and napa counties. this morning firefighters are still struggling to contain several major wildfires that are burning homes and businesses. good morning. it is tuesday, october 10th, 5:00 a.m., thanks for joining us this morning. >> we do want to get straight to the latest numbers on these devastating north bay fires burning right now, at least ten people have been confirmed dead. >> officials in sonoma county have received up to 150 missing person reports. >> and a total of more than 80,000 acres have burned, the two largest fires are both in napa county the tubbs fire at 27,000 acres and the atlas fire at 25,000 acres.

there is zero containment of those fires. >> and at least 1,500 buildings have been destroyed. the fires have also forced more than 20,000 people to evacuate. and the window is open right now for the best conditions we are going to have the next, say, two to three days, calm conditions, you can see that as i've overlaid the winds on live doppler 7, but let me show you what you're dealing with up in the north bay, look at all that smoke in the napa valley up towards vacaville and from cloverdale and lake port all the way up through mendocino county, visibility because of the smoke down to a mile and a half at the napa county airport. from the east bay hills, it is still out there, it is a spare the air. i will show you the air conditions coming up next. temperatures, it is cooler this morning, in the upper 40s to mid 50s, we will stay cooler this afternoon, low to mid 60s at the coast, mid 70s around the bay,

upper 70s inland. more on that choking smoke that's out there and how it's going to spread in the next couple of days. alexis. >> we do have one issue on the bay bridge on the lower deck so the lighter side of things eastbound near the center anchorage it's out of view of our traffic camera but we have a two car collision, one of those spun out is facing the wrong way, the far lanes on either side, lane one and five are blocked, emergency crews on the way to the scene not seeing a big backup but just stay in the middle there. we have quite a bit of smoke in the san francisco area once again and this has thickened up significantly in the last 20 to 30 minutes. again, you will want to leave those windows up and be prepared for tough air conditions there this morning and it is a spare the air day today as well. you can use mass transit that is highly recommended. we will talk about mass transit impacts in the north bay from those fires coming up in a few minutes. >> i'm glad you mentioned that because even here in the studio we are smelling it much worse now than we were an hour ago, please be careful at your homes

especially if you have children or seniors around. as for what's happening in the north bay we are still seeing fires flaring up particularly in the santa rosa area this morning. >> we do have crews on the ground monitoring what's going on. amy hollyfield live in santa rosa, you are in an area where at least two hotels are completely destroyed. >> reporter: right, natasha, we have the hilton behind us that is still burning, look at the flames and the smoke coming off of this structure. i just talked to the assistant fire marshal, he says his crews are very tired, they have not been home, they have not gone to bed, but they are expecting today to be another busy day. i mean, look, we're watching another fire burn this morning. we have some video of what it looked like last night just to give you an idea, it's just continuous for these crews, they just go from fire to fire out here in santa rosa. the mandatory evacuation is helping keep the streets closed and give them all the space that they need for all of their fire trucks so they can race from

scene to scene, but they say they still have a lot of hard work ahead of them. in fact, another call just came in moments ago. >> actually as i was walking down to you i heard a report of november structure fire in the area, so we have resources that are here for what we call perimeter control and containment and we also have a number of resources within the city of santa rosa that are continuing to respond to fires that pop up within the boundary of the fire, within the city limits. >> reporter: firefighters say the mandatory evacuation and the curfew in place is giving the streets an eerie feeling. there are no people here. this he know people want to return to their homes, they want to tell them they're doing the best they can to keep the area safe and to maintain it. it's just too dangerous to let them in right now, there's smoke, fire, fire trucks and downed power lines, but they want everyone to know there are many law enforcement officers here in the area watching over it, in fact, he commented he feels like there are as many

police officers as there are firefighters. reporting live in santa rosa, amy hollyfield, abc 7 news. here is the latest information from pg & e. nearly 95,000 customers still don't have power most in sonoma county, more than 50,000 are impacted there. 27,000 in the north bay, the rest of the outages are scattered throughout the north coast and sierra areas. cal fire says 1,500 structures have been lost. we just saw amy by some of the hotels that are gone in santa rosa. the fountaingrove inn, also the hilton sonoma wine country are gone. businesses also destroyed including the kmart on cleveland avenue, applebee's, arby's and the mcdonald's on harper avenue next to highway 101 all gutted. sweet t's restaurant in santa rosa is gone as is a luxury senior living facility the oakmont of villa capris. this next thing is very important because we have all

those fires raging that we saw yesterday, they have continued to grow but we also have flames spreading now toward fairfield. >> evacuations now under way there and that's where we find abc 7 news reporter matt keller. >> reporter: good morning, reggie and natasha. we are in the parking lot of suisan valley k through 8 school. behind me we have suisan valley school and there is an officer blocking that road making sure people don't head up because the fire is burning over those ridges there. i talked to someone in the parking lot and they are concerned the fire will make its way this direction. they are doing structure protection around here. a mandatory evacuation order was issued overnight for the green valley area west of green valley road for mason north to valley and lane and they wanted everyone to evacuate immediately overnight. one of the areas is on twin sisters road, this is surveillance video of firefighters at one woman's home there making sure no one is

inside. she is able to watch these cameras from her cellphone and told us she left with her two-year-old son. >> i had to have the conversation of if we didn't have a home to come to if he was okay with that and i know he's two, but he just looked at me and said, yes, mommy, it's okay. it's going to be okay. >> reporter: and here is solano county an evacuation center is open at solano community college, animals are not available there. a large animal evacuation center at the slon know county fairgrounds in vallejo. the evacuation orders do not include any area within the fairfield city limits, again, the concern is that that fire is still making its way in this direction, that's why they are making sure nobody goes on these roads around here. reporting live in suisan county.

problem, those winds yesterday whipping up those flames, so much more must be done. right now cal fire is saying 5,000 structures are threatened just for this atlas fire in napa and solano counties and 125 structures have already been destroyed. damage assessment teams are surveying the fire in an i a tempt to confirm how many homes have been damaged or destroyed. a lot of people just waiting, praying their homes will be there when they return but the reality is this is not over, the fire is still moving and homes are in its way. now, the evacuation order that came overnight we want to be clear does not include any areas within the fairfield city limits. reporting live in suisan valley, matt keller. neighborhoods around the north bay went up in flames in just minutes and there were areas that you thought were going to be spared that just completely are destroyed now. abc 7 news reporter laura anthony was in the silverado crest neighborhood in napa county earlier. around 1:10 yesterday morning this home at al at that mesa and stone mountain circles caught on

fire. within the hour the home was engulfed. and the home kept burning past 2:00 in the afternoon. other homes in that neighborhood were spared at that time. >> and this is the house that we were watching yesterday go up in flames even though firefighters were standing right there because they didn't have a working hydrant so they had to pick what was going to be protected so they would pick the house that was next to the one burning because they knew they could potentially save it while the other fire just had to burn out. >> they had to be really careful with what water they were going to use and water has been also an issue for some areas, city of santa rosa has actually issued a boil water notice for the fountaingrove area, residents with no or low water pressure need to boil their water before drinking it just to make sure that water is safe. napa county has confirmed that the atlas fire destroyed the hillcrest city water pump station and the napa valley register is reporting losing that particular pumping station and the water supply from it could have a major affect on

firefighters' ability to fight those flames in the silverado highlands neighborhood area which is what you were talking about, reggie, it's particularly that area where they really have had difficulty with water. >> right. and there are probably not so many people home at this point right now, but if they did shelter in place they will want to heed that warning. many schools will be closed for a second day today, some districts are having trouble notifying parents because of power and phone and internet issues. almost all of the 40 school districts in sonoma county are going to stay closed except for horicon, fort ross and montgomery. now, sonoma state university officials say their campus is actually safe but they are going to keep classes off today as a precaution. napa valley unified school district schools are going to remain closed, all schools in calistoga closed. you can get the full list on our website, abc7news.com. gas stations also running low as people have been leaving for evacuation centers trying to

get away from the fires and this is video from healdsburg where two gas stations sold out of gas yesterday, they had handwritten notes on the pumps saying no gas, we're out. there was also this gas station we saw that had a huge line of cars so be prepared if you are driving about the north bay area today, gas is definitely a shortage. >> and hospitals in santa rosa asking people who don't have a medical manual to go to urgent care instead of the er. >> they want to prioritize burn patients, also people with bad respiratory issues and just take a look at the dedication of our healthcare workers, some scary moments certainly, we showed this to you yesterday morning, the flames were right near the edge of the kaiser permanente in santa rosa, you can see the people running there, many with masks on, literally wheeling ivs next to patients to get them out of that area. here is what another local hospital is telling the people impacted by the fire. >> we know many people have lost their homes and so we have

shelters set up for them so they can rest here. either come back to work or go to see what is going on with the places where they live. >> memorial hospital is asking medical personnel who may want to volunteer to call into their labor pool line, if you have a specialty they need they may ask for help for those services. congressman mike thompson of st. helena says california has requested a federal disaster declaration for lake, napa and sonoma counties. he says that he is in communication with fema and the white house urging a swift approval of that particular request, washington already providing money for the firefighting effort and of course we need all the help that we can get because this is day two and things are just at the beginning, we have 0% containment on a lot of those fires. >> right. let's go over to meteorologist mike nicco. wind gusts make all the difference. what are we dealing with temperature wise and winds today. >> the winds are great, they're calm right now, that helps the

firefighters, not so great if you live in the north bay because the poorest air quality we have seen in ten years is repeating itself again this morning. temperatures are down, humidity is up, the winds are calm, the firefighting conditions don't get any better than what we have right now, so fingers crossed and thoughts and prayers that they will get a little bit of a handle on these zero contained fires. in san francisco i was going to ask you this guys this, who lives in san francisco and you don't have air conditioning look at some of these temperatures, you usually sleep with the windows open, 60 in crissy field, marina, bayview, 62 in the financial, 61 the ferry building, keep the windows closed, maybe a little warmer in the house than you would like it to be because of that. 55 in sunny side right now. 57 richmond, san leandro and 57 richmond, san leandro and belmon american canyon. calm conditions just about for all of us. here is a look at san rafael

looking south on 101, air quality it's the most unhealthy up in the north bay right now, the rest of us are moderate, believe it or not. here is a look at the richmond san rafael bridge, you can just see the smoke hanging in the lights right there. today spare the air day, this is not my forecast because if i was forecasting i would put us tomorrow in a spare the air also because those fires are not going away neither is the smoke. i think it's going to get worse tonight as the winds pick up and another push of dry breezes pushes through, i will have more on the timing for that coming up next. i have the latest on our road closures this morning. of course, yesterday at this time we had a full closure of 101 in santa rosa, state route 37 was closed for basically the entire stretch between 101 and 80. those are both open this morning, but we do still have some ramps from 101 in santa rosa that are closed and we've been hearing live from amy hollyfield who is on the scene there very heavy police presence there making sure no one is coming in and looting, they are making sure everyone is being

safe and staying out of the area, but we know for sure the northbound 101 off ramp to mendocino is closed, sounds like the hopper road on and off ramps from 101 are closed as well. eastbound sonoma highway at melita road, a new closure off to the east there of santa rosa as of about 30 to 45 minutes ago and then as we zoom out you can see several more closures up state route 12. basically that is closed between sonoma and santa rosa. i would not attempt to use that if you don't have to. state route 128 also closed between scott road and chalk hill road just to the west of calistoga and all of those have no estimate on reopening. a quick check of the bay bridge toll plaza those metering lights on, since about 5:30. things filling in, you can see the smoke lingering around there as well. our continuing cover

(dog panting) another 2am stroll, huh? i'm worried. i have this medical bill. dave, you have anthem, and they have people to talk to who are empowered to help answer any question you... (dog grunting, panting) is... is he okay? real people? living and breathing. hopefully not breathing like that. for all the things that keep you up at night, anthem blue cross has a solution.

abc 7 mornings. >> all news. >> all morning. >> it's 5:47 and here is the latest from the deadly wine country fires. sonoma county officials say there have been up to 150 missing person reports and they will work this morning to try and find those people. so far 10 people have been killed in sonoma, napa and mendocino counties. emergency officials expect that number to rise. >>? santa rosa there is a curfew to keep people off the streets until 7:15 this morning that is in an effort to prevent looting. >> dozens of homes were

destroyed near the silverado trail in napa. >> abc 7 news anchor dion lim is trying to get inside of that area, she is facing a road block right now and joins us live. good morning, dion. >> reporter: natasha, good morning to you. and no luck as of yet accessing that road. we are just about two miles away from that silverado country club, one of the hardest hit areas in the heart of wine country. there is highway patrol and a barricade in the middle of the street. as we approach the 6:00 hour we are starting to see pg&e crews starting to in and also some residents start to trickle in. despite the warning of those downed power lines and those low hanging power lines. they still want to access their homes. i can tell you in the monticello park neighborhood there are still hot spots and mold ring, we are getting those reports and that is certainly a concern and as of last night when we were able to access the area, we were told because of the magnitude, because of the tremendous police

presence and emergency response, crews had to pick and choose. so they decided rather on picking those hot spots and attending to the smoldering, they chose to focus on protecting the homes that are still standing. i did speak with one man who decided to go past the barricades this morning right behind me and check out his home. i said, can you go live with us and talk to us about what you know and he said, i know nothing. i'm just trying to check out and see what's left. we're going to try and access this area as soon as day break hits but for now we are live in napa, dion lim, abc 7 news. thank you. we are hoping she gets in there so we have a better look at what happened there today because yesterday we were watching that all day long, the silverado country club, abc 7 news reporter laura anthony did make it inside and we want to show you what she saw as she was walking through that devastation. >> reporter: i'm laura anthony in napa in the silverado country club and resort neighborhood where the sun is setting on a

day of utter devastation. >> i came down through hillcrest and i believe it was the 2,000 block and homes were burning, still one after the other. there is no air support, there is no helicopters. >> while the fire is sporadic, it's all over, we are trying to get air resource to help us get a better idea of where all the fire is heading, where is it going. the primary responsibility through the night is getting people out of here. >> it's a great neighborhood, great neighbors. but it's tough. these people are losing their homes. >> i tried to knock on as much doors as i could. i knocked on yula's door which now it's no longer a house.

i just -- not -- i just -- the words can't describe what -- i don't even know how i'm going to even live here. >> the water is off and i've got two buckets and i'm just trying to go around and douse any live flames i see. >> yeah, i think the worst part is you drive around here and you know some of the people and you know this is, you know, their life's belongings and they didn't have time to get it out. it's just really sad situation. >> it's been a day that's been very difficult but one where these neighbors have learned how much they care for one another. in napa, laura anthony, abc 7 news. yeah, it was really difficult and one thing that really sticks out when we were checking in with laura throughout the day yesterday was that these people also felt a really big sense of frustration because they weren't getting help from the air and this was a particular neighborhood where we saw so many hot spots flare up, even hours after those flames were coming from the hillside, i

mean, this was just kind of cropping up one by one. >> especially because neighbors knew that their bodies of water at that country club, that there is water available to be picked up and dropped on these flames, the resources just spread too thin to be able to do that. >> mike, a lot of people are going to be waking up this morning to a smokier smell in their homes. >> especially up in the north bay where the air is just brutal once again, down in the south bay we have the cleanest air as you can see from our tower cam at san jose, 280 at 17, lower fire danger, okay, at 5:00 this morning the red flag warning expir expired, but the spare the air continues. here is my biggest concern, breezy again the next two nights. fires that aren't contained are going to get fanned again the next two nights. seasonal and very dry air through the weekend. temperatures today 66 to 71, coast into san francisco, about 74 to 77 around the bay and about 76 in san rafael to 83 in

antioch inland. here is a look at the golden gate bridge. i put poor on everything because you have to be outside to do it and if you're going to do exercise try to do it in short spurts and don't do anything too vigorous that will take a lot of oxygen or deep breathing. i know that sound oxymoronish, but don't make it too vigorous. tonight 45 to 51 but the breezes will be the big issue and the drier air they bring in, not only tonight but tomorrow nice and low humidity, temperatures in the 60s and 70s with lows in the 40s and 50s. really concerned about the next two nights. right now conditions very good and conducive for fighting those fires. how are you holding up? >> i'm okay. i mean, you know, the air, it's nasty, pretty much everywhere. so, yeah, it's not great for anybody out there today and, yeah, hopefully it's not too miserable where you are at the moment. want to take you live to the richmond side of the richmond san rafael bridge, westbound 580, we've got -- excuse me, of

course, i just said i'm okay and now i'm choking over here -- we have a two car collision right at the tacony-palmy at the toll plaza. we haven't gotten word on injuries yet, a couple fire trucks, the tow truck and ambulance and all of these vehicles are shifting over to the right-hand side, that is another area where we have just a lot of smoke there this morning. leave those windows up, trust me, on your vehicle today. also golden gate bus service there will not be service from piner road today, this is due to piner road today, this is due to the wildfires up north.

let's talk about those wind gusts up in the hills.

look at how much calmer they are, only 5 in knoxville creek, one of those areas that reached nearly 70 sunday night, 6 was peek and mount damn he will >> not quite as fast around napa and sonoma, but still in the 10 to 20 mile per hour range starting at 7:00 tonight. alexis. >> i want to take you back to the richmond side of the richmond san rafael bridge. you can see the large emergency response. a two week vision right in the area beyond the view of our camera. it does look like everyone shifting over to the right-hand side to get around it. heavy out of the central valley tracy to dublin just under an hour. southbound 680 dublin looks g
