LIVE TWEETS CAL FIRE PRESS CONFERENCE FOR #GLASSFIRE #GLASSFIREINCIDENT #GLASSINCIDENT ๐Ÿ‘‡

I will post new information - that is information that I haven't posted in the past 24 hours - in this thread. ๐Ÿ‘‡
#GLASSFIRE
Damage inspection has begun. No map available yet.

New evacuations warnings in St Helena - check map here: tinyurl.com/NapaEvacsClosuโ€ฆ
#GLASSFIRE
More crews have arrived due to concerns about weather changes.

Fire activity NE of Calistoga - hand crews and dozers in place. Steep terrain. Very hard to work.

Angwin - Has not been impinged by fire. Working around community to establish control lines.
#GlassFire
Silverado Trl - Some significant hotspots on Trail and Hwy 29 corridor. Burned through Napa River. Some fire burning through vineyards but not all worked as fire breaks.

White Hall Ln - warnings and evacs in place. There will be a firing operation to tie into Sonoma
#GlassFire
Good firing operations in on Sugarloaf. Not out of the clear yet due to wind tomorrow.

Good success holding fire along Calistoga Rd.

Fire remains active near Diamond Mtn.
#GlassFire
Officers are patrolling burn areas in Santa Rosa. No looting or burglaries in the City of Santa Rosa per Police Chief.
#GlassFire
Santa Rosa Police Chief - Evac orders remain in place in many areas and it's "unlawful" for you to be there. City police are patrolling and you sneaking in wastes their time.

No re-entry passes being distributed.
#GlassFire
Santa Rosa Fire Dept Fire Chief -
Oakmont update - Lots of tactical patrol in and around area and Hwy 12. Hot spots in area.

Calistoga Rd - Hotspots still active. Tactical patrol.

Wind event is "serious" tomorrow. Be ready to leave if asked.
#GlassFire
Don't mow your lawn. Don't build campfires. Don't do anything that could risk any fires tomorrow, please.

Pro tips on what not to do during Red Flag warnings: socoemergency.org/prepare/local-โ€ฆ
#GlassFire
Sheriff Essick - 5 people were arrested who re-entered into an evacuation zone. No burglaries or looting. Apprehended before anything happened.

Sheriff is patrolling and protecting your properties.
#GlassFire
They're going to be doing a lot of work around City of Calistoga, Hwy 29 corridor. They are concerned about the wind event. Similar to what we saw three days ago.

"Preparing for worst case scenario" says CAL FIRE.
#GlassFire
Q: Any concerns about fire moving to Mark West drainage and Tubbs Fire scar?

A: Lighter fuels means easier for crews to suppress, but, still receptive - any ash fall could be worrisome. Weather event unlikely to cause any impact. Building control lines now.
#GlassFire
Fire crossed Diamond Mtn and is up hillside above Calistoga. Area in region hasn't burned in a long time so very active.
#GlassFire
What fuel is fire burning in? "Everything from timber to grasslands. Burn scars, etc."

Area fire burned primarily in Sonoma County was unburned in 80+ years.

My step-grandpa, Carl Richard Bischoff, died in Arizona yesterday after a five year fight with multiple myeloma. One of the most altruistic men I've ever known, he stepped in as a surrogate grandfather to me when my stepmom, BJ, became part of our family.

1/16
Almost 15 years ago we both under went surgeries- me dental surgery and Carl for colon cancer- like two freshman college roommates we were holed up together unexpectedly at BJ's house - eating soft foods, hopped up on pain killers and watching bad television for a week.
2/16
It was my first chance to get to know Carl, this man who was a new part of my family tree. He was born in 1933, the day after me, August 27, in Lancaster, PA. (We often celebrated our birthdays together!)

Unfortunately, the camera keeps moving.

I will update THIS THREAD for the time being with any new information. ๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
This is on the Napa-Sonoma border, honestly. Just east of Sugarloaf State Park.
#WallFire is located in the Nuns Fire scar. That's "my" fire. And don't get excited - 2017 fire scars are ready to burn again - if you live here, you know.
