Move because of evacuations im darya folsom and im James Fletcher lets get right to the map lay out the scenario that were seeing this morning with fires burning down near santa cruz in eastern Contra Costa County out there near mount diablo in a course in the north bay as were seeing here the live pictures at a salon a county with the fire that is now prompting evacuations in fact a bill this morning, lets go live to will tran very close to one of the fire lines that they are working on trying to keep people out and people safe as we see properties go up in flames. Well. Were talking about farmland thats going up in flames right now and this one is getting a little too dangerous even for us and we want to bring you to the scene it is chewing up the land its marching down closer and closer to in the intersection them at Pleasant Valley road and sherry glen road. And you can clearly see it is going unimpeded because theyre not being stopped by the firefighters at all they have other things to care about especially since its really not causing any destruction to structures. But land let me i just notice an eerie sight you only can you walk with me we want to show you whats going on so it is intense as far as the heat at this location. Oh my goodness look at this looks like a farmer on his tractor or Something Like that could hear him maybe you can make it out it looks like hes on his john deere going through that location so i dont know what hes doing its simply not worth it but hopefully made out somebody off in the distance right there its too smoky and he is going through there trying to clear up some land here as well well walk here. You can see this fire is happening underneath some power lines look at this james darya look at the sunrise. It is right behind all that smoke, so it is an orange sun this morning. Thats just to show you just how bad the situation is you know this is going to leave the area or let me see when i can go on we are here we go look at this we couldnt see that farmer but you said so because you youre very close to the flames and the smoke. Oh there we go, hes got a b crazy. Hes got they told people its not worth it will thats why theyre not moving in because they said its not worth it if its not going to kill somebody were just happy to save lives. Hes risking his life right now. Look at that hes using. Using his bulldozer operator told those are yeah its a bulldozer name and hes picking up. Pieces of the land to drop it on the flames its almost like dont talk about my opinion and throwing it out a graph thats coming up in full of water, its just its like oh my goodness, what if is gas tank caught up in just burst so many years lauren i dont know what hes doing now. So many semi i dont want to show anything horrific on Live Television but he is thats a daredevil hes not thats why theyre not stopping him because obviously they dont want to risk their lives as well which is why we want to show you look at this this is intersection right here duryea james. The flashing lights youve probably noticed theyre not moving any closer that is where they are weve seen people coming up and down and i know standard practices is this they will tell them youre on your own im telling you not to go beyond here, but im not going to arrest you im sure right. But if anything should happen to you just so you know we have other responsibilities, so theyre not moving at all at that particular checkpoint. This particular man here as well id love to yell out of him, but im sure you could not hear me now it looks like hes adjusting it home and its like well so miles its like peta vermilion committed to you know with a hose is crazy. This is one of the crazier things i have seen hes trying to put out some fires that really are in the middle of nowhere as far as his lot is concerned so i dont know what he is really doing what he turned off his engine. Let me see if i could talk to skews me sir. Excuse me sir. You want to get youre talking to somebody you have a baby has gone well over our land was nothing in particular farm. He has he has a beef farm so maybe hes trying to stop it from moving towards be farm. But nonetheless i mean the thats gasoline thats not you could go up in flames and excuse me sir. Now i guess not hear me so the bottom line is you can see people desperate to do whatever they possibly can even risking their lives at storyahead is bright orange let me see if i could stop this. Police officer here let me see if i can tell him whats going on and see it is going to do anything about that this guy you see back and talk to them, i know when it is made to evacuate. The sheriff accurate. There is there is a man right there on his bulldozer i know theres nothing you probably can do, but thats were showing this on Live Television thats pretty crazy. It was there anything you can do or he just on his own on his own he said hes on his own he chose to stay there just heard and theyre not hes not even go going over there to say youre not get out of here so i made him aware of what the situation and he took a break and hes back as well wow that is because not long here have eyes. So he clearly looked over to the right side james and darya and hes keep going. I mean during a james you and i all of us have different decades of news, i dont think ive ever seen anything like this in the middle of a fire a lot just. Coming up in flames, hes out there with his bulldozer just worrying about that particular section. Yes, it looks like those folks that you know stand out. With the garden hose trying to protect their house, you know they feel really connected to the property its their business if theyre like the officer said theyre risking their own lives are putting their own lives in their hands when they do that what did you say will does the couple guys told you what happened when they drove in because they just wanted to check on property tell us about that those 2 guys that were looking at a one of the guys at a farm out there. Yes he went out there because he knows theres some family members that live in that particular stretch. Down the road there and it looks like they evacuated so he took it upon himself to go out there and check on his familys home, it looks like his familys home is ok not his own because he lives. Well like in this new coffee you can see the smoke here as well its gotten worse. He went over there to check on his familys home. You know i got to get historian james tires getting too close to rbs we yeah go okay alright, i get a ship that took camera down that taken a position please well say well let him relocate in the meantime, lets jump to another part. Of the north they want to go to Sonoma County where we have proper Sarah Stinson shes been also moving around to various locations, lets connect with her now and find out. With is like in her section of Sonoma County sheriff are you with us. James darya and you know weve been seeing this glow coming from afar weve been looking at that image all morning long and finally at where that glow has been coming from you can see driving northbound on one oh one all the way from santa rosa north to healdsburg and windsor and now im here in guerneville right on sweet water springs road. You can see behind me what was all burning charred land all here and the fires are still burning are deep in that terrain behind me and its very steep terrain, one of the cal Fire Fighters told me that theyre having to fight fire with fire mizzou men here because its hard to get into the steep terrain. Already firefighters have been working all night long as some are on a different some just started a new shift here. But we know that some structures have burned. This whole area has been evacuated and so you know cause missing from driveways of driving up this narrow narrow road. And fire crews will continue to fight this fire sometimes a zoom into fires in the in the distance and you still cant even see the flames barely just because of. How smoky it is you can see for example right in front of me see those flames right there active. And again this fire is burning actively 2 different fires burning in Sonoma County. And we know that overall across sonoma and napa county. Theres been a total of 46,000 acres that have burned still 0 contained where im at right now is about 1500 acres and has burned and 0 contained, we know that you know. Hundreds 100s of firefighters are out here from all over trying to get this under control because over sonoma and napa counties theres about 1900 structures that are threatened right now, we know already 50 have been destroyed so this fire moving rapidly. Now well looks like they have this area mainly on control under control. Its because the wind has really died down but one of the cal Fire Fighters just told me that they expect around 3 oclock today there to be some intense west winds that come through here so they fully expect this to reignite and maybe even spread they want to stop this fire from spreading into guerneville getting to guerneville would is just this way down this road Sweetwater Springs road. And its very close so thats why theyve evacuated a lot of this area we know the Granville School district has said even though were social Distance Learning for Distance Learning at home. A school is canceled today they want to make sure people concentrate on evacuating. And right now im just looking theres ash falling from the sky smoke very thick, so if you have been notified to evacuate. Definitely leave the area. It is time because they are doing everything they can from preventing it from spreading. But we just dont know what those winds it could be a dangerous situation you guys for now send it back to in the studio. All right, thanks. A lot sarah. An ok from here lets continue our team coverage. We have fires burning also in san mateo and santa cruz counties this morning. A fire thats grown in size overnight reyna harvey is on the scene and rainy were talking about the crews coordinating behind you whats going on right now. Right so many of those cruise darya and james have handed out were going to show you are in Scotts Valley right now its about a town of 11,000 people in currently right here this is where youre seeing multiple agencies, including the Sheriffs Office here youre seen a the Fire Department cal fire and this is where theyre all meeting to have a different meetings to recount how theyre going to tack each of the fires that are out here because remember there are several them in this area spread out we know the biggest concern for a lot of the firefighters here is that this is a 0 containment currently so theyre trying to battle this fire thousands of residents about 22,000 people have been evacuated so far so many of the First Responders that you see here a lot of them sitting down in the area. A lot of them have been working double shifts around the clock. So many of them camping out here you see they have this and made into a makeshift area where they can have meetings and planned action moves for the day and they can also grab a meal. Theyve been out here throughout the morning and theyre going to plan to here for the next few days, especially with the fire as it continues to grow in size. Now again, we know they worked many hours out here and they continue to have to work, but we also know that 3 firefighters have been injured in all of this. No civilian injuries to report so far but again this where the majority of the First Responders are meeting every morning and throughout the day just to grab a meal and plan how theyre going to try to get a handle on these fires dorian james all right, thanks a lot of rain from the a coordinating efforts there were talking about how we need actual mutual aid of possible, but. The rest of the state is having problems too and it looks like the weathers going to get worse for them. Yeah, john. Yet today were dry were hot and it will be increasingly windy come the afternoon to you can see the impact of smoke across the bay area from berkeley here that smoke visible in the distance thats not cloud cover but rather just that the haze from the fires we do have a red flag warning in effect for portions of Solano County including vacaville, one of our wind your spots today is actually going to be right there at the western edge of the Central Valley where were going to see winds pushing down right along the Eastern Front of the coast orange thats going help to result in the spread of this fire and these are going to be very dry winds to towards the interior of the bay, so this is an area that meteorologist lee is going to be a problem areas far as fighting this fire goes. You actually see that winds are directly from the northwest right now around out list thats at the western flank of this fire, ive been consistent throughout the morning at around 10 to 15 miles per hour. This is one of the reasons that the fired rapidly grew to the south into the east so much approaching areas like a vacaville where as having its impact this morning in county a little closer to the coast, multiple blazes both in marine and sonoma counties not spreading due to winds right now necessarily but winds will pick up into the afternoon for these coastal areas that is also potentially going to have an impact on the spread of this fire burning right at the line of san mateo and santa cruz counties in the Santa Cruz Mountains further south in the bay. Lets get to temperatures because that is another factor right here that is going to be impacting all of us, but also those fires 60s 70s and 80s even in pittsburgh right now for your current temperatures so were starting off this morning on the warm side were going to be finishing the day really hot yet again Still Holding on to triple digits. Morgan hill at a 100 degrees conquered antioch at one o 3, one 02. The 85 while now, but in livermore both at 98 degrees today, ive got plenty more coverage as far as what weather impacts could be seen today as well as all the details on fire all right, we are back time now a 17 and we have some new information to share with you this morning, not only we have these live pictures showing us the smoke as its coming up from the fires burning there in Solano County. But we also have a new map. That was just recently released by the National Weather their Sacramento Office and its a more detailed look at where the fires burning currently thats lake various on the top of the page you can see where vacaville is located and now we see looks like the burn area has not only a burn its way down towards eastern sections of western sections of vacaville, but now also potentially some of the northern portions of town as well and thats prompting some local officials to wonder if perhaps maybe more Evacuation Orders or perhaps necessary this morning and they already told thousands be able to get out. Weve also had reports of scores structures. Being burned, lets see if we get a better handle on whats going on in vacaville. Weve got the fire chief on the phone now Kris Concepcion can you hear us. If they cant okay what it what is the status as far as evacuations and homes burned at this point. Though a hardback edition, the we just called for a new era accusation and that the Browns Valley area for 30. So that everything from the northern border of our and west of ground valley road. All the way down to a markham across the feral and that includes the vine. Includes by street as well as the vines stand. So now were up to about 4,004 4500 homes that are threatened within the city. Does not want to make it perfectly clear there have there have been no homes. Within city limits that have burned within city limits now i did hear about up to 50 structures. That have been damaged or destroyed or any of those in the hills above vacaville or where those. Knows i i dont i dont have information on that cannot actually shooting for the senior back though okay. But uh i have heard of that but ah, but ah nothing within city one. Its just that there are so many fires burning in this thing is so huge. When you went to bed you might have thought its not going to get to vacaville. You know what youre absolutely we i got a call from the merger applications Oakland County a for much better and they said if i threatened in seoul. Ready and then i got phone call that i really wasnt it spread very quickly quicker than we saw. The firebomb very hard against the edges of our city. And continue to do so our firefighters been out there all night. Thank the fire and actually keeping out of their homes as well as our Law Enforcement officers are going door to door try to get people out of their homes safely and meantime there are people that are going in will tran our reporter i dont know if you see them out there along the. First evacuation line and he is stopped a truck on its way out in a couple of guys who said they went to their farm was burned down. And then right before our eyes, a guy with a the bulldozer just a little tractor sized thing is bulldozing a fire line but thank you what can he do against at. It is it firefighting is you have the highly trained to do firefighting so we discourage anyone from doing is taking the helm kind of actions. I want to come back very dangerous and thats how people get hurt so were acting in one we and were doing the best we can for our cal fire resources and all the other resources that are on fire. Doing everything they can to protect homes within city back though as well around the area. But we want people to get out safely. So instead of trying to protect your property on your own. That is that to the trained professionals and get out safely. Do you need any extra extra support either on the ground from the air because we understand that a lot of this areas hard access. And there werent enough choppers. Well i cant speak to that only cared like that i might add working or work were working as part of a of the incident
