Whats the latest taylor. The key here in Scotts Valley were seeing a lot of Emergency Personnel a lot of First Responders coming and going but some of that action starts about 11 miles west of here. I travel towards that area today and eventually landed in bonny doon and this is what youll see a shot some video from earlier and making my way over that way youll see a lot of dark plumes of smoke coming from the mountains and as i headed towards that direction. I eventually had felt an empire road where flames are still active. Theres many hot spots on both sides of the road so it makes it a little unnerving driving through that area you also would see a lot of fallen trees thankfully. I did see plenty of firefighters nearby the watching over that area now through the flames and smoke erode youll eventually hit empire road in bonny doon unfortunately that area is just a full of destruction many homes burned to the ground only chimneys some melted appliances Still Standing pretty eerie eerie feeling out there eventually ran into some locals who are staying behind to help firefighters.

Its a local everybody is local knows where the airport people are donating which is really helpful. Were getting food water gas diesel. Firefighting equipment which has been really and just getting prepared. Now casey tells me he also has his own firefighting equipment and he used that earlier this week to defend his own home of granger lane also the property at one of his Friends Properties that theyre staying at they did the same there and well he tells me that theyre not allowed to help other properties, he sometimes goes ahead and has done that so far but he says that theyve become somewhat of a home base for these firefighters. One plane, a truck came through where the fire tenders came through and got some water from the pull over and that property so theyve become a really big help for the local First Responders in this area for now live in Scotts Valley taylor sackey kron 4 news.

Kron fours also the money live in the newsroom now to and a guide us through each map area l a. Theyre granted this is a dynamic situation, especially with evacuation. So i do want to turn our viewers attention to eat region to show more clearly to go over the latest on what is open and what is still closed and were going to start with alan you complex fires in the north bay first so in Sonoma County people who live in the green area can now go home so evacuation orders. That means have been completely lifted for these areas so thats mostly in the coastal areas leading up all the way into what looks to be. Lets see fox mountain and all the way down to the Russian River so below the Russian River in the area of guerneville and for us fill those people can go home but above it is still in the red all the way into the west side of king ridge road down to where the road hits custody robot east of king ridge road all of austin creek state park fox mount the armstrong redwoods thats all in the middle here in the red, including Mount Jackson and again north current bill along with hacienda so basically again just following the Russian River all the way. Inland and up and around as you can see so dry creek road on the west of that site is still under mandatory evacuations heading all the way up until where it reaches. You take a look as you zoom in a little bit closer. Dutcher creek road so again that intersection right there is where the evacuation warning begin cents right above. Lake sonoma, so everything below that thats in the red is still a mandatory evacuation and now moving on into the lnu complex fires i want to go over and napa counties specifically so napa county thats where the lnu complex fire is still a burning right now so the red is where the fire zone is in the blue is a mandatory evacuation so all of lake area so you can see up to the knoxville wildlife area to the north napa county line where it borders with yellow county and that includes big basin and south of butts canyon where and then the napa county line needs lake county see just follow that order passing right underneath, laying tree farms, golf club, including including po valley and up to highway 29 where it meets lincoln avenue just northwest of calistoga city limits and the mandatory evacuation line kind of cuts east to include north and east of silverado trail including Glass Mountain and how a mountain chiles mountain. So you can get a sense of really this rugged terrain that firefighters are now being challenge with so again that is in the napa county area. Moving on with the lnu complex fire. Still nearly farias said this is now Solano County that i want to go over so all the red these see on your screen similar story this is a mandatory evacuation warning so thats above lake curry into fairfield along both sides of highway 80 right above the paradise valley, golf course and then it curves a upwards to the west of lagoon valley, Regional Park and then west of i 80 right here and then a Pleasant Valley road at gates canyon road and it also includes a stretch of Gibson Canyon a little bit further up. And between quail bridge lane and candler road.

So hopefully firefighters really gain ground as far as the wildfire battle goes lets take a look and air quality out there right now we do have a spare the air alert that has been extended from now through friday. But one thing that we are noticing along the coast, they said that deepening marine layer and that cool sea breeze, its pushing all of that smoke and ash away from the bay area where even most of the east bay and south bay noticing also an improvement in air quality even though youre noticing about moderate amounts of poor air particles with the unhealthiest and porous levels no surprise for inland areas in the east bay and that is going to be the same pattern that were tracking for your midweek forecast as well unhealthy amounts of air particles for most of the bay area but the porous for those of you in the east bay specifically our inland valleys but much needed much welcome relief for our firefighters are heroes out there on the front lines battling a raging wildfires but getting a little bit of a break from Mother Nature yet again tonight.

But ive had like a previous experience with the past couple of fires that there has been. So i was in like that word and i was just a little bit. Yeah he actually told me he evacuated in the middle of the day so totally afternoon and it should have been light out but there was so much smoke you could not see if cars were coming towards you you could hear the helicopters and the choppers above but you could not see them so they knew that it was time to to finally get out very happy to be home.
