Nearly 21,785 other structures were still under threat. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post, 3:30 p.m. Monday:\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>Firefighters made steady progress over the weekend in their battle to rein in the Glass Fire in Napa and Sonoma counties, keeping much of the fire at bay, despite windy, critically dry conditions and temperatures that reached into the triple digits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crews by Monday morning had increased \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU/status/1313121953985687552\">containment of the voracious blaze\u003c/a> to 30%, successfully holding control lines and allowing thousands of residents to return to their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warnings of powerful winds that officials feared could further drive flames never fully materialized, and ground crews received much-need assistance from above, as skies in some areas cleared enough to allow large air tankers — previously sidelined because of smoke — to drop retardant on some of the most active parts of the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In certain areas, we were able to get quite a bit of aircraft in. So we really pounded a couple different areas hard with aircraft,” Cal Fire spokesman Scott McLean said. “If the weather does what is predicted, we’re on that glide path I hope. But that doesn’t diminish the amount of work that still needs to be done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CALFIRECZU/status/1313151205397262345\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire, which ignited Sept. 27 in the hills above the Napa Valley and spread rapidly westward toward Santa Rosa, has already charred more than 65,500 acres in Sonoma and Napa counties, destroying at least 1,200 structures, including nearly 500 single-family residences in both counties.

The wildfires have already killed 30 people and incinerated hundreds of homes in what is already the worst fire season on record.

That warning, issued by the National Weather Service, also covers the East Bay Hills and Diablo Range, the Santa Cruz mountains and Los Padres National Forest, where the \u003ca href=\"https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/7018/\">Dolan Fire\u003c/a> is burning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire officials have warned residents to be vigilant about calling in any new fires they spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NWSBayArea/status/1311717082208165888\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We really have a tough 24 hours ahead of us as we go through this weather pattern,” said Cal Fire Deputy Chief Jonathan Cox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He noted that cooler more favorable weather conditions are forecast for later this weekend, when firefighters expect to make good progress containing the Glass Fire. “But really we’re focussed right now on the next 24-hour operational period to really do as much as we can to protect the community that are threatened out there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU/status/1311465354833530881\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday morning the blaze had destroyed at least 36 single-family homes in Sonoma County, along the eastern edge of Santa Rosa, and 107 homes in Napa County, according to Cal Fire. However, by Thursday evening the number of homes destroyed increased to 67 in Sonoma and 153 in Napa Couty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of evacuation orders or warnings in and around Santa Rosa and unincorporated Sonoma County have been recently downgraded or lifted, with some neighborhoods starting to repopulate. But tens of thousands of residents in both counties \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU\">remain under existing orders\u003c/a> to leave their homes — including almost 13,000 in Santa Rosa alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My main message for you today is that more evacuations are possible,” Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick said at a Thursday afternoon briefing. He reminded residents to be prepared by signing up for emergency updates, keeping cellphones charged, having at least a half a tank of gas in the tank and packing a go-bag with valuables and medication. And if residents hear a hi-lo siren, he added, that means “it’s time to go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Napa County, the fire was “impinging” on the city of Calistoga and the hillside community of Argwin to the southeast, both of which remain under evacuation orders, said Cal Fire Operations Chief Mark Brunton. “It’s not into [Calistoga] city limits by any stretch at this point, but it is something we are closely watching, monitoring and taking action on,” he said at Thursday afternoon briefing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New evacuation orders were also issued Thursday for all areas north of Calistoga between Highway 128, the Sonoma County line and Highway 29.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Derek Webb, who owns Triple S Ranch in Calistoga, refused to leave despite the evacuation order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think everybody has to judge their own risk. I’ve seen way too many fires where a homeowner has stayed behind and saved his entire property with a garden hose,” Webb said, noting that he had cleared brush to create a defensible space around his 20-acre property. “I’m not saying it’s for everyone,” he added. “For me, I will always be able to take that risk just because I have confidence in myself and what I’m doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire on Thursday was also pushing toward Oakville, a hamlet south of St. Helena, near the Robert Mondavi winery. It also remained very active farther north in the rural Palisades area near Mt. St. Helena, where firefighters have been stymied by steep terrain and heavy fuels, Cal Fire’s Brunton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840691\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11840691\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-800x634.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"634\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-800x634.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1020x808.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-160x127.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1536x1217.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-2048x1623.png 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1920x1521.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Glass Fire perimeter as of Thursday morning, Oct. 1. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Cal Fire)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Fire crews were also closely watching the Highway 29 corridor on the valley floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is going to be a concern moving forward, because of the wine industry being what it is, and this time of year being critical for them,” Brunton said. “They are allowed to operate at this point in time to harvest their crops. … So we are going to be watching that closely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Sonoma County’s Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, just across the county line, crews had made progress containing the blaze, but the flames still posed a “potential threat” to the nearby communities of Kenwood and Glen Ellen, located about halfway between between Santa Rosa and the town of Sonoma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the Highway 12 corridor heading into Santa Rosa — an area under serious threat earlier in the week — was “looking much better,” he added, as was the nearby area along Calistoga Road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dione Carston, a homeowner in the Deer Park neighborhood of St. Helena, evacuated the area with her husband early Sunday morning — the fourth time she’s had to flee her home in the last five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SherazSadiq1/status/1311410132438274048?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, she managed to sneak back onto her property to discover that the sprinkler her husband had hurriedly installed on the roof had saved the house and their two pet turkeys, even as the flames claimed the horse barn on their seven-acre property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need a reprieve, we need a break, it’s too much and I don’t dare ask, ‘What else?’, because I believe the universe will open and show you what else it can give you,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://sonomacounty.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=69a0e54e9e2b48c086d122027b21c961\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burning between the scars of several recent blazes, the Glass Fire is devouring critically dry brush and grass that has not burned for at least 70 years, and has not been rained on for five months, making containment efforts all the more challenging, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 2,100 firefighters have been assigned to fight the blaze — in alternating 24-hour shifts — aided by a fleet of dozers, helicopters and air tankers, Cal Fire officials said.

However, by Thursday evening the number of homes destroyed increased to 67 in Sonoma and 153 in Napa Couty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of evacuation orders or warnings in and around Santa Rosa and unincorporated Sonoma County have been recently downgraded or lifted, with some neighborhoods starting to repopulate. But tens of thousands of residents in both counties \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU\">remain under existing orders\u003c/a> to leave their homes — including almost 13,000 in Santa Rosa alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My main message for you today is that more evacuations are possible,” Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick said at a Thursday afternoon briefing. He reminded residents to be prepared by signing up for emergency updates, keeping cellphones charged, having at least a half a tank of gas in the tank and packing a go-bag with valuables and medication. And if residents hear a hi-lo siren, he added, that means “it’s time to go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Napa County, the fire was “impinging” on the city of Calistoga and the hillside community of Argwin to the southeast, both of which remain under evacuation orders, said Cal Fire Operations Chief Mark Brunton. “It’s not into [Calistoga] city limits by any stretch at this point, but it is something we are closely watching, monitoring and taking action on,” he said at Thursday afternoon briefing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New evacuation orders were also issued Thursday for all areas north of Calistoga between Highway 128, the Sonoma County line and Highway 29.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Derek Webb, who owns Triple S Ranch in Calistoga, refused to leave despite the evacuation order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think everybody has to judge their own risk. I’ve seen way too many fires where a homeowner has stayed behind and saved his entire property with a garden hose,” Webb said, noting that he had cleared brush to create a defensible space around his 20-acre property. “I’m not saying it’s for everyone,” he added. “For me, I will always be able to take that risk just because I have confidence in myself and what I’m doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire on Thursday was also pushing toward Oakville, a hamlet south of St. Helena, near the Robert Mondavi winery. It also remained very active farther north in the rural Palisades area near Mt. St. Helena, where firefighters have been stymied by steep terrain and heavy fuels, Cal Fire’s Brunton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840691\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11840691\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-800x634.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"634\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-800x634.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1020x808.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-160x127.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1536x1217.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-2048x1623.png 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1920x1521.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Glass Fire perimeter as of Thursday morning, Oct. 1. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Cal Fire)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Fire crews were also closely watching the Highway 29 corridor on the valley floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is going to be a concern moving forward, because of the wine industry being what it is, and this time of year being critical for them,” Brunton said. “They are allowed to operate at this point in time to harvest their crops. … So we are going to be watching that closely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Sonoma County’s Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, just across the county line, crews had made progress containing the blaze, but the flames still posed a “potential threat” to the nearby communities of Kenwood and Glen Ellen, located about halfway between between Santa Rosa and the town of Sonoma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the Highway 12 corridor heading into Santa Rosa — an area under serious threat earlier in the week — was “looking much better,” he added, as was the nearby area along Calistoga Road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Service interruptions like these stop people from being able to get in touch with family and friends to confirm their safety, and prevent them from receiving the very emergency alerts they’re relying on for evacuation updates.

Some folks can also assume that the emergency broadcast system will cut into whatever they’re watching with any key updates, which Gore says isn’t necessarily the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What if you don’t \u003cem>have\u003c/em> a smartphone in the first place?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you don’t have a smartphone, wireless emergency alerts (such as evacuation orders or Amber Alerts) will still automatically sound on your cellphone — but they rely on your phone having cell service to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These alerts also go to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather radios, which operate on emergency cranks or battery power. NOAA weather radios broadcast official warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information consistently. \u003ca href=\"https://www.weatherusa.net/radio\">Find out how to tune into a local weather radio here.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can also \u003ca href=\"https://local.nixle.com/register/\">sign up to get Nixle alerts\u003c/a>, which can come via texts, voice messages and emails — maximizing your chances of being able to receive at least one of these methods. If you have a friend, family member or neighbor who does have a smartphone, set up a system so they can send you important information.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Consider having an out-of-state text contact\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Capt. Erica Arteseros of San Francisco’s Fire Department, who served as program coordinator for the city’s Neighborhood Emergency Response Team, advises you to explicitly identify a person who lives outside California to be your “check-in contact.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether it’s a friend or a family member, Arteseros says you should send a text message to that out-of-state person with the time and your location, even if you don’t have wireless service — because that text message \u003cem>will\u003c/em> eventually get to that person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Phone calls will fail when cell towers are down for either you or your contact, Arteseros explains. Text messages, however, operate on a relay system between emergency beacons on cell towers. This means a text is more likely to reach someone than a phone call or a voice message.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Make sure you don’t run out of power\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When prepping your \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11833686/what-to-pack-in-your-emergency-bag-with-covid-19-in-mind\">emergency “go bag” kit (instructions here)\u003c/a>, make sure you include a cellphone charger (if possible, more than one) and a portable rechargeable cellphone battery, if you have one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Placing your phone in airplane mode — and making sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity are also disabled — will help battery life. You can periodically turn your phone on and off to check for signal while also conserving battery life. Turning down your screen’s brightness will also help save your battery, as will putting your device in low power mode (even if your battery still has significant charge).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Your phone may end up being a crucial lifeline between you and loved ones, and you want to make sure you can keep using it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"save\">\u003c/a>Finally: Save these reminders to your phone’s camera roll …\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>… so you can view these tips (in English and Spanish) without cellphone coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11840242\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/how-to-communicate.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/how-to-communicate.jpg 1080w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/how-to-communicate-800x1000.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/how-to-communicate-1020x1275.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/how-to-communicate-160x200.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11840243\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/how-to-communicate-espanol2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/how-to-communicate-espanol2.jpg 1080w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/how-to-communicate-espanol2-800x1000.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/how-to-communicate-espanol2-1020x1275.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/how-to-communicate-espanol2-160x200.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

But ongoing smoky conditions, he added, were continuing to prevent aircraft from supporting suppression efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In rural Napa County, crews on Tuesday were still fighting to protect the community of Angwin, nestled in the steep hills above the Napa Valley, in what Brunton called a “run-and-gun battle” against the blaze as it continued spreading toward Pope Valley, east of Calistoga. All residents in and around the area \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU/status/1310991669475516417\">were ordered that morning to evacuate\u003c/a>.
