Robin good morning, im live here on a west side road. This is west of healdsburg in this community where theres wineries those homes and unfortunately the walbridge fire part of the l a new lightning complex it traveled south east or southwest and southeast which is what they didnt want to happen because thats where the homes are take a look at this video we dont have Cell Phone Service inside there otherwise. Id be live to show you but you can see in their home on fire. This is the Worst Nightmare of not only the people who live in this area, but also the firefighters is what theyre trying to avoid all day yesterday with air drops boots on the ground theyve been working all week actually up near the armstrong woods area near guerneville to prevent it from coming down here southeast from where the fire was mainly burning earlier this week and thats what happened the winds picked up and it has probably happened so quickly because in the video you can you see firefighters in the area that video shot on Wallace Creek road. So what you do is you drive down west side road then you turn right onto mill creek road in down there it gets pretty hairy and then if you turn right on Wallace Creek road thats where it gets really really bad and you can see i mean theres downed trees its very scary down there and did calling on him to be safe for firefighters to go down there at this point. Were trying to get an update from cal fire in terms of how many homes burned overnight, but clearly they have to wait until the sun comes up to see that so stay tuned, well let you know if we have an update for now im live near hillsborough Sarah Stinson kron 4 news all right sir, thanks for that live report we want to go now to the south bay where were going to hear from officials at the czu lightning complex fire know 50,000 acres. Were still sitting at 0 containment. We still have 50 structures that we can confirm have been destroyed that number will go up we do anticipate that get in the triple as we go out there and feel proven verify what has actually been destroyed. We also about 64,600 people have been evacuated from a the evacuation 6 for a 64,000. A and we now have over 1000 personnel a horrifying first not seen 1026. Without a pass over to our Operations Section chief was actually running the operations on the ground out tell friends that Management Team, keepers. A good morning we again more significant the fire behavior throughout the fire. We did see a little bit of a marine influence of some moisture there that came into the earlier in the evening, although that was short lived and when receded back. Our fire conditions increased significantly. It is helping very much more on the western edge of the fire but on the eastern edge of the start providing us the relief that we would like to see your would traditionally see with an onset of some marine layer in coming to the area. With that we experience again a more active fire on the eastern part of the fire. The student packed a number of the communities everywhere from Boulder Creek tube in london and further im the sort of see there was more structure loss throughout but the fire again, the Park Missions like the resources were doing the best we absolutely can with that there are also a number of the fantastic by our first not only the firefighters but our Law Enforcement brothers sisters, assisting us and doing our job be successful in that endeavor. One of the things that continues to hamper as we do have evacuations in place there in place for very good reason only for the Public Safety and the safety of our first but with that when the people that you stay behind and you try to take theres no hands with the trend suppress fires it creates a bigger issue for our First Responders and in that this. Those that stayed we had last night 3 separate rescues the pool are vital. Very few resources away have to rescue those individuals because they put themselves in peril did not train firefighters. I know theyre trying to do the right thing for the property of the neighbors. But in the long run, its created to be a problem for for the First Responders and because of that it took our part by the way from the fire fight. Rescue them. Put our First Responders the firefighters are long for brothers sisters 2 game to some other danger to rescue them out of that situation so. If you have been that evacuated please evacuate put yourself in that situation to put her First Responders into that situation, thank you. Next to Santa Cruz County Sheriffs Offices chief every quote. Good morning. So i want to touch on kind of what we did last night in terms of our progress and then a couple other things for people that are displaced right now with regards to a little bit of a time because people might be wondering that as well as well as pets or or animal so first starting with last night. We continue through the evacuation city a scotts again i mentioned yesterday that the population that area about 12,000 people so were nearly done with that this morning on the end and again that areas everything west of highway 17 and so were nearly done with that we used about 76 people to do that last night and then once we get done without for us really its its transitioning to a certain extent to to stick to it to where all of our folks are going to be dedicated to security. So long as this fire doesnt change and we have to somehow moving to a different area for any other you know future or potential evacuation. So. Later today soon as the evacuations are here in Scotts Valley were going to basically 93 people are going to be spread out 93 officers and deputies spread out. Throughout the valley throughout Scotts Valley got to do. Roving patrols and that sort of thing to make sure that peoples homes are safe and that were keeping eye on anyone who that they want to come up here for the wrong reasons and so i just reiterate. What chief bratton said theres theres no reason to come back into an evacuated area. Again it places fire. The cal fire is doing the absolute best they can to stop this fire and coming back into an evacuation zone like you heard draws them away from their job. It also draws us away from potentially looking for people and evacuating that we need to. Last night we did get a couple calls with regards to suspicious vehicles. But again weve got people that that are out there that are looking for those looking for anyone else that might driving around looking to see her go for gore as a whole in terms of timeframe i want to bring this up because i could i could imagine that if youre displaced by this fire. You might be wondering like how long am i going to be away from my home and i dont want to give any false hope here because its its a dynamic situation that this fire is not contained and so you know what i tell my loved one it could be potentially weeks right depending on what this fire does so i throw that out there in the sense that if the people are wondering how soon can i get that it could be potentially weeks and that thats all depend upon what the fire dies. The last thing i want to touch on real quick is just animals because you know you you know maybe somebody wants to come back into an evacuation zone because maybe they forgot that maybe theres Something Like that and you know i have to go back to have to go back. I want to give you animal controls phone number and so what we can do is we can potentially assist animal control and going up and doing a sort of a rescue want to pat and so i want to give you that number and thats a 3, 1, 4, 7, 1, 1, 1, 8, 2, 8, 3, 1, 4, 7, 1, 1 one 82 with regards to we are going to bring in 2 speaking next form the San Mateo County Sheriffs Office is detective plants ways. The morning so percent and county overnight. We had Law Enforcement officers from multiple agencies going door to door making the announcements of the evacuation thank you to our monthly Utility Partners who assisted with that has a recap evacuation zones or every town that is west of 35 all the way up to highway one. We did see a lot of cars leaving last night. We appreciate those people who did that we want to make so that we have personnel were able to direct the resources accordingly and be able to save the properties as much as possible. Unfortunately were seeing a lot of her still coming in were asking everybody to avoid coming into these coastal towns and disease route so that we can leave them open for the people were trying to get out as well as the First Responders. The have and the high School Evacuation point is now also were asking everybody, especially people with our resort trailers or large animals to go to the san mateo event center. And we also have spot fires throughout this region im south county fires on both sides of highway one. We also want to let everybody know that our hearts are with everybody whos impacted by this. We understand what youre going through these are our neighbors these are friends these are families who are with you on this mission.

Always with us now to talk about. This far grown 700 acres 2008 to the dollar overnight with some of the humidity so we did receive a tip of the fire it. But dont well youre to sense that something is changing on this incident. Once that were in there pulled out there was really burning activity out there in which joe all were lines out there and burned in several Different Directions and have further control efforts that are evacuation efforts to rescue efforts to lower personnel on the line. So again today. Well, those first know the arctic we do all over florida. Weve increased our first nobody or almost a 100 since last night. Which is good, its still a lot were going to continue to bring additional personal resources in there or continue to engage in this part by and well take a little wins and i got up and do a bit more thank you. And our final speaker, a for the. General assembly to senators areas call for you to keep him out. A good morning. As its been said this is a very dynamic situation that were dealing with here in both san mateo and santa cruz counties. I reiterated last night this is a historic of fans we have fire burning in areas that we have never burned at all. So as this fire continues to grow. As we try to get resources and to contain the fire. We just need to make sure that those that are evacuated. Heed those evacuation notices leave the area if you havent as it stated, were taking our vital resources that we have which are very limited. Were having to commit those to rescue those has decided to stay and try to assist those communities. We have firefighters out there trying to do perimeter control that have been taken away from that effort in order to effect this rescue to make sure everybody is safe and has left the area so. Stress it enough that Everybody Needs to leave the area and stay out of the area, lets get in there and do our jobs were doing everything that we can we have committed every available resource. That is available to us from our local Fire Agencies and our cal agency as well. We have basically put everything we have on the front line in order to try to contain this fire and as resources come in would be a sign of as the teen suspect to those areas that have the greatest impact in so please. We the area he the evacuations notice. If youre anywhere in the area or in front of the fire. And has not receive an evacuation notices. Take this is a. That front nose, a pair yourself be ready so any that that we do have to evacuate you are ready to go. Thank you. Without happy to answer any questions about the deal weve been watching an update a live update from officials at the czu complex fire which continues to burn and no containment in santa cruz and san mateo counties just in case you missed. The beginning of that update one of fill you in on the fact that there are now 50,000 acres that have burned 64,000 people in both san mateo and santa cruz counties have been evacuated and perhaps the most ominous a note that was said in Santa Cruz County anyway that it could be weeks before evacuees are allowed to return home. They also stressed the importance of not going back into those neighborhoods once youve been evacuated because they talked about situations where people went back in they were trapped fire crews have to come back out and rescue them and they were telling folks said not only are you putting your own life in danger but youre putting fire crews in danger as well theyre saying that they have limited resources and they just dont want you doing that they use that as an example to show why you should not be going back into those communities because once again theyve had to rescue people selfie ready to go pack up everything when you get that notice you to head out make sure you have your pets with you. All of your Important Documents as well because these fires just continue to move quickly throughout the bay area. We have an interactive map on our website all you have to do is go over to kron 4 dot com. We have a list of shows you where the fires are burning. The active ones that shows you where the Evacuation Centers are in addition to that we have a list of up to date evacuation orders and warnings that will help you out as well as all on our website kron 4 dot com it is 6618 this friday morning welcome back to the kron 00 04am morning news, lets go ahead and get a check of the Weather Forecast what a smart idea hey good morning marty good morning. Everybody exactly the shot i wanted to go to and if you can make this out now that we have a bit more light in here but if you look very carefully you can see from the fog and the marine layer kind of breezing on and we like to see that i mean the marine layer thickening up a little bit even as we get the sun to join us in its going to be eroding away over the next hour or so most the ratings on the board in the 60s for the east bay up to the north bay, a mixture of 50s and 60s 63 for san jose. However, as delightful as all these elements are rushing a little bit warmer around the perimeter of the bay cooler actually inland because conditions are a little drier there they were not able to support the heat overnight. Ok so what drove drove all this was that front up towards our northwest provided the onshore wind were going to have that continuing on today tomorrow to but somewhat uneventful one of the weekend until we get to sunday night and a new system look out for maybe some moisture sticking up from the southwest and that is tropical moisture from the Tropical Storm want to show you speaking of which the trop of the moisture patterns that we have a drying out during the day shore, but least hugging parts of the bay you can see some of the green there. The overnight recovern as they call it still spilling in the central valley, this is now saturday morning. Then we go all the way out to sunday morning. And we have Something Different going on by this point that might be when we have that moisture were speaking of that parcel coming up here and we might be having potentially some rain what were concerned about is lightning flashes it still doesnt look as we use the term promising is last sunday was wed like to see the lightning but in terms of rain quantitatively been ice disk in some of the rain even as modest as it will be heres the wind pattern that we see here flowing you see the northwest westerly flow thats the onshore winds. We spoke of theyre going to be with us again today to probably a little bit in the saturday of course some of this being driven by the fact the inland areas heat up more so that drives the factor ok so we have fog going on as we can see from the overcast position over the east bay hills today. Yes, were and join the onshore flow that we have somewhat more mild then for the weekend thats we have as you can see temperatures will remain pretty much in the midnineties but a few showers developing sunday night into monday morning, potentially there might be some dry lightning to walk out for all of that. Today 74 smoke and haze, San Francisco 84 opened 85 per san jose with warm and still dealing with the smokes course happening down the santa cruz fires from that perspective. Midnineties going on the far east bay u
