It is only winds. Openly there is no fire. The wind will carry fires. Reporter up highway 120, the damage was already done at oak ridge. Structures were burned, but the cattle were still alive. At a winery, the flames came just feet away from torching the whole facility. It was all stopped by cal fire from jumping ida clayton road. That was sometime earlier today.

I want to take you back to chopper5 to get live pictures of what is going on. This is right over the fire zone as julia was saying earlier. There are lots of active spots beginning to kick up as the wind picks up. A lot of what we are seeing is down in ravines. These are sheltered areas that are pretty steep in nature. What happens is the fire just and of goes along inside there and smolders until the wind picks up and then it runs up the ravines almost like eventually affect. They will go up the canyon and that is what they were afraid of. These things get going and they start moving and pretty soon, a small little spot fire turns into a big mess. Why you dont see people down there is because they have had a week now, the better part of a week to put in some pretty serious dozer line all around what youre looking at right now. It may rnt t big deal. They have dozer line up on top and down below any sort of circling manner that keeps that fire encased in those ravines. That is what is going on right now. We are watching a live picture here of the kincaid fire. Again, this fire has spread to about 75,000 acres or 118 square miles. Weve been watching this firefight.

A question many have now is, is my food safety . I have not had power for 24 or 48 or 72 hours or even longer. We went to the experts for advice. Reporter so, the power is back on and now you are cleaning out your refrigerator. If you have to ask yourself, is this still good . Then you already know what you have to do.

You can see the smoke out here. Weve been watching the smoke all day. Earlier today, drifting almost toward the east and as the day has turned to evening, you can see it heading south and towards the southwest.

We need to pull out the relief for perspective to understand why. Those mountains get it much worse hurricane departed color, the stronger the winds.
