NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – Thousands of people across Napa and Sonoma counties are once again under evacuation due to a fast-moving wildland fire incident that includes three fires that began on Sunday.
The Glass fire began shortly before 4 a.m. Sunday in the Deer Park area of Napa County. Cal Fire said the first units on scene found a fast-moving 20-acre vegetation fire. By 1 p.m. Sunday, it had grown to 1,200 acres and had doubled again to 2,500 acres by nightfall.
The fire has had a dangerous rate of spread and has expanded into Sonoma County, officials said.
On Sunday night, two additional fires – the Shady and Boysen – began in Sonoma County. The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office said those fires were in the area of St. Helena Road and Los Alamos Road.
Cal Fire said those fires have merged with the Glass fire.
Overnight the incident as a whole burned several thousand more acres, with officials reporting on Monday morning that it had burned 11,000 acres, with no containment.
Cal Fire said crews have reported the Glass fire has had short-range spotting with wind-driven runs.
Early Monday, firefighters reported over the radio that the fire was jumping Highway 29 in Napa County and also had crossed over in the 4400 block of Silverado Trail.
Resources have been thin due to so many other fires around the state – Gov. Gavin Newsom said 27 incidents are burning across California – and early Monday crews were being moved around to priority areas as the fire moved closer to homes.
Cal Fire said that the fire is threatening 8,543 structures. There was no report from Cal Fire on Monday about how many structures have been damaged or destroyed, but there were multiple reports Sunday night and into early Monday about losses to vineyards and wineries, including photographs and video footage of burning homes.
The Shady fire portion of the incident was reported to be burning in and around Trione-Annadel State Park on Monday morning.
The fire has led to evacuations across Napa and Sonoma counties. The maps below show the evacuation areas as of Monday morning for both counties.
On Sunday night, thousands of residents were on the highways attempting to leave the areas of the Shady and Boysen fires, with the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office directing evacuees to head east on Highway 12 toward Sonoma because westbound traffic toward Santa Rosa was gridlocked.
By Monday morning, Cal Fire had 1,070 firefighters assigned to the incident, along with 133 engines, 22 water tenders, five helicopters, 26 hand crews and 35 dozers.
Cal Fire said it has activated two new incident management teams. One is being sent to the Glass fire and the other to the 15,000-acre Zogg fire in Shasta County.
A red flag warning remains in effect through Monday for strong and gusty offshore winds, low humidity and dry fuels.
