forest service says some of these fires burning north of us have the potential to burn into early december. that's because of how dry everything is because of the drought. >>> as these fires continue to burn you can keep an eye on the air quality in your neighborhood going to our website, click on check your air on the trending bar at the top and then put in your location on the map and it will tell you the air quality where you live. >>> firefighters continue to controls the cache fire in lake county where 50 homes are destroyed, but an amazing story of survival involving one family's pet. here's "today in the bay's" marianne favro. >> reporter: after the cache fire record through lake county at this all that's left of rodney gehlen's motor home. >> roared right through. >> reporter: the second time in ha days fire destroyed his home. he was living in the rv after his clearlake home burned last month. as flames closed in on rodney's rv he scrambled to gather his three dogs, tying each one up so he could focus on one at a time. the wind driven fire was moving too fast. rodney says police s

burn homes as far as you can see. 360 degrees of burned homes. even across the street 100 yards away, more burn homes and burnt propane tanks, so when they say 25 or 30 homes burned, based on what we are seeing here, it may be worse. the cash prior -- the cache fire rolled through here. we spoke with one of the people who live in this mobile home park. he was on thehe had only the clt it was just like it was a flash flyer. i did not have any warning. had to get out. sally flames coming up behind my place. just loaded up my dogs and my family and got out of there. not much warning. none at all. >> how fast was it moving? >> moving very fast. they were about two to four feet high, the flames. gone, all gone up here. it is ash. i don't even recognize it. wayne: now you are looking at even more damage. as we walked through here, it remains a dangerous. . to our right, we have seen sheriff's deputies driving through here. a moment ago, there there theree one pet, one dog wandering through who appeared to be all right, but they are trying to get that d

a large fire burned into the community. lake county has suffered tremendously, and we have yet to gain back the housing stock that was last. in the valley fire late 2015. in fact, early next year we're about to break ground just a mile away from this fire on 100 unit affordable housing conflict that will rehouse families that lost their homes in 2015. it's devastating. there's a lot of trauma, a lot of ptsd and i got to tell you. uh that said the residents of lake county rally when their neighbors are in need, and sheriff martin. all the firefighters on the ground. they responded quickly, and that's that the whole focus right now we've got to jump on these fires quickly, with both ground and air attack, and especially in a year like this weren't so dry if we don't get on these fires quickly and with sustained heavy resources. they're going to get out of hand. you know, senator, the sheriff just moments ago was was talking to us about the chaotic scenes on some of the busy highways there as folks tried to evacuate the area,

it's been burning for weeks. now the wind certainly seems to be a factor for the dixie fire and caldor fire which took off overnight. we have new video coming to you in the next half hour. >> so devastating to see another fire breaking out. thank you for following it for us. >>> strong winds are expected in northern california meaning pg&e is shutting off power to some people. three bay area counties are among 18 total that could be affected by the utility's public safety power shutoffs. now those counties are napa, solano, and sonoma. >> pg&e says roughly 40,000 could lose power with most of them in butte and shasta counties. but a small number of customers in parts of napa, solano and sonoma could be impacted. >>> we want to bring in meteorologist kari hall who has been tracking these dangerous conditions and how is it looking. >> we just had this -- all of this area shaded in red upgraded to a red flag warning that includes parts of the marin county and napa and sonoma counties and the east bay hills. this goe

some parts of this area been have burned in the last few years. but other spots haven't been touched by flames for decades. cal fire says that added with a lack of moisture in the plants and the soil is allowing the counter fire to burn in ways they've never seen. here are the latest numbers from cal fire's website. more than a 117,000 acres have burned since the first fire started 10 days ago, 632 buildings have been destroyed at least 34 others have been damaged. the fire is currently 9% contained which may not sound like much, but that's up from 4% since yesterday. that tuition orders to remain in place for parts of eldorado county and just to the south of the fire. we're talking around down many people living in amador county remain on standby as an evacuation warning there is in effect. as for the tahoe basin itself. cal fire chief thom porter says while the fire is not expected to spread that far. they are not ruling anything out. and so i personally don't believe the fire is going to get into the base and proper. but that could i could be f

it's burning.sentially south of clearly and is forcing evacuations in both clear lake and in lower lake, joining us now to talk more about the cash fire is jonathan cox. he's the deputy chief for cal fire and jonathan. we got we've got the massive dixie fire still burning out of control. we've got the huge cal door fire still burning with zero percent containment and now we have the cash fire. how bad is this new fire? yeah well, thanks, frank. really this new fire that broke out this afternoon was an example of kind of one of those fast moving fires and what we call the wild and urban interface. it was a fire that burned in lake county fire protection district there down in the lower lakes, part of lake county. that is, unfortunately very familiar with fire the concern we have right now is just making sure we keep all fires small. we have over 10,000 firefighters on the line across california, and there's hundreds of miles of open fire line in the in the northern part of the state right now, so we

because it's impossible that after yesterday's fire that everything is burning again, burning whatever's left. we came to the high ground to try to get a sense of how bad this fire really is. and for the last several hours, we've watched it get bigger and bigger. spreading wider and faster the water dropping planes and helicopters seemingly have little to no effect on the blaze. as the fire spreads closer and closer to build up populated areas. and now we can see that the town of korean airy is burning on the ground. the fire didn't stop there. the aircraft that have been dropping water over the fires, i've only about another hour to go to be able to operate safely to try to put out those claims. but the heat is so high over the fires that the water has been evaporating before it's been hitting. the ground to the helicopters have been flying lower and lower to try to get to the fires to try to get as close as possible. to put out these claims. all people can do it seems just watch the hills burn and wondered perhaps if their homes might be next off, the bush and vinny thought over what i

and burning up the charts and we are burning up for that forecast today. >> okay. work this morning. we're going to start out with some better air quality. yesterday was smoky and we're seeing some moderate air quality right now. some of that smoke coming in. look at what happens as we go into this afternoon. yeah, clears out and it's going to move off towards the east and away from the bay area for a little while. we better take it in and enjoy it because we see changes in our air quality as well as smoke especially tomorrow afternoon. we see some bright rez which means unhealthy air quality as we go into tomorrow as these fires are still burning and even new ones starting and exploding in the size and also how much smoke is putting up into the atmosphere. and so we're going to monitor that unfortunately. we also have a high fire danger here in the bay area and so if you haven't gotten an alert already make sure you check if you're under this psps where you may have your pour shut off starting tonight and continuing into tomorrow as the winds pick up and we are al

forest service says some of those fires burning north of us have the potential to burn into december. that's because of how dry everything is because of the drought. today firefighters issued new evacuation orders for the sugarloaf areas, as the state's largest fire continues to rage. the dixie fire has burned 715,000 acres. crews are not gaining ground. it's still at 35% containment, it was 31% a week ago. more than 1,200 homes and buildings have burned. you can keep an eye on the air quality in your neighborhood, go to nbcbayarea.com and click on "check your air" and put your address in the map. >>> now to the latest out of afghanistan. the u.s. embassy now warning americans not to travel to kabul airport without specific instructions from u.s. leaders. the troops are trying to maintain calm as thousands of people arrive every day trying to get out of the country. in the last 24 hours, there have been 30 flights evacuating 3,800 people, bringing the total number to 17,000 since last saturday. >> i think we've been very honest about the fact that we know that we're fighting against b

it's burning about 150 miles south of greenville in placer and koufax. 1,400 acres have burned.est challenge right now is try to go stay ahead of some of the spot fires. >>> happening now smoke from the wildfires expected to roll into the bay area soon. this is a live look outside across the bay area this morning. today in the bay's bob riddell live in dublin. should people be concerned, bob? >> reporter: no, fortunately, laura, this smoke and haze are expected to stay high in the sky, and what you are looking is the fog, and that's not the smoke and the haze we are expected to see. the bay area air quality district management issued a air advisory for today and tomorrow. this is time lapse, by the way, what you are looking at of the river fire burning near koufax. as you can see on the map from cal fire, there are a number of fires burning throughout the state, and the reason i mentioned it's expected to fuel the smoke here in the bay area, you have three different fires. the winds are expected to push the smoke into marin, sonoma and solano and contra costa. with more on our w

at last update the fire has burned more than 2400 acres. cal fire warns the fire fight is difficult because of staffing shortages from other fires that are burning. this is new video just into our newsroom. an ambulance making its way to the area. sources tell us at least one person has been burned so far. >>> good morning to you. i'm marcus washington. >> there is certainly a lot going on this morning. i'm laura garcia. we'll check in with mike in a moment. want to check in with meteorologist kari hall tracking the really dangerous conditions out there. >> we have the winds starting to kick up in that area as well as some of the smoke coming in, so as you're heading out the door this morning, looking a little smoky, these dots show our air quality sensors and the yellow shows some moderate air quality and around the area of the fire, of course, very unhealthy air quality right now. we're going to monitor that smoke as our temperatures actually cool off. we will have a stronger westerly wind coming off the ocean helping to cool us off aroun

we're told it has burned 75 acres. and at last check anyway, 0% contained. >> joining us live now for the latest on this fire and others going on in lake county is the sheriff brian martin, sheriff, thank you for joining us at this very busy time. you've got a lot going on in your county. why don't we start with the fire that we seem to hear is that you get that they're getting a handle on. can you update us on that fire for says at the one at clear lake. >> yes, it is. it's cache creek fire. as you said, it's about 75 acres. that's our best estimate right now. probably looking at several dozen homes have been completely destroyed. >> we see behind me the. fire activity. this pressure activity still ongoing. it's 0% containment. however, they have stopped forward progress. so that means that there's still a lot of area within those 75 acres. it's actively burning. there are homes within that area that have not damaged destroyed yet. so we're making sure that they remain so and i think it's going to go well into the nig

we're going to see fires burning 6 times the amount of land that they burn today. that is really quite dramatic in a state that is already burning quite a lot. right, so just to be care the climate effects that we see now. and these extreme weather passions, it's the accumulation of 20 to 30 years of pollution and combine emissions. anything that we do now would baths come into effect in, in years from now, perhaps 2030 years from now? it sort of depends on which current impact you're talking about. certain impacts are affected more quickly and more immediately. others take longer to unfold. but in general, we are already in the danger zone. we are already looking at a world that has been utterly transformed the planet is already warmer than it has ever been in the entire history of human civilization. which means that everything we've built on this of that old climate. now we need to reconsider or rebuild or replace in order to live in this new one, which may be getting hotter still in the decades ahead. likely will be getting hotter still in the decades ahead, wh
