one is seven to ten achers and seems to be not contained but it's in the an area where they're not as concerned about it escaping as they were an hour or two ago. they're keeping it to a minimum of ten acres currently. as long as the winds don't pick up and become a hazard in itself, they should be able to have something under control here in the next couple hours. we're hoping. there's an additional fire that started about a mile or so down the road. it's about two acres and that's one of the fires that -- one of the reasons they decided to do the evacuation in the rivera west community. there's only one way out of that community. that's obviously a concern we have anytime there's a fire such as this in this area. >> we're showing live pictures from sky 7 and you can see a lot of smoke coming from the hillside. there are also a number of homes
4:01 pm
in that area. how many structures are in danger at this point? >> the area evacuated is around 650 homes. there are other communities along that corridor about 12,000 residents live in that area. that particular association has about 650 homes and the one to the northwest of it is about the same number of it residents there. they're concerned about any of those residents and communities that are uphill from that area. it's very steep and so if you, as you can see, many of those homes it's so steep one home can look over the top of the home in front of it and could be able to see the lake so they all have a lake view. very steep terrain. areas that are not developed, the last fire through that mountain that was in 1961 i believe and so just decades and decades an of fuel loading since then and there's tremendous potential for fire in that area.
4:02 pm
it's the highest risk in our county. it has been for many years even before the past fires we've been experienced. this is identified as one of the highest risks. >> for the viewers at home watch our live look right now there was a plane that came through and dropped retardant. you've been working on an event just for this purpose to try to clear out some of the vulnerable areas so that a fire like this wouldn't be devastating. >> correct. we've been working on this for the past few weeks. i have an event planned called 1,000 hands where we're trying to get 500 people that want to come along. we're closing off the road for 60s moles, closing off the southbound lane to allow people to park and work in there in order to clean all the vegetation and hazardous -- >> it sounds like we just lost rob there. we'll keep you posted on this
4:03 pm
situation. obviously, they're doing everything they can to keep it under control and make sure none of the homes are threatened. but there are 650 houses and they are doing evacuations. we'll be following this all afternoon long. with that, we say thanks for join us. i'm larry beil. >> i'm ama daetz. >> spencer has a look at the weather conditions going on there right now. >> i'm going to take you down to kelseyville near the fires. these readings are from kelseyville, not the exact locations of the fire. conditions should be close. 81 degree right now. it's not hot there. it is quite dry, relative humidity only 28%. it's breezy. the steady wind is out of the west-northwest at 14 miles per hour with gusts to 23 miles per hour. of course, even if the steady wind remains unchanged or decreases, the gusts from time to time could be strong enough to make it difficult for the firefighters to contain the fire. at the moment, again, not hot but it is dry. it is windy and gusty.
