homes here in the community of kenwood were a couple miles east of highway 12 and you can see that there are engines parked next to some of these homes during structure protection along adobe canyon road. there are several dozen roads as you move further up to the canyon closer to sugarloaf ridge state park and this fire, this flank is still actively burning in this area. early this morning we saw a flareup and there is quite a bit of concern about the homes in this particular community. the good news is that firefighters are starting to make some progress on the fire and all of the other fires burning in the north bay because it those erratic winds that of course the problems over the past week or so have led up but still it will be hot and dry later today.>> if you like eternity quarter on all these fires?>> i can say with the conditions today that yes it feels that way, but it's so

hard to say with any certainty depending on the weather and the winds, depending if we have a low wind and spot fires in different parts the changes the game. >> you can say on the other side of adobe canyon road a number of homes have been lost in this area. these homes burned days ago. now the bowe bergdahl is threatening the community of adobe canyon road and this morning you have engines protecting the structures trying to save as many homes as they possibly can. i last checked this fire, the nuns, was 50 percent contained. over the weekend the evacuation orders were lifted for the city of napa and many people return to their homes for the first time since the firestorm erupted a week ago. marlene rosenberg and her husband brushed out of their

retirement home late sunday night as the flames raced towards the complex. she was surprised to see the condo was still standing. >> there were solar panels here and a fence in the ping-pong table has burned. i don't know how it got there and left ours alone. very mixed emotions. relief and survivor guilt respect many of her neighbors homes were gutted in the fire and many of the roads in her neighborhood are still closed as caltrain crews worked to clear debris.>> napa county leaders are opening up a local assistance center to help the many victims of the wildfires. it's at the napa valley corporate drive. it will be staffed monday through friday from 9 am to 7 pm and the next week and it's open from 10 am to 5 pm. the center will provide financial help as well as other services to people living in napa county. >> and sonoma county a resource

center opened over the weekend for the local assistance center known as the lac provide services from the dmv, red cross, housing assistance and small business administration in the center opens at 9 am and goes to six p.m. every day on mendocino avenue. >> we mentioned the news conference is getting underway, let's listen in in regard to the truck that overturned. >> it is not a cal fire, firefighter. it is a contract firefighter, but that's all the information i can release at this time. during large fires like this the fire service hires contracted equipment such as water tenders and bulldozers and other types of equipment to help facilitate the fires. said this is a very normal situation for us to have extra equipment that come into help on fires like this.

>> it appears the vehicle lost control coming down the great is that your understanding can expect this is a very steep road. it's known as one of the steepest roads in napa county. i have no confirmation as to exactly what the cause of his driving off the road was.>> he was driving downhill on oakville great towards highway 29. again on the steep road something happened, i don't know what yet. and he lost control of the vehicle and rolled off the embankment of oakville great and is now positioned just off the highway.>> did he have a full tender or was attempting question mark >> i don't know that information. was anyone else in the tank 2 >> we have no information about that at this time.

>> currently the water tender did roll to an upside down position of the grade and that's where is remaining at this point until we can remove it. >> all the above agencies will take care of this. at the moment i think our first priority is chp and the county of napa is bringing the county coroner into the deal with the -- we will be removing the body and then removing going to the exercise of removing the truck and of course that will be a full exercise we will investigate exactly what caused the truck to lose control and role of the grade.

>> [ indiscernible - low volume ] >> absolutely. we don't know any specifics at this time, of course, raises a good point, we are very happy to see the containment numbers going up on the fires, people are being allowed to return home but for the firefighters on this line, these fires are far from out. there is still an enormous amount of work to do and as we all know this is day eight for these fires to be raging through napa and sonoma county and fatigue is definitely a factor. that was discussed at the morning briefing this morning it's one of the key points that the incident commander wanted to share with all of the firefighters going on the line

today is that everyone is getting tired. there is no break for this firefighters when the fires erupted last sunday evening. the blood getting tired that the fact that we are aware of. we consider it in our daily activities and we look to combat against that. weather that has anything to do with a particular incident or not is unknown at this time. but certainly, this far into a major fire activity of the sort that is certainly a factor that we consider. i have no personal information on the driver at this time. we would prefer not to release any information until next of kin are notified. >> [ indiscernible - low volume ] i'm wondering with the mood

is like with everything that has gone on can expect any incident that occurs like this is a very tragic incident. it affects all of us very personally when someone who is working with us to help contain a fire and control a fire is injured or unfortunately killed. these are incidents that we certainly wish would never happen and so, yes, it feels somewhat personal even if we don't know the individual, but yet he was a working person dealing with the fire. i mean, we can't deal with these fires and put these fires out without a lot of water, so we have water tenders patrolling the fire incident with us to keep those engines full of water to contain the

fire. so, yes, we have a lot of water tenders at this fire. so it is unfortunate that tragic accidents happen occur however, we are working very hard to make sure that this message gets out and taken everyone's awareness and deal with the family members that will be notified in due course.>> [ indiscernible - low volume ]>> i mentioned earlier the water tender was coming downhill on oakville great and for no known reason at this time the truck lost control and drove off the edge of the embankment and the truck landed upside down a steep embankment off the oakville great.>> [ indiscernible - low volume ]>>

the truck was assigned to the nuns incident and that's all the information i can release at this time. [ indiscernible - low volume ] >> we will work the fire very aggressively. you can see the smoke column and the fires burning behind us. those fires are actually burning in a somewhat controlled environment and on more of a backing or even a smoldering type of incident. we do not have the wind pushing these fires in the uncontrolled firestorm situation that we all saw a witness last sunday evening. that's not the case here. in a lot of cases we are even doing backfires and allowing the fire to come down to a controllable burn where it makes it easier for us to maintain control of the fire. so that's a situation that we have right now, but of course

while the operations are ongoing you're going to say a good bit of smoke in the air while those operations continue and we get that line in a small containment area we are confident that we can control the fire at that point with no further spread.>> [ indiscernible - low volume ] >> that's correct and advisor evacuation between oakville grade to the north here -- to the south and the rutherford road to the north, however, it is just an advisory and again, as the fires begin to turn down those deep vegetative hillside there's lots of vineyards and wineries that are between highway 29 and the foot of the hills so that fire will be easily able to be controlled at that point with the absence of

any significant wind in the forecast this morning as for no significant wind to be affecting the fire today. >> [ indiscernible - low volume ] >> not currently. other than the typical smoke we are all suffering from the fires typically, we're still getting -- without the wind it's fairly stagnant right now. in fact this afternoon will kind of get some swirling wind conditions that can kind of moving around but over the next 24 to 48 hours we are being told to expect dramatic change and will begin to see from entre breezes that are more normal for these areas and i'm sure you've all seen the potential of rain on thursday. so that is the transition that we are in right now.>> thank you. >> you're welcome.

>> was is what a contractor any connection to the department question>> listening and as we get the latest from cal fire. we now know was a fatal accident where a water tender was headed downhill went off the roadway and overturned. >> apparently a contract employee for the fire department assigned to the nuns fire. we don't know the cause of the fire but we heard the spokesperson talking about it that a lot of the crews are showing signs of fatigue and has been more than a week since they been battling these complex fires. >> a very tragic accident. allie is on the same gathering more information. he will bring her in and went second but first let's get you out the door. can you expect the accident is causing backup well beyond? >> obviously that area has also been affected by other fire closures, so you probably already state a lot of detours

and backups in the area and unexpected road closures. however, the main part of the commute we've also been very slow. the issue of freeway has been a mess. debate bridge toll plaza is very crowded. just a lot of people are back am i think the people had friday, it was lighter so some people didn't go on friday and this monday morning it's very slow and all the east bay commutes including the bay bridge approach, 580 near 24 and 24 near the macarthur park station. minor accidents there are just really adding insult to injury the highway 101 in san francisco. it's very slow, north and southbound 101 people trying to get in and out of san francisco, an earlier problem on southbound one-to-one but northbound is still very slow as well. you can see, this is a freeway i would not recommend, might want to get to the 28 extension to stay on city roads if you don't have to go very far because it's very slow. sixer the concorde to dental slow this morning southbound san mateo bridge in earlier

crash there approaching the bridge. that's got the traffic is so heavy. 8:19 am let's bring stephen with the weather.>> the gentleman sang that we do get a break from at least the wind and looks like this is the last yesterday with the last mysteriousness pattern at the offshore breeze for now and there will be some colder temperatures mentions the possibility of rain friday see the same thing were sitting here, around 38 degrees northeast 11, 19% humidity, mostly humidity is higher but some locations again you see the airflow and they are all north, northeast so that continues in that sense a lot of the smoke and haze write back over san pablo bay, an update on air quality in a second. look at the oakland hills, northeast 64, 27%, 30%, north 27 i mean, it's not strong but it's northeast and northeast
