All right, and were going to geto the cal fire press confere with an update on the czu lightening complex. They say its increased in size overnight to 63,000 acres. Lets listen in. There are some control lines around that community that we are monitoring and protecting that community. Moving into the eastern part on the highway 9 corridor, the fire did make some advancements again into the border creek area not hard push into this community as we do have resources there. Our resources are somewhat limited but were doing the best we can with what weve got and taking advantage of the tactical and Strategic Elements we have in play. Moving further down the community of felton is still doing relatively well. Yesterday morning we did have a spot fire in the community but at about 5 acres we were able to jump on it quickly and mitigate that issue, but again it shows the tenacity of this fire. Thats a long way from the fires edge, so were very vigilant in working with the local Fire Agencies where we may not have a lot of resources and jump on those. And then we can send resources to assist them and knock that out. Again, we do have some more structure loss last night. Its going to happen, unfortunately until we get more resources, get better control lines. But it has reduced greatly from what weve been experiencing this past week. A really big win for us yesterday. Fa o folks e, fir break i on t south wch cighway and highway 9. A fire break, if you will, just above the uc campus and the community of santa cruz so its not bulletproof but it gives us a really good strong hold, a control point in which to keep the fire from moving southward into those communities. So we are going to continue to monitor that. Were going to staff that and use some various tactics to provide even greater protection in that. And were now putting a secondary fire break in that area to give us even a better shot. The conditions were favorable. We had the resources, the happothe fks t a big one for us and well take that win for our operation. Speaking next from the Santa Cruz CountySheriffs Office is chief deputy clark. Good morning. So as i said beforere our number one priority at this point now evacuations are complete is the safety and security of the areas weve evacuated and then reconciling any sort of missing persons or welfare check type reports that we get. Ive encouraged folks in the past if you have somebody you havent heard from in a while obviously we want to go and make sure theyre okay and try to do the best we can to locate them, and were committed to that. So, ain ts someo yo heard from, a Family Member you can go to the red cross website or contact our office if you dont see them there, and then make a missing persons or a welfare check report. In terms of what we did last night, so again i mentioned this yesterday. We had about 50, 60 officers throughout the san lorenzo valley. And reallyient say enough about the appreciation our office has for our allied partners that have come in and supplemented our staff throughout the entire valley. Literally from the bay area on down. I mean, multiple agencies have come in to assist us and really assist the people that live there in maintaining the security of our neighborhoods while folks are displaced. Today that effort will continue, so weve got about 60 officers today that will continue those roving patrols. And obviously i mentioned this last night if theres images captured on cams and that sort of thing weve thats our priorities today and well continue to do that. As you know this fire is a unified command between cal fire, San Mateo CountySheriffs Office and Santa Cruz CountySheriffs Office. Speaking next detective good morning. For San Mateo County we have eight teams of Law Enforcement and volunteers who are providing security and house checks, and last night there were no issues. We know Everyone Wants updates, and there are at least three different interactive maps we have posted on our social media just prior to this press conference where you can track those fires.

The fire activity was reduced compared to previous nights. We were able to gain some additional success. Weve got our containment levels up to 5 . As we continue to gain more more intelligence we anticipate were going to have increase in acreage reported. But as of right now the fire activity is reduced somewhat. We do have resources that are working on that line 24 7. Theyre actively engaged and protecting all the assets that are out there while developing firmer control to contain this incident. So each day we continue to increase our limited resources cnutiwe to miga us y. Dditioci final comments is unit chief ian larkin. Good morning. As you hear today a lot of the things that are occurring are sometimes favorable, but we just need to remember for the public this is dynamic situation were in. We have limited resources out there working 24 7 to try to mitigate this fire. We have a 60,000 plus acre fire, we have evacuated. We do have some coming weather very concerning to us, so we want to make sure the public is vigilant and they remain out of the areas. As was said if you come to the coastal areas please dont come. We have difficulty keep people out of the area and safe. So please stay out of the area and allow our First Responders to get in there and do their job safely and protect the people were protecting and not add to the problem we have of our protecting our citizens. Thank you. So those are the formal speakers. Were happy to answer any questions anyone may have. All right, you are listening now there to cal fire giving an update on the lightening complex fire. Okay, we are streaming this on are go break. Age. 63,000 acres is the size of the czu complex fire right now. It did increase a little bit overnight, but cal fire officials did say they had a change in the weather pattern and made some progress overnight. They feel good, but of course they are concerned about some of the changing weather we may see tomorrow. These concerns about new lightening strikes, but they did say the fire is now 5 contained compared to 2 contained last night. Theres still the issue of limited resources were dealing with. When we talk about concerns out loong awnforceme o n, wee m a just a minute i am robert strickler. Ive been involved in communications in the media for 45 years. Ive been taking prevagen on a regular basis for at least eight years. For me, the greatest benefit over the years has been that prevagen seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly.

And we heard cal fire talk abou make. Our critical fire weather watch has been moved up to 5 00 sunday morning. So that means our first chance of some dry lightening, gusty winds arrives tomorrow morning. But the atmosphere getting more primed throughout the weekend. So the best chance would be sunday night into early monday for the chance once again of lightening and those gusty winds which will accompany perhaps some of those dry thunderstorms. Looking at live doppler 7 right the c a t wlfog on the coinue t evesf moiurere for sunday. Then we gettupove , a what happened last week sparking the lightening, then the gusty winds and the fires. So pretty much the same scenario. Not as great of a chance as we saw last sunday, but nonetheless the National Weather service thinks its a good enough chance we had that fire weather watch. Heres san rafael where you can see its clear out there.
