0% contained

That's the entire incident. Sonoma and Napa.

(Started 10 minutes late. Sorry. )

Smoky skies mean that there isn't a lot of air movement - lo wind. Bad for air quality, good for firefighting.

Firefighters working double shifts due to lack of resources w/25 fires burning.

Fire made it to Oakmont early Am and Annadel.
Crews saving as many homes as the could - “Saved far more than they lost.”

#SHADYFIRE #GLASSFIRE #GLASSINCIDENT
First arrest made. 17 year old hoping fences near Maria Carillo High School. Arrested in a backyard.

Informal damage surveys are starting. But, formal survey will start soon when safe by CAL FIRE.
socoemergency.org has all the resources you may need.

Per @RepHuffman - Save receipts if you have to evacuate and pay money - you can get reimbursements if you were evacuated (i.e. hotels, gas, etc). Few hundreds buck. SAVE RECEIPTS!

#SHADYFIRE #GLASSFIRE #GLASSINCIDENT
Per @ilike_mike - If you did lose your home contact your insurance company IMMEDIATELY.

So many fires could mean delays. Get process started now!

Supervisor Gorin (who lost her home in 2017 fire and new one still isn't finished being built) - "This is all too familiar for us" in Sonoma County.

#SHADYFIRE #GLASSFIRE #GLASSINCIDENT #SONOMACOUNTY
Supervisor Gorin is currently evacuated, too. If you need anything and you're in her district you can email her at susan.gorin@sonoma-country.org.

Mayor Tom in Santa Rosa - Residents needing shelter should go to temporary evac points and you can get shelter referral (i.e. hotel vouchers). Go to socoemergency.org for list.

#SHADYFIRE #GLASSFIRE #GLASSINCIDENT #SONOMACOUNTY
Mayor Tom in Santa Rosa - PLEASE CONSERVE WATER. Do not leave sprinklers on. Do not use unnecessary water. City of Santa Rosa must limit water use for sake of water pressure due to firefighting efforts.

#SHADYFIRE #GLASSFIRE #GLASSINCIDENT #SONOMACOUNTY
68,000 people evacuated

@MaryCallahanB asked if we should expect more evacuations? Sheriff's Dept doesn't know. Doesn't think but doesn't want to be held to that.

#SHADYFIRE #GLASSFIRE #GLASSINCIDENT #SONOMACOUNTY
Majority of structures destroyed were last night per CAL FIRE. Wind dies down during day, less ember cast. No word on amount of structures damaged/destroyed/etc yet.
