Just ripped through here behind me is one of those homes that was impacted by the flames you can see whats left is just the rubble and you know madgen coming home to this no home at all and just having to deal in rebuild from this is just so traumatic, its something you know the north bay has been through and now they have to go through it again because of the ellen new lightning complex over a 1000 structures, including homes like this one have been destroyed all across the law known at a lake in sonoma counties. This area and many others are still under a mandatory Evacuation Order however officials have started lifting and let that order just for the day to let families visit their properties to assess the damage all the while cal fire has gained containment, its now up to 35 contained as robin said earlier, but its grown to just under 370,000 acres now we caught up with a family who is having to deal with rebuilding it theyre going to have to do it at some but a woman told us exactly what happened she said she only had minutes to grab as much as she could. So she could get out safely. All he had was my little to door infiniti and i had 2 german shepherds and 2 cats to get in there so i literally got like 2 boxes of momentos in my my when file thats as Important Documents and Everything Else was lost or all of our memories. All of our pictures on the walls and everything is gone. Gosh, i cant even imagine how that feels but at least she got out safely. Your life is the most important thing now cal fire theyre continuing to put out hot spots. Holden enforced fire lines all to protect nearby communities and the 30,000 structures that are still threatened by the fires burning this complex includes hennessy fire in napa and solano counties fire. Which takes up about 84 just ahead the fire takes up 84 of the total acres, the walbridge fire is also burning primarily in Sonoma County it has been deadly as we know and its injured 4 people but most of the people got out to safety now theres have been deal with the aftermath now today, hopefully we can catch up with cal fire suit. Their plan of attack is see if they and. Expect weather events to occur but for now, im live in vacaville Sarah Stinson back to you. All right sara thanks a lot for that live report problem. Well in sonoma, not everyone is allowed back home. Theyre still plenty of hausers out there on the roadways. This is what it looks like a driving along mill creek road near hillsborough checking out homes have been destroyed has roots are just everywhere utility lines are down and burned trees have fallen or theyre ready to come down. Pg e crews have moved damaged equipment off the roadways and inspectors are out there as well checking out those charge trees. Pre inspectors are basically looking at the spire damage trees that are adjacent to pg e facilities to determine if they need to be removed. Or trim theres a lot of damage to this area. There was structures are impacting this area and a lot of the infrastructure was destroyed in this area. And some hazardous trees have already been taken down and cut up, but a lot more will need to be done before its actually safe to allow those residents to return home. And fire officials in Santa Cruz County giving an update on the czu fire, lets go ahead listen in 540 acres and containment has increased to 26 to 6 containment. There are still 13,300 structures that are threatened by the fire. And we can confirm this morning that 799 structures have been destroyed of those 799 11 of them are in San Mateo County and 788 are in Santa Cruz County. Within the 554 of the total number are confirmed to be Single Family residence. We do have over 2000 firefighters that remain on scene and that number continues every day. We stand right now at 2019 firefighters assigned to the incident without a pass it over the team for an Operational Update from i am to 3 Operations Section chief mark from. Good morning. So yesterday we had a really good productive day a couple minor setbacks last night nothing of super winds are holding. The weather helping mitigate. And we believe that well be moving forward some really good work today with her plans for the day. Up on top of the fire the north zone fires holding really well in division of gulf and killer was able to a flight late yesterday afternoon get a good look at the entire fire. Up in the town of colonie a lot of challenges up there. A lot of the fire we countries are beginning to fall had a structure destroyed. Yesterday from a falling tree. That was far weekend and theres a lot of fire we countries and there were in there assessing that developing a strategy on how were going to address that issue. This throughout the fire but but we have a significant amount in that particular area that were concerned with fire was was very active in that area burning down to our control lines which is by design what we want to do with the that we had yesterday thats where the big push was. But it did what it did to move a little bit more rapidly than weve been seeing at the past few days thats fine. I just brings it down to the control and sooner we have resources there are ready to deal with that issue so yesterday they were doing with that today its going another a big day of of dealing with that before we have a wind shift which will push that that advancing of fire front. Moving down the coast again were getting more lines put in all the way down to the community of of davenport. The weve got feel that so thats quite safe of some good lines around that we do have fire established in citizen to canyon. Just a bit south of that area. Thats something that is a target that is a priority for us today, were going to be putting a lot of resources in there weve had some limited resources in there. Its a very steep canyon, a lot of vegetation in there. We have some challenges to be able to get aircraft in there because there are power lines that run through there and the aircraft or power lines still we really cant fly a lot in there. So the Ground Troops are going to have to really good dig deep get in there and take your business and were going to be a hammer that pretty darned hard today. Along the south where control and are holding we to mop up phase there. There is some smokes a popup that their deep interior and some of the drainage is that we just really have a hard time accessing and theyre just going to work or stretching that those burn out. Burn up to our control lines in a good or a focus on him and to engage when it is safe and appropriate to do so moving up the the 9 corridor. Felton commute fields looking really good with a burnout operation a couple days ago doing very well. The last bits of it were running out to some of the smoke thats visible from the Scotts Valley area. A lot of that thats thats what theyre looking at in in peace and parties that and then also like i mentioned before some of the deeper drainages thats where the smoke there scene is probably coming from from that community so we feel a lot better about the protection of the community and moving forward there. Towards been brookdale we end up little setback yesterday were about a 30 acre whats called slop over its a its a move to fire thats across the line and a lot of that was due to the fact that again the there hasnt been fire history here for such a long time. The matter thats on the uk matter thats on the 4th floor. Is very thick. We called a failure that term its very thick material and we put our control lines in we scraped those lines down to bare metal soiled or bare soil that that will burn and when youre dealing with a this kind of environment you really have to have those lines dug very deep toasted becomes a trench at some points because so thick and we have to be very cognizant and very detail oriented on that because. Sometimes in this case is what we believe happened is that fire was able to creep slowly within that and then pop up on the other side of our lives so again. Its that has been a challenge because the topography and the fuels in it with all the homes here is yet another challenge for us. In werent constructed airlines is this this take a matter thats on the 4 that we have to cut through. So that we dont have another one of those who we have we with more people there increasing or patrol those lines. So that we can detect that even sooner. But that doesnt foresee something that were just going to be dealing with the and throughout the rest of this event. The rest of the airline is continue to be put in play. Through the wrist. The north part of the fire all the way up the north of boulder creek. In tying into division the queue up there. The bonny doon area continue a lot of work to be done a lot of work has been done a lot of homes in their working around a lot of those homes its a lot of just tedious work. Been lot of question about the the National Guard and the National Guard that weve got them here a couple days ago. So we are plan is were going to be employing them in that area and its because of the sheer numbers that theyre bringing. This is actually a really good mission for them because again their training is of a basic standard. And thats great because that frees up are more advanced to hand crews to attack the other areas like we said the incident sent a canyon and then also up in some of these lines here. And well put them to work within the can do the job they do best in what we call greeting in making sure we go. Through a very thorough process to that community and make sure everythings mopped up we have good line around were the homes and that sort of thing in the opener that safe. Again a road crews are clearing the roadways. So that our inspectors can get into the more inspections. The Utility Companies can get in to do their work to the destruction of those communities. And how would you 36 quarter a lot of work being done been done there are a lot of work to be done its its a its a mess lot of down trees and with the power lines and poles and so forth so thats thats a number of days worth of work just to that that opened up there and theyre working really hard working with caltrans and and other resources to open that up. Our we do still have the 6 waterdropping aircraft we anticipate that in the coming days we should see a few more of those coming in thats going to be a big help to us. A Mother Nature is she cooperate we can get more flight time past few days weve had a thick green there. It has burned off to late. Our aircraft is an issue before cannot work in this type of conditions safely. So weve had to wait until that clears up as soon as it clears up on any part of the fire were flying those missions and those crews are doing a fantastic job when theyre up to fly when i was doing my reconnaissance flight yesterday. All aircraft are up and then go in and they were they were hammered. There just to us turn constantly getting to their deep source getting their water bringing it back dumping on on the targets. So as soon as we get more clear were going to max out the hours we can on the aircraft were going to be dumping hundreds of 1000 gallons on that to support the mission inn in the mission of the in the helping the crews on the ground. Too. Get another day closer to completing this mission, thank you. Up next from the Santa Cruz CountySheriffs Office is chief deputy chris clark.
