Rosa. How the fire started still unclear, we know that it obviously broke out during red flag warning conditions on sunday now raging out of control yeah and so its grown now to more than 65 square miles. Part of that fire zone is the city of calistoga theyre concerned about it. It hasnt burned and they dont want it to and with the way the fire can and the wind can travel the entire town was evacuated yesterday for good reason crawfords will trend of fact choosing an example now of homes that are getting pretty close to the fires will. You can i get any closer than this home and ill quickly show to just a few moments, but you can see the fire burning right behind me this is a hillside that was intentionally set by the firefighters they came out here they take advantage of the overnight conditions. High humidity. No when they walked from the top of the hill down set it on fire they had their fire trucks ready to go just in case it got out of hand so they can pounce on it with their water hoses but they never needed to do that because it just burned itself out with the humidity levels high that they knew it would burn itself out that it would not keep going and going and going look at how close the houses now that the sun is up i can make out like on the side of it you can see a slightly charred a little bit so you can see just how hot the conditions are at this particular time. But the home has been say thats one of the 8500 homes that you mention that are threatened at least for now nothing is over, but they said for now this home is saved they are going to another place thing same thing before the conditions. Change once the sun gets higher and higher humidity level gets lower and lower and possibly the winds will pick up as well which is why they are actually taking the fight to the fire at this time intentionally setting it on fire trees are falling down which is wise. This hits a Risky Business for them. They dont want to have anything fall on top of them as well so right now theyre just monitoring the situation from afar if they have to come in and use their acts and shovels to clear it out just a little bit. They will do that. This smoke here no matter if its intentional or not you can clearly see it is contributing to the smoky conditions. Breathing is not so good at this particular time. But it is not windy. The trees now you can make out finally guys james and area little bit of swaying back and forth from the leaves and thats what they were talking about that the conditions would change despite is obviously off far from over but they hope. Now that the sun is up they can reassess the situation and possibly air drops will be one of the tools that they will be used to save the property that throughout this whole area. Its just awful to look at me. Its one thing to see it on television its another to see it in person to watch just that. Firefighters crisscrossing this area and james and darya yeah to watch it from there and be careful thanks a lot. Well. Least some good news on that front for that particular house looks like firefighters are able to at least protected keep it from burning, but that hasnt been the case as weve seen in other parts of the north bay this morning, Sonoma County has suffered damage. Kron 4 Sarah Stinson is on stone bridge road in santa rosa with the latest there sarah. Yeah, we know at least 28 homes just in Sonoma County have burned and been destroyed that they so far what theyve counted live here again in the Oakmont Senior Living community where only a handful of houses have burned to the ground this being one of them was actually here earlier here on stone ridge. Road and this one of those homes that did not make it. But its just crazy to see because right next door, the house is fully standing untouched and then next door as well you can see this whole. Home and all of its grass around it has been charred and you can down the street here just what im talking about now that its just a lot lighter outside, its so smoky here and you can see that. Look at all these homes very dense neighborhood 5,000 homes in here and again only a handful. Had burned i actually drove down the road and looked at the Recreation Center and the golf course can confirm those have been untouched as well its a huge area for seniors and 4. This is an adult Living Community in its really thriving area. They have a ton of areas where you can hang out and enjoy and fortunately firefighters were able to save it. When the fire was encroaching on its sunday night and thousands of people evacuated it was deja vu for a lot of these people who experienced the tubbs fire in 2017. Take a look at this video though this morning. There was a fire that erupted at a house off of highway 12 its literally right next to the oakmont. Senior Living Community and so is major concern that fire would spark the bigger fire and then burned down more homes. So our Santa Rosa Fire Department over their men and women of the department and they were responding so quickly and put it out and that was of relief because as i said could have been even more devastating that home there burned down. Well definitely has heavy heavy damage which probably ends in it being a total loss but. So much water damage but. They were able to save the surrounding homes and theyre able to stop it from spreading into this neighborhood again which has thousands of homes, i know a lot of people nc to come back because im showing you all the houses that have been untouched m. The thing is ive already seen them put out hot spots. Right in this neighborhood and a lot of close calls here. So if they dont keep an eye on that and keep everybody out then they wont be doing their job and now in terms of these homes and you know policing ive seen a lot of patrolling here as well so if you do live in this area. Rest assured they are watching the area that come up to me several times asking who i am and theyre making sure that theyre safe and that the lockdown area here and this evacuation zone is contained to only police and fire and media so thats really good news on that front as well, reporting live in santa rosa Sarah Stinson kron 4. Thats why you got to have the jacket the mike everything for for for so that youre not mistaken. And by the way perfect example like how you said it expected. Hot spot, you know that if one ember flies and hits that home thats how easy it can happen thats why theyre not going to let anybody else into another neighborhood because that could happen easily anywhere. Exactly and they dont want to have to worry about really evacuating it can be just very dangerous star as weve seen it happens all too quickly and while the wind is calm right now. You never know if its going to pick up again what kind of conditions are going to. Face in the coming days all right, thanks a lot sarah. Well as those winds change and the direction of the fire moves we will occasionally have to update the evacuation zones and warnings that are in effect both napa and Sonoma County thats a whole another side of the story that were following for you as well Robin Winston has the latest on that and weve definitely seen those warnings turn into orders. Thats why we stay on top of it and actually show you map some neighborhoods and exactly whos impacted. So lets take a look at the map that we have 4 youre actually start off in Sonoma County. And this is the map and zoom out so you can see the whole scope of the area all the acreage thats covered here with in Sonoma County this is a wide view of the area thats being impacted you see all those little dots those are the hot spots, the heat signature. For the fire thats burning now the red and orange area, those areas are under mandatory Evacuation Orders which means everyone in the areas highlighted should be out of those neighborhoods now the yellow represents the evacuation warnings owns a warning means you are on alert. You are aware that its getting closer to you you need to be ready to go have all of those essentials with you next to the door, your medication, your emergency paperwork. Everything that you need for your pets should be already packed so that if that warning but for any reason is upgraded you can be packed and ready to go so we have 3 put specific zones that we want to zoom in on because these are this is the new information that were receiving into our newsroom you see the area thats highlighted in yellow within that area we have 3 different zones, his own one. This is for those of you with in the neighborhood that south of highway 12 and east of farmers lane so that means if you live out near i spring creek drive your under an evacuation warning now this also includes the lc zone thats number 2 thats our second zone and that is included with areas and neighborhoods that are out near cypress way out near creekside if you near sacramento. Horseshoe bat 3rd strive youre under that evacuation warning and then also zone 3 which is one down there at the bottom that area includes the neighbors that are south of to call the drive east a bit bally road and im naming the streets because i know its a little hard to see on the map thats why im just going through and naming some of the streets for you that are in the neighborhood so if youre in zone, 3 youre going to be impacted if you live near that home us near warrick or near battered strive all of those areas once again under a special warning. Now if your zone gets upgraded if you go from a warning to a mandatory order keep in mind that you need to calmly and quickly evacuate dont forget to check with your neighbors too because sometimes your neighbors dont know if that order is in place try and spread the word but you will see First Responders going through the neighborhood knocking on doors. Now we want to move over to another county we just covered sonoma, we want to take care of napa county as well we have not received any new changes for napa county so far so its the same as yesterday the areas that are shaded in blue are under a mandatory evacuation areas that are shaded in yellow are under a warning keep in mind that they have evacuated the entire town of calistoga thats under a mandatory Evacuation Order so no one should be left in calistoga right now they have not seen any damage. So thats the good news, but within city limits or snow damage but around the city limits. The surrounding areas have been damaged so fire crews will remain on scene and monitor that area closely if anything changes.

Good morning. Well, cleveland is really used to being taking center stage during a president ial election. This debate will look like any that came before. In 2016 President Donald Trump stood on stage in cleveland accepting the republican nomination i humbly. And gratefully accept. Tonight you will once again take a cleveland stage. This time to face democratic challenger joe biden im prepared to. Go out and make my case as to why i think hes failed im looking very forward to the day. For weeks the city of cleveland has been preparing transforming the Cleveland Clinic in Case Western Reserve University into a stage that will be seen by millions making sure that all the systems have been checked and rechecked the city is not only preparing for the 2 men of the hour though, but the crowds and protests that will follow them he morning protest a whats opinion understanding that is not on who the destruction property or the though the debate itself may get heated Ohio Governor mike dewine has enlisted the National Guard to keep tensions from boiling over outside the arena. Every person the interaction we treated with the dignity and coronavirus is one of 6 topics that will be covered but its also a threat that the commission on president ial debates is preparing for their will not be a handshake between the candidates or the moderator at the beginning of the debate once on stage knew that the candidates nor the moderator will be wearing masks. And according to the Associated Press nearly half a Million People have already placed bets on the debate you can bet on anything maybe even will joe biden wear a mask to how many times will President Donald Trump say china and of course you can always bet on whos going to actually win the election. James darya. A fascinating adrian, thank you so much for the update this morning and you can watch the president ial debates right here tonight at on kron 4 that starts at 6 oclock and then afterwards weve got our Election Special yeah inside very politics with Catherine Heenan that will be fascinated to as they dissect what happened in the debate all right, lets bring it back here into the studio at we have the ground shake a little bit. Yeah 3 quakes a little bit what size john yeah, 3 within the past hour guys the latest being a 3. 3 magnitude quake. These are centered right around reservoir. Right along the santa clara. In Alameda County the first one was in early in the 8 oclock hour. The latest one around 9 oh 02 00am again thats the 3rd just within the past hour all 3 of them. All right around 6 miles north east of milpitas system, minor shaking there in the east bay, but this continued little swarm earthquakes, definitely something that is rattling some of our further to the south and east in the bay now for the rest of the bay area this is what youre noticing more than anything else this morning we have some fog and some cloud cover that is pushed in from the coast cooling things off noticeably today, weve also got some noticeable hayes overhead this coastal breeze replacing the hot dry winds that had been sunday night through monday morning that unfortunately resulted in the rapid spread of the glass fire in the north bay. We have seen a fire expand additionally overnight, but winds have calmed down substantially and temperatures a little bit cooler today in addition to that so more favorable conditions for the fire fight today which is good news for firefighters and residents of the north bay well continue to see some fog this morning burning off somewhat this afternoon but not nears dry conditions even as the fog does burn off worst of air quality is centered in portions of sonoma napa and solano counties, bad air quality as well into contra costa and portions of alameda counties, better conditions towards the coast on the peninsula as well as in the south bay, but dont expect the smoke to be going anywhere anytime soon as conditions calm down and High Pressure builds in well be looking at smoke gradually settling into the rest of the bay area for much of the rest of the forecast todays daytime highs 80s and 90s thats cooler than yesterday was livermore unconquered to over closer spots to the triple digits while napa and santa rosa fall to the low 90s after yesterdays over 100 degree highs tomorrow temperatures will bump up just a couple of degrees after that though we begin to cool down that will eventually take us into the 80s at or warmest by the weekend. So there is relief in sight and at least better conditions concerning fires. Ive got more your forecast as well lets hear more about all the latest news. Still ahead. Its been dry in the north bay and thats why we have the fires in the fire danger star
