsal for war. The leader from new york will challenge finestein next year in politics.

Alex has more on the Community Still being threatened on this monday morning even as crews say they have turned the corner on the fight. As we have been reporting, the weather has bee helping firefighters, but the crews are taking a stance in protecting homes. Reporter yeah, good morning to you. This is really at this point one of the more concerning areas of the nuns fire where we are, just north of sonoma. We have one of those checkpoints here, closest to glen ellen and then kentwood. Heres video from earlier this morning and we saw the active fire in the hills just east of kenwood, right along the adobe road and in that area, theres quite a bit of homes up there being threatened by the fire. E fire. Now, the weather though is certainly helping those crews on the ground. Very calm conditions in terms of wind, not much to speak of, but we know that this is shaping up to be a very warm day and thats causing quite a bit of concern. The low humidity the causing a concern as they try to get the upper hand on this fire. On this fire. And i talked to cal fire and whether they have getting the upper hand. Do you feel like youre turning the corner on all the fires . I could say with the conditions today it feels that way, but its hard to say with any certainty, depending on the weather and winds, if we have a little wind and spot fires going into different places where theres no crew, it really changes the game. Reporter eporter yeah, and so thats really the concern. Concern. Whether the winds do pick up in any sort of area, even in the higher elevation, sometimes the gusts can be higher than where we have been, like more flat ground. At ground. The communities of concern are the oakmont and kenwood areas. These are half way from santa rosa and sonoma along highway 12 and one portion of the nuns fire is still burning actively. At last check the checking the nuns fire, its 50 contained here and if the weather holds, we should get more. Lets hope for a good day there in kenwood.

Every day for the next two weeks at the old press democratic building in santa rosa. Some people had to evacuate and said they never received any warning to get out. We looked into the issue. The Officials Say they call the land lines and alerts about the evacuations to cell phone, but the problem is that you have to be signed up to get the alerts and just a small amount of people signed up for them. People have expressed their frustration. I see fires and i said, do we have to evacuate . They said no. They said no. Within 20 minutes of being told you dont need to evacuate, she was driving through fire. To get out. What would you say to people that dont feel they were alerted . Well i would encourage them to sign up for the alerts. People all had hard lines and we called everybody in the area easily. So when you get rid of that theres a problem. Its a sirentype system and we asked why not send that wireless alert and the sheriff says that it would have causes panic on the road. So do you have land lines at home . I do. I am old fashioned, you be i think but im old school. Youre talking about the cop over lines, not the voip. We were thinking any case of a earthquake. So sign up for the alerts, its a good measure for yourself as well. Coming up, communities coming together as people begin to rush to the fire zones. And one man finds out how his high school was damaged. Coming up, what types of help are being offered for victims of the fires. How about the drawer . No monsters. Nightly monster checks are how grant makes home his. And homegoods is what makes it all possible. Amazing finds. Always great prices. Make home yours. Without pg es assistance, without their training our collaboration with pg e is centered around public safety. We could not do our mission to keep our Community Safe. Anytime we are responding to a structure fire, one of the first calls you make is for pg e for gas and electric safety. Its my job to make sure that they have the training that they need to make the scene safe for themselves and for the public. Its handson training actually turning valves, turning systems off, looking at different wire systems all that training is crucial to keeping our Community Safe and our firefighters safe.
