our team coverage continues with abc7 reporter luz peña with more on the evacuation cornell just mentioned. luz, how frightening has it been of a day for these people? >> dion, we're close to the fire. that image is surreal. it's incredible to think many residents in this area woke up to the sight of flames outside of their windows. i want to point to st. helena hospital. you see the fire engines getting ready to go up the hill. many of the patients inside were evacuated earlier today, 55 patients. i want to show you what's happening here at the hospital. the strategy is they're watering the roof of the hospital as they gear up for those fire engines to go up the hill. i want to point to the hillside here, deer park and silverado road up the hill. we spoke to residents who said they are going to evacuate, they're packing up. we spoke to a 22-year-old carlo

is different, that this fire is closer than a month ago. but they're staying put. some of them telling us down the hill -- we spoke to a family who says they're not going to evacuate. they're going to wait for firefighters to get closer to that area and tell them when is it right time for them to leave. they're saying that this is what they signed up for by living in this community. they are obviously aware of the situation and hoping for the best. they are feeling some sort of comfort knowing that there are resources up in the sky and on the ground. they're obviously in their favor. live, luz peña, abc7 news. >> thank you very much. conditions continue there. this video shows how close the fire is burning to napa vineyards. there's a large evacuation zone in and around the fire. j.r. is with us. >> eric, it's one thing to have to leave your home and go to an evacuation center, it's another to do so in these extremely hot

temperatures like they are today. we're talking triple digits. according to my car gage a while ago, 107 degrees, one of the reasons why so many people are inside of their cars out here blasting that air conditioning. there have been some close calls among these evacuees. >> i talked to a friend and he says, oh, the fire is all the way across the canyon, no big deal and you'll get home fine. i saw the fire coming through the canyon -- almost hit me. >> she is okay. but emergency crews tell us that at least 100 people are here at the crosswalk community church in napa. 6,000 in evacuation zones. there were more earlier, but some were able to get hotel rooms here. i was inside this facility and the main room where i was did not have air conditioning. it's been over 100 for most of the day. they had the doors open and the breeze could come through, but still very hot. others, as i said, are in their

cars. sandra brown and her family have covered the windows with clothes and kept the vehicles on so that air conditioning helps them in these triple-digit temperatures. they left their homes in when it was still dark out. >> thank god we're alive. i never had this happen. we had fires before, but usually we're prepared. they let us know to evacuate. but this time, it's the middle of the night when you're asleep, you know. we could have like paradise waking up and driving through god knows what. >> back out here live, again, you don't see many people in this parking lot. that is because, as i've said over and over again, triple-digit temperatures out here. it is extremely hot. some of these folks in those cars to get air conditioning and some of those folks tell me they were still waiting for a hotel room this evening. some of the hotel rooms were rushing to get some of these rooms ready for additional customers.
