This is where the firefighters have drawn the line, if you will, with this dozer line. They have made tremendous progress on this fire today. Now, 25 contained. Still, there is some concern about winds picking up this evening. Firefighters high above calistoga on mt. St. Helena continue to battle back any flames that dare stlthreaten to across highway 29, the demarcation lines have established to knock down the tubbs fire. Right now, the fire is backing into highway 29. We want to keep it on the north side of highway 29. Were making sure in the switchbacks we keep the heat out because a slight chance in the wind will blow the fire back over the road. In the meantime, helicopters hovered overhead, making water drops on the ridge to the west of the highway near the summit. And near Robert Lewis Stevenson state park. All of the efforts above have not been lost on the residents below in downtown calistoga. Like this family, which left a message and snacks in front of their evacuated home. There isnt any flames that we can see. Some residents have decided to stay behind, and though theyre feeling more at ease now, theyre still well aware this fire above them is still far from out. I think the other night when the wind was supposed to come up, we took shifts sleeping just in case. We have enough neighbors and everybodys looking out for everybody. Now, these guys dont just cut these lines and leave. You can see theyre leaving a hose line. Theyre also standing by with this rig. Cal fire rig, were told, from pasadena. The guys on it are from up by red bluff, a small sample of the crews that have come here to try to help here in northern california. In fact, larry and kristen, most of the people, the firefighters we have seen up here today, have been from southern california. Places like orange county, glendale, lots of help coming in to the area to try to make some progress on these fires. Live on mt. St. Helena, laura anthony, abc 7 news. Much needed help. Thank you.

But he said if he hadnt acted fast, he and his family, friends, and neighbors would not have made it out. I opened the garage door, and literally, it was like a tornado. I have never seen things whipping around. It was nuts. Then i looked up and it was a ball of flame coming towards us, right towards the house. My girlfriend was staying. I ran upstairs. Got her. Said celine, we gotta go. She ran. She grabbed her bag. We went out. I said what should i grab . I just said get in the car. We got in the car. We stopped at our neighbors house. It was about 12 31 when this hit. At 12 32, because i was looking at the clock, and my neighbors, i saw their lights werent on. I honked the horn. They have a gate. The dog woke up. Consequently, i found out that woke them up. They got out at 12 35 when i talked to them, 12 36. By the time they left, literally, you know, two minutes behind us, they had to go through a wall of fire because they couldnt get out. And at that time, their houses next to them were engulfed which is one house away from ours. And it was just nothing but fire. Imagine trying to drive through that. The video you saw right there was shot by his neighbor travis. He evacuated to a friends house in healdsburg and they watched the tragedy play out. He lives up on a ridge. And we literally watched atlanta burn. It was just something out of gone with the wind. Fire, fire, fire, and we heard explosion after explosion. We assumed those were the propane tanks. And it literally was just ablaze. Everywhere you looked, there was a blaze. Thats all we saw. He described the color of the fire as tomato soup red. Says it was unbelievable.
