They say that they have stopped the forward progress of the fire but of course its not contain. And more breaking news to have military military helicopters attempting to rescue more than 60 people right now who are trapped in the creek fire in Fresno County. This will be their 3rd attempt to get to these hikers the rescues had to be called off last night because of heavy smoke. Thats pretty scary. We actually have a picture. The hikers are smiling theyre okay right now. They are sheltering at the vermilion valley camping resort thats at lake at us and to help volunteers out there helping the hikers are feeding them making sure that they stay hydrated as they wait to be rescued. Yeah and heres a map showing where the hikers are in relation. To the creek fire. The outline in red that you see on the left side of your screen is the perimeter of the fire as it stands right now and off to the east. You can see out there near lake edison that is where the campers are hunkered down right now waiting for a rescue attempt to gain their deep in the Sierra Nevada national forest.

National guard helicopters were brought in to airlift those folks to and joining us right now on the phone with the very latest. On the fire burning in Fresno County is alex with the Sierra National forest. Alex thank you so much for joining us this morning first off. Youre welcome glad to be here absolutely and i was so what is the latest, we know theres those hikers that are waiting to be rescued and i suspect there are there others as well that youre still searching for. There are we actually have i want to say 3 locations within the the one up in the top that you spoke of a few minutes ago. Is in the vermillion valley area by late get us in and florence like those hikers are safe. They do have as you stated volunteers, i believe theres also a member of the Sheriffs Office there with them so that they have communication. Back down here in the valley area and theres 2 other locations the same saying that people are very very safe. They are working on plans to bring these people but as you stated the overnight and into the evening has been to the point that the pilots cant get up but they are in communication along with that picture you saw is seemingly in good spirits and and again we just want to emphasize that they are very safe i do have some Acreage Update for you that we got this morning the acreage is now at 143,000 acres. One almost 144,001 43 9 to 9 and were still at 0. Containment we do have a 1060 working this fire we have more resources on their way. And today at 7 oclock now theres a Incident Management Team thats come on board and that teams going to be operating in our what refer to the north zone and the bash league Ranger District area. Thats the area that had the rescue the other day with e. California Army National a helicopter in the Amendment School area in and they were successful in rescuing 207 people. And we were just looking at some of the video that i believe you yourself shot showing us the fire lines and what they looked like overnight. Describe to everybody what that was like this fire is exploding in give us a sense of what it was like when you are out there. I would actually love to take credit for shooting that video but that was actually shot by one of the Sierra NationalFire Management officers who is out there this morning. Im monitoring it and watching but i have been near fire line and the fires burning very intense. You know we say that its unprecedented people always ask what happened you say that it just seems like the dynamic these days. The conditions on this forest. Its stream lee writes for thats stations very receptive to this type of activity we are the epicenter of the beetle kill thats taking place in the tree mortality here in california. With over more than 33 Million Trees that are succumb to drought and the you know the bark beetle done so with that the location of the trees. High temperatures and low humidities that weve had recently have really played in the that the speed of this up when sepp canyon winds during the day down canning runs at night the fire behavior at night almost behaves like it does during the day so. It is it is a difficult fire to get a handle on they are doing the best they can. There is an area our agency the 4 service along with cal fires been working to do whats referred to vegetation reduction to create a buffer zone so to speak for the areas around some of the communities that are up here and the fire is getting very close to that and there is a cautious optimism that that may hold the fire and that could be the beginning of our anchor point to a bigger success, but having these 2 teams working this fire. We have just 18 with cal fire. And then we have a federal team on the north zone between the 2 and their resources. We couldnt be in better and send were were really going to work hard to try to get this thing taken care of. You know we also have some video in the wake of some of these fires are burning in the creek fire some communities that have been destroyed homes as well and were seeing some of that video come out now can you talk a little bit more about some of the damage that youve witnessed in and again reiterate what numbers you know so far on that front. Im certainly i dont have a lot of do know that as youve seen in the picture now houses and homes. I would venture to guess that thats probably the community of big creek that were seeing. The number that weve been given so our offices 65 structures has either damaged or destroyed. And that could be anywhere from a residence to an outbuilding are smaller structure. The number one of the reasons we dont have more numbers and information regarding this is because of the intensity of fire in areas where its still burning. The Damage Assessment teams that are here and waiting to get in there to to to look at this scene over. They cant get there right now one because the fire still burning in a manner detriment to their safety. Also trees have fallen across and i mean a fire does an Amazing Things in the landscape and its burning but the trees down so theyll have to clear some of that area out clear the roads so that these teams can get in. And of course make sure that that their safety is a paramount. I mean first and foremost they have to be safe before they can go and to do the work they need to do. It typically can be done within the first couple of days are fired. But its probably going to be a little bit longer before they can really get in there safely to look over the damage and then our reports will much better coming in. And then lastly i know you say those campers that youre looking to rescuers say for the time being but with the rate that this fire is growing with the winds that are expected to pick up is there a time factor that you guys are our push against is there urgency to get these folks out before too much time passes. Of course there is and that the the Fresno County sheriffs would be coordinating that effort to get them out. While we continue our to fight the fire. As far as the direction of the fire its its burning in a sort of a lot burning on all but a lot of the activity where the increases are taking place are on the east flanks earning down shaver lake a little. On what we were tears the far lane the picture you see there was taken in an area called mountain rests near mount rest until house road. Fires also burning in whats referred to as jose base in that area doesnt have a recent history of fire. So that is burning burning very well at it. Not necessarily to our liking of course and then along and bass lake its also burning to those burning across Whiskey Ridge i think its come down off of Whiskey Ridge which prompted a few evacuations on that side of the forest as but people where were getting people out safe and the ones that are still there or are being taken care of and we hope to get them out homes very good alex, thank you so much for sharing some of your time with us this morning out of your busy well let you get back to it but we appreciate you giving us.
