150 to 200 homes under a mandatory evacuation, to his knowledge, all of the residents have evacuated. there may be one or two people that stayed behind to protect their homes but they underscored how important it is to stay with the evacuation order. if they order you to get out, they said get out so they do not have to worry about rescuing people. we are expecting an update at 10:00 this morning, we will get an update on how the fire progressed and highway it's being fought. the fire appears to our eyes to have grown since we arrived here. we are hoping to learn more information at the 10:00 a.m. press conference. thank you christian, a number of people said they received texts about the fire.

should not be concerned. the risk of the fire coming out of the canyon into the valley is minimal. we saw a woman who decided to bring coffee to the firefighters to express her deep gratitude. >> they have been out here all night, all week, it's heart breaking to see everything that is going on and know that they are away from their families and sacrificing everything to be here for you. >> reporter: as you mentioned, takenment of the nuns fire has grown, yesterday it was 53% contained. this morning it's 68% contained. the smoke we see in the hills behind us are from the nuns fire burning in the napa county side. the fire is 53,000-acres and goes through sonoma and napa county, this is the western napa side of the nuns fire, the fire is burning in the containment lines and people in the area should not be

concerned. again this is the staging area where we have a a lot of trucks switching out for a shift change. >> back to you guys. that was allie rasmus live in napa. as people return to the neighborhoods devastated by the fires, the question is, what to to next. how do they deal with their losses. a lot of us are wondering how to protect ourselves. we are joined by the california insurance commissioner. dave jones, welcome. >> thank you. >> i was read reading one company has reported 2500 insurance claims before saturday. it's important to get the claims in early. the earlier you do it the earlier you get out of the shelters. >> we encourage fire victims to contact their insurance

companies, we made sure that insurers are staffed and there to take your claim. call the insurance company and make the claim and start the process. >> when it comes to making it a claim, should you treat it like a negotiation, can you ask for more? >> tell them what the home was made from, what it's worth and everything that was in the home. push to make sure you get everything. start with the insurance company, if you have a dispute call us, i have also issued a note to insurers to expedite claims, a lot of people have additional living coverage, we have asked the companies to give people a four month advance on that advance on that

are people worried about not getting their money. >> part of my job is to make sure people have sif capital to cover the claims, we are confident that they are going to be able to pay claims. how long do companies have to pay for additional living expenses. >> two years, many policies go beyond that, that's this recognition that it sometimes takes longer for people to get on their feet. >> so many homes have been destroyed. thenl you have to go through the permit process and the application process, for someone sitting at home, they are saying, this is not two years, it's three. >> we want to make people aware of scammers, we are are parting

our detectives in the field to insure against this activity but people are vulnerable and we are worried that they will be taken advantage of. >> what should we look at with our insurance policies. before this happened, i opened my policy. >> every year contact your insurance company and ask if you have enough coverage, ask them to do a replacement cost estimate. people think they should insure to the market value of the home. often times it costs more to replace it than to buy it. >> you may see a spike in rebuilding costs after a disaster. >> it costs more to replace homes than their market price in california, you want to insure to the market price or above. >> i am curious about people in the gray zone, say my house has

damage, water smoke and ash damage, i did not lose my home to fire but am i covered. >> they are typically covered. i encourage people, call the insurance company and the insurance agent when you get into the area, they will send in an adjustor. do not start to move things around until they have had a chance to see it. >> do they have enough adjustors. >> i have issued a law saying that they can bring in adjustors from out of state. i l going -- i am going to make sure that they are on site. >> is it true that the longer your claim is open, the more money you get. do you have that negotiating power? >> not necessarily, you should make your claim. see if you are satisfied with

the claim. if you think you are not being treated fairly by the company, contact us, sometimes they write checks immediately. your take that check does not wave your rights to continue the claim. be careful about hiring 30 parties to help you, they take a piece of the settlement, often times a lot more than is necessary, before you do that call the department of insurance, we go to bat for people. >> what about paying your mortgage stft you are going to continue to need to pay your mortgage. contact your lender and let them know what happened and see if you can get some relief. >> for me this afternoon, to go to my house and take a video of the living room and bedroom, do those things make a difference. >> take yow smart device or your camera and take a video of

everything that you own, store it. send it out of the area, that can reduce the conflict with the insurance company over what you had and what it was worth. >> it can also help you what you remember. >> absolutely, you are grieving and lost everything, i do not remember, so e-mail the list to yourself or send a video to another family member. >> it sounds like insurance needs tock to be maintained -- needs to be maintained every year. >> yes, people's needs change, make the adjustments every year. >> will rates go up?

>> no, we require that rate increases go up every 20 years, we have the fair plan in california, if you cannot find insurance, you can go to the fair plan and you are guaranteed coverage. >> thank you dave jones, we appreciate the time. >> thank you

the smoke around. it's rising straight up which means there is light wind conditions in the area, good news for firefighters and bad news for air quality. but at this point i think we can sacrifice air quality for any help that the firefighters can get. lets talk about the centers, two evacuation centers have been set up. one at boulder creek elementary school. there is a second center at a fire station in the city of felton. that's where lee is this morning. >> reporter: 100 people had evacuated to this fire station. a lot of people have cleared out. some of decided to take off to where their family and friends are. they just left town. we were were first at boulder creek element school but they had cell phone service problems and people wanted to know what was going on.

not for fire, i just graped what ever, my wallet, my cell phone and my pets. everything is still on at the house, my lights and everything. >> reporter: both women told us that the area that the fire is burning is r ushes gged terrain, there is not many houses but there are some oak trees and some christmas tree farms. the construction had been cleared out this morning. again we are looking live at the fire department. they have opened this up as the main shelter. there is another shelter opening up in loss gatos. most people have decided to leave this morning. the peak time was 6:00 where we had the most people here but

most people have decided to go to family and friends, the bear creek elementary school will be closed after today. there is difficult cell phone reception up there. the majority of people that want to stay in the area, this fire station is the place to go to. >> thank you, lee. meap people are back in sonoma county this morning for the -- many people are back in sonoma county for the first time in nine days, evacuation orders were lifted for the city of sonoma and glenwood. cal fire says that the immediate danger is over for most of the city of sonoma as crews make progress against the nuns fire, for evacuees who spent days away from their homes, it was a mixed bag of emotions, even for those whose

homes were spared. >> i still know people in mandatory evacuation areas, they know that their homes are there but they do not know what is around them. >> to see a list of evacuation orders, go to our website, ktvu.com. now to mendocino consider where 8,000 evacuees were allowed to return to their homes, for many, what they found was heart braking. >> i wish i had more time, i could have grabbed things from the walls, i did not cry yesterday until i say our mattress, where it was, is just springs now, i was thinking, that could have been us, we could have been laying there and we would be gone. >> she and her husband lost

into their homes, the repopulation has gone very well. we have been systematic as far as which areas in redwood valley and potter valley have been allowed to repopulate. we have had a great response from cal fire and the national guard. between our sheriffs office, cal fire and the national guard and we have had mental health counselors in the field, we have been able to repopulate. we had 300 homes and 500 structures that were destroyed in the fire. at this point our number one concerns remains the safety and the health of our residents and moving into recovery now, we are concerned about the health impacts of people going back into areas where there is tremendous ash and burned teals. so we are working with the

state, looking at debris clean up and protecting our water sheds. that's our number one concern right now. >> you mentioned the dpreef counselors and that you are going to be helping people. what other services is the county giving people who are coming back and do not have a place to stay or maybe food to eat. what can they to? >> there has been a very large outpouring from the community as far as money being collected and clothes being collected and food being collected so the community itself is taking care of their neighbors. so we are seeing that. the county has opened up a local assistance center. it opens at 10:00 this morning. we are coordinating with fema is with the -- and with the state. it will be a one stop shop

where people who have been victims of this tragic fire can go. it's the local assistance center, they can get assistance with county service and state and federal services, we are talk social security, having our community based organizations there to help people that possibly need cash in hand, today. and also all of our services are available through the local assistance center. even vital records, people who have lost their birth certificates, the department of motor vehicles are there for people who do not have their drivers licenses. we are trying to provide that one stop shop. additionally we still have a shelter open. our shelter is open at 1,000 hensley creek at mendocino college. >> can i ask you, when it comes

to the shelter and the one stop shop assistance center, how long do you expect those to stay open, days, or weeks? s. the shelter will be open as long as we have people coming in that need a place to stay at night. the local assistance center will be opened as long as its needed. if i had to say how long that would be, our numbers are dwindling, people are finding other maces to go, going to friends and family. we have had a great ute pouring from the community. i think that the shelter will be open for another week or so. the local assistance center could be open for a month or so. we do not know. it depends on, if you look at 300 homes being burned, the people that need assistance, it depends on how quickly the people come in and how quickly we can serve them.

>> as you enter this new phase in the recovery process, we are thinking of you and wishing you and your residents in mendocino county the best as you move forward. thank you for taking the time. >> thank you very much. have a good day. >> coming up on mornings on 2 the nine, politics on the football field. coming up, the nfl and players union meet today to discuss the protests during the national anthem. people are starting to go back home and they are finding everything burned to the ground but they are making some amazing finds, things that survived the fire and they are clinging to that, more on this coming up >> we have more coming up on ktvu news right after the break
