what it looks like from our camera near highway 4. a lot of smoke. cal fire is sending two air tankers, a helicopter, and firefighters to the scene. it is called the loma fire, it started around 4:00 p.m. this afternoon. this is a map of where the fire is burning. do we have that map? we can tell you it is on the south side of antioch and there are homes in the area and some of the homes are being threatened, although the fire is still a good distance away. again, that fire is spreading. our chief meteorologist bill martin right now. this is just the beginning of a serious fire season. >> yeah. we had that conversation yesterday. [ talking at the same time ] >> talked about it last night, couple warm days here, 4 year drought and fires will start springing up and we are seeing some. some in southern california, now antioch. here the deal. first thing you notice is there

is wind out there. not what you expect for this time of night. the winds in the antioch area are gusting to 15, 18. that is nothing for this time of day and year. the winds are not thad horrible. a look -- are not that horrible. a look here. antioch area, low 90s. right? dealing perhaps with humidities up above where you expect. high fire danger. winds gusting in fairfield 18. that is one of the heavier locations. concord, 13. sandwich in between here talking 15 miles per hour winds. gusts. you can see winds in the bay area as well. let's go back to the live camera shot. smoke. there is not a lot of blow off from that fire. the smoke is getting blown towards the east to the north.

as it goes up it is going the other way. the winds are reasonable for firefighters in the area. the thing is, we talked about it last night, heck, a four year drought, fuel moisture is low, and this is the kind -- [ talking at the same time ] >> you can see how dry it is. >> oh, my gosh, yeah, yeah. it is -- it is not a nasty fire condition day but you get something like this, which is what we will experience this year. >> temperatures are -- [ talking at the same time ] >> we could be look at this moving forward. >> as we get towards tomorrow this area, that could be 104 degrees out there. not 93 degrees. >> again, this is in the park, started on homestead trail. there are some homes you can see them there in the picture, criss tina r is on the -- cristina rendon is on the phone, on the way to the fire. >> reporter: we can see this smoke growing by the minute. when we first spotted it we were in bay point.

we followed it here. i can see the hills thereat on fire. there is a definite -- large portion that is on fire. we can also see air support over head. we see two planes that come to help out and drop water on the fire. it is growing fast. we are in a neighborhood right now, i believe the streets are silverado drive. this is a residential area in antioch. and the homes are too far from where the fire is burning. [ talking at the same time ] >> reporter: we do know they did evacuate the park area there. they said they wanted to get the people out, all the cars out. this is a fast spreading fire. we were talking to firefighters on twitter, they were keeping us updated saying it was 100 acres and growing, it was

burning near the contraloma regional park. all i can tell you is we are driving to the fire, trying to get as close as we can and it is spreading quickly. two planes are trying to attack this thing. hopefully they get it contained and it can burn itself out. from a half hour ago when we heard about it it was 5 acres and now it is 100 acres. it is picking up even though the winds are not that bad. everything is so dry out here. the drought, hot out here today. temperatures are hot. no surprise it is going quick. >> it you tell, is there any wind out there? i am trying to get a sense how far you would estimate you are, it didn't look like anybody was packing up and driving away. >> reporter: no. we are fairly close -- how far

would you say we are from the fire? >> we are about a mile, i think, from where the fire is. there are people in this area that have come out of their homes, looking up from their yards and looking at the smoke spread. it is not that windy. it is not that windy but you can see the smoke lingering into the wind. but it is more so of the people that are outside looking -- you know, the fire is spreading fast. even though it is not that windy. people are just concerned. as soon as we get information on whether or not the areas are being evacuated we will let you know. >> you gather information, we will come back to you. a recap, a wildfire, a grass fire burning right now in the contra loma regional park area of antioch. we are hearing 100 acres, maybe

he said it was great watching it -- [ talking at the same time ] >> reporter: cool. >> it was an amazing, uplifting thing for the city. so all the best. thank you. now back to developing news from antioch. what all of us were worried about given the drought and the summer and the hot weather and the dry conditions. a neighborhood in antioch. you can see the smoke in the background. you can see the fire burning as well. looks like the wind picked up a little bit. at last estimate 100 acres had burned. let's bring in cristina rendon now. where exactly are you and -- and how close -- sometimes it is difficult to tell from the camera because it is zoomed in, how far away are the flames? >> reporter: we are a mile away from the flames in this area. corner of glendale circle and silverado drive and this is an area that is called -- i think

the mera vista neighborhood. people will be evacuated very soon here. and those people will be coming to this park, that is called mera vista hills. there is air support out here trying to get a handle on the flames. we counted three. you can see it right there. coming down. on this fire. we counted three airplanes. but 5 in total should be working this. two more should be on the way. this is an area that has a lot of residential homes, if you look down that way, that is glendale circle. homes go further back towards contra loma regional park. that is probably why officials are trying to get everybody out of the area and down to the park here in the neighborhood.

again, the park is called contra loma regional park. that is what we are hearing from sources. you said it looks like the wind is picking up, you are right. the fire is fast moving. last check it was 100 acres. it is growing by the minute. and everyone is trying to get a handle on it. the airplane there, the helicopter, that is cal fire. cal fire had their crews come up from morgan hill to fight the fire. more help is on the way. not only from cal fire but east bay regional park. right there. a fire truck shown up at the end of glendale circle. everything is unfolding as we speak and the fire is fast moving. you can see a lot of people outside of their homes, looking up at the smoke, at the flames. no one on the street has been told to evacuate but that is what we are hearing. everyone needs to get out, find safe ground.

it is fast approaching the back portion of the homes. hopefully the winds stays where it doesn't threaten the homes but they are being evacuated. if you know anyone in this areas, in antioch, glean dale circle, silverado drive, they might want to get to safe ground and go to the park here. >> real quick, earlier you said they were considering evacuations now they are evacuating people? >> reporter: right. earlier we didn't know if they were evacuated anyone or not. we were told it was in the contra loma regional park. and then as we got closer, we realized this is close to homes. they are at the edge of the contra loma regional park. we started hearing from law enforcement officials and from sources within the community that yes, they need to get people out. and we are told they are being sent to mirra vista hills in

antioch. now that we see how close it is, it makes sense they are getting people out. >> we can see people talking and they look like they are gathering stuff. we see the air tankers, the helicopters, the air support, we saw that one fire truck that pulled up in the neighborhood there. on the hill, can you see firefighters at all? ground crews up there closer to the names? >> reporter: no. i can't. i cannot see any ground crews at all. only air support. right now it seems that crew is trying to get their way in but they have long way to get there. right now it is just air support. crews are on their way. >> our chief meteorologist now, bill, what do you see? >> i see conditions that could be worse. it is blowing out there, 15, 16 miles per hour. do you know what the winds were last night? 35 miles per hour. this is a light wind situation for antioch.

it is unusually cool too. temperatures in the low 90s. humidity 20%. what do i think? dodging a bullet. that is open space. it is brush. i guarantee you the firefighters have a perimeter built around this thing. when you look at the terrain, that is doable. [ talking at the same time ] >> it looks to me -- fire burns up hill. that fire is already burning back on itself. this is what i can see. i can't see the other side. the fire was on the west side of the homes then the smoke -- notice how they are not all smoky, the fire appears to be going the other way. again, it is dangerous. a fire. it is scary. the neighborhood needs to be aware. we have seen -- remember that

vacaville fire, the winds blowing 35 -- that is when -- that is a firestorm. this is doable situation for firefighters. i think based on the air support we saw, the fire trucks, guarantee you they got it surrounded. they are probably letting it burn back on itself. >> i know you say they are 15 miles per hour winds but it is having an impact. how likely is it the winds could shift and push the flames towards the homes? >> they create their own weather. in this case the fire wants to burn uphill. if it is burning hot enough the air rises and creates a thermal low and high pressure air flows into it. you get winds coming at all angles. there is no one direction but the prevailing wind is northwest, which would appear to be driving it away from the homes. i don't have all the specifics

on where they are located. my thought is, this looks doable to me. >> we want to let viewers know, this is a fire in antioch. broke out a short time ago. in the mera vista hills neighborhood. near glendale circle and silverado drive. cristina rendon could see a couple fire trucks on the scene to help with the neighborhood. the flames we can see some over the hill and look like moving closer and closer to the homes. people are getting ready to evacuate the neighborhood. >> the thing -- as -- as the day goes on, closer to the evening here, the winds accelerate. the winds we have now, 15 miles per hour winds, that is nothing. next two hours the winds would be blowing 35 miles per hour -- [ talking at the same time ]

>> the observation in that area, the official observation is showing gusts to 15. >> cal fire sent out air tankers and bulldozer, helicopters helicopters and ground crews working together to protect the homes. >> looking at the picture again, if this neighborhood was -- of course they need to be careful but you would see a more intense fire -- firefighter presence on this street. >> this is what we worried about. we will continue a follow this story. a fire burning out of control right now in antioch. near the mera vista hills area. evacuations underway. you can see a lot of firefighters, helicopters, planes on the scene here working to battle the fire. more after this break. also ahead, climbing one of the

the fire, the flames may be burning away from those homes which would be good news here. you can see all those people out there, anytime you are in the neighborhood of a fire, this is what we worry about in a drought, anytime you are near a fire it is concerning. all these people keeping an eye on which direction this fire is burning. bill, you have new information -- [ talking at the same time ] >> just a visual. if you can take my graphic. take a peak here. i can show you what we have. live pictures from the scene. you see the smoke from the san francisco camera. we have temperature 95 out there. winds northwest. 10 miles per hour. there is gusts to 15. it creates its own deal. i want to show you where the fire is. it is in this area here. on this ilside. what we have. this is a ridge line.

the winds are blowing this way. basically. winds blowing this way. clearly it is blowing away from the homes. what we are seeing, we are seeing the fire burning up to the ridge line and stopping. this area in here has burned. there is a lot of areas burned. it is not very populated. that is open space. those homes look it be in good shape. >> when fires burn up to the ridge line what happens, will the fire back up and die out -- [ talking at the same time ] >> yeah. especially the fire burning up the ridge. you can see that ridge line there. burning up but the smoke is blowing this way but the fire can't burn down the bridge. it wants to follow the oxygen. to get to the homes it has to

go down hill and against the winds. >> cristina rendon now. i imagine you talked with the people there -- you talked to the people, we have seen them on the sidewalk watching this, how worried are they? >> reporter: very concerned. no one has told them evacuations are mandatory. we said we heard people may be getting evacuated to mira vista park, next to the homes. right now we are told that is just a volunteer evacuation -- similarity evacuation -- voluntary evacuation. no mandatory evacuations yet. people are concerned. they are looking, wondering whether or not they should pack up and leave. i would say the safe bet is to do that but it is not mandatory. if that changes we will let people know.

we did see -- [no audio] >> can you hear us? we lost you for a second. apparently -- >> reporter: we did see a firefighter crew go up there into the park, the area where the fire is burning. they have started the attack on the ground as well as in the air. we saw the retardant being dropped. it appears the priority here is to stop the fire from spreading towards the homes. and make sure the homes and people are safe. >> you have been out there for 45 minutes or so, can you describe any difference with the flames, with the fire, with the direction, the smoke, it looks like it is getting better. >> reporter: it is getting better. the smoke is still blowing in the same direction. if we can pan to the right. towards had hills. i want to show you infire

spread further back -- the fire spread firth back, pittsburg direction. the fire spread back that way towards the park. away from homes. but there are still homes close to the area. the flames have died down from our view of the park. we have no idea what is on the other side if the fire is spreading into contra loma regional park. >> as we watch your pictures, firefighters are letting a lot of this burn itself out. we saw a aerial map, what is out there, what is burning, nothing but dry brush in the way of the fire. this is going back. on a scale of 1-10, it is a fire, it is scary. not a good thing but in this

area it could be out of control. winds are 15 miles per hour now -- [ talking at the same time ] >> they will pick up tonight. these guys -- that air support is massive. they had the tanker in there, water drops. >> working the ridge. going back and forth to protect the homes. >> i look at terrain, when we see a fire situation, when you see terrain, they will get a handle. there are fire roads, they will knock it down. everyone is worried because fires are scary. in terms of a 1-10, it is a fire but not something -- like that vacaville deal. >> we caught a break in the sense of the winds are pushing the fire away from the homes. there are a lot of homes in this area. you get a sense of -- it is windy out there but maybe 15 miles per hour or so? >> see if they will take that
