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.

Not yet - but it is something I am want to do with 2 acres of the 12 I own. So I’ve done research and attended conferences. At the moment, I don’t have the funds to invest.

Prayers up for those in the path of the fires, for the first responders, and for the weather to turn favorable. Prayers up that these fires will soon be contained. And prayers added that there will be healing and comfort for those impacted by these fires.


Thank you...Prayers! And thank you for mentioning first responders—they must be exhausted by now...been fighting these for nearly 24 hours.

Wow! That is amazing... golfers having to flee the tournament.

I heard the embers in this fire are very large, but no one seemed to say why...
