been updated. state senator mike mcguire says forward progress has been stopped noting that the fire started in the residential area that was hit the hardest. so here's more video of that fire. this was taken at the cache creek mobile home a state you can see structures are burned, but we are hearing that firefighters were able to save some. >> that mobile home park is located just off the dam road not far from the clear lake compound are a campground rather than a look now at evacuation orders and warnings. the. >> orders are in red. the warnings in yellow as we zoom in here, you should note that highway 29 is closed right now from highway 53 to spruce grove road. there's an evacuation center at kelsey ville high school. the areas hit hard include that creekside mobile home park and the cache creek mobile home states and just south of that just a few blocks away from those 2 residential areas that

were decimated. it was frantic this afternoon is lower lake elementary in lower lake high school had to be evacuated with the field burning right across the street from those schools. kids just back to school. and now this year's more new video of woman fighting the fire by herself. she's standing in the cache creek bed between lower lake and dam. road. certainly a lot of people trying to get out of that area this afternoon. it is unclear how the fire started. but again, this is not a wildfire that burned into a populated area. the fire reportedly started in the residential area, which is why it was able to spread so fast and be so destructive it cause so many people off guard. we do have a reporter headed to lake county has a couple dozen homes are said to have been destroyed. this afternoon. again forward progress has been stopped, but we will bring you updates on this fire throughout this broadcast. we'll have live interviews throughout our coverage as well. chief meteorologist lawrence karnow joining us now

with a look at the weather in that region lawrence. yeah, guys extremely dangerous fire conditions right now. the winds have been whipping through that area. they will continue to see that here. >> over the next 24 hours. those winds continue to move 25 to 26 miles per hour. you can see him diving right in toward lower lake and pushing that fire in a southerly direction. that will be the case overnight tonight. in fact, these winds going to likely ramp up again overnight tonight as we're going to see winds start to get going overnight, especially again, that northerly component to the wind. it's not going to be a strong as it was last night. but still you're going to get that offshore wind. and here comes settling in and all of a sudden we start talking about those strong gusty winds. maybe some gusts as high as 35 miles per hour overnight tonight. so some blustery winds there, as you can imagine, red flag warnings are going to be going up. those winds will continue throughout the night tonight and probably through the middle of the morning tomorrow and then by the afternoon, looks like things are going to begin to

settle down. we'll start to see more a westerly wind. and of course, that westerly wind could has going carry a lot more moisture to prefer. now we've got red flag warnings up across much of the north bay, especially over the mountain tops again, humidity not as dry as it was but still dry enough down to 20 to 30%. and with an active fire, very dangerous fire conditions tonight. guys, back to you. all right, right now we have cal fire on the line. are you with us. daniel berlin. >> yeah, good evening. we've been reporting on this this fire and clear lake o one thing i would like to clear it has forward progress of the fire been stopped at this point. well, our firefighters have been continue to assist lake county fire district, which is really the lead agency on this fire. know that it has grown up about a 100 acres outside of the city at this point firefighters continuing to work containment don't have any updated figures from them on how that progresses going. but it just another example of how dry conditions are and the warning

that we've been issued for the last several days now. and this is just the reality of when a fire breaks out. even if it to the structure fire, some other source once he burns is a while and it's going to very quickly. >> obviously other fires and we'll get back to the lake county momentarily. but you have the dixie fire that has become a historic fire burning for. >> now more than a month now also more concerning right now is caldor fire, which is just south of highway 50. >> near lake calendar. as you know, started saturday. and on monday night, less than a 1000 acres. but it has just exploded at last check more than 63. or ansari. more than 53,000 what is the level of concern right now with with caldor and how close that is to some of the populated areas quite frankly, in the suburbs of lake tahoe. yeah, well,

caldor has definitely been a very destructive fire while we don't have exact numbers yet. our damage inspection. >> is ongoing. but as that fire has just race towards more populated areas including the commedia pollack pines. we've been working very closely with the sheriff's department in eldorado county to get people evacuated early. this has been such a fast-moving fire that the timing to get people out of some of areas like grizzly flats. that was just hit hard just a couple days ago has been a major challenge. no different than the challenge that we face for really the last couple of months on fires. the dixie fire that you mentioned another one that just has done significant amount of damage. i mean, is the 14th, most destructive fire in our state's history. the dixie fire destroying a over 12,1200 structures to date. and so, you know, the fires that we've been experiencing have been burning at explosive rates. now, that's not a term that we don't you know. you know, isn't used often, you know, in the summertime we have strong

extreme weather conditions that does occur. but the thing is these fires have been burning without that significant win. now you add red flag warnings for high winds in many areas that only exacerbates the problem. but really these dry conditions really have allowed fires to grow at explosive rates moving them into cities doing complete destruction in their pac. >> i want to hearken back to this caldor fire again, we have we've seen the group some 23,000 acres just overnight. that seems extraordinary. our have you ever seen behaving in this way before. you know, i would use the word unprecedented, which is a word that i feel like we used a lot talking about the fires last year or the year before that really the fires in the past 5 since the north bay fires. have really just been off the charts as far as the fire behavior erratic is the speed and the severity, right. some of the most destructive, some of the largest fires within

our state's history have occurred really in the past 5 years. >> and so it how fast these fires are moving. but sadly, this has been the trend. i mean, we're at confluence of issues are for us are tinder dry with drought conditions. we are experiencing over in our force there on healthy. we're seeing fire seasons are longer, which means conditions are able to dry out further. and so all of these issues compact that are really lending themself to just significant that obviously tests are are was all that tests. our abilities to stop these fires to protect people. and so really we have to kind of shift into doing just purely protecting life, getting people out of harm's way doing structure. defense. our firefighters have been working a number of fronts to protect structures mission has been really a challenge this past couple of years. and really the past couple of with with just how fast moving fires have been. >> daniel discount fire have

enough men and women to fight all of these fires and state senator mike mcguire just said that cal is the best firefighting team in the world. but what cal fire has been doing this year. he said quite frankly isn't working. what needs to happen this year or next year to turn this around. right now. we have over 10,000 firefighters on the front lines of a dozen major fires and that doesn't even take into account. >> the dozens and dozens of back over 30 wildfires that we responded in the last 24 hours. and that's the been 40 new fires every day, most of which if not actually all of them contain relatively quickly. but, you know, let's face it, we have to prioritize our resources. we have to pick a life property those are our priorities and we have been bringing in resources from other parts of the state really over the last several weeks. many other providing assistance to us as well. and

the national guard hundreds of guards members that in the offseason. we've trained up as crews. they are fighting are flying. i should say helicopters and air tankers providing logistical support. so this is an all fight with local fire departments from every city, every in every corner of california at the state level and the federal an interesting fact from our partners of the u.s. forest service about 65% of the federal us forest service firefighting resources are here in california right now. battling wildfires. so a lot of fire resources being put toward the test right now towards these fires. but we do have to prioritize our resources and we are constantly moving around based on the threat of life. a bit on the threat of property and then thirdly, our natural resources. all right. well, thank you so much. and we do very much appreciate the work that you do. we hope that the weather certainly tonight. daniel berlant of with cal fire. thank you so much for your time. thank you, daniel
