men and women i have seen on the field here >> thank you for joining us. >> let's get right to it. >> we just had an update from calfire. firefighters have been throwing everything they have at the flames to protect the historic town of strawberry. it appears to have worked. calfire says as of tonight, no structures have been lost. the eastern edge of the fire is still raging. the fire has crossed highway 80 and is getting closer to kirkwood resort. calfire says the smoke is limiting their effort for fighting from the air. >> the group behind me is used to winning and i can tell you every single firefighter and law enforcement officer out on the line is doing absolutely everything they can to protect lives, property and the natural resources we all hold dear on all parts of this fire. >> the fire has reached the

tahoe basin in there is a red flag warning for the cr tonight meaning the conditions are ripe for the fire to explode. >> this map shows the current evacuations. red is an evacuation order. you can see it goes right up to the edge to lake tahoe. the yellow area is evacuation warnings. containment of the fire has dropped to 14%. the fire has scorched more than 177,000 acres and the flames advanced to the east. this video was taken at 3:00 p.m. today. it gives you a perspective of how massive the fire has begun. firefighters are getting support from the air. we sell the plane make a retardant drop. >> abc 7 news meteorologist drew tuma is monitoring the air quality in the bay area. let's hear from stephanie sierra who is right in the thick of it tonight. >> the wind is really picking up

here. we confirmed a spot fire has jumped the ridge of echo summit moving down in our direction about a half mile in our direction. calfire tells us there are a lot of embers blowing and spreading the fire rapidly. all of this happening just about a half mile from where we are right now. the smoke is so dense you cannot make out echo summit or the outline of the trees. what is happening is exactly what fire crews were afraid of. conditions ahead the worst we have ever seen it. the caldor fire picking up speed, threatening tens of thousands of homes in south lake tahoe as families rushed to evacuate. >> hopefully there is going to be a home to come back to. >> evacuee jeff in denial. moving through the fire, -- living through the angora fire, he knows the feel of losing everything. >> sure enough, it is not good

right now. >> today, the flames even more ferocious. crawling fast up echo summit. do you expect tonight to be the worst? > i did mention today is going to be one of the hardest fights. the wind is going to increase. we will probably see more extreme growth. >> whipping winds continue moving the flames northeast weaving hand crews hard at work in myers where flames erupted alongside highway 50 overnight jarring miles of land along the famous tahoe ski resort. the iconic ski resort is still standing. the ski lifts are shrouded in smoke. crews watering down the charred grounds. only a maintenance building burned to the ground. the main ski strip still in tact but homes across the street not as lucky. only chimneys left behind. fo away, traffic at a standstill as 22,000 people try.

>> how long have you been waiting? >> over an hour. >> business owners like matthew smith close behind, packing up hundreds of his chainsaw carvings. racing to leave behind his life's work. >> we're going to have to leave probably about 200 to $300,000 of product behind and hope it does not burn. >> lookout yuri this looks. the sun turning blood orange and the smoke so bed it is really hard to breathe here. just about a quarter of a mile from where we are now, visibility gone. it is really that in this area. indicating the flames are moving closer to our location. the spot fire i told you about, the update from calfire, we are told the wind and those embers pushing it closer to highway 50, that is going to be a big concern. last night, his ability, there was none. trees were falling on highway 50.

that is going to be a big focus for crews tonight. >> let's talk about evacuations. our most people out at this point? -- are most people out at this point? >> i lost reception for a moment. can you repeat that? >> evacuations, have most of the people gotten out? >> at this point, yes. in myers and south lake tahoe, deserted. there are some people who wanted to stay until the very last minute. they wanted to protect their homes. because it is a half an hour from where we are now, that is what we are seeing. a lot of the people have stayed, they're getting one last stop for gas and then they are getting out of town. the emotion of this has been heartbreaking to talk to these families who are packing up all their belongings. their life savings poured into their homes. some of these families just remodeled their house and it is a mile from the fire line.

these stories are heartbreaking. you have got to feel for these people who are living with all this uncertainty right now. >> i know the tension is just terrible in this stress. let's bring in meteorologist drew tuma. checking in on those conditions. >> firefighters have a day and a half of dangerous winds to contend with right now. we will take you to the northeastern flank of the fire. you can see phillips, myers. we are going to spin this around because calfire in their last update has said we have spot fires below echo summit and they are moving into christmas valley. it is not surprising because we could on the current winds right now and you can see the winds are going to push any fires to the east. that is a big concern as this fire moves into tahoe basin. another update we heard from calfire is the fire has jumped

highway 88 and is moving toward kirkwood. the wind direction is pushing the fire in that direction. red flag warning in effect for dangerous fire conditions through tomorrow night for much of the northern sierra. that wind is also creating better air quality shared by tomorrow, air quality between good and moderate for the bay area. >> smoke from the fires is creating different challenges for bay area residents especially students who play sports outside. ryan curry is live in livermore where students are playing football tonight after friday's game was canceled. >> that game happening just moments ago. kickoff a few moments ago. the principal at granada high school calling for a need to be flexible. he says he does not know if a regular football season can happen as it is supposed to. he says the smoke from the wildfires and the pandemic scheduling made it difficult. he had to cancel a lot of events due to public health.

it is something usually enjoyed at the end of each week. friday night football. in team takes the field and in mitts school pride. for granada high school, that school pride feeling is coming at the beginning of the week air quality forced the school to postpone the game until monday. >> we were hyped up for friday night but i think being hyped up as possible on a monday night as possible. >> when he looked at the sky friday, he knew it would not be safe to play football game. >> we did not have a great feeling. the air looked very dirty. >> the air quality was over one 50, putting livermore in the unhealthy range. what makes the postponement frustrating is how frequent it happens. when sybil hart says each year a sporting event is moved due to smoke and he does not see it changing anytime soon. >> it feels a little bit what california is like now. we have had these issues going back four years straight. air quality concerns that have

jeopardized the only athletics but we had a school dismissal day several days ago because the air quality was so poor. >> he says the school tries to schedule events hoping they will happen without issue but he called on students and staff to be open to the moves in case they keep happening. >> everybody here, teachers, students, administrators, i think we know that flexibility is kind of necessary right now. >> that threshold listed by the california interscholastic federation is at 150. if it is above that, they have to cancel the event. right now, it is right below 100 so this game does not look like it is going to face any issues when it comes to air quality. >> that is good to hear. obviously fire and a air quality here. to another part of the country and another disaster, you can see the enormity of the damage left behind by hurricane ida. the powerful hurricane was one
