multiple structures are gone. the exact number jus unknown at this point. >> more than 2,000 evacuated. etting amoment's notice in the middle of the night. >> they were going door to door, house to house, they were really, get out now, grab your keys and dogs and go. >> no time to waste. we have reporter s everywhere. >> we have wayne freedman. wayne. >> reporter: good afternoon. it's been quite a day. each in places where they did prevent damage, there is still plenty to see. this is the river rock casino parking lot. up there you can see the black space. that's how close the flames came to facilities inside this building. if you look down in the valley over here, this is where the battle's going on right now, an

effort to keep these flames from crossing the road. that's the alexander valley below us. this is affecting everybody who lives in sonoma. when they tell you the fire is bearing down and you have to leave your home, it's too close. they were handing out protection masks like halloween candy, and we're still in the north gnat zone. a few miles east, no questions about what might have been. new hot spots lit up in the distance. these are backfires near the river rock casino where flames burned. here's chief matt epstein who knows too much about fires around here to dismiss more trouble. >> while the weather's in our favor and the winds are blowing

the right way we want to, we're preparing for the wind to shift again. >> reporter: that wind shift he's talking about seems to have begun. if you look at that smoke, it's now blowing in our direction. earlier when we did that interview, it was heading in the opposite direction. this skirmish here has been going on for about an hour. we saw multiple helicopter drops about 15 minutes ago. i put one of those drops on our twitter feed. really amazing how low they go, how much they drop, and how much of an effect they have. but this is an ongoing and developing situation. it's not over yet. wayne freedman, abc 7. >> that's certainly a sight to see on his feed. you said it's a double whammy. not only did businesses have their power shut off, but they had to evacuate. what's the general sense of the people on the ground? >> reporter: they're frustrated,

of course. it's bad enough thinking the power was shut off to prevent a fire and then you ask where did the fire start? did it start where electricity was turned off? either way, it's going to be very interesting. did the fire start from the electric line despite the fact they deelectrified or for another reason? we still don't know. i do know this. after the fires we had two years ago and the shutdown we had last we're, they're about done with us, and it seems we're only beginning. >> thank you very much. abc 7's laura anthony is in geyserville. >> reporter: we're on pine flat road. let's show you where we are. to my right down the hill here, it's really about 14 miles to heeldsberg. you can see smoky areas, where

the flames have every moved through. to the north it's geyserville that's 15 miles that way. so this fire fight has moved a long way from those communities. if you look at this hillside behind me, we can push in a little bit. this has been much of the focus behind me of the firefighters. you can see the fire retardant, the red line they've drawn. if you see the flames beyond me, that's what they're trying to hit. they're trying to keep this fire on that side of the line. >> the fire is near the area of the thermal plant in the community of guy sersville. >> do you know whether the plant had anything do with the start of the fire? >> we do not know. >> what does that plant do? >> it's one of the largest

thermal generating plants. >> what are the challenges going forward? >> overnight it was fueled by 60-mile-an-hour winds and low humidity and high temperatures. that coupled with the dry fuls we already experienced made it very tough. so firefighters had a tough time finding the perimeter of the fire let alone working on the perimeter of the fire. going forward, we expect the same dry conditions, a little less wind. however, we're expecting more winds coming up this weekend. >> what's the goal of the next two days before the winds kick up again? >> it's imperative we get around it as quick as we can so we're prepared for the winds. >> this is really go time for you guys, right? this is the time we were all concerned about. >> it is. we've been lucky this year. we were hoping to not have this happen, but we're back where we are. it's what we do, and we are prepared for it. it's going take a little more work than we hoped for. >> we're back live here on pine

flat road. we're showing you all that reddish pink retardant. that's really how this fire is being fought today. we have seen hardly any hand crews, hardly any firefighters on the ground because this terrain behind me, dan and dion, is just too rugged. so they can really only fight it from the air. if there's any good news as you can see hopefully, it's not windy at all. as you heard the incident commander say, he wants to make sure they can get a line around this fire before we expect those high winds again this coming weekend. one other note, the official number is 10,000 acres, i'm sorry, of fire damage so far. they warned us at the press conference this morning that that number will likely go up much higher once they get a good view, an aerial view of all the fire damage out here. live in sonoma county, laura anthony, abc7 news. >> a shred of good light seeing

you in those conditions where the winds have died down for at least the time being. thank you. >> you see the rugged terrain, which is making it so difficult. let's go live liz. >> reporter: across the street is where they can take their animals. they can go with their small pets and evacuate. we're in the part of the fairgrounds where cal fire is setting up a base camp. they did this two years ago during the 2017 fires. the sheriff's here, crews staging, they expect they'll be pretty much operational by tomorrow. i want to get anupdate with paul rosenthal.

>> we expect the fire toivt go up. the challenge has been getting accurate mapping. the winds we had last night pushed the fire. it made for poor air quality. we do anticipate the acreage will go up. the containment has been at zero. >> the's been a little discrepancy about how many homes have been burned. >> we have reports that structures have been destroyed. the damage assessment will identify whether they're homes or outbuildings. it's not uncommon for people to know homes are destroyed and see them. it takes time to figure out if they are a home. we'll get that information released. >> any sense on the fire? >> there could be a potential for more evacuations. that's why we're warning the

people and telling them to pay attention to the sonoma county sheriff, the alerts we have in this county, and definitely be prepared. we have been and will be in critical fire weather again. it's become the new normal again. i didn't think we would be in this circumstancem two years ago, the tubbs fire. >> what about the cause? still under investigation? >> the winds have suck sided but we're bringing a ton of firefighters in this community to get this fire contained as quickly as possible. >> i interviewed you yesterday during our 4:00 p.m. news about thpower shut-offs in sonoma county. i know so many including you stayed up through the night. >> it's been busy, but the

community, thecounty, the fire prepared for the public safety shut-offs, but we also prepared for the potential of scream fire weather. that's what we saw last night. fortunately we had resources staged here. not only the fire didn't but cal fire had a lot of extra equipment on hand. we had a lot of people ready for this event. the winds were definitely extreme. it pushed the fire and it quickly grew, but there's a lot being done to get an up hander on this fire as soon as possible. >> reporter: paoul lowenthal. i want to introduce you to two friends t horse and the donkey. they're able to stay in the same staal. they're friends. it's a nerve-racking situation for many of these animals as well. i also mentioned across the

street is the santa rosa veterans memorial. that's still an on evacuation center. we're told the center in healdsburg is full. so if you're looking to get water, air-conditioning, bring your small animals, you can come here to the memorial building. live here at the sonoma county fair grounds, liz kreutz, abc 7 news. >> nice to see the animals being cared for. >> indeed. spencer christian has a look at the weather. >> i'm happy to report the weather is much, much calmer. it's still quite warm. 88 deg.ve hidity is dangerously low once again, 7%. it's been in the single digits throughout the day. the wind right now near the fire out of the northeast at ohm 6 miles an hour to occasional

gusts at 10 miles an hour. the weakening wind is 10. high fire danger has been extended for parts of the area. solano county is still under this red flag warning until 7:00 tonight. a good portion of mendocino county. there's still a chance for dry gusty weather. extreme fire behavior is possible under these conditions. check out the surface. relatively calm. in most areas, the wind speed is at the surface, below 10 miles an hour. you can see it's still dangerously low, especially the north bay and east bay where many of the areas have low readings and singe dimgts. look at the temperatures. it's not unusual to see that. it it's 19 degrees right now at half moon bay. it's produced amazing warming along the coastline where a heat advisory is in effect.

vial more coming up. >> spencer, thank you. three other wildfires burned in the bay area including this one in marin county. marin county fire says it forced the closure of highway one for a time. no structures were threatened, and the fire was burning toward the water. >> now a second fire burned in annandale state apartment in eastern santa rosa. this was contained at three acres. no evacuations were necessary. with resources already stretched thin, fire agencies were called in to keep the fire from spreading. santa rosa fire department wanted to let all the residents know all stations are staffed. a third fire is off point isabelle off i-80. helicopters dropped water on it

as fast as possible. to keep up to date on the latest, download the abc7 news app. you'll find all the weather headlines and easy access to the weather forecast. we'll send up

all right. taking a live look now at the kinkade fire still burning out of control, 10,000 acres-plus. sky 7 is overhead. i want to hear from sky

mi mike. >> reporter: we're about 6,500 feet down from the tankers dropping the loads. the helicopters dropping water on hot spots. firefighters in every direction. if you look closely, you can see the fire containment lines from the residue, fire retardant. they seem to be getting a good ring on this fire, but obviously they have some work to do. >> yeah. >> mike, what is it like being in your shoes? tell us how high up in the air you are and how close you can get without it posing a danger. >> reporter: we're at 6,500 feet because we're above what the cal fire putting up -- tfr, temporary flight restriction. what happens is they keep all nonessential aircraft out so they can fight the fire safely. so air tack, kind of an air traffic control tower in the sky, he's circling, gives us

permission to be in here, puts us a thousand feet above him, puts us in good view. we're in communication with him. my pilot oliver is in constant communication with him. >> mike, while you're up there, have you seen conditions change at all? >> you know, late in the afternoon, the smoke tends to lay down a little bit and the visibility gets worse. from a picture standpoint. this might be a better time for firefighters. i've seen hot spots float around and flamage as they call it. oliver is pointing over here. anyway, there we go. yeah. so there are some hot spots, but it seems to be kind of laying down a little bit as the sun starts to move toward the rizon. >> okay. you have been listening to the voice of mike davitch, our sky 7

pilot. our many thanks to you. quite a scene from that high up in the air. >> all right. pg&e cut power as you know to tens of thousands because of a high fire danger. power outages began yesterday around 2:00 in the afternoon. close to 28,000 in sonoma are in the power outage zone. >> abc 7's kristen sze is with us on how things are going. it has been a consistent problem. >> that's right, dan and dion. you remember the shut-off two weeks ago, pg&e's website was constantly down. they promised better improvement. here's their safety power shut-off page. if your power is out, check your restoration time. tap on that and you'll see this map. if you zoom in, you'll see the

yellow, the purple dots are the shut-o dots. if you click on one in your area, for example, you'll get exactly the time you lost power and when you'll get it restored. that's an estimation. that's tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. for all right. i want to show you one more map i found useful on pg&e's website. this is the weather forecast. take a look at this. we'll put this out for you. look at what's happening on sunday and monday. look at the yellow. that says an elevated risk for power shut-offs. that's regions 1 through 8. we're talking about all of these parts of northern california. that's so many of us. it's elevated. it doesn't mean it's going to happen, but they're watching that. this may not be the information you want, but at least at this time the information is available on their website. dan and dion. >> a very useful tool to have.

kristen, thanks. pg&e will be holding a press conference at 5:30. >> we'll be streaming that on our website and news app. >> that's right. winds have died down a bit. >> they have, significantly. looks like things will remain relatively calm. this weekend we have another wind event coming our way. here's a live look at doppler 7. you see mainly clear skies right now. there's some haze developing in some spots. this is a view from sutro tower. 68 at redwood city. that's probably not an accurate report. maybe we didn't get the accurate report in this hour. 90 in san jose, 29 at gilroy, and 91 at half moon bay. 93 degrees in

quite dry. the view from the east bay hills camera, looking at mt. diablo, winds will weaken. heat will hold on tomorrow with a very low relative humidity. minor cool willing occur on saturday with lower fire danger on saturday, but the fire danger may be elevated again on sunday as dry gusty winds will redevelop late saturday into early sunday. taking a look at air quality today as you know, it's spare the air day. tomorrow will be as well with poor air quality expected across the entire region tomorrow. on we go to overnight conditions. we'll see clear skies and again very calm wind for the most part except for occasional gusting winds. very mild. upper 50s to around 60 generally across the bay area. a little bit cooler in the north bay where lows will drop into the low 50s in some spots.

wind gust animations look like this. notice wind speed mainly in the single digits except on the coast. even through much of the day tomorrow. winds will remain very light. reduced fire danger tomorrow, but still with the dry conditions and the heat holding on.'t expect wind to be a big factor. highs tomorrow in the south bay, upper 80s at san jose on peninsula. we'll see mid- to upper 80s and 70s to low 80s on the coast. 82 will be the high in sfrachblts now to santa rosa, a high of 92. 90 in petaluma. 85 in oakland. the inward east bay will have upper 80s to about 90 tomorrow. looking ahead to saturday, minor warming. it will still be a mild to warm day, but not a hot day. it gets much cooler on sunday, but we're still going to have a strong gusty wind on sunday with

a relative humidity not very high. so here's a look at the accuweather 7-day forecast. reduced. dry gusty wind, elevated fire concerns return on sunday. bright and breezy on monday. and for most of next week, a steady pattern of sort of typical calm

ahey, fred, it'sage medicare open enrollment. time to compare plans. we're fine with what we have. that's what the johnsons thought until they tried medicare's new plan finder. the johnsons? we saved a lot on our prescription costs and got extra benefits. how 'bout it, fred?

plans change every year. use the new plan finder at medicare.gov. comparing plans really pays. wow, look how much we can save! all right. here ooh is a live look at the kinkade fire in sonoma county. it exploded overnight. it was about 400 acres. now 10,000, maybe more. >> really remarkable. more than 2,000 residents have evacuated from their homes. you see from sky 7, this is app area near i-28 and what appears to be u.s. 101 in that general

vicinity. you can see all of that smoke. >> the fire lines did cross highway 128, spreading even farther. if you've driven along i112, you know there are many restaurants and wineries. >> abc7 news reporter reporter e melendez with how they managed. lyanne. >> reporter: we're just outside the muska deny cellars and they've had power all day. it's been spotty. some wineries have had power. some vchlt i'll tell you what's telling. the flags are clam coalm comparo this morning and that's a good thing. a restaurant owner said we don't have power, we do have a generator, but get this.

it was stolen sometime last night or early this morning. do you believe that? now, this morning when the owners of tip's roadside came to open the restaurant, they found that someone had cut the chain that had secured that generator. the evidence is clear. look fur yourself. someone used bolt cutters and walked away with it. >> so currently we were using the generator for our refrigerators in our storage room to keep all of our food safe. in the past we've used it to help the first responders during the last fire with our trolleys and to do good. >> so their power was cut off by pg&e yesterday, so the restaurant has been closed since then. pg&e is warning of another wind event on saturday night into sunday morning, which may require more power shut-offs. that's bad for this winery as

well, st. ann's crossing, which was in the dark today. still the owner put up a sign to let people know they're open for business. >> how about tomorrow? >> we have a wine tasting and would really like to have the power back on. >> chateau st. jean has a generator that they purchased after the 2017 fires. with regard to the fires happening further up north, we're 30 miles away from there. let me just tell you. i'm looking around here. you saw the flags clear as a bell. no smoke overhead. i don't smell any smoke here as well. but trust me, a lot of angry people around here. >> we trust you. coming up we'll take a look

>> once again, this fire has been raging for 19 hours and is zero percent contained. >> it broke out at the thermal plant. fires quickly spread because of 60-mile-per-hour winds and tinder dry brush. >> multiple structures are gone. we do not know the exact number right now, but an abc news reporter counted at least ten in one neighborhood alone. >> more than 10,000 are under a mandatory evacuation fire. believed to have erupted quickly near some power lines and a power plant raising questions whether pg&e's planned power outages are effective. >> the team has been digging it into. and melanie woodrow has more information you may want to here. >> cal fire investigators are looking closely at an area near

a geothermal power plant. take a look at this. according to pg&e's power maps, the utility turned off the power at 9:48 last night. that's nearly a half hour after the fire starts. also we found this document filed by the pg&e this morning saying they're aware of a cable outage at that site at 11:29 poom. >> vegetation fire reported in the guy zers. >> this shows how quickly it spread. fire dispatchers quickly identified power lines are a possible cause. >> power lines down in the area. all units are aware. >> take a look at another angle of the fire at about 9:20 last night. there's something glowing in the distance, it fades, and then

there's fire. firefighters arivd at 9:27 to find a large fire spread over several hundred acres. this animation from google earth gives you an idea of the topography of the area before the fire began and its proximity to the geyser's geothermal power plant. you see the geo power pipelines that run across the area. they're looking in an area identified as the kinkade road and now the aptly named burned mountain road. . theiteam was proded with a statement. we had gee energized our fire system before the fire started. there were power lines across

the guy zers. there appeared to be broken equipment where the fire occurred. we'll be following up with pg&e to see if they sparked this blaze and why they waited so long to de-energize it. for the iteam melanie woodrow. >> thank you. they say they're more prepared than they were in previous years, but he's expressing his frustration again over the emergency power safety shut-offs. >> i must confess it's infuri e infuriating beyond words to live in a state as innovative and extraordinarily entrepreneurial living in an environment where e we're seeing these kinds of disruptions and these kinds of blackouts. while i want to chalk it up that

the hots are getting hotter and the dries are getting dryer and the wets are getting wetter and it's climate change, it's more than just climate change. as relates to pg&e, it's about dog eat dog capital iechl meeting cry mat change. it's about corporate greed meeting climate challenge. it's about decades of mismanagement, it's about shareholders and dividends over you and members of the public. it's a story about greed. and they need to be held accountable. >> strong words. they say public safety is the top priority. >>. >> they're fighting to keep their property from burning.

>> reporter: when i tell you it could be worse, it is. there was a barn here. this burned out as well. they spent most of their time trying to protect what is their bread and butter, the vines in the vast vineyard. you can see they suffered a few losses here. you look at some of these grapes. they've been damaged by the heat and some of them even look like raisins and that's what kept the owners of this vineyard moving quickly today trying to keep thinking cool. >> the worst one i've ever seen. >> reporter: fred young says he's never seen a fire burn this close to the family vineyard near geyserville. his son rohnert exclusively handles the hospitality of things. but today he had a new job.

>> basically be a firefighter. >> we watched them fill up the tankers and take care of spot fires on their property like this small wooden bridge. >> this is not their first rodeo, but last night things were different. >> most of the time it's been further away and we didn't have much to worry about, a few embers and stuff like that. but this wind was blowing right directly toward us. >> reporter: the family has owned land since the 1850s divide between grassland and vineyards. they lost some outbuildings like this storage shed. the timing couldn't have been worse. they were planning on harvesting grapes tonight. >> we started around 6:00 tonight and the guys would pick with the machine all night, and about 3:00 in the morning we'd have our trucks are ready to go. >> highly doubtful that will

happen. that means the youngs might be able to get some rest. they've been on the go for a >> at least 24 hours, try 36. >> reporter: this is that storage shed you saw a few moments ago that burned practically down. we were here as cal firefighters put this out. nower here's the irony of this whole thing. the robert young vineyards have a huge generator and they can keep these billings going. their vineyards are mostly okay and they have power, but they're figuring with the fire danger elevated again this weekend they probably won't be able to open until monday at the earliest. live outside geyserville. >> thank you. here are the areas evacuated. the entire town of geyserville and areas east stretching past highway 128 into black mountain and mercuriville. closed roads include cloverdale,

guy zers, guy zerks red winery, alexander valley, moody lane, and pine flat. the casinos are closed. there are two evacuation centers, one in sonoma county fairgrounds and santa rosa veterans memorial building. liz kreutz is there. the second is the veterans memorial building. this is where you can take small animals and puts. the facility at healdsburg has just reached capacity. >> even though we saw things look calming, there's another weather event. >> no. what's happening? >> right, dan and dion. here's a look at the conditions at the site of the fire. it's still quite warm. 8 degrees. relative humidity, danksly low. the wind is calm. that's good news. gusts of 10 miles per how.

on we go. the red flag warning is still in effect for men da county and lake county. relative community remains very low. we have warm weather across the region where it's 90 degrees at half moon bay. while we will expect diminished fire concerns tomorrow, we have increasing winds coming over the weekend and concerns will be elevated once again. dion? >> spencer. you can always use our free abc7 news app to track the weather. the app is free to download in the app store. be sure to enable push alerts be sure to enable push alerts and notifications so deal talk!

most of the bay area. our team of meteorologists have been warning you about it today, but don't be fooled because even if you don't see visible smoke in your neighborhood, there still could be air quality risks in your area without you knowing it. >> the particles are so small they can impact you. >> if you see smoke, stay >> last time we had fires you were to wear michigan 95 face masks. >> experts now say it's an outdated practice and might not have made a difference after y'all. abc 7's mike mike mike mike mii

more. >> the masks are officially called a particulate respirator. only those approved should be worn. last year was to wear the n 95678 this year it's n 100. the p is also recommended. it has oil resistance. to be most effective, it must fit correctly. juan is with 7 on your sigh. you make sure the mask is above your nose and below your chin. it must have two straps. one strap goes above your ear, the other below your ear. and for it to be most effective, you should be clean-shaven unlike juan.

if you have heart or lung issues, you should talk to a physician before you wear a mask. the best thing do is get out of the area. if that's not possible, get indoors and close the window. i'm michael finney, 7 on your side. >> good advice. let's talk more about the weather conditions. >> look i ahead to the next couple of days. >> we're expecting calmer wind. we still have high fire danger, red fire danger warning. on we go, though, to look at overnight conditions across the entire region. calmer wind overnight. clear skies, mild conditions will pervade with low conditions mainly in the upper 40s in the north bay valleys to upper 50s and 60 degrees just about everywhere else. tomorrow will be another warm day with calmer wind but with very low humidity so there will still be fire concerns even in

the absence of a red flag warning. temperatures will be low 80s at the coast to low 90s inland. there loo l be some cooling on saturday. minor cooling we'll call it. dry gusty wind will redevelop late saturday into early sunday. even though the temperatures will be lower on sunday, we have dangerously strong wind gusts developing for that day. so we'll have another wind event coming our way and fire concerns will be elevated once again for sure. >> we can

shouldn't mean a change in standards. that's why - thanks to you - we're rated number one in customer satisfaction by j.d. power.

once again let's take you back in the air to sky 7 over the kinkade fire. smoke is heavy in the atmosphere. truly how remarkable how quickly this fire exploded from 300 acres overnight to 10,000 acres by the morning. >> the wind is beginning to cooperate at least, which will help. an emergency power shut-off is in effect for six southern california counties but nothing like we're seeing in the northern part. california edison has shut off power to 19,000 customers in kern, riverside. the utility says it's monitoring

an additional 286,000 customers in the area as well as orange county for possible shut-off. san diego gas & electric has cut power to 100,000 with another 49,000 under consideration. >> meantime crews are battling a wildfire in san bernardino prompting a voluntary evacuation of nearly 100 homes. the old water fire has been burning and 75 acres is charred and 35% is contained. the cause of that fire is under investigation. and crews in los angeles county are battling another wildfire near canyon not far from magic mountain. the tick fire as it's called broke out at 2:00 this afternoon. at least one structure has been destroyed, few are threatened. >> the winds are expected to unfortunately whip back up this weekend.

just ahead, we talked to the meteorologist at the san jose fire lab how they're

with the elevated fire danger, researchers at san jose university are keeping an eye on the forecast to see how the changing weather conditions could impact all of us this weekend. abc 7's chris nguyen has more. >> reporter: researchers with
