Fire says they have to try and find a way to get into that fire because its up on that hillside. The closest intersection i can give you is san philippe road, and not silver creek, but Silver Creek Valley road. We do know that firefighters are trying to access that fire right now and we do know the brush is very dry right now especially after the spike in heat that we have seen. Today is supposed to be a little cooler but hopefully the wind will cooperate. Right now, very calm and its absolutely still out here. Lets send it over to vianey as we jump in our truck and try to get closer to the fire. Kris, you are right, we had triple digit heat this weekend. There are three factors, hot temperatures, low humidity and wind factor. Right now in evergreen, were going to go into the 80s quickly. Its expected to be a hot day, even though we are seeing cooler.

Up where the fire is burning on the ridge, close to the ridge, not a lot of homes so no structures are threatened. We know its bigger than 20 acres, and we dont know what the containment number at this point because the firefight is still ongoing and firefighters have told us theres a potential to hit about 100 acres.

With modifications. And guidelines for restaurants to resume having customers dine in. He has a reminder. None of this means anything if customers dont feel safe. One place where theres no rush it open. Theres this ominous warning from doctors. We would see a brisk return of hospitalizations and a brisk return of death. Those strong and alarming words of warning proof the governors guidelines will do little to weaken the strict stay at home orders. We have the details. Were not there yet.

One can choose region like the bay dwrair and six counties ca ....
