darkness last night made it hard to get a good amount of ache carriage. it is probably a bov 10,000 acres. we have some structures destroyed. we don't have an action twel count on them yet. we have teams surveying those to determine if they are residences or general out buildings. once we get that confirmed we'll add that to our daily report. right now we cannot confirm or deny the residences that have been destroyed. that is all i have. speaking next on evacuations and closures will be the sheriff. thank you. i'm here to give an update on the event. currently we have about 100 law enforcement personnel assisting with the fire and that is composed of the sheriff's

office, the santa rosa police department through mutual aid, highway patrol through mutual aid, animal control. those 100 law enforcement folks are working to make sure the evacuation area is clear to assist residents in the area with their evacuations and to maintain safety and order. the sheriff's office wants to acknowledge this is an emotional time for many people. it has only been two years since the fires that devastated our community. currently as you heard approximately 10,000 acres have been burned with 0% containment. the sheriff's office issued evacuation orders with our public safety partners which cover approximately 2,000 people or slightly fewer than 2,000 people in the geyserville area and in the hills east of there. we're asked people to please heed our evacuation order and get out of the area so fire and safety can fight fires and

maintain control of the area. we know that many people feel better prepared and more repaired than they were two years ago, and many people have taken the time to prepare kits and prepare their homes for a wildfire but this is not the same to stay. this is the time to go. please heed the evacuation order. there is an evacuation rninfor the northern unincorporated area. those people who liver in the unincorporated area north, you're under an evacuation warning. we want you to prepare to leave and gather belongings and be pr notice. our del tis are holding evacuation lines. once people leave, they will not be allowed back in. this is a very fast evolving situation. we're working with all our partners including cal fire and other agencies to monitor the situation and add additional resources as needed. the sheriff's office is always here. we want you to be alert and aware and you can do that by

following us on facebook, twitter, and instagram. you can follow us onyx el so we can provide updates to you. the last thing i want to stress, take care of each other. we want you checking on your neighbors, especially those who are elderly or may not be ambulatory. make sure they are okay. neighbor helping neighbor is what makes a difference here. thank you. speaking next from the california highway patrol, captain wolf. good afternoon. the highway patrol is as sheriff said we're assisting with the law enforcement efforts here. our main role currently is to maintain and monitor current closures on roadways and to check for the potential of

incoming or needed closures should they arise. currently we are holding locations on sr128, at alexander valley road and people are being turned back. on the east end we're 128 is closed at pine flat. we have contingencies and are prepared to close u.s. 101 if that would be necessary and we would work with our partners to do so however there is no indication at this time that we are going to need to do it. we want to be ready. i would ask that commuters who travel these locations prepare accordingly. if you need to leave and travel south or travel north, be prepared that if an emergency exists where you needed to close 101, you may have access denied. monitor our social media and the counties to keep up to date on that. i would also just like to add that the highway patrol is prepared to add more resources if needed. right now, we're doing it with local resources, but we have

statewide resources that we can always bring in. we have air units that can support in an observation rescue capacity if needed. i just lastly would like to everyone. ng time for ior. it is an emotional time for the county as our memory has not faded from the last fire. people are particularly irritable behind the wheel of their car when they can't get where they are going or delayed. this is not the time for that. this is the time to be strong as it has been in the past. pill together. if you're delayed it is probably for a reason and we can try to explain those but sometimes our officers are told to hold an area because there is a firefighting or lifesaving need and we need you to accept that and make altered plans. that is the biggest thing. take care of each other, plan for delays and keep calm.

thank you very much. speaking next from the county of sonoma the supervisor. force thank you. i'm the chair of the supervisors and our thoughts are with the area and the county that was mentioned a couple times. there is still a lot of trauma from the fires of two years ago and waking up to a day like today brings back a lot of memories. we want to say thank you to our partners, our first responders that are out there and were all night. those that will remain on the lines and to all the help that we get from our local governments or local fire departments. you know this last tuesday the county of sonoma claimed an emergency for the red flag warning and the public safety power shift off. there were p prepositioned resources. three strike teams, 15 additional engines within the county. i think that, because we took those additional precautions

working into this particular event, we had pele in the right places moving to ward but of course with the winds way they were and the way they will continue to be for a little whiles at least through this weekend we remain vigilant. take care of each other, watch out for win another and heed all orders and especially evacuations orders and stay out of danger's way and stay safe. thank you. >> reporter: now questions and answers. if we can start with fire questions first and we can bring the chief back up for those.

there is still as when we say 0% containment, there is no containmentment and no direct line on the fire. while the conditions are better, we are still experiencing problems and the containment is still very challenging. >> [ no audio. ] >> we're concerned about the north wind. that is the drier pattern so that is pushing it toward the town ofgizezerville. >> it is right on the outskirts. rest if you will. thank you. we'll go to questions for law enforcement about evacuations or closures. any questions for law

enforcement? >> [ no audio. ] >> no reported injuries yet. [ no audio. ] >> at this time we are totally under vin gation. we have not begin that process yet. >>was the power out in that area? i don't know. we treat all power lines like they are live even in the shutdown area. i don't know if that was in the off area or not. prenot >> not necessarily. the wind speeds, if we're at 60- mile-an-hour winds that is not -- i'm not giving a fact. that is what i have been toad. i believe that to be true based on the conditions ix earns pooed our aircraft cannot drop in those fixed wings or

helicopters so that wouldn't have made a difference. when there is that kind of wind speed similar to two years ago, the resistance to control is just at a level that is well beyond our capabilities. as the supervisor mentioned the local county alone had upwards of 15 engines. the cal fire had resources and we had additional aircraft on anyway and still the fire had that kind of a head start with the fuels and lower humidities and wind speed pushing behind us. >> aircraft are challenged today, because there is not enough wind speed and as you can see behind us the smoke lays in and so sometimes the helicopters can't get as low as they would like to, but different parts of the fire have different visibility so they are working at this moment all the parts of the fair they can. as i mentioned they also ordered the large air tanker from southern california to come up, because na find an

area it can work. it should be probably be here about now. it takes just a very short flight time from southern california. >> imperative is a very accurate term, yes. we're very concerned about the projected currently projected weather conditions coming this weekend. bay our forecast looking to be the same or worse than what we just experienced. >> yes, we have firefighters from all over the northern half of the state and probably the southern half bit i don't have the exact departments but, yes. we're looking at over 500 firefighters and how many different agencies i don't know. multiple from throughout the state. the sheriff and i have talked earlier. we are estimating approximately 2,000.

>> for the ecificon that i'll turn it over to the sheriff. thank you. so to answer the question about evacuations. there are currently about 2,000 people that are under evacuation orders. that doesn't mean that all those people have evacuated. that was the point i was trying to get to earlier which is although you may feel prepared and better situated than two years ago, we still ask you to heed the evacuation orders and some didn't want to. we are going door to door and checking with everyone we can. we have had some resistance and i really want to stress and edge fa seitz to those people that in order for us to do our job and to allow cal fire and others to do their job, we need to clear the area so it is safe. it helps us fight the fire rather than worrying about rescuing someone from their home. >> any further questions?

>> yes, good question. we do have someone for spanish melissa. raise your hand. she is right here. you can speak one on one with her at the conclusion of this press conference. for the sheriff. so far the current power shut off has not affected our ability to evacuate people. one of the great things the sheriff's office learned from the pars -- if you're just joining us right now fire officials once again updating us on this kincaid fire that burned more than 10,000 acres, 0% con tainment. we have live team coverage on the fight against the fire, the evacuations and conditions crews are dealing with. >> we'll start with kpix 5 katie. we're in front of one of the homes that was destroyed. if you take a look you can see

what is left of the kitchen. there is a stove, you can see and an ironing board sticking up, the frame of a bed and you can sea the wash and drier in what is left of this house. the entire area under evacuation orders but we found one resident that walked through the vineyards to check on his house. >> which way are we going? >> sean is clearing away a tree limb brought down by strong overnight winds. he said he has lived here 16 years and has experienced fires in the hills before but nothing like this. >> come 5:30 in the morning, cal fire is banging on the dar with helmets and flashlights saying to get out. the fire was below that helicopter right now. it was coming down various pathways and the winds were the most remarkable. >> reporter: overnight winds were gusting up to 70 miles per hour on the ridge tops. fanning the fast moving flames. >> it was trying to get ahead of it throughout the whole

night so that is the biggest challenge in being able to do some firefighting without jumping over our lines so we need the winds to cooperate. >> reporter: once the sin came up, the winds did calm down enough for massive air tankers to drop lines of bright red fire retardant and damage assessments to begin. at least half >> dozen structures destroyed. complete burns as firefighters call it where every possible thing that can burn does leaving only metal remnants of furniture, appliances or cars. sean says she knows he is not supposed to be back in the evacuation zone but they had to leave so quickly they had to get their clothes so he walked

through to the house. as you heard from that press conference, evacuation orders still in place around the area. 2,000 people out of their homes right now. the big concern is the afternoon winds. if those winds pick up, cal fire is cob send that they won't have enough line around this fire to keep it contained. those winds still blowing from the north to south and so this fire continues to move so very important to stay up-to-date with all of the latest information. the firefight continues. thank you. >> >> chopper 5 has been over the fire. people are under mass evacuation orders. >> about 50 evacuees were sent tonight community center. that es where jackie ward joins us now live. jackie. >> reporter: kenny, the red cross says there are about 45 to 50 people here. they are using this space as a safe area away from the fire. many of them had to be removed

from their homes. earlier this morning they were ready. >> some people ingizezerville slept with one eye open in case they had to evacuate. >> we were all packed because we got the notifications a round midnight last night so we just preemptively started packing and making sure we had everything to get up and move if we needed to move. >> reporter: it is a good thing they did. they are under a mandatory evacuation order. he lives near 128. >> when i look the out and saw flames within 400 feet of my house, 400 yards of my house, it was tame to get out. >> reporter: this was the view after living through the tubs d pockfires he said he was ready to get out fast. >> the way fire is and so unpredictable, we had free time, we might as well being constructive and ready to go if, in fact, something got

crazy which it did. >> reporter: this was an unpleasant surprise again. >> two years ago, fire. i'm not coming here, again. >> this happened again. >> reporter: he said his house lost power 2 1/2 days ago so he didn't get any notification of the fire. he knew something was up when he smelled smoke. >> i had a flashlight. i was outside on my deck and i shined the flashlight down on the deck and i could see it was covered in ashes. so i went around the other side and i looked up and the hills behind us, i could see they were on fire. >> reporter: fortunately, there haven't been reports of injuries because the kincaid fire. you can see here food was dropped off. we have spoken to the american red cross who say they will remain here as long as people need it. jackie, thank you. we're also getting word of a fire spreading in west mur rin.

this is a live look that fire that has grown to 45 acres between stinson beach and muir beach and we have been told highway 1 is closed in that area. >> the sheriff's office there tweeted out a video of an aerial attack here. you can see that aircraft dropping some of that red fire retardant on to that area. there are ten engines on the ground and more fighting this. there are no struck chooser in that area so no evacuations there. mary lee has a closer look and a new heat advisory. >> that right. a lot to get to. now we are watching the winds ezekiel elliott easing. the problem is very low relative humidity values so the air is incredibly dry out there.

well. so far it is being held to about 3 acres. well pg&e has cut power in northern california counties during this high fire danger. he has been critical and spoke out about the ongoing shut offs. >> it is in future your rating beyond words to live in a state as innovative and extraordinarily entrepren new well and capable as the state of california to live where we are seeing this kind of disruption and these blackouts. it is about dog eat dog capitallism meeting climate change and corporate read meeting climate change and decades of miss management. >> 35,000 customers in napa and sonoma counties are without power now. another thousand in san mateo county are also without power. kpix 5 your r survival guide
