@RepThompson - Introducing new package of disaster relief bills.

But right now, check out his great Fire Recovery Guide - mikethompson.house.gov/FireRecovery20…

Plz save receipts if you evacuate. You can be reimbursed, too.

Chief Shana Jones - One of the teams - Team 3 - working the fire has worked 4 incidents since June and only 12 days off.

Chief Belya -
46,000 acres now for Glass Fire.

2% CONTAINED!! !!!!!!

Progress!!!

#GLASSFIRE #GLASSINCIDENT #GLASSFIREINCIDENT
Chief Belya - Air quality got worse in Napa Co. Good for fire growth (doesn't burn as fast when shaded by smoke) double edged sword - air support can't work due to visibility.

#GLASSFIRE #GLASSINCIDENT #GLASSFIREINCIDENT

Community of Angwin - Fire is at bay.
Some fire growth in Palisades area.
Some along westside of Valley along Hwy 29 moving up towards Diamond Mtn Rd.

No explosive growth we saw Sunday.

Chief Belyea -
Please evacuate. They had to rescue people. Please please leave.

His family had to evacuate during LNU - he knows how hard it is.

Getting out of harm's way is single most effective thing you can do.

#GLASSFIRE #GLASSINCIDENT #GLASSFIREINCIDENT

@NapaSheriff - The Governor signed order that the Hi-Lo siren is now the "official" evacuation siren used throughout the state.

#GLASSFIRE #GLASSINCIDENT #GLASSFIREINCIDENT
When can we start re-populating evacuated areas?

When it's safe. When infrastructure if secure/fixed/safe.

Can't say when it will start. We had new evacs today.

#GLASSFIRE #GLASSINCIDENT #GLASSFIREINCIDENT
Napa Sheriff - Area still dangerous.
Telephone poles burning from center and burning down.
Trees falling down. Spot fires throughout area.

County Rd is running equipment to keep roads clear for fire crews.

#GLASSFIRE #GLASSINCIDENT #GLASSFIREINCIDENT
Other updates
-Fire is not impacting City of Calistoga. Burning close though. Working to keep it away.
-Deer Park was heavily impacted, resources still working to extinguish hot spots and patrol structures

#GLASSFIRE #GLASSINCIDENT #GLASSFIREINCIDENT
Angwin remains top priority.

Doesn't mean we are neglecting other areas of the fire.

#GLASSFIRE #GLASSINCIDENT #GLASSFIREINCIDENT

My question - Where is the 2% containment??

Believed to be in portion fo Sonoma County. (We'll see in map in AM)
