Big challenges that weve had here weve had years of as sudden oak death issues and so we have a lot of dead trees up on the hills. Weve got a its been 97 years since weve had a fire here fortunately, an air attack on monday really help knock down this portion of the fire air support that weve had over the last couple days is a plays a key role in not calling this fire suppressant enough that crews can get into those areas. Without posing life safety risk still even when the fire is put out across these 800 plus acres it will be some time before those 1 million annual visitors can return to armstrong woods weve lost a lot of bridges.

Another destructive series of fires of course weve been tracking the czu lightning complex its in the mountains and send the tale and and santa cruz counties, this particular fire has burned more than 78,000 acres. It is an area that has not seen like this in decades. Cal fire says more than 300 structures have been destroyed 32 have been damaged containment and went up a little bit overnight 17 more than 1600 personnel are on the scene trying to prevent further destruction and were tracking the scu lightning complex fires in contra costa Alameda Santa clara, san joaquin and standards last counties more than 363,000 acres have burned across the 5 counties only 15 contained a flat last word, 5 people have been injured more than 20,000 structures are threatened in that complex and wildfires are burning not just here in the bay area but across the state of california. That has cal fires resources stretched relief in with the fire season really thats only just beginning for more details on the ongoing firefight were joined now by Daniel Berlant with cal fire daniel thank you so much for joining us. Give us a bit of a update right now particularly but the bay area things are getting better. Yeah, absolutely our firefighters are making progress on a number of from the north bay to the state of the south bay progress is being made. Weve had more favorable weather than we did just last week and thats allowed us an opportunity to strengthen our containment lines take a stand against this wildfire in just in time because we are expecting the temperatures to return back to us unseasonably dry and warming trend. So daniel i imagine that means that there are crews are trying to get as much done as they can while the weather is a bit better and of course we keep hearing about. Fatigue how are the frontline a cruise doing. Well our firefighters are working 24 hours a day tirelessly to protect communities that remain threatened by this fire build containment lines and do everything we can to stop these but you know it has been a very long fight already know that lightning siege started saturday august 15th and so were well over a week now into this siege as well, but these fires were on the heels of several major fires down in southern california. So many of our firefighters have been working now for weeks at a time weve read averted them as we made progress on on the southern end of the state moved them up north. But you know this is unfortunately a potential sign of whats to come here was going to ask you about that apparently fire season, you know starting earlier. Getting bigger that this kind of thing will be we keep hearing the word hope not but the norm. So do you agree or things likely to follow that pattern. Historically california experiences, its largest in its most damaging wildfires in the months of september and october so for us to have this level of activity in is is not a welcome now its not unusual completely unusual for us to have these type of lightning siege is 2008 if you remember we had a significant fire activity caused by lightning and even going back, you know 2 decades before that back in 1987, but to have the amount of destruction as far as acres burned thats what puts fire cj in the record books. So i you we know youre getting more help than a lot more help coming in from other states that may never be enough but how does that stand tonight. Right now we have over 14,000 firefighters on the front lines of these fires that weve continued to see some additional assistance the state of montana overnight a crews arrived in california they are now ready to go on to the front lines. We have several 100 other for firefighters from other states to assist us as well our partners at the National Guard activated as well flying helicopters and aircraft as well as guards members that have been trained as fire crews, they are hitting the front lines as well so really this isnt about above the all approach were hitting it with everything we have and really its so important right now that is we are so busy with these Mother Nature sparked fires that the public do their part to prevent sparking more fires because we really just cant afford another fire now say all right Daniel Berlant with calfire thank you so much for your time.
