That reduces the number of customers affected to a half million and 22 counties that includes lake, marin, napa, sonoma and solano counties. This morning cal fire crews battling the kincade fire are reporting the wind was not as strong as originally forecast and the high wind advisory has been canceled. Officials say that could lead to better than expected containment numbers this morning once they get a chance to analyze the work ground crews were able to do overnight. The last report was 15 containment. 189 buildings including 86 homes have been destroyed. Lets go out to Sara Zendehnam in Sonoma County. I know firefighters are hoping that the wind conditions will help them. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Thats right. Not too windy here in Sonoma County right now. We are on highway 128. We pulled over because we saw fire vehicles on the side of the road and this is why. Take a look at this structure that is still smoldering behind us. This is off of highway 128 in the healdsburg area. The wind really has not been as bad as was forecasted. The National Weather Service Canceled a high wind advisory because when below 2500 feet has died down. But we are still under a red flag warning. The wind is Strong Enough and humidity is low enough to create critical fire weather conditions. Cal fire says spot fires are still a possibility. The good news, Mother Nature will cooperate with firefighting efforts. Windspeed will drop significantly after today but that doesnt mean the area is safe. As we go one through the week, we will see that fire threat and the fire behavior slowly diminished as we start getting more favorable conditions, however, the deep seated heat and the big stone poles and the trees that have been weakened by fire as well as the wind still cause problems as those tend to roll out and roll downhill and start new fires for us. Reporter firefighters are attacking the flames from the ground and the sky. Since the start of the kincade fire, 27 helicopters have dropped 2. 1 million gallons of water. And air tanker fleet has dropped 1 million gallons of retardant. Cal fire hopes to have the fire fully contained by november 7.

We were driving up here earlier and really not much wind to speak up. We saw smoky conditions and theres a lot of ash out here so air quality as to be expected is not great but it does seem that firefighters are able to get a handle on the kincade fire.

Roughly 400,000 impacted customers are those who were originally hit by Public Safety power shutoff over the weekend. The latest round coming after the head of the Company Bill Johnson agreed to credit customers affected by the october credit customers affected by the october 9 shut off.

Governor Gavin Newsoms request, the company will now offer a one time bill credit to customers due to website glitches and callcenter problems surrounding the october 19 meant. They will begin process of crediting customers for this disruption. This is significant because utilities in the past have never credited customers for these disruptions.

Reporter mark is among the younger tenants at Bennett House in fairfax. The 68yearold is checking on disabled neighbors trapped on the third floor. No power. No elevator since saturday.

Not all the people here even have flashlights. Reporter phyllis, a rosie the riveter, contacted ktvu to shine a light on the impact of the outage on her and the dozens of other tenants in her building. Its been hard mentally. I just broke down yesterday and i couldnt stop crying. Reporter the residence tell me there is no manager or worker who lives on site. They said they have asked to manage it for a generator prior to the outage but have not received one. Maybe the elevator could work so the people who are trapped upstairs who are disabled and very old can get downstairs if they need to get out. My big fear here is a fire. Reporter those fortunate enough to live on the first floor are relying on a generator owned by keltner to power on a television in the community room. Wheelchairs, medical devices and phones as well. They are my neighbors and friends. Most of them come half of them i dont even know because they live inside their apartments and they are in wheelchairs and totally helpless without electricity. Its been a terrifying experience for me. Reporter the tenants tell me there is no hot water and its cold. Im told summer turning on their stoves for warmth. They have been warned not to do so but some are forgetful. We have folks here who are in their 80s and 90s. In fairfax, amber lee, ktvu fox 2 news. That so hard. My mom.

You can see the traffic here on 25 and 152, a little bit slower on 25 but really it looks pretty good over to 101 and from that point, say marteen up to morgan hill, a touch of slow traffic there. And for the most part driving into the valley looks good. No major problems in san jose. This is why people get up so early, to beat the traffic. This is 880 north and south in front of Oakland Coliseum and getting to the bay bridge, there is a backup. The metering lights have been turned on. A 510 minute delay before you make it onto the span. I can notice here that the weather is clear. I can see all the way out to the hills. Very clear. Thats true.

For some people in the bay area , the Current Power shutoffs could be close to a week without electricity. In marin county many have been heading to San Francisco where the power is on to get food, charge their phones and fill up the gas tanks. Christien kafton has that story. Reporter the latest Public Safety power shutoff has left much of marin county in the dark. Many of the shops on ridgeway and sausalito are without power. A Sausalito Ferry Company is still open but without power to run its register, for now, its cash only. We are fortunate the store has skylights and provides enough light that customers can come in. I also know the toy story across the street has no skylights and its dark as a tomb. The company that reporter the Power Outages sending people flooding into San Francisco where the electricity is still running and the gas is still flowing. Customer say they felt like they were coasting into the shell station on lombard on fumes. Yesterday there werent any gas stations open. I went from mill valley into san rafael and cannot find a single gas station open so today i brought my older daughter here with friends and i purposely brought them here because i wanted to fill up. The line for gas stretching onto lombard for five or six cars deep at times. Those customers frustrated being without power since saturday. Its frustrating. I think its obviously very sad about whats happening north of me so im trying to have a good attitude about it. Reporter in addition to filling up many residents are spending the day in San Francisco. Businesses on Chestnut Street say theyve been busy with schools closed and no power at home, some residents say pets and kids need to get out of the house at least for a few hours.

Go get some pancakes and things like that and just try to kill time too because you can only fill the time so much with boardgames and different things. Reporter the gas station told us they had so many customers monday and tuesday they had to call for an extra delivery of gasoline to keep the underground tanks full. In San Francisco, christien kafton, ktvu fox 2 news. It is a tourist community and a lot of the local businesses rely on the income from our tourists. Next, how one Bay Area Community is coping with the pg e Power Outages as businesses continue to lose money. For the mundane. The aweinspiring. The heartracing. The heartbreaking. Thats what life is all about. Showing up. Unless migraine steals your chance to say. I am here. We aim to change that. With aimovig. A preventive treatment for migraine in adults. One dose, once a month. Aimovig is proven to reduce the number of monthly migraine days. For some, that number can be cut in half or more. Dont take aimovig if youre allergic to it. Allergic reactions like rash or swelling can happen hours to days after use. Common side effects include injection site reactions and constipation. It doesnt matter what each day brings. So long as you can say. I am here. Aim to be there more. Talk to your doctor about aimovig. It takes a village to raise to build a bridge. To throw a baseball. To throw yourself into the unknown. To lose fear, to create hope. We believe that it takes a village of over 200thousand dedicated, passionate, driven medical and nonmedical professionals to deliver on our belief in total health for all. We are kaiser permanente. Thrive. Good morning and welcome back to mornings on 2. Middle of the week, wednesday, october 30. Im dave clark. Im pam cook. Thank you for joining us. We begin with breaking news about the Public Safety power shutoff. The utility canceled the planned outages in alameda, contra costa, santa clara, santa cruz and san mateo. Overnight wind was not as strong as predicted. Prompting the National Weather service to cancel that wind advisory for most areas. Pg e says no homes or businesses in the counties lost power during this last round of shots. About 500,000 customers in 22 counties lost power in the fourth Public Safety power shutoff of the month. Fire but is grateful to get a break from the weather as they battle the massive kincade fire. Forecast for strong overnight wind turned out to be not as bad as expected. Cal fire says that may mean ground crews made progress against the flames. The latest report shows flames covered 119 square miles by late last night. The fire is 15 contained. More than 4800 firefighters across the western u. S. Are battling the kincade fire. In developing news. Firefighters in santa rosa are cleaning up after an Early Morning house fire there. Allie rasmus is there live this morning talking with the Fire Department. They had extra fire crews on standby because of that red flag warning. Probably good news for that homeowner. Reporter yes. They were able to respond quickly and had a large presence out here. Right now there two fire engines, a ladder truck and a dozen firefighters from the Santa Rosa Fire Department cleaning up after a fire broke out on mission boulevard at this home behind us. This is in the Rincon Valley neighborhood. The fire broke out in the garage of this home around 3 20 am. Earlier, shortly after the fire broke out, there were as many as six fire engines and a ladder truck and 50 firefighters. That is a larger than normal response for a house fire but the battalion chief explained they have those extra engines, firefighters and resources ready because they had more stuff for tonight. They wanted to be prepared in case the kincade fire spread to the area and also be ready for the high risk fire danger overnight. Any small fire that gets going to turn into a confrontation if the wind were to pick up. We are still under those conditions so we want to make sure anything that starts up, that we knock it out quickly and effectively in the way to do that is by adding personnel which is engines and ladder trucks. Reporter a neighbor across the street who lost his home in the tubbs fire two years ago says everyone in this neighborhood is on alert. Many people are ready to evacuate within a moments notice. He described how he felt when he woke up in small flames at the house across the street. About five seconds of panic and then you realize youve been packed for almost a week. Everything is loaded up and everything is ready to roll out. So, we are good. Unfortunately we are all getting good at this so, from two years ago. Reporter again, no wildfire out here. This was a house fire that happened earlier this morning. You can see it is out. No one was home when the fire broke out according to firefighters so no people were hurt but firefighters said unfortunately they did find a dog that died in this fire. The power was out to this neighborhood when this happened so firefighters and investigators will try to determine how the fire started in the first place. Allie rasmus, ktvu fox 2 news. It is 5 34 am. Lets go over to steve. Its been a big and busy week with all this weather and wind. I would say it started last wednesday. About a week. Look what we have been through. A lot.

We are seeing more people on the road. I want to mention that 80 westbound through Solano County looks pretty good through vallejo and heading out to hercules. Driving on 680, the venetia bridge looks very good. Traffic is light heading into concord. It probably wont stay this way for long. There is some slowing on 37 as you head on the other side of the bridge heading over towards sonoma and marin county. No major problems as youre driving on 80 between the carquinez bridge and the macarthur maze. At the bay bridge we have a backup at the toll plaza.

Reporter if the folks and Sonoma County are weary and nervous, of fall wildfires, the folks of lake countys middletown area are shellshocked. Five years in a row and it just doesnt want to stop. Reporter this time the kincade fire appears to put its sights on middletown. Very disheartening. Its like, when will it end . When will it stop . Reporter officials are so concerned because of the big guns. The 747 supertanker and the only slightly smaller dc10 tanker plus an array of other large jets and prop tankers as well as many helicopters that make run after run at the fire that makes its run on middletown. Ive been concerned with everything thats been burned so far. Ive been concerned for the past two years of that area catching on fire and coming this way because it did not burn over there. Now we have it. Its really stressful. You know, pts. Here we go again. Is starting to get to be a real pain. This will be, if i have to evacuate from this one it will be my fourth time. Reporter all the while windspeed has stepped up making the firefight harder. Youre just waiting for it to move one more ridge. My family is ready to evacuate. We have the car packed. The plan and whos going and what car with the dog. Im the last one to leave. Reporter during the last half decade, many have left permanently. Its almost like this place is designed for fire. Its almost like it was meant to burn. What pg e has done right now by doing this power thing, its almost like martial law where they control everything in your life. We have to watch this fire line behind us, keep the generator running for the family. Try to get fuel. Its almost like a fulltime job. Its sad to see california go through this because its devastating the state.
