We want to show you what i would like. It looked like this. And wildfire lore in science, where there is a smoke column, you will almost find a fire at the bottom of it. The current problem in napa county, lots of smoke column, some small, some enormous. The robert craig winery is only about two miles from the center of this town. Here, fullcourt ground and air assault is underway. They drop bucket after bucket after bucket of water blaming brush. Firefighters are concerned that this fire is going to get up and angling, it is going to have to come up through this valley. And they are doing everything humanly possible to keep that from happening. Another major problem, this area has already burned once, but not hot spots are flaring up. And next to the hospital, almost an unlimited amount of burnable fuel. Even as firefighters battled fires all around, and gusty winds from the red light morning bearing down, essential repairs were going on. Here outside of santa rosa, concrete barriers are being placed along highway 12 where guard real supports of a burden away. With so many utility poles are damaged are all into the ground, new polls are being brought in his stockpile, in order to make the repairs safe and permanent. Shes badly burned in the fires are being trimmed. Especially about roads where the trees have weakened limbs that can and do fall away, and could potentially hit a vehicle. Without a lot of this work being done now, people who have been evacuated cannot return. And normal traffic cannot be allowed. In napa county, apparently some embers started a small fire in a heavily wooded area, at the crest of the road. We found several crews working to cut leister an area that might have to be defended if the fires come to this place. There are fires all over california. But for now, it appears that the most critical battle is a battle fully joined as a smoke will allow. It is fair to say that this fire is relentless. It is fair to say that any kind of wind is a problem. And it is fair to say that the fight will continue. As i said yesterday, that youre looking for a light at the end of the tunnel, they just have no idea how long the tunnel is. , i know the fire is so large. But we did show pictures of an airplane dropping on the flames. And also other aircraft. Of up until now, there have only been helicopters. Did you see the airplane, by chance . I know two days ago the 747 was working when the smoke situation was better. But where i am right now, the smoke is the and widespread, that the helicopters we are working were literally trying to thread through the smoke. In order to actually deliver the payloads because there was a link right next to them. That is an okay to do. Because if they cannot make the drop, they will either go up in the air and wait, or they will leave the area. But, with these larger aircraft, you have to be able to see the target in order to hit it. And you dont want to be too close to the ground where you dont have really good air side, because the aircraft are hard to control lower to the ground. And you dont have any space below you to make up for anything that might go wrong. So when the smoke goes away they will be able to hit it harder. But it was mostly a helicopter operation today. What about the red flag conditions . It doesnt look that windy where you are, but i imagine it gets more windy as you go up higher. How about the it is about 96 degrees. It is about 21 humidity. And yes, the higher you go, the more likely you are to run into these higher winds. Because, obviously, there is less blocking them. Down here, theres a fairly High Mountain wall behind us. But the reality of the situation is the higher you go, the more you whens you are going to run into. Last night after we were driving home, it was amazing. We were driving and you could see fire in the mountains a couple of miles away. What was amazing was how hard the winds were blowing, really creating a spectacle with the fire as it consumed tree after tree after tree. Lets hope they continue to get more containment. Because like you said, as of tonight only 5 containment. They want to get up to at least 35 . Thank you tom.
