NAPA (CBS SF) — Wind-whipped wildfires roared to life Sunday night and early Monday across Wine Country, burning building, forcing evacuations and injuring several people.
The Atlas Peak fire was the largest of several wildfires, quickly growing to more than 200 acres near Napa. Meanwhile, the fire near Calistoga had burned several building and sent several people to the hospital to be treated for burns.
Cal Fire said firefighters were battling several blazes in Sonoma County. The largest was in the area of Porter Creek Road and Petrified Forest Road near Calistoga where mandatory evacuations were ordered for residents along Porter Creek, Petrified Forest, Franz Valley and Mountain Home Ranch Rd.
Early Monday morning, the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Department said fires had erupted at Mark West Springs and Riebli roads in Santa Rosa, at Shiloh and Conde roads in Windsor and at Highway 116 and Fredericks Road in Sebastopol.
The fires had stretched Sonoma and Napa counties firefighting resources to the breaking point. A call for mutual aid was issued to other Bay Area fire departments.

Have you by any chance heard of anything in Petaluma? My sister lives there, though she isn’t home at the moment (in the northwest while this happened).
Anyone
Feel free to squawk about people hating CA for it's extreme leftist who own and govern the state. You won't stop it but it will probably make you feel better.
G'night!
10 dead 100 injured
That’s a serious fire. When it comes to wild fires, when the wind blow, little will stop it.
Unfortunate. Here’s hoping for the best.
Thank you
People posting such asinine comments are beneath hating. Not even worth attacking. Since they would probably be incapable of disengaging from molesting the nearest child and or cease consuming their own feces the fact that they can even bother to post is more curiosity than anything to be upset about, but if they actually try to fool anyone into believing that they are Christians or Patriots then it kind of does become an insult to one’s intelligence. it is curious as to how such a retard can manage to post, but anyone wishing ill on another American who happens to be in a disaster area is obviously a Democrat troll at best, or just a useless sack of crap trying to pass off as an American who can rightfully be vilified.
LOL, heard from my sister that they’ve set up a relief shelter across the street from her building in Petaluma...so I guess her home must be in an area away from the worst of it.
The problem is deeper than simple disagreement or dislike, and the moderators have been removing posts that poorly represent this forum.
For example, they've been removing posts, including in this thread, that proclaim the poster's lack of sympathy for Texans affected by Hurricane Harveyshooting victims who may have supported President Trump
Californians affected by these deadly wildfires. If any readers really don't understand why the moderators remove such posts, ask your mother.
lol...Relax, it’s been going on forever. Surprise, but many of those with the biggest dislikes and contempt for California, are Californians.
Btw, even going to an unassuming science/astronomy thread at this site and suddenly it’s like the local 3rd grade decided to all post their quips at once. Ya just have to deal with it.
Not yet. Hess is on the west side of 101. The Atlas fire is a little further north, and east of Silverado trail. But, things change fast up there.
It’s been going on forever newbie, and you’ve been here long enough where ya should understand that. I don’t like it either, but it’s the way it is.
I respectfully disagree. I've been here a little while. And, you're right.. there's PLENTY of 'California Bashing'. I might even have done a little of it myself. :-)
But, this is a life threatening situation affecting fellow Americans. There comes a time when DECENT people put politics aside, and care about their fellow man. There were Californians praying for the people of Houston during the floods... and, THIS Texan will pray for the people of California in this time of peril.
There is a time to spit at California... This, is not that time. Unless, of course... it's on an ember.
I just wish the Admin moderators would let these sister humping commie muslim blowing ass clowns know that the door is going to hit them when they start wishing or approving of ill fortune falling upon fellow Christian Conservative patriots just because we are temporarily unsuccessful in fighting the Stalinist bastards that have corrupted the government of our state. REAL patriots don’t bug out for Texas or Montana or other freedom-loving areas, we stand and fight even though the retards, cowards and pussies of the NRA and the Republican party are as clueless as hell. But when some useless sack of child molesting muzzie bowel waste approves of harm befalling my friends just because our state government is currently run by dingalings, then I shall make as many imprecations as to their parentage, hygiene and sexual practices as I wish. I just dislike that genuine Constitution loving Christian Americans have to read their demented filth.

Uncertainty is so stressful! Glad to know she is OK.
“I just saw that they have recently put a 747 into service to spray fire retardant...much better than helicopters.”
The Russians have a huge firefighting jet that is much better, but for some reason we haven’t bought any.
Haven’t paid that much attention but is this the result of just leaving forests alone? The “Mother Nature will take care of it” nannies.
Spent many hours in Europe and they all always cleaning up their forest underbrush. They are using their brain on this one. ( or at least for this. No comment on the rest of their mess.)
I suspect you may be correct...At least in some areas on West Coast, cutting trees is practically verboten...
Plus likely a lot of land use changes as well as population growth...
Thank you.
Heaven knows we’ve tried.
Amen! That’s a very good post and on the mark.
I don’t often post on threads where such rudeness and lack of empathy is being posted by a few but sometimes read the threads just to inform myself of those few.

Interesting...Do you have any more information on what type of plane?
Good question as to why we have not...
Some of the people in California should be asking the question!
