i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm scott mcgrew. hundreds of firefighters out on the fire lines this morning trying to keep flames from spreading. the flames have torn through five buildings along butts canyon in napa county near pope valley and middletown. this is near the heart of wine country and the flames are threatening dozens of homes as well as vineyards and wineries. "today in the bay's" bob redell joins us live in napa county at the fire command post. bob, we are expecting an update from firefighters any minute now. >> reporter: well, within the next couple of hours, good morning to you, scott. now that the sun's up, you get a pretty good sense where we believe the fire started. over here, outside butts canyon road, a remote area, berryessa. the burn continues to the right side of the screen. look where it's smoky down that canyon, that's where we believe a lot of the fire's headed now. the last count, according to cal

fire, 2,700 acres burned, only had 30% containment. these are numbers from the overnight. now the sun's coming up, within the next hour or so, based on our conversation with cal fire this morning, sending up an aircraft to survey the area to see, a, how much did the fire grow overnight, how much more acreage was burned and, b, were they able to get a better sense of containment? it's been cooler overnight, the winds have died down but as christina's been telling us, those conditions are not going to be that way throughout the day. it's expected to go worse. and part of the challenge for firefighters here is the fact that it's so steep and so rugged. now, this fire started, i believe, around noon yesterday, according to one report, some young men clearing some weeds using some sort of metal blade. whatever happened that metal blade ignited something and accidentally started this fire frp there it took off. >> a lot of that due to dry

feels, not a lot of access to get engines and dozers in. >> reporter: talking about dry fuels. cal fire saying conditions, so dry they don't see it this dry until august, september. but here we are in july, we're a month or two ahead of schedule, namely because of the drought. the fire has damaged five structure, not clear if those are barns, sheds or houses and forced mandatory evacuation of 200 homes. some from pope valley, many from berryessa estates. you're one of the people wondering where do i go to evacuate? it's middletown high school. they had to move to to the high school, a bigger area because they had a bigger crowd than expected. you can see the address, middletown here in california. expecting an update from cal fire within the next hour or so to get us a better sense of what acreage is at, still at 2,700? most likely not. what about containment? still at 30%?

the hope is yes, of course, they've been able to get a better sense of containment. weather today not helpful for firefighters, according to the forecast. live near napa county, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you. the fire's burning through power poles and lines throughout napa county. pg&e power out for 30 households and businesses in middletown and pope valley. overnight, pg&e told us its crews are on wait to napa to take a look at fire damage. >> always monitoring the very latest. we continue our coverage all morning with live reports from napa county. updating the story online as well with new details from firefighters. you can find photo slide shows and new video, it's all on nbcbayarea.com, search wildfire. >> that's right. bob redell out there this morning. we'll have crews throughout the day. live picture, once again, of the wildfire burning in napa county. you can see the smoke rising. heat, wind a concern for

so this started here where we're at butts canyon road in napa county, started around noon. it's believed, according to one report, young men clearing weeds with a metal blade accidentally caused this fire to ignite. with this area being in a drought, it just took off from there what happens difficult for firefighters is that this area's very rugged. it's heavily wooded. hard to access with the dozers and trucks the fire's damaged five structures. it's forced mandatory evacuation of 200 homes, some from pope valley, many others from berryessa estates. >> started crying because everything i own is in the house up there in berryessa estates. and my daughter's fiancee is up there. he can't get out. the fire trucks won't go in because it's so smoky according to the highway patrol. >> reporter: we assume her daughter's fiance is okay.

the new numbers 3200 acres burned in napa county. the fire still 30% contained. based on a conversation with one of the firefighters, they expect to get a better containment today, just because they'll have a full day of the sun, though it's going to be hot out, a full day of the sun. they've got a good 18 hours, little bit more, on this fire. live in napa county, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks so much. the fire's just not burning through trees, power line as well throughout napa county. update from pg&e. the utility reporting power is out for at least 230 households and businesses in middletown and pope valley. overnight pg&e told us it has their crews sent out to take a look at that damage and get it fixed when they can get in there safely. >> we'll continue our cov taj throughout the newscast and the "today" show. updating the story online with

change as we head throughout the day today. expecting fierce wind to develop in the area between 3:00 and 9:00 p.m. firefighters have an opportunity to really take advantage of the weather which is on their side. it will be, it looks like, for the next few hours. i'm with you through 11:30 here on nbc bay area. conditions here have not changed. temperatures mid-50s, overcast out there. and the wind calm. as we head throughout the day, temperatures are going to climb quickly as that shallow marine layer fades fast. live look at san jose, that's occurring. ocean beach shows you we have plenty of low cloud cover available at the immediate coast but burning off through antioch, crystal clear at 6:48 in the morning. warm in the extreme east bay through the delta, antioch going to be warm. nothing like we had to deal with on monday when we had that triple dim it plus heat.

just 80s, even in hot spots. wind speed for two reasons. right now nice and calm up in the north bay, that's the calmest spot. still getting that beautiful, moist pacific air at 54 degrees, moving all the way inland. feels comfortable. onshore flow good news when it does come to keeping hillsides moist but going to mean stronger wind as we head throughout the day today. like i said before, watching the hours of 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the north bay. temperatures work like there is, low 80s in the south bay. comfortable for tomorrow as well. and then we hit the fourth of july. here's the deal. if you're looking for the best weather for daytime activities, you want to hit the beach, hit the inner away if you want the best view of those gorgeous fireworks as they light up the sky, you're going to find that in your inland valleys, pleasanton, san jose, redwood city looking fantastic this year. let's check your drive.
