melanie woodrow joins us with more on this. >> dion and dan, the documents were just filed with the california public utilities corporation today. they outlined how the two fires that happened in lafayette could be tied again to pg& power lines. the fires started blocks from where power had been turned off. flames threaten homes and destroy the lafayette tennis club when a grassfire roared through dry brush found by high wind. it sent smoke over highway 24. pg&e reported to the cpuc that there were two incidents regarding the energized power lines yesterday. one was at pleasant hill where pg&e reported a lashing wire and open wire as a potential ignition source. the other in lafayette attica minnow el diablo road. they found this downed power

pole and transformer. you can see what it looked like in april of this year. trees were close to power lines. the exact scenario pg&e has been concerned about. the reason, it says, it is cutting power to millions of customers when high winds pick up. now there are questions as to why the two lines that may have been involved in yesterday's fires were energized at all. take a look at this pg&e planned public safety outage map from yesterday. that orange color is where power was shut off. but this is where the fire started. this is where the condit road fire started. both outside the outage zone. raising more questions about the effectiveness and -- the about the planned outage. >> reporter: we're hoping to get more information about that today. the press conference started about 10 to 15 minutes later than it happened. we're hoping for more information. in the meantime, the customers who had the power shut off in the most recent shutoff.

39% have had their power restored. live in san francisco, melanie woodrow, abc 7 news. melanie, thank you. the latest on the kinkade fire in sonoma county, an evacuation order has been issued for parts of lake county, including twin pine casino in middletown. >> some evacuation orders have been down graded. these are highlighted in blue, including bodega bay, bodega, moon i's ranch, occidental, firestone, camp meeker, forestville,ry knit owe, hassend a, guerneville and valley ford. >> the purple area is mandatory evacuations. the red is the outline of the fire itself. >> the kinkade fire burned more than 66,000 acres and is just 5% contained. the fire is still threatening 70,000 homes. >> we are expected to get an

words for pg&e. >> this cannot be the new normal. we cannot absorb this year after year. we have experienced ten of the worst fire seasons in california's history just since 2015. you look at what happened '15, '17, '18. >> seems like a cut and paste of two years back. kind of same thing happening. just different time. >> reporter: we just heard from an evacuee. a jacob green. his family was evacuated at 3:00 a.m. yesterday. they used their rv as a bulldozer to get through the power lines and broken trees. they're staying at the fair ground with their tent. family members, including 20 cats. back here live, there are 450 evacuees staying here. at the sonoma fairgrounds. the question remains in their head, when can they go back

division chief jonathon cox with incident manage amount team 6. to start things off like we've done in the past. if you could mute cell phones and take conversations out of the press conference area. we'll have a spanish language version of this press conference at the conclusion of the english language version. additionally, we will have times variety of spokes persons and agencies behind me. i ask that you wait to ask those questions until that time. beyond that, there is an opportunity for one-on-ones when the press conference concludes. just to start things off from what has transpired since this morning at 9:00, as many of you knows the population has started in the western portions of sonoma county, that would be zone 7 and a portion of zone 8. the fire is now at 74,324 acres.

we have increased and gained containment. we're at 15% containment on those 74,000-plus acres. 90,000 structures are still threatened on this fire. we can confirm that we now have 123 structures that have been destroyed. the damage inspection teams continue to go about their business. and get those counts up to 123 structures. of that 57 of them are residential homes. the others are either out-buildings or commercial structures. additionally, we have confirmed 20 structures that have been damaged. 12 of those are residential homes. seven other structures and one commercial. 20 damaged, 123 destroyed and 90,000 still threatened. finally, just about a half an hour ago, additional evacuation warnings were issued.

repopulating. we were -- warnings on the eastern side into lake county. the result of change in weather conditions. that is referred to a zone 31 in western lake county. it is currently in an evacuation warning. with that, i'll hand it over to our national weather service representative. ryan wall burn. >> good evening. once again, the weather did turn somewhat favorable today. we had mortem pert on the wind. we're 9 or 10% for the region. low for this area. tuesday morning, at 8:00 a.m. and runs through wednesday afternoon. what that means is tomorrow the firefighters will be out there under red flag conditions. the setup is a little different. it is weaker but nonetheless significant. thus the warning. the northeast winds are going to come in off of mt. st. helena

and move over the fire. wind speeds 20 to 30 miles an hour. as we get towards the afternoon, we'll see gusts 40 to 50 miles an hour as we head towards sunset. it's important to note that down along the 101 corridor, wind speeds will be lighter. folks may not see the winds. but the strong winds will be up on the fire. that's during the day tuesday and then the most critical period will be tuesday night when we expect the winds to peak through midnight. luckily the winds will start to ease heading into wednesday and we'll be looking forward to that next change in the weather. thanks. >> speaking next is firefighter analyst steve vollmer. >> good evening. with the southwest winds we had today, it gave the firefighters a bit of a break with the fire behavior. as the wind began to shift around, that fire behavior increased and produced high fire intensity, fire behavior again and medium range spotting.

as the winds continued to change and get into the red flag warning, northeast flow, it's going to increase that fire behavior to levels that we saw when this fire initially began. when the red flag warning initiates tomorrow, the firefighters will be working in those conditions. we're constantly updating the fire behavior forecast for the location of the fire as well as for the temperatures and the relative humidities that continue to drop in the areas. with the relative humidities dropping, we're seeing that fuel bed be able to hold those spot fires as well as to increase the rates of spread to critical and dangerous rates. >> and for an operational update, incident commander mike blank en hiem. >> good evening everybody. so we do not have the big fire run today that we had yesterday. probably aware of that. however, that doesn't mean we do have a lot of active fire behavior today.

i think like you heard steven talk about, very dry conditions. but we didn't have the wind. quick recap on the actions today. what we're looking at tomorrow. >> do you have the mic on? >> mine is on. how about now? >> awesome. so starting over again. we do not have the fire run today that we had yesterday. but as you heard over there, we did have dry conditions and we did have active fire conditions today. i'll give a quick recap of our actions today and then what we're looking at for tomorrow. up here in the divisional fa,

papa bravo area, fire burned actively throughout the afternoon and we focused our attention with the large tankers, large air tankers and very large air tankers and the type one -- doing everything we can to build line up in here to keep it from spreading down into lake county. down here in the southeastern part of it there, the fire made a hard run into that silo ridge area. we were fairly successful going direct on a lot of the fire with dozers, fire engines. however, i don't think we're done building line there. we're going to continue working on that throughout the night and getting ready for the wind event described for tomorrow. the other thing for tomorrow, working on a pretty robust contingency plan for middletown and calistoga preparing for it to go along the lake county line. >> thank you, chief. are there any questions for the

operations, chief? >> not hearing any, next sonoma county sheriff, sheriff he is i can? >> good evening. i'm going to provide a quick briefing on some of the repopulation efforts we have going on throughout the afternoon. earlier today we lifted the evacuation order for the west county. what we're calling zone 7 and zone 8. by reducing that evacuation order to a warning, we're permitting people back into the area. they are free to enter the area without identification or any permits. they're free to go home and check on their home. however, there is still a that means that people should be prepared as they re-enter the area. if the fire were to change or we saw a drastic change in the weather conditions, they could still be subject to danger and they could be subject to

elevation back to an evacuation order. however, at this time we have weighed the risks with the weather forecasts and the fire forecast and we feel comfortable allowing people back into this area. i want to mention, as people return home, there are still hazards out there. we had a high wind event, they may encounter trees down on the roads or near their homes. there may be debris on the roads. be vigilant as you drive back into the area checking on their properties or homes. if conditions change and we do cyan increase in weather or fire activity and we have to go back to an evacuation order, we will have deputies back in those neighborhoods using the high-low siren to evacuate again. however, like i said, we feel confident we can allow people back in safely and that risk has been mitigated. lastly, i want to cover the patrols in the evacuation areas.

we continue to have hundreds of deputies and peace officers from throughout the state patrolling the areas evacuated to ensure that we don't have any theft or looting. unfortunately, just a few hours ago, we had an incident in the geyserville area, south of cloverdale where we had a couple of people enter an evacuation zone for no apparent reason. we believe that they were up to a criminal intent and that they were prowling or looking for crimes of opportunity. so we have deputies that were up there. they made an arrest. we continue to investigate that. that's still an active criminal investigation. so we tinto look at repopulation. we're going to continue to look at it as the weather conditions change and wind conditions change. we understand that people want to get back to their homes and check on their homes. there's anxiety and frustration out there. we ask you to be patient, work with us. our goal is to get you back in

your homes as quickly as possible. we're working very diligently to do so. so thank you for your cooperation and your patience and we look forward to continuing to serve all of you. thank you. >> next from the california highway patrol. captain wolf. >> good evening. i'm captain aristotle wolf. commander of your local chp area. the chp is maximum staffing to help the sheriff department or other allied agency partners with whatever they need for repopulation, whatever for patrol of potential looting or general assistance to the public as calls arise. we're coming from all over the bay area to assist. also at maximum staffing and extended shifts in the local area. be patient at closures. we're helping to control certain entry points or exclusion points.
