Conditions today. And that is a big relief for homeowners who decided to ignore mandatory evacuations orders and decided to stay put. A veteran, im experienced. This is not our first rodeo. Reporter this man and several neighbors on the sparks ranch decided to ride out the fire. Bob watched as flames last night charred a hillside not far away. I dont feel in danger. I dont feel like theres going to be any reporter at what point will you leave . If i see it coming over the ridge. Reporter those who didnt want to take chances left with their animals and whatever they could put in suitcases. A little tired. Call it anxious, right . Got some anxiety going on.

The biggest fire thats been happening is the rocky fire. Debora villalon back on the fire line, you learned the fire is still spreading and causing more people to evacuate from home. Were on the east side of clear lake. Were watching this ridge about 5 miles away. The rocky fire, flames still growing and occasionally leaping up.
