Containment lines ariaound the fire. The wind event has everyone nervous. We have the potential for embers to blow. And spot outside. The minute i hear a siren i get scared. Im scared to death. I dont know is it here . Where are we going from there what at a helicopter that is dropping water its hard to see because of the smoke. There is a full scare air attack happening now. There are some trouble spots. The director of cal fire told me this morning they are nowhere near getting this under control. So theres a lot of concern tonight. And really again a race against the clock. Okay. Thank you. We want to give you a look at the fire burning. From pg e camera there. You can see the heavy smoke. Billowing into the air. Firefighters have a small window as she mentioned to get the fire under control. Before those winds pick up this weekend. Were expecting an update on the fight at 6 30. Well bring it live. Were tracking the wind. What firefighters are facing and how windy it will be. Extreme amount of heat in the fire. We saw in the video how it is a towering cloud. Theres a lot of heat rising up in this fire. Its making the winds turbulent on the fire line. The over all wind today we saw a pattern shift. Wind out of the west and south for a few hours. That did spot off some new growth on the northern side of the fire. We have 87 degrees humidity at 12 . And im seeing top gusts at least around the vicinity of fire. Of 10 to 20. In the fire it is extremely active. Air quality thats been a problem. The worst air quality. For the rest it was moderate. The north bay through tonight you might need to limit out door exposure. Where do we dpo from here . Tomorrow morning its not that bad. Winds ten to 20. Saturday night it picks up 10 to 30 Miles Per Hour gusts the main event is on sunday. Sunday is the day where things start to gust up. 25 to 50 Miles Per Hour. Possible. In some of the lower elevations. The mountains 60 plus Miles Per Hour. Ill have a very close look at this wind event hour by hour through it and talk about theha prepare for possible evacuations. So much toa geyser ville fat daughter are counting their blessings. The 60 Miles Per Hour winds also sent a 150 yearold tree barrelling into their home. The house is at the winery. The 15 yearold girl was in bed. Her dad says a voice inside told him to get out. Minutes later that tree came crashing downright on top of his daughters bedroom. I feel like the most blessed man in earth. We had not gone my daughter would be dead. So, the tree fell right on her bed. Can you imagine . As they evacuated the fire moved in. Firefighters managed to beat the flame. They saved that winery. Well have more on the story coming up. Emergency teams are paying special attention as the flames creep closer to the geysers. The power plant sits atop the Worlds Largest field which is just miles from the northern edge. That sprawling facility draws steam from 350 wells. From the air you can see several places where you see the puffs of steam from the soil. Thats fed by the heat under ground. That power plant produces enough energy yearly to power a million homes. The smoke is impacting the air quality. Near the fire and across the entire bay area. This is a time lapse video. You can see that smoke rolling in earlier this afternoon. Now we want to show you a map. How bad the air really is. Anything in green or yellow is better. But the origin orange and red is the red part. Where the air is poor. Live for us in San Francisco. Live on top of twin peeks with a look at the situation. Twin peaks is a great spot for tourist and check out air quality over the bay area. Were looking north towards the bridge. And where the kincade fire is happening. You can see its a little bit hazy. Not noerly as dramatic as an hour ago. Earlier today much of the mountain was hard to see. Health officials want residents being aware and careful this weekend. Smoke from the fire made its strongest presence when you look east towards downtown oakland. The smoky sky and unusually warm weather that brought this advice from San Francisco health officials. Were recommending people seek out either cooling centers or places that have filtered air. Libraries or movie theaters or malls. Doctors say in the bay area its usually high heat that brings on more serious medical issues than smoke in the air. Sometimes theres a competition with the air quality is bad. It gets hot and you have to make a choice. Always choose to take care of your temperature first. Because of the smoke people are choosing to buy respirator masks. Theyre sold out. But that comes with the warning too. Because some masks have such tight fits a person with Health Issues maybe working too hard just to breathe. Somebody maybe wearing a mask that fits tight but they have a heart or lung condition. And they can make themselves worse. Now were back lye looking east. You can tell towards downtown San Francisco. And also towards the east bay. And frankly the smoke has been dramatic in that region. Theres been a strong and thick layer along the east bay. And of course well be here for the next hour or so. To keep an eye on things. I get a feeling it will be changed by the time we report it again in the an hour. Okay. Well see you. Here we go again.
