I got good news, and they doubled their containment overnight and they are say the fire is 20 contained. Up from 10 . They are keeping the number of acres that have burned the same at 1,500. They are calling the sawmill fire with 36 home evacuated. We asked if they knew when the people could go home. I have not heard when we can let them back in. It is a priority. In are no evacuees at the evacuation center. I assume everybody has found another place to go. Right now, the road is busy. We have a lot of fire traffic. We will know month today. No one is hurt i
That traffic is just terrible in the north bay right now. Julie as you mentioned if you need to head in that area in the north bay it is probably best to stay out of the area or find an alternative moment. Is there a place for residence to go if they could not go to that area . Can they get information on the fire . You know typically theres a number set up to call to get information at this point. But im not sure what that number is, but that we do know that people are being asked to avoid that area right now. All right, Cristina Rendon in the newsroom. Thank you.

Tonight after eight hours, those lanes are still shut down.

Lets get right to it, it is rather breezy, blustery even on for the day, i we on the southern edge of his low dropping from Northern California which will produce some showers, william who is a friend of the show here, do we have this . There he is, speaking of wind and San Francisco, coincidentally i just saw the howling, wind and howling, trying to make a joke.

Cooled down overnight, but this is burning in a very rural area spotted with homes near some rugged mountainious terrain, and people who live here say they are always on guard. Its creepy. When you see smoke, or you smell it be, you start packing up the photographs, the important papers. Just in case. The dogs. Oh, yeah. Reporter well, the saw mill fire is in Sonoma County, just on the other side of the mountain from the valley fire that destroyed so much of middle town in lake county last year.
