And thats where we find kron 4 s Taylor Bisacky tonight who joins us with the latest taylor. Grant vicki right along kinley drive same places before and ill tell you a lot of people still pulled over on the side of the road watching this fire. I know its not really picking up on the camera but you can see the glow from the flames back here behind me. They also for a Reference Point im also near dry creek road which is one of the many closures in this area and healdsburg its actually very close to one o one as well now if you take a look at the video shot earlier thats what we are seeing and you can see right now the start but this is what the biggest concern is now they also bring up something that cal fire said earlier today, they said that their number one priority of all the l and you. Complex fires was the wall ridge fire thats now burning 20,000 acres in earlier today when some of my coworkers were out here they said that they werent seeing any of those air drops the good news. Is while i was out here today. Those resources eventually came we saw many more of those air drops to come. The walbridge fire as we know it is extending from guerneville all the way to west of healdsburg as i mentioned theres a lot of people have been just watching this progress throughout the day talked to a few people. He saw and described what they saw take a to smoke a lot of box mug which indicates to me structure and for watching the planes come in and do some fire retardant dumps. So actually this is a doesnt seem like its slowing down. I mean its nice to see the planes. I dont know if you noticed and buzzing around like honestly finally have getting it from the air which is great and i think theyre more hitting the very north end of it it looks like and this can emerge eastern part. They havent had that much it also plans thats something to stop and see what happens otherwise its up to the grades. Now main area of concern is also that mill creek further along it gets closer to the range which is where those flames are behind me. I spoke to a woman who lived out there and her husband were basically using all the hours left of daylight to get their home ready get the horses out there go tell the farm animals out she says that a lot of her neighbors have chosen to stay behind in a stick this out and that are you know what what progress is throughout the night but i will say that a lot of firefighters are back there to small skinny road. A lot of firefighters back there didnt see many people but i saw a lot of cars which means that most people probably were staying at home. So we want everyone to Pay Attention to those evacuations, especially once they can become mandatory because of course that means that there is an immediate threat to your life. Will continue to watch the progress of this fire and keep everyone updated. Grant vicki. A tale you can see the winds blowing has that picked up throughout the night and hows the air quality where you are. Grant its definitely picked up throughout the night when i first got here is a little bit more still but as you can see from time to time in the live shot my hair is blowing around so obviously thats a major concern for firefighters, ill tell you when i first got here. The he was smoke and the flames are a more so directly behind me its now moved to the southwest part of healdsburg at least the look on and that were seeing right here more to the southwest so thats obviously a big concern and as for the air quality of course, not good out here not good at all.
