Area geyserville then it was spread on the heels bergen windsor, then they started evacuating santa rosa. 2 firefighters have been hurt. None of the public has been her nobodys were reported missing. At this point the 2 firefighters hurt. So what were hoping that theyre ok especially one that was actually had to be taken to hospital 94 structures, including many homes burned so far in this fire and that is why they say it is serious when they ordered evacuation got to get out see why the winds can change in any direction in in one case over the weekend we saw hurricane strength wind yeah with wind gusts to some of the peaks topping 7475 Miles Per Hour which is the threshold for a category one hurricane. We have to make sure to to really point out the fact these are sustained winds like you have in hurricane these are just pick us that hit momentarily, but they are strong strong epough to topple trees and weve seen lots of that too and are its its really interesting to put into perspect
Thats why the Evacuation Order. James, yeah, and just to see the size of the mandatory evacuation. Order now really does explain why were seeing such high numbers in terms of the total number of people evacuated which is approaching 200,000 and all those 10s of thousands of homes that are in jeopardy, right now the purple area is the mandatory evacuation zone and it stretches from the hills to the west of guys are with the fire initially started all the way out to the coast. And it also extends from geyserville all the way down to northern santa rosa i want zoom in and show you some of the fire areas because thats what each one of these dots represent and the color correlates with how long the fires been burning so the original fires broke out in the lighter cor here as you can see in that section of the hillside but the newer fires all these red dots these of the ones broke out over the weekend you can definitely see the fire has been moving aggressively in the southern and southwest
Rosa, lets zoom in here because beyond just the evacuation area. This map also shows us where the fire is burning an interest in lee shows us where the most recent burn activity has been happening thats what these colors indicate the more pale the color. The older the flames, so if you want to see where it originated you look up here you can see all those pale beige dots those ofhthe original fires that broke out the red dots are the more recent fires and you can see theyre spreading to the south and to the southwest which brings it pretty close to highway one oh one in those communities that run right alongside geyserville was evacuated.

Had a very hard time getting a handle on this fire. It erupted so quickly, roaring through this geyserville neighborhood. You can see this is one of the several houses destroyed by the fire. It is still smoldering. This far is so far zero percent contained. Wind speeds were 65 to 70 Miles Per Hour. The fire was really outpacing the fire fight. This is what firefighters faced overnight as a windwhipped fire blew through parts of geyserville, gobbling up at least half a dozen houses and forcing people and animals to flee to safety. It was everything we could do to try to stay ahead of it but 10,000 acres came fairly quickly. By daylight things had settled down a bit but plenty of damage had been done as propane tanks finished burning and the melted material on power lines dripped down. Tonight firefighters are attacking the fire from the sky as the flames have moved up into the rugged hills. Animal rescuers are also hard at work trying to get horses and other animals out of the fire zone
