that ridge. you can see all the smoke pumping into the napa valley. hundreds of folks forced from their say they're feeling very lucky to be alive tonight. >> the fire was ferocious. exploding in size within hours. burning through the hills of wine country, northeast of st. helena. cal fire was attacking the glass fire from all sides it is a burned across the ridge. choppers made countless runs, dumping water. sky 7 caught the moment the dc-10 dumped retardant on the blaze. >> it's a battle. >> fire crews are challenged with red nag conditions, hot temperatures, and gusty winds. >> the fire is so hot at this point, it's made it down to the silverado trail burning on both sides of the road. >> we got here about 4:30, and we've been working hard ever since. >> jan lives in the evacuation zone on north crystal springs

road. she said there was no time to grab anything. >> we woke up in the middle of the night and there were flames. we could see flames. we ran to the car. i was in my underwear. i still haven't, i still haven't found my dog. we left with nothing. >> reporter: jan's beloved doing is zaza ran away during the chaos. sadly the dog was found hours later badly burned, now being treated by a vet. >> she's 11 years old with a pretty silver face. >> we're evacuating our hospital and we're no longer accepting patients until it is safe. >> reporter: 55 patients were moved by ambulance to other facilities as the fire got closer. some were air lifted out by chopper. deja vu for many who were forced to leave just weeks ago for the lnu fire. >> it gets pretty tiring. it seems like it is turning into a lifestyle. being here. it's a beautiful place but this is not right.

>> yeah. she said it is too stressful. she is ready to move from the area. check it out, a very smoky, very hazy sun. it gives you the idea how much smoke is out here. they've been battling high winds, hot temperatures all day. it seems like the winds have died down. some other good news, we saw some reinforcement firefighters show up from southern california. hive in st. helena, cornell bernard. >> and we'll take all the good news we can get. thank you. our team coverage continues now with abc news reporter luz penna. she has more on the hospital evacuation. luz? >> reporter: we are in the thick of it. i want to point to the sky above us. it has turned orange. you can see the plume of smoke. i want to ask my photographer, you can see the names burning.

firefighters are going up this ridge right here. you can see them backing up. they're gettingle of the engines gearing up to go to this hill. you can see them strategizing. i want to point to the st. helena hospital to my left. 55 patients were evacuated earlier today. there is a skeleton crew left behind. they were watering the roof to make sure that they are ready in case they do make it. it is incredible, these images that you're seeing. many of them woke up to the names so close to their homes. now we're seeing how this fire is extending over this ridge. 1,500 acres burned and 0% contained. i just spoke 30 minutes ago with the p.i.o. for the st. helena hospital that they're hoping for the best. they're hoping these evacuation dozen make sense in this community and many do leave because the biggest concern is

this communiy, this is the second time they're experiencing evacuations in less than two months. >> cleaning all the air filters, they replaced the air scrubbers throughout the hospital to keep our air safe. and they were keeping everything up and running, functional properly. you have to go through with something like the and turn off certain medical devices, lock up narcotics, things like that. so all of that was done in a very methodical fashion. >> reporter: now, we have deer park road and silverado trail. both are under evacuation warning. we drove out several minutes ago and found a family packing up and getting ready to evacuate. we spoke to 28-year-old carlo who has lived here his entire life with tears in his eyes who said he is not ready to see his home and his community go. >> it's the word.

it's comfortable. peaceful. just the people that i love, the experiences i've had since i was a kid. we've had videos, all kinds of stuff here. i could spend forever but probably best we keep it short for safety. >> reporter: back here live, you can see the hazy sky and the orange glare over this ridge. we've heard from several residents that the sound of those resources do give them some sort of peace of mind, that they are getting help from the community. they say a month ago, the fire was maybe eight miles from this specific area. now it's about two miles away. it is getting closer. you can see this fire right behind us. i just spoke to several fellow firefighters who say this is concerning, that this is burning so quickly, and at this level you can see the wind just picking up with minute after

minute and they're hoping people will adhere to the evacuation warnings and they do leave this area. luz pena, abc7 news. >> thank you. you saw how close the names were to where luz is standing. this shows where it is burning in the napa vineyards. there is a large evacuation zone in and around the fire. j.r. joins us now with that part of the story. >> reporter: we're talking about 6,000 people who have been either ordered to evacuate or are in an evacuation warning area. that is certainly concerning by itself. add to the fact we are dealing with triple digit temperatures and you have concerning situations. outside of this evacuation center, many people are staying in their cars where they can turn on the air conditioning. >> in this parking lot, when i
