Weve been able to establish more lines can to improve those lines that we have established and getting that another day closer to 2. Extinction is fire. As you can see we have a some on the maps and the black but that signifies is that they have the fire extinguished, were holding it. We have lines established around it. And we feel very very confident that that has been secured and again thats up there. It would be called a vision of golf and key low. Thats an area is was critical so that if we did have the spread to the north east and threatening santa clara county. So we button that up and thats and a patrol a mop up type status. Moving along the north zone again. Become a park we do have some active flames on the ridge we do have the lines established as you can see on the map and were slowly let that fire creep down as part of our strategy. So that we can make it in and fully extinguish that fire. I anticipate within the next couple days and with weather expecting that that we should be successful in debt that endeavor puts more a black leaning on the map. Im moving down again were continuing with some 4 extinguishment of of the of the fire throughout the western or personal fire. Comey were looking with her of the structure looking every energizing with power here with it today if not sooner and then again. Or lines willing those lines above that community and taking advantage of the weather to to start a full extinguishment of any sort of fire sitting about that community down to the south are control lines are holding to the south as well as or of this year secondary line. So we do have a really good protection for the community of santa cruz. And the usi campus. Moving up the 9 quarters which has been a challenge for us with the communities of a the film them and Boulder Creek downpour. Over here then weve been able to get some more good control lines up above. On the the the fire. Were continue to do work and prove that weve got some good line in black in the line extinguish the fire above a good portion of felton todays operation has been critical theyve been preparing working on this. For the past 2 days really. And what we have a plan on is later this afternoon early evening is lines been constructed we have the preparations in place to do a burn operation which will of black in line bring the fire up to the fire that hung up on the un to the ridge top. That will eliminate that issue and what that will do is create very nice. Barrier. For that the fire around the community of film that will then a button up that part of the fire but felt and so that is excellent news to take a couple days once we do that to continue to mop up. You got the hot spots and then render that safe and get her Utility Companies in there to do their job. As we finish that will be moving up towards the moment in that line will actually come to the south end of moment, so that line would only protect home but the bottom end of the moment as we continue continue to progress. The moment and into Boulder Creek. We continue to work diligently up there. We have a lot of resources a Boulder Creek. From cal fire in our other allied agencies. Theyre working diligently. Expel putting the line again very difficult terrain and working among a number of structures and well have a lot of success in the coming were looking at trying to get that completed just like we are in these other communities are marching, and preparing as we go ahead of time and implementing those operations that strategy. By looking really again painstaking process lot of homes in there were working around all those homes control lines put in extinguishing the fire around structures and then the big thing is opening the roads into the interior of the fire. With all the trees that have come down. The power lines so forth weve been able to establish a group thats gone inserting yesterday getting deep into some of these road systems some a little bit more work than others but that a group is a working in doing that work with the county roads in a variety of other agencies to get in and then once we get in we rendered safe, getting the Utility Companies in right behind us so they can start. Repairing and in putting back that infrastructure. Were doing the same thing on highway working with caltrans and doing the same kind of operation. So we can start opening that in getting interior to these other areas once we can also get interior are inspections teams can get in and start doing their so we can get to that taken care of as well so its a multifaceted effort is part of the 60 which meant the process. Former program the air is looking very favorable with the weather so were going to be flying once again our aircraft. The past few days we topped out the amount of hours we can flatter aircraft. Every day were weve been dropping more more water as of yesterday. They dropped her from their work 6 copters 256,000 gallons of water in one day. Thats pretty significant. Were timing our aircraft that significant every day we see more and more thats in the support of our Ground Troops taking care of those hot spots and so forth to this point are copters have dropped over one 0. 6 million gallons of water since the beginning of this event so were using all the tools that we have available to us to working assumption is targeting a everybodys back their lives back to normal. Thank you. Speaking next from the Santa Cruz CountySheriffs Offices chief deputy chris clark. Well good morning. Answers some positive news continuing that the you know the the theme of of not a lot of people run around same situation last thankfully is there was a the night before and yesterday. So again going into our now our 3rd operational period without an arrest and even last night we didnt we had no citations so were seeing a lot of people that are that are really doing what were asking him to do and kind of staying out of those areas is you just heard that she front mentioned you know getting those resources and repair the roads to prepare. Power lines and things like that which are obviously pieces of the plan to repopulate those areas and make sure that quickly. So last night as i at the at the last press conference officers running around last night making sure that basically everything is safe. Again were going to continue that today with 70 deputies and officers 30 from our agency 20 from inside the county with our allied partners here from different inside Santa Cruz County and 20 mutual aid from over the hill. Last night we respond to 14 calls for service 6 welfare checks. Im in touch on a couple of those here in just a minute maid suspicious people. So fortunately last night though we did get a welfare of for a 63 yearold woman who was last spoken to on monday sir friend last talked to her monday evening and her for a couple days and so she called us and we went out to her home and felt them and unfortunately found her deceased. We believe its Natural Causes at this point which which caused her death. There is no signs of foul play no signs of forced entry anything like that which would give us any suspicion that anybody did anything to her are caused her death but nonetheless, really kind of a sad as far as thats concerned and then. Secondly a welfare check for someone who potentially had a so they this person evacuated from the area. In Boulder Creek they had been in a theyve done what we asked them to do they left the area. And were staying with a friend up up until monday and they left sometime monday evening. Their friend called us during the night last night to say they hadnt heard from him because there is a conversation is this person wanted to go back try to sneak back into the evacuated area to their home and so right now were actively looking for that person to find out kind of where they are and make sure that theyre ok. You know i just a couple things one is that we want to get you back home we really but there are dangers to sneaking back into the evacuated area. That i mean if you just you just dont know i mean you might not know the terrain. You might not know the area you could get lost and then you know we want to we want to help you, but what it what it does is it it divides our resources in the sense that you know where were going to see you know were going to send people to tough to find you and this case thats exactly were going to do and thats ok too we want to make sure this person is ok. I just want to discourage people from from from doing that you know so it doesnt divider resources. But nonetheless if we find this i will definitely let you know and thats what were doing right now. On another piece of that is is again if you see if you if you havent heard from a friend and thats how these 2 calls came in i would encourage you if you havent heard from someone. Then you think that they remained in the evacuated area or potentially were returning please give us a call at our dispatch number thats a 3, 1, 4, 7, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 8, 3, 1, 4, 7, 1, 1, 1, to one give us a call and well do exactly what we did last night you know we do security checks on homes to make sure nobodys rob breaking in. But at the same time we want to make sure that people are safe and accounted for and so if you havent heard from a friend definitely give us a call. And then lastly just a touch the the website that you heard chief cox mention, and i mentioned it last night. You know we we can completely understand you want to know kind of the status of your house, especially if you think its in adana fire damage area. And so just want to reiterate that web site again thats Santa Cruz County. Ford slash fire recovery. Ford slash Damage Assessment map. Weve got asp x that Santa Cruz County fort slash fire recovery. Slash Damage Assessment map dot aspx and give you some information put your address in there. Well tell you whether or not your house has been damaged its ok. Were or hopefully destroyed thank you.

We also want to say how grateful we are for all the support that were seeing from the Community Whether its online messages or a couple restaurants have donated including alices restaurant up on skyline and 84.

Speaking next on behalf of all of the agencies and unified commanders calFire Incident Management Team 3 i see billy c. A good morning. Was we had Great Success on the line. We are clean air able to fly or aircraft, a free tour able to get in there and develop some firmer control room this. There was a lot of. There was a lot of a smoke production in the air that was very visible. Well from highway 17 corridor. When we get cleaner and its visible the a fire is just slowly moving down of the slope. In a barn around the structures above felt member moment. Its very visible from this area. Obviously we have a lot of our fighting forces on the ground and you heard the Operational Plan were going to be doing later this afternoon its a burning operations to control that fire on our terms were going to be working diligently to secure that warren over the next 24 to 48 hours and bring that down very safely and slowly into what were going to consider her control protecting these communities walkabout off with that said obviously when the smoke starts to clear all the residents do very restless about trying to get back in and want to know when the evacuation orders and warnings will be lifted. Were going to be working with their counterparts in the Law Enforcement agencies. To develop a Strategic Plan to start bringing folks in weve all right started to identify that we could potentially start looking at lifting some evacuation orders and moved to evacuation warnings. So please be patient. Its a process were going to work through it. Well obviously our biggest concern when we start bringing folks back in and lifting some of the orders is making sure that we build a good Strong Foundation for all those residents meaning that we have good roadways for them to travel on. We have secured all the utilities and make sure its safe and make sure we have water for them so they have this central necessities to live with. So thats the pieces that were going to continue to work on identifying those fixing any issues and get these folks back to a sense of normalcy as soon as possible. Thank you.
