Including 13 in Sonoma County. Of the more than 600 missing persons reporting in Sonoma County about half have now been located. Some 20,000 evacuees are in temporary shelters and at least 3,500 homes and businesses are destroyed. Eight different fires in napa, solano and solano counties are burning, more than 100,000 acres have been destroyed. In this map you can see just how far its expanded into three bay area unt couldees. Also mandatory evacuations now in effect in parts of geyserville, calistoga and sonoma as well as skroanta rosa. Now, as of the atlas fire it is continuing to grow. There are evacuation advisories in Solano County. Lets get a check of conditions on the ground there. Anser hassan joins us live from fairfield right now. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Good morning, laura. I spoke with Fairfield Police just a short while ago, they say the good news is that the fire has not reached the city limits and they say the wind has actually been pushing the fire in the opposite direction so that may help, but the fire, as you can see above me, is about three miles away. That you are looking at right now is the fire line. This is the east ridge green valley area. A voluntary Evacuation Order was issued for this area and all residents on the west side of interstate 80 are advised to be prepared to evacuate. Now, as of 1 00 a. M. This is what the atlas fire looked like, this is a tweet from one of our viewers in fairfield, it was taken from mt. Howell. Residents in the ranch chose solano neighborhood are under an evacuation right now, but they are encouraging everyone to pack a bag and be ready to leave on short notice. People have found shelter at one of the three evacuations en is terse in fairfield, one of them is a Solano Community center. Some of the folks have been parked out with their rvs in the parking lot, others are inside. We spoke to one of the volunteers he says for many of the people this has been a surreal experience to have to leave their homes and helplessly watch as the fire approaches the city. The simple fact people that are, you know, wondering whats happening to their homes, do they still have a home, you know, some are coming all the way from Lake Berryessa which is quite a ways from here. Reporter a lot of people struggling to deal with this fire situation right now. As for schools, the School District has made an announcement on their website that fairfield schools will be closed through friday. Reporting live in fairfield, anser hassan, today in the bay. Have to take precautions for the kids. Thank you. Meantime, the winds are escalating the situation for firefighters. Meteorologist rob mayeda continues our Team Coverage with the conditions in the north bay. Were starting to see a few changes as we approach sunrise, winds have been relatively light across some of the hilltops overnight but beginning to see those changes around santa rosa into novato, 7 to 13 mile per hour winds, on some of the hilltops into napa county wind speeds up to about 25 Miles Per Hour and this trend we think will continue as we go through the midmorning hours, you can see as those north winds pick up humidity levels begin to drop off approaching lunchtime, 13 around napa, 18 fairfield, down to 10 in napa by 1 30 in the afternoon, then as the north winds begin to back off humidity levels begin to make a come back. Air quality a big concern, unhealthy air from the north bay into the central bay. We will show you based on the winds how we think the snow will play out today from morning to midday set up across the central bay, by the evening moving more into the trivalley and east bay, into friday morning you still see those areas of moderate to dense smoke from the north bay into the east bay valleys. Spare the air day, worst air quality north county, unhealthy air for the entire bay area and the spare the air episodes will continue up and through this upcoming weekend. Back to you. Thanks, rob. In Sonoma County right now there is a mandatory evacuation in order for guyser vil. Today in the bays bob redell filed this report from the evacuation zone. Reporter you can see it burning brightly in the background, thats the pocket fire, its burning on the Northern Edge of geyserville a small town in Sonoma County. According to the latest update from cal fire its burned at least 4,000 acres with little to no containment. Remember, we are under a red flag warning because of low humidities and the possibility of high winds and gusts but i just spoke to a cal fire firefighter, he says, yes, it was gusty yesterday afternoon, but right now not so much. Not seeing the kind of winds that were forecasted. So in his opinion thats a good thing, but there is still a mandatory evacuation in effect for parts of geyserville in case that fire enters the town, the evacuation was ordered around 6 00 last night for highway 128 east to river rock casino, south on 128 from guysers road up to cal spipine. Firefighters on stand by in case the pocket fire continues to come down the hill. Want to go to scott alonso he is the spokesperson for Solano County. You had good news a half an hour ago, that tubbs fire is 10 contained. Yes, good morning. Yeah, we are excited about this development, our firefighters are doing an amazing job out in the field and the tubbs fire which is the largest fire burning in Sonoma County is now 10 contained according to cal fire. Were excited about that development, however, there are other fires still burning, still posing threats. It is a dangerous situation out in the area. There are mandatory evacuations that we had to issue late last night in geyserville as you mentioned before, parts of sonoma and also there was an advisory evacuation issued to northeast santa rosa, a large part of santa rosa is now under an advisory evacuation notice. So that notifies individuals that conditions can change rapidly with these fires so they need to be prepared to leave immediately if that mandatory evacuation goes out. What do you say to people because i know a lot of people when they are asked to leave their homes they want to get back and want to get back to normal as quickly as possible. What can people do to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible and that everyone is safe from the evacuees to those working to battle the fire . I think we totally understand that people want to return home as fast as possible, they want to maybe find a pet they left behind or important valuables, but be prepared ahead of time. Have an exit plan, get a go bag, bring water, bring your cellphone charger. Dont forget closed toed shoes, dont forget socks, things that you dont think about in the heat of the moment, but be prepared and that will help you don the line so when that call comes in you may only have machines to escape. Be prepared ahead of time will help our First Responders get to the scene and hopefully save your property. I would imagine, ian, some of the Evacuation Centers you have everything from people with literally just the clothes on their back to people with their cars packed with everything they can put in there. We have a lot of needs at the shelters, we are meeting those needs by providing medical supplies, information on unemployment insurance, how to contact your local pharmacy to get medication that you may have left behind and we also have Mental Health services so a wide range of options are available for folks and a lot of the shelters are taking donations. You can usually check on social media depending on which shelter needs, they do vary, but we are seeing a lot of good will from the community providing socks, food, you know, sleeping bags, blankets. Its been really inspiring to see folks come together and helping their neighbors. Right. I have heard a lot of drives going on this weekend as well and people trying to make trips up there to try to drop off some of these things. Scott, we know you are so busy with you by appreciate the time you took to join us this morning. 5 09 right now. I want to take a look as we continue to look at some of the really extraordinary photos because theres so many hot spots and we see that, you know, First Responders have been going door to door to make sure some of those evacuees have been able to go out and get out as quickly as they could, those mandatory evacuations in geyserville. This is a live look this morning at sonoma plaza. You see how quiet it is there. Such a concern. I remember talking to a friend of mine who has a home in sonoma, on monday she was like, were good, were safe, but as these conditions change to rapidly things have changed and so many people need to get out of the area now. Its causing a lot of congestion on the roadways. We want to go to mike inouye who is keeping track on whats going on on those roads. A lot of congestion up there. Definitely. Scott has done a great job from Sonoma County, you guys just did an interview with him. We talked about calistoga getting evacuated yesterday afternoon and sonoma evacuated now and thats a lot of surface street traffic. We have had closures for 128 here, over here, 128 goes for a significant portion of this north bay shot all the way in towards geyserville, bob is talking about the fact that its open, thats the way to get out of geyserville, closed through calistoga, closed past the atlas fire. A lot of folks were forced to come down 121, highway 12, 116, flooding these roadways from calistoga and sonoma evacuations. Now, the latest i heard was that there was a closure for 121 also getting down between highway 12 and 37 that would take you down toward this way if you need to get to vallejo or novato. That was a problem. I havent heard about it reopening but i havent found any updates from chp. I would say avoid that portion and get over towards 101 as best you can because it is still open through these areas, so is highway 37. 101 through santa rosa also open but the off ramps they will not let you into the city. That traffic flow will slow as it did for the last couple days, folks were slowing to see the closures signs and read whats going on. Coming up on today in the bay our breaking News Coverage of the north bay wildfires continues. This is a situation that is changing by the minute, the evacuations and where those flames are headed to next. And the air quality is the worst its been since the air management district has been tracking it. Thats 17 years. I will show you what you need to know to keep yourself safe and what kind of mask you should buy if you want to. And we are now beginning to see some north winds on the increase around the fire lines in the north bay, winds speeds 13 Miles Per Hour novato where we have a red flag warnings, north bay, east bay, south bay hills, we will take a closer look at the winds and the impact on our air quality coming up. And the smoke from these wildfires is really drifting in all parts of the bay area. Right now you can see the air quality right there, being called the dirtiest its ever been and School Districts are either keeping kids inside or canceling classes completely. Today in the bays kris sanchez is live in fremont with a look at how you can stay safe as the air quality deteriorates. Reporter hi there, marcus. Right from the beginning the air was so bad, the smoke was so thick and so heavy that people as far as 100 miles away from the fire zones were feeling the affects on their health because of that fire. I want to show you this map from the air Quality Management district, its a realtime map and green is good and there is not a speck of it on any part of that map. Orange is unhealthy for sensitive groups including the elderly and children and red is unhealthy for everyone. According to the air district this is the worst air we have had since they started tracking it 17 years ago. Were seeing elevated levels of particulate matter that are higher than we have ever seen since we began measuring that in 2000. Reporter now, if you are close to the north bay fires you should seek shelter or leave the area all together if you can. Use an n95 mask, i will show you what to look for in just a moment and for everyone else away from the area, stay indoors if you can, keep the windows and doors closed, keep the ac on recirculate in your home or car so you are not sucking in that bad air. That is an n95 mask, its not a regular surgical mask, it has a filter that will pull out that particulate matter, that is the problem for lungs, it clogs the airways and that is what the problem is for young children, the elderly and folks with respiratory trouble. I got this two pack for about 7 at a Lowes Hardware store, i know other Hardware Stores carry them as well. I have also found them online so you can probably have them delivered to your home. Those regular surgical masks that you might have or the band nas that sometimes we use when we go to fires, those are not going to protect your lungs though they will make the air a little bit less stinky. Coming up in the next 15 minutes i will show you how schools are responding. You talked about some of them canceling classes all together, other schools are doing things a little differently, i will show you what you should expect from your School District and how you can continue to track those conditions for yourself and for your family. In fremont, kris sanchez, today in the bay. A lot of recess inside today, a lot of pe as well. Thank you very much. We want to go back to napa county where some people have spent days in shelters and this situation is not getting any better. Nbc bay areas jay gray live at the Napa Valley College evacuation center. Whats the mood of people you are talking to . Is there any hope out there . Reporter well, always hope but a lot of frustration as well and a lot of people just on edge because they dont know at this point whats happened to their homes. You guys were talking about the air quality there. We continue to have smoke and ash in the air here at times it looks like starting to snow, looks like were getting some flurries, thats how much continues to fall here. These shelters are open across the strike zone right now, we are in front of one here, an evacuation shelter, 300 people inside here and that number is going to grow according to officials, as will the fires pushed by winds at times, gusting over 40 miles an hour. Thousands across the region are in shelters right now, not only serving as a place to run to from the flames, but also these are Donation Centers so people bringing by water, food, clothing, things that will be desperately needed not only the next couple of days but weeks and months especially for those who have lost everything in these fires. The fight continues. Firefighters getting some support overnight, strike teams from around the country moving in along with the National Guard. The focus here continues to be not only on containment, theyre working on that, but also saving lives, saving property and structures where they can, thats going to continue as well. Back to you. Jay gray with the very latest for us from Napa Valley College. A lot of people are still talking about whats going on with the weather today. Those winds expected to pick up today which is a frightening thing for a lot of those people on stand by right now. We will be watching wind speeds accelerating just after sunrise today through midday, that has an impact on our air quality, too, pushing more smoke to the south. Right now wind speeds around the fire lines relatively light and that has been a welcomed sight overnight, wind speeds generally lower than the expectations were for those hilltops overnight, but here is how things look moving forward. First in terms of humidity 13 to 18 , bone dry conditions in the north bay out towards Solano County. 10 in napa, thats the last thing firefighters need is humidity levels dropping, they start to make a come back towards the evening. Right now wind speeds north at 18 and the hills around napa accelerating from 7 30 to midday and then decreasing once we head into the afternoon and evening where the red flag warning will expire. Current view of the air quality shows unhealthy air around the central bay and our smoke model future cast from morning to midday keeps the smoke pouring south down towards san jose, transitioning maybe less away from the santa clara valley, maybe more so out towards the trivalley by tomorrow morning. Smoke a big part of the forecast here not just for today but over the next three days, the worst air quality for smoke pollution obviously in the north bay up towards contra costa county. Temperatures today in the 60s to mid and low 70s in and around the south bay. If you want to find weather relief in terms of bringing an end to these fire conditions possibly late wednesday, next thursday could see rain ahead, but more north winds likely to come back early saturday morning. We are tracking the fire and movement there. We are also looking at what Transportation Options you have coming through the north bay and 101 continues to be a great option taking you all the way up in past the santa rosa area and geyserville, the changes up there and evacuation. Sonoma has held up nicely despite the evacuation and all that traffic last night as folks left the area, we are showing there is maybe closures and limited traffic flow between there and highway 37. Keep that in mind. Over here the fire shifted, anser was talking about green valley and suisan valley road was closed for a period of time. There is Traffic Control through the area, same thing for green valley road. Be careful in the area. As a result of all that Traffic Control we have no more Sonoma County transit. They tried service yesterday, suspended until further notice there. Santa rosa city bus there saturday stfr sill limited there as well as the vine and smart trains t
