together to help show us where the fires are, i have been in santa rosa all day yesterday. my lungs and breathing are still effected. i grabbed a mask my husband had in the garage and it was not enough. now we have more information on what kind of masks you will need. i have been hearing stories of people having everything burned. nobody said they are devastated. they just plan to rebuild. >> it's interesting, the way that fires are hitting so many communities. we are so used to these being in the rule communities, i covered large fires in arizona and they are rule but this is both urban and rural fire fighting. the flames are a challenge right now. it's just an unusual set of fires that firefighters have to try to knock down. >> lets pop up the news conference that is going to start from napa county, we are going to listen in live. >> this is our first briefing of the day, wednesday, october 11th. this is our third dweefg on the napa fire complex -- briefing on the napa fire complex, at this time, i will say that the eoc is continuing to coordinate support around the clock for operations of law enforcement, health officials, fire officials, information and other resources those kablght contacts are in the room with us today. what i would like to do at this point, we are going to do briefings on each of the fires, we will get the messages out to the residents and we will start with congressman thompson and senator dodd. >> i am mike thompson. both the state government and the federal government, senator dodd and our assembly woman have worked wonders to make sure that the state government spons as appropriate and in conjunction with the federal government, all of the declarations have been filed. the federal government has approved federal fire assistance and public grants and they are working on the individual grants as we speak. everyone at both the federal level and the state level rb incredibly have been incredibly responsive. the resources are coming and we continue to work with the locals to make sure we do everything possible. i want to also tell you that at the local level, everyone has been spectacular, life safety is the number one issue, the top priority and it's important that everybody listen to our first responders, if they tell you you cannot go into someplace, it's for your life and safety benefit and for those in the area, they are only working to make sure that you are safe. please listen to them and heed all of their warnings and take all of their directions. thank you. thank you. as the congressman said, this continues to be a life safety operation for us here in napa county. we will have the chief talk about the fire situation next. thank you. good morning, i am the deputy incident commander with cal fire and the napa county fire chief. yesterday was a very aggressive day for fire behavior with rapid expansion of fires, you will hear that based on our increased acreage. we had a lot of wind that pushed the fires in numerous directions on all of our fires, with that said, unfortunately today we are expected to go back into red flag warning for northern wind conditions, yesterday was a southern push that pushed the fires to the north. today we are expected to go back into a whipped pattern from the north with low humidity and significant winds out of the north which is definitely going to cause us challenges, we are expecting extreme fire behavior and goat of the fires, that's going to lead to challenges, the good news is we are getting additional resources from the state to assist us with the fires, that will give us the opportunity to not only advance with the fire but do increased perimeter control in the future. the resources are expected to come to the area to help us with the fires. thank you. good morning, i am chris child's, the commander of the napa chp area, i would like to express our sympathy and empathy for those who have been displaced. our hearts go out to you, i would like to ask for the public's continued patience as we have dozens of officers on road closures, i know it's a tough message to hear you cannot go back to your homes but teal well the officers, there are two types of road closures, there is a staff road closure, there is a black and white patrol officer, there is another type of closure, unstaffed. treat that like it's staffed. you ask the public to not go through any of the road closures to not hemper of efers of those going in. i would like to direct attention to the napa chp facebook page, there is a plethora of information for the public as well as timely pictures and images of what our crews are facing out there. i would like to let the public know that our air operations continue to be in the air overhead. today they rescued 50 people off mountain tops to insure that life is maintained. i am thrilled to let people know we saved family pets and cats and dogs, we are active in the mountains making sure that people are safe. if you are told to evacuate. please take your medication and any pets so we do not have to tie up critical resources to go back to get medication and pets. finally i would like to express my gratitude too cal fire and the city of napa and all of the other agencies working on this, it's been great to work with all of you, thank you. thank you. new information from yesterday's briefing is that we currently have four fires burning in napa county, the three we have previously reported on continue to be present, the atlas peak fire, the tubbs fire in calistoga, the partrik fire and now the nuns fire from sonoma, in sonoma, the nuns fire has burned into the napa areas, the primary focus in that area is in life safety. it remains unclear highway many people have been evacuated. we are in life safety mode. the causes for the fire still remain under investigation, at this time the supervisor will be speaking about conditions in district four and specifically on the atlas peak fire. thank you. good morning, i am from the fourth district. thank you for being here. before i talk about the mandatory evacuations i want to saw thank you to the residents of district four, i have been at the closures, i have seen the emotion, we all want the same thing, your safety and making sure that napa county is safe. we have a team of great people working with you to continue to emphasize your safety. when that is done we continue the conversation about the next steps, i just wanted to say thank you, we understand the difficulties we are all facing. atlas peak, 30,000-acres burned. no containment but that does not we are not fighting the fire, we are fighting the fire, atlas peak road, evacuations are mandatory. also soda canyon, hagen, hill lane, silverado country club. silverado trail. the canyon between silverado trail, turtal rock to the corners, gordon valley. heartman and monticello mobile home park, while i read these i think about the people being impacted by that, our hearts are with you, we are trying to get you back hope but now our number one priority is your safety. for those that have been evacuated, the evacuation centers are napa valley college, also the solano community college, there are advisory ee vak yaiks -- evacuations for north kelly road. we are talking about a fund that people will be able to access, we received numerous calls from the community to help with relief efforts, it's amazing how the community comes together. now supervisor dillon. >> thank you. good morning, my same is diane dillon, i represent district three. we had an unfortunate situation last night in that around 11:00 p.m. we were informed by cal fire that it would be necessary to evacuate part of the city of calistoga, so, an effort was put into place and a plan was put into place, between 3:00 and 6:00 this morning. a number of us walked block by block and knocked on doors and we estimate that homes are presenting 2,000 of the 5,000 residents of calistoga have been evacuated. many of those people had already left. we knocked on doors where nobody was home. many people were packed up and ready to go, this was a smooth operation, we did not meet resistance, people knew that they were in danger, it's based on how the chief described that the wind may be changing and coming from the north. this is a fire that start indeed the calistoga area, it moved into sonoma and now it flared up again, it was moving up the mountain last night. it remains to be seen if the rest of calistoga will have to be evacuated. it's on advisory evacuation. that's the situation in calistoga, with regards to what is mandatory evacuations, is easier to tell you where you can go in calistoga, there is no entry into the city, you can get in on 29 but not past pet -- petrified road. that's the northern boundary of where you can go. for highway 29, that highway runs through calistoga but stops at grant street. you can still get up to silverado trail gut you cannot get through our city limits. is a limited area that is still on advisory. we just really are looking to see what will happen today with the wind, there were some people who were not ambulatory that were bussed to napa. the calistoga fair grounds had to be closed and residents were advised to shermt at the napa valley college gym, they were exited out silverado trail and advised to cross over to highway 29, so that's the situation. we awaiting what the winds will do today. thank you. thank you. i am ryan gregory from the west side of napa. the other side of the valley from the atlas peak fire. unfortunately we have two fires working in that area, we reported yesterday about the partrik fire. this morning it has burned 9,000-acres but i am pleased to say we are at 2% containment on that fire, evacuations for that area have not changed but i will read them again, old sonoma road to henry, las amigas, level valley rode and stanley lane. the evacuation center is the gym. the new fire is the nun fire, it's been moving towards napa. last night it crossed over into the mountain and it's sitting there. it's at 7,000-acres, there is 2% containment on that fire, manned tru evacuations were issued last night from mount peter road and oakville grade and dry creek road. i heard a lot of concerns from the people in the city of napa. the mandatory evacuations are at landa vista. on the west side there are no mandatory evacuations but be aware of any advisories or evacuations to come. the winds are moving us around. stay tuned. thank you very much. next is mayor john dunbar. thank you. thank you for being here to get out the messages to our residents. power has been restored. it has been out since sunday evening, the last of our residents received power, cell service is limited. communication is challenging. there was an evacuation plan executed last night at the california veterans home. moving hundreds of residents can take time so that took place only with 80 residents with significant respiration issues. the rest of the resident remain at the home at this time. thank you. you am brad, the district one supervisor for napa county, i am going to talk about the evacuation centers. we were able to empty crosswalk church last night which is good because we are going to have a potential influx of calistoga residents coming down and we may have to use that again. we had about 200 people at napa valley college gym. also we have a number of people at solano community college parking lot. foir thousand at sasson valley road in fairfield. those are coming from the other sued of the hill -- 4,000 at sasson valley road in fairfield. those are coming from the ear side of the atlas fire. we have large animals, 439 horses we have housed in the napa valley for their safety. we also have a large number of house hold pets at the napa valley shelter. i think that at this point, the napa valley college is full with their animals there. so the 942 hartle court is the best option if you have to shelter an animal at this point, a smaller animal. the napa valley college gym is 2277 napa vallejo highway. we are asking most everyone, especially if you have gone and you are not in one of the shelters, if you are in one of the shelters, we know where you are, many people are going to other places and we get calls, people searching for lost folks. they are not lost, they are just staying with someone but we do not know where it is, high-tech is best, we would like everyone to put safe and well and to register that and make that part of your regime. make that part of what you are doing so that you can let people know you are okay. we cannot tell people, because of confidentiality and other things but you can tell people where you are and let people know what is going on. this is the best way to do this at this point. safe and well, is www.safeandwell.org. let people know where you are. people with register and say where they are. or others can register and say, where is joe, if swroa is on here, they will know. >> thank you. -- joe is on here, they will know. >> i am the mayor of the city of napa. we are working to inform residents as to the situation, three cheers for pg & e when the lights went on, there was a great sense of connectedness with the community. we are feeling like people are getting information, there is still limited opportunity for wi-fi. some parts of town has wi-fi out. there were concerns last night, we assigned five police officers to patrol the brown valley neighborhood. they asked people to go out and stop police cars and engage police officers in conversations, we are trying to be out there so people can see us and get information from the source. we have two dmeunt meetings today to do more of that. one is at 1:00, the second is at 6:00 fnlt the six cluck one is at city hall. -- the 61:00 is at city hall. we are going to talk about safety and things that the community is dealing with right now. also an update from the water department. the notices that wept out about needing to boil or treat water were for the area of the county that has been evacuated. there should be nobody in those areas, the rest of it, the whole city and the rest of the county is fine for drinking water. where the drinking water notices are, there shb nobody in those areas, our water treatment plants are up and running, the tanks are full. after the earthquake that was not happening so quickly so we are happy about that. we are prepared with water and water pressure for our needs. >> thank you. is with tremendous gratitude to our first responders of pge and that we are able to report that 7,000 people are out of power in napa county at this time. we thank pg & e for working with cal fire and our first responders to restore that sense of place for our residents who were in the dark. in the coming day, pg & e is planning to deploy 200 crews here. that's 800 crew members from across the service area to support the response. we very much appreciate their efforts in this regard. in terms of how you get information, i know that we understand that this is the frustrating part. not knowing what is current. but we have the platforms out there. those are the county websites. the county websites, countyofnapa dors.org has the most current information. if you are not able -- countyof 100 deadliest days of summer napa.org napa.org -- countyof napa.org has the most current information. also follow the county's facebook and twitter feeds. it's important to sign up for the service where you text your zip code to 888777. the zip codes that are active are the calistoga code and the napa and the atlas peak fire zip codes. we will continue to coordinate with our media partners, we ask our county employees to check this to see if they are needed to come on in. on behalf of my colleagues, the napa county board of supervisors, i want to say to the residence, we understand that being displaced from your home is frustrating. we are not ready to tell you when to go back to your homes, is not safe. yesterday in my tour of the district there were downed power lines and hot spots. we need to make sure that we allow public safety to do their jobs first, we have no counts on people being evacuated. we are doing our best to get you the most up to date information. we will be appearing on our local radio station throughout the day and having advisories on99.3 kvyn. please listen in. communication is spotty right now, listen in please, we know that at & t and verizon are working on that. cell coverage is being restored. we are doing our best to eep you up to date. be safe, napa. we are here to support you and to get the messages out to you, this will conclude our press conference for the day, if you have questions, we will have staff that is posted around the room. we have department heads and our elected officials will be in the room as well. you can ask specific questions to them. we will have a press conference tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. thank you. that's the newest information live from napa county officials, lawmakers, public officials alike talking about an aggressive day, the combination of low humidity, significant winds, they are preparing for what is to come later today. >> the winds are going to change, they are going to move and that means that the direction of the fire could change. >> i will bring in steve for this. they are talking about calistoga, the winds are going north to south. >> yes, sunday and monday it went north east to southwest or east to west in santa rosa. >> if we had that again it would be burning back to where they have already burned or areas that escaped it. but the key is, is cooler, it's not as windy, we had 60 miles per hour gusts sunday into monday. it was almost 90 degrees, that's not the case here. the humidity was in the teens on sunday night into monday. 10% to 14%, we have updates that have come in on the fires, the redwood fire and the tubbs fire and atlas, cal fire updates every eight hours, look for the information, it's out there. the smoke which was so bad yesterday for san francisco and oakland has now moved east because the wind direction has changed. it's going west to east out towards brent wook, antioch and sacramento, folsom has bad air because the wind direction has changed. davis has a north wind. fairfield is west/southwest. the wind is west at pat leum and north at know novato and west at fairfield. -- petaluma and north at novato and west at fairfield. you want it to go more northerly. for some there is an off shore breeze. is ushering in cold temperatures, 30s and 40s, these are down 20 degrees compared to late sunday into monday. wind advisories kick in at 5:00 for the the north bay hills and 11:00 for east bay hills, no wind is good but it's not strong as what we saw, it favors areas in the north west and it's going to send the fire in different directions than it has been. >> cal fire said they are preparing to fight the fires perhaps through the end of the month. do you see significant rain coming. >> around the 19th or the 20th. not a lot but it's a possibility but that's eight days out. a lot could change, we have one more system coming in friday, this takes a similar path that the one sunday took. if that is the case, it would give us a north east wind. that's a concern i think going forward before we can look for any rain but there is hints of rain on the 19th. >> thank you. >> we wish the news was different. wild fires burning beyond the immediate bay area, mendocino and lake county has a fire, three people have died in mendocino county. the fires continue to burn out of control there. >> this is not going to be a 48 to 72 hour event, we are anticipating the shelters will be open for days to come. >> the county shelters can handle 3,000 people. bring in food, water and other supplies, officials from fema are also helping with the relief effort. >> 150 homes have been destroyed in lake county and there are emergency shelters open. 5,000 people have been ordered to evacuate middle town but orders have been lifted for parts of clear lake. >> we are expecting a press briefing from sonoma county officials. when that happens, we will bring it to you. less talk about the men and women staging this fire fight. the fires are hitting close to home for many firefighters. one firefighter lost his home in coffey park, nothing there was spared from the flames. this man said he is been helping to ee vak people from the same fire that took his home. >> is one thing to be on -- evacuate people from the same fire that took his home. >> it's one thing to be on the helping side not on the receiving side. i am not used to having people want to help me. >> he was told that his wife and daughter are safe. they are staying with relatives while he saves other homes from the fires. a man chose where to fight the fires near his home. peter lang spent his energy hosing down the living spaces for 1,000 animals at safari west. he said he had 1,000 souls to save, he was referring to the animals at safari west. he said small patches of ground burned but he did not lose a single animal but his house was destroyed. >> 1,000 souls, that's the priority. there were some guests there and they got out of there then it was back to saving the animals. almost 200 people in sonoma county are listed as missing. people are trying to recontact. since monday 60 people have been located. among the missing is mike of santa rosa, his friend told us last night by phone that mike's home was destroyed in the fire and nobody has hurd from him since. lets listen into the briefing from sonoma county. we have briefings today at 1:00 and 6:00 p.m. the win 1:00 is at the fair grounds. we are working hard to keep the community informed with what is going on. we have some updates for you. in essence, the wind is going to pickup this afternoon, there is a lot of concern about where the fire will go, we were doing evacuations all day yesterday and all through the night. we are not swisk operations to anything but life saving right now. we have gotten a lot of questions from people in advisory areas. my advice to those of you is go. traffic is bad, it would be better to have i out of the area, the less people we have to evacuate, the better. this is still a serious event. life safety is what matters. that's where we are heading. we have our missing persons count up to 670. of that we found 110 located safely. the 110 has not changed from yesterday because our team that is working missing persons works until the night, goes home and goes to bed. we expect the number to go up again. we have done more evacuations through the night. 73 cell towers are down, communicating is rough. so we are hoping that we find most people today through the phone calls. i want to encourage everyone to keep up with the news updates. sonoma county sheriffs office facebook, we are putting everything out on our facebook page. also sonoma county's facebook is pushing everything out. they are adding some of the stuff that we do not have like shelters. i will take your questions. >> if people want to stay back, do you let them. >> the community support has been wonderful. someone always waps to stay but we have very few reports of problems, the community is working well with us, i cannot emphasize, if you look how fast the fire burned, people underestimate how powerful of fire is. if you are in an advisory, go, you do not need to be here. >> how many people were hurt? >> i do not know, i know that there were injuries but i do not have the number. i do not have fire line information, at 1:00 p.m., cal fire will have that for us, i will tell you that we are concerned about the fire lines because of the wind. >> some of the victims are starting to come out. >> we have 11 confirmed dead right now. we are working on identifying them. our number one priority is identification and family members, after that is concerned i will release it publicly but we are trying to get to family first. >> any reason that the cell phones do not work? >> cell phone service has been spotty. people do not have their chargers. it's our new world, you need your charger or else you cannot communicate. we have some evidence of that. we sent people home to sleep but today the location team will be back to work. please, all of the relatives, (707)565-3856, when you find your relative, call the number so we can take them off the list. >> are there any common denominators for the fatalities, like older people who cannot get out. >> i know that there are all types of victims, i diso -- do not know the circumstances. the devastation is enormous, we found 11 people but we cannot get into most of the area, the 11 people we found have been found for other reasons, noars we are not doing searches, we are getting called places and finding people when we start to do searches i expect to find people. >> do you know what people were doing when they were found. >> we have not sent in teams yet. for what ever reason deputies are sent in and they find victims. >> what was the notification process for the fire. >> i do not know what informations were sent out. i know that phones were used. the world has changed. people have to sign up for alerts. when we have land lines, we can call the whole block. now without land lines, if you do not sign up your cell phone you do not get an alert. the message is sign up for alerts if you live in this county. that's how we know where you are. in the old day, we called the land lines, this fire was unbelievably fast. when you look at what i know from the deputies, they had to run from everything, the time line is incredible how fast it came over the hill. >> there are some counties that said they have had problems with the alerts for a while. can you explain that in this county. >> we have not had any problem like that but communication has been difl, i just heard that facebook is down. that's the nature of technology and the county. 73 cell towers are down. communications are difficult. it's spotty, it takes 30 seconds to dial a call but i am impressed that i can communicate at all. >> is there a back up plan? >> we are talking to the news media. radio, all of you are getting out the message, listen to the radio, pay attention to the cell phones, get on the internet, use everything so you do not miss the information. >> will you get cell service up. >> the companies are working hard to get that together. really impressed with pg & e and the cell companies. the infrastructure and the amount of agencies working on things like that is just incredible. they are bringing in the national guard satellite phone system, people can call their loved ones from a truck with phones we hand them. a lot of communicate cautions are coming in to the county. >> are you turning away people who come back to their neighborhoods. >> yes, if you are in an ee vook yawtion zone, you cannot come home. we are not letting anybody in the neighborhoods that have been evacuated or burned. we had very few problems with looters. we made two arrests for warrants but we suspect that they were looting. so far that has not been a big problem which is great. we have 100 deputies working now. there are usually 30. so there is a lot of police presence out there. >> can you go back to the early warning system, why can't a system like an amber alert warning come in. >> that's a great question, i do the know the answer but i can tell you that the land line switch to cell phones have changed the game. >> despite that, are you satisfied with the system or do you think it could have been better. >> so far communication has been extent. i have gotten good reports with cells. the fire was in the middle of the night. i do not know how effective the warnings were but it's going to take a long time to understand that. >> when do you think that people will be able to go back to the burned out neighborhoods where the fire is gone. >> it's interesting. the burned out area, no fuel, everything is fine, people are like, why can i not go in. i was up near where a fire was and all of a sudden, i watched the hill go up in smoke and they were doing emergency evacuations. people are like, my house is fine but these areas are not opening, i do not imagine them opening this week, today's conditions are what we are waiting for. >> what are the neighborhoods that you are most concerned about? >> we are evacuated all of them. if you are under an evacuation order, those are the neighborhoods that they are worried about. >> when you find someone on the missing persons process, how do you notify the families. >> we connect them. that's the easy part of the game. especially if people call us. >> are you actively searching for people. >> we have a 30 person team searching for people. is a lot of hot zones, they are searching by data. they are hunting down he friends and family and who they were with to find out where they are. >> when will you be able to go into the rubble. >> i do not know. we had ideas of trying to get people into their houses yesterday to get medicine in but i was up there when i watched the fire come back and we pushed everyone back. >> is there a cripple investigation underway as to how the fires started. >> that's cal fire's thing, 1:00 is the press conference, iment not away -- i am not aware of how the fire started i think that they are going to look at the facts and see where it goes. >> do you recall the neighborhoods that are evacuated. >> there is a complicated emergency operation in place, everything is going through the emergency operation centers in the counties, coordinating resources is the biggest part of the battle. ultimately all of those calls end up in our dispatch center and we send people out spvment when it comes to look being for fai tals is that something that the sheriff or fire will handle. >> it's a team effort. cal fire has teams that do searches we bring in people. alameda is here to help with emergency operations, they have dogs and they can get dogs, resources from my perspective is not a problem. things are coming in great. we have resources and tons of people. the cooperation from local agencies, i mean san francisco, alameda, san mateo. contra costa. we have people from pittsburg coming to bring food and drinks. >> in terms of identifying the victims, what is the delay, were they burned severely. >> i cannot speak to each one but right now we are putting our resources to saving lives. >> is that a medical examiner task. >> we are the coroner. we run the corps -- coroner's office, there is a lot of work that goes into identification. >> that is fine, but what challenges to do you face in identifying the victims. >> it could be that they were burned but each case is different. some are difficult others not so much. >> what direction do you pant people to evacuate? >> south is the best way out right now. do not go to napa. go south through marin and go out that way. >> are there still places to go in the shelters. >> yes. but check before you head over. ee vak yeahs centers are fine right now. that's great but if you can leave the county, it's better. >> are you -- evacuation centers are fine right now. that's great but if you can leave the county, it's better. >> are you looking into more resource. >> we have plenty of resources. the res sources from around the state have been excellent. we have everything that we need to do this part. fire is working hard and they brought in tons of resources. i do not know where they stand in terms of more. they have to speak to that at 1:00. >> are i doing a curfew. >> is not a night curfew, we asking people to stay out 24 hours aday, when it gets lifted, you are going to see it go out on our alerts, we are going to say, we are going to open to residents and we will let you in one at a time. we are going to open areas slowly. i cannot imagine that happening this week though. >> i am speaking about the sheriffs office jurisdiction which is outside of the city limits of santa rosa, i assume that they will run a similar process but i can tell you we are just trying to get people out right now. >> can you give an example of how you evacuate people? >> the stories i have heard coming out, i cannot remember them awvment we had a deputy at mark west lodge, he had 35 people. the fire crossed the road. he could not get out. he got people and then people were coming down. everyone then sat there and watched the fire burning around them and they waited and got down the hill after the fire moved. if i looked at our video on our facebook page. we have footage of what is it -- it looked like. >> were your guys out there. >> we are all-out there together. on the first night of the fire, i walked into the sheriffs office, there were people in cars that the deputies brought out. >> we are going to wrap up the press briefing, the next conference is at 1:00. >> thank you for putting out the information, we appreciate it. >> coming from the sonoma county sheriff, he said at this point it's a life saving exercise, he is warning people who have been evacuated, do not come back to see what is left. >> you will not be able to get in this week, he said, that's hard for people who have been burned out of their homes. >> what about the numbers of people reported missing. >> like 500. 110 people have been located. some of the people missing cannot get in touch with people to let them know that they are safe. >> lets talk about air quality and how people across the bay area are being impacted. >> the north bay fire information is what we are looking at now. sunday night, that fire storm that blew from calistoga to santa rosa, how do you explain that? >> it's the extreme east winds, the offhis or her winds, it's like water flowing over a dam. the air crests up one side of the range and plunges down the other. normally the fire wants to go up hill. when we get the extreme east wind, we call them the diablo winds, we see the impact. >> i was trying to explain that to my son. it was like a ball of fire flowing down the hills, when
