8:01 pm
fast and furious in american canyon. it has already grown to 150 acres. we are even hearing reports of people smelling smoke as far away as oakland. here's a look at what we know right now. american canyon road is shut down because of this fire evacuation warnings east of highway 29 or broadway. now in effect right now, those are just warnings. we're staying in contact with officials and we will let you know as soon as that changes or if those warnings are lifted. and here's a closer look at where the fire is burning happening near newell drive has not far from american canyon high school. you can actually see on the map. broadway street all evacuation warnings are to the east of broadway street. you can also see where american canyon road is. and again right now that road a major thoroughfare is closed because of the fire. >> this is a time lapse video this evening of how things looked within the last hour or
8:02 pm
so when we first or last left you on kron 4 news at 6. we want to talk live now with cal fire about the situation that is unfolding in american canyon tonight. joining us to discuss more about the scene that is unfolding is eric hernandez with cal fire. erica, thanks so much for joining us here on kron, 4 news at 8. >> can you hear us? all right. maybe we're waiting to get that connection. going while we do that, we do have this new video showing the fire from the canyon area is the canyon ridge. apartments in american canyon are close by. the view is from the backyard facing the training area. now. >> you know those folks who are in that particular area. they're just dealing with obviously this fire has just grown just very rapidly in the last hours soap. and when we last left you on kron 4 news at 6. we're still trying to figure out exactly how many acres are burning. we're hearing anywhere from 40 acres
8:03 pm
now we've learned that this is now grown to a 150 acres and even worse, those folks in that area are without power because of the power safety, public safety power shut-offs from pg and e. let's check in with our chief meteorologists about weather conditions in the area of the fire right now while we're waiting to get cal fire on the line watching these winds. we've seen those gusts over 30 miles per hour this afternoon. they have. >> subsided a little bit. we're still gusting over 20 miles per hour. you can see will drive is located. you can see american canyon drive, but overall the winds have been coming from the north northwest. and so that's a dangerous wind at this time you're seeing those winds travel on the mound here, of course, is going play with the departure probably begin to twist in and around some of the mountain topography here. but you're seeing these winds blowing in this direction. and so, yeah, the fire certainly has a chance to spread into some of the urban areas in and around that area. so that's why they're evacuating some of
8:04 pm
those just to the east of 29 there those areas are the places that are closest to that fire and can be affected in around that fire. now the winds are going to continue switch around even though we're seeing more of the northerly component to that win. there's nothing to say that all of us and we can see a quick drivers of a northeasterly wind and then all of a sudden you've got a whole nother problem that starts to bring that fire back in this direction. and so that's we don't want to have we haven't seen that happen just yet. but that certainly that possibility in these kind of conditions. and that will bring that right back in to many of the urban areas in and around those homes extremely dangerous fire conditions continuing there as we head through the evening hours with that active fire and more winds expected overnight tonight. now not only there. we're seeing strong gusty winds across the entire bay area. in fact, across almost all of california that northerly wind has kicked in. this is traditionally that time of year where historically we've had some
8:05 pm
seeing some of our worst fires in the bay area. and in california has some of the fires are quick get going. and once they start, they can spread quite rapidly in these kind of conditions and the couple with that, of course, we've got the drought years and years of all that fuel kind of building many of these areas. so red flag warnings do bet posted up across much of the bay area in the north bay into the east bay. also now including the santa cruz mountains expecting those gusty winds, maybe as high as 60 maybe 70 mile an hour gusts. i think across some of the mountain peaks near knapp and say molina possibly toward the diablo range overnight tonight. but it has been very gusty all around the bay area. in fact, here's the very latest forecast on some of those winds. expecting those winds to continue tonight. now it's going to be interesting down below in some of the urban areas, those winds may back off just a little bit. now that said, look at all that purple that begins to show they're not just northeast of napa. those are some of those stronger winds,
8:06 pm
those offshore winds likely to % develop the mountain tops there, 50, maybe even 60, maybe even 70 mile an hour gusts across some of those mountain ranges that continues overnight tonight into early tomorrow morning. may subside just a little bit. in fact, may back off just a little bit as we head in toward the middle of the morning then all of a sudden it starts to ramp back up again about 10 o'clock or so another impulse of strong gusty dry air rolls back into the bay area and that will keep the fire danger could going not only in the north bay but also in the east bay and into the santa cruz mountains as well. i think by the afternoon things finally will begin to subside as it looks like those winds will become more westerly and that means we'll start to see more of the moisture content that runs a lot higher from that ocean air that should begin to subside any of the fire danger around the bay area. but right now it looks like exceeding fire danger throughout the night tonight and into the day tomorrow. i think by tomorrow afternoon we can breathe a sigh relief. but tonight there's an active fire and dangerous fire conditions continued around much of the
8:07 pm

8:13 pm
attack options because the visibility and whatnot as lawrence mentioned earlier, this is a red flag warning that we remain in this area and across huge chunks of the of the bay area. it's breezy and dry out here right now. we've heard a dozer crews that are up there on the hillside here. we've also heard the faint sound chainsaws. so crews still very busy out there trying to cut those fire lines. we know that there is evacuation warnings that are in place and that's for the areas that are east of broadway highway 29, we know between watson lane, american canyon road and many drive for us as we were driving here from the berkeley hills about an hour ago up highway 80. you can see the large plumes of smoke that we're making their way across the freeway. of course, certainly got people pumping the brakes along the freeway, taking a look at and all the smoke that was moving through. we've heard from people on throughout our viewing area, especially in the east bay as far as oakland saying that there are set smelling the smoke people in

was broad waste fraud way on a highway 29 there in american canyon. yeah, we just got off the phone officials with cal fire who now say that. >> 150 acres have burned just looking at the cal fire website. they're now saying that this is at 25% containment. so erick hernandez with cal fire was telling us a few moments ago. they were making good progress on trying to contain and it seems s they are doing so no injuries reported. no structures damaged. they were saying that this is a pretty remote area. but still very close to a number in american canyon some homes and some. schools and other areas in that particular section of napa county. that is the situation that is unfolding right now. we do want to go to kron. 4 chief meteorologist lawrence karnow tracking the very latest. a wind that are being felt right now. that area. yeah. it's subside a little bit. that's the good news. we have some a gust over
8:20 pm
30, even 36 miles per hour in that area. and firefighters will tell you that once those winds exceed about 40 miles an hour. so they just kind of back away. they don't try to stop the fire. they just try to save the people that might be involved and that kind of situation. we haven't reached that point tonight, but it's still a very, very active a very dangerous situation with those winds blowing over 18, even 20 miles an hour. >> in and around an active fire like put up here on the screen to you can see the areas shaded in red. that's actually where the red flag warning is located. this place is just outside of that. nonetheless, you get those winds that are blowing in that area and anywhere around the bay area and you get those nice dry grass fields while that thing can get a pretty explosive in a hurry. so people are evacuating. now. they're evacuating people. you can see along parts 29 right here, right along this location. and also you can see american canyon road. they're evacuating in this area here generally as they're trying to people away from what could be a change in the wind direction
8:21 pm
right now winds are moving mainly to a northeasterly direction in this direction right here. should that change, though. and i'm seeing on my computer models of the winds are going to want to switch their go on to become more northerly overnight tonight and that's why it's so important for these firefighters to really get a firm grip on this fire overnight tonight by late tonight, about 3 o'clock in the morning or so. all the winds start to do this. that's not what we want to see. that would blow that fire. all those hot embers back toward a populated area where there are numerous homes where people live. that's not what we want to see happen tonight. right it's still active. they've still got long ways to go. it's good that they made some headway on this. but again, there's a very, very dry area as well. so overnight tonight it's not only them that we're concerned about that as much of the bay area. here's the very latest on our forecast model with some of the fire danger up and you can see places inland parts of the east bay and also the north bay looking for some higher fire danger overnight tonight. it does begin to subside with

american canyon. you can see all the smoke carrying a cross. the freeway there making its way into some of the communities people telling us as far as oakland that they were smelling smoke. we have heard from multiple fire crews throughout contra. costa alameda and what not that they are all clear that there isn't any fires that are burning in those areas. it's simply just smoke that's been blowing through getting carried over from here in american canyon. people and allay also saying that they were smelling the smoke because it's been burning just about 5 miles from the border between the late how an american canyon as we've just learned a short while ago, just before the break that the evacuation east of broadway highway 29 have been lifted. so people are able to go back into those but american canyon road will remain closed at least for the foreseeable future. it's also dark out here right now. so crews have some progress. 25 1% containment on this. but eric tack options have been limited because of how dark it is out here. for people that
8:33 pm
are that are in these areas. this is the warnings and the things that we have keep in mind when we are in a red flag warning stages, of course, because we have the drought that's going on. so there's a lot of dry conditions. there's also that the windy conditions to make sure that you have go bags packed, make sure that your heeding the warnings from fire officials. they've been, of course, out here working diligently to make sure that they're prepared for situations like this. of course, when you hear a fire breaking out during a red flag warning. you're saying yourself, oh, my goodness. this is the worst thing that could happen at this point. but again, a lot of fire crews are out here mutual aid out here. we've been hearing that dozers cutting fire lines up there. on know preserve. we've also seen people out there working without chain saws. just that we can hear some right now just cutting down any of the dry brush and trees that are in that area. a lot of the fuels you know, that this fire can just simply to through. but just to sort of wrap it up here. again, we're at 25%. containment 100. 50
