the that that is causing is we're having to pull firefighters and resources off the line to go in and rescue them, and in some cases just remove a lot of the downed timber from the fires from the road, so they can get out. and so the more we have to do that, the less capabilities that we have in suppressing the fires that's going on. so we really would like for people that, when it's time to

more on those rescue missions is reporting liz gonzales, who is at the army national guard helicopter maintenance base in fresno, and some really heroic work takes place. >> reporter: absolutely heroic work. it's been a rollercoaster. those crews attempted to rescue the folks for the last two days, but finally were able to pull it off, starting about 3:00 this morning, and the last group that came in was around 3:00 in the afternoon. we're talking about hikers and pack packers that had been out in the wilderness some had been in the area lakes, spending labor day holiday. what started as rather peaceful trip turned into something else quite dramatic as a result of this creek fire that continues to burn out of control. word from people on the scene there, that they were able to see the stars, because the big problem had been the smoke and the weather. once they got word, the crews got word that the people on the floor could see the stars, and they thought, okay, let's do it and get them out of there. so a total of seven helicopters were helping on this operation over the course of the day. from 3:00 in the morning to 3:00 in the afternoon. these were some families out there, but there were also some first responders out there that needed the evacuate those areas as well. we saw at least one fresno county sheriff's deputy that was trapped. and others needed help getting out as well. like i mentioned, it's been a rollercoaster of emotions from families waiting word from their loved ones, who were out here at 5:00 yesterday afternoon, hoping they could get them, and instead having to meet up with them at 7:00 in the morning. a lot later than they there, th emotions were there, and they're all back together now. it's been quite takes about 20 minutes to get one of those think they might be done, until possibly nightfall, when they've might go out there once again. >> yeah, those crews don't hesitate at all. liz, have you had a chance to talk to any of those rescued, or the pilots pulling off this pretty amazing work in. >> reporter: i talked to one of the pilots last night, because we were actually out here until about midnight once we got word they had called off the operations overnight. they are telling us these conditions are really dangerous. typically they have better luck with these operations before the sun rises, because of the c they are working with, blackhawk helicopters, and they said they have weighter way to find them in the dark than name, but the weather lifted, and they went to pull people to safety. we heard of a satellite phone, one phone being shared by 50 people out at at a one of those lakes. >> thank you, liz. >> joining us to talk more about these remarkable rescues is chief water officer 2, michael haines. describe for everywhere the conditions you faced on these flights and talk about the challenges that made it so difficult to get to those people. >> yeah, thanks for having me. basically the conditions are -- it's a lot of heavy smoke out there. we've been trying over the last few days to get to these people, to get them extracted, but, you know, the a certain po see the bottom of the we came i early and just started making runs to the people at edison lake, and down near the john mear wilderness area. the smoke was pretty heavy in the middle, but at the place we were extracting the people, it cleared up enough for us to be able to get in and get them out. >> yeah, i can only imagine how happy and relieved those folks were who were wait big the lake there, to see the helicopters arrive. once you get to these folks, what is the process to figure out if anyone has any injuries of any kind, and then the process to figure out who you're going to take first. you can't take everyone at all once, right? >> absolutely. so we are a medical platform, so we have a med effect on board. obviously our priority is anyone who is injured, most severe first. in lieu of injuries, we're going to take the women and children, and then anybody else after that. but the priority is getting the injured out, and then women women and children, and on from there. >> must be tough to have to leave some people behind. what do you say to those folks when you leave? >> we tell them we'll be right back. honestly that's the most we can do. we take as many as we can, you know, without, you know, endangering the people we have on board by exceeding the limits of the aircraft, and we tell them we'll be right back, we have another ship on the way, and we just keep making ring routes. and they are all very understanding, very patient. it wasn't chaotic when we were selecting who to take. everybody was pretty supportive in getting who to get on first out. >>zone and on board those helicopters. what did you hear from folks and how does that feel for you and your team to be able to help people like this? >> didn't get to hear much from them. they were ushered off to their waiting family members. they were excited when they got on the ground obviously, and so were the families, so it felt good for us to be able to get them to their families and loved ones. >> all right. well, you guys clearly helped a lot of people here. i know a lot of people still in need of being rescued as well. so the work is ongoing. appreciate you taking some time. i know you're busy. chief warrant officer michael

for the higher terrain, to mendocino county. here is a satellite, actually the smoke forecast model is trying to pick up on some of the smoke. the bright white indicates the higher concentrations. as we put this into motion, it doesn't clear us out. the smoke could possibly be a factor once again. a lot of it just depends on the fire behavior tonight into tomorrow morning, so nothing to really clear this out in your wednesday. the wind reports right now, it is still breezy out towards mount st. he lena. winds around mount diablo gusting to 20 miles an hour, but as i mentioned, the winds

about the delay is angela nicholson, assistant county administrator and director of marin's emergency operations center. you had anticipated entering the next phase of reopening. so what happened? >> we did anticipate the opening. on friday, we confirmed with the state would would be in the red tier and late yesterday we got a call from the state at rear evaluating the data, we would remain in the purple tier, which was a real challenge for our business community. i said we really tried to stay very coordinated with them during this pandemic, and we've been slow and meth oddickicle about our opening, so it was a big disappointment for the businesses today. >> so what sort of reasoning did the state give for changing whether you were allowed to reopen or not? >> essentially it was that that reevaluated the data again. i think there were a number of cases that some outbreak cases that happened last week that hadn't been included in the data on friday, and when they reevaluated on sunday, they determined that we needed to remain in the purple. we do remain in conversations with the state, and hopefully something may change later this week, but for now, we are firmly in the purple tier. >> we know that the state has this new method now for determining a county's position for reopening. do you think this new method is fair? >> you know, i think what everyone wants is that we have a clear and -- a clear process for the data. i think as long as the state and the counties have similar data analysis tools, i think it actually makes it really easy for us and for our businesses. in this case, it wasn't particularly clear, but i hope moving forward that it's more clear, and that businesses have a good examination of when they can open, of what it will take to stay open. i've been really proud of the businesses and the community in marin. we've been slow. we've been methodical. people have been following the rules. so i hope moving forward that we will, you know, get into the red tier sooner rather than later, and open some of those businesses back up. >> yeah. i'm soar that all of those businesses are hoping the same thing. angela, final question, does the county plan to appeal to the state, and if so, when do you expect to have a final decision on this matter? >> we have entered into the aadjudication process with the state around the data, and they haven't given us a deadline for when we will hear on whether or not we're moving tiers or not, so at this g game. all right, angela. really appreciate it. obviously, though, a big disappointment
