Evacuations ordered, traffic conditions on I-580

TONIGHT. THE PUSH TO CONTAIN A GRASS FIRE FIRE IN SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY. THE CORRAL FIRE STARTED AT 230 YESTERDAY. AND SINCE THEN, 14,000 ACRES HAVE BURNED. THE FIRE IS NOW 30% CONTAINED. LIVE COPTER THREE GIVING US A LOT OF INSIGHT. WE GOT THESE EXCLUSIVE IMAGES TODAY OVER THE FIRE EVACUATION WARNING ARE STILL IN EFFECT TONIGHT. THEY WERE JUST DOWNGRADED FROM ORDERS MOMENTS AGO. WE KNOW WESTBOUND 580 IS OPEN ON EASTBOUND 580. THE NUMBER ONE LANE IS OPEN AND THE NUMBER TWO LANE IS CLOSED FROM CORRAL HOLLOW ROAD TO SOUTH BIRD ROAD. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US AT 6:00. I’M BRITTANY HOPE AND I’M ANDREA FLORES. AT LEAST TWO FIREFIGHTERS WERE INJURED WHILE BATTLING THE FLAMES. AND SOME NEIGHBORHOODS ARE ALREADY SEEING MAJOR DAMAGE. SO HERE’S A LOOK AT THE PROGRESS OF THE FIRE OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS. ON YOUR LEFT IS A VIEW OF THE FIRE. THIS WAS AROUND NINE LAST NIGHT. YOU CAN SEE FLAMES BURNING ALONG THIS HILL NOW. SMOKE FILLED THE AIR AND WINDS WERE STRONG. IT’S A DIFFERENT STORY IN THAT AREA TODAY. YOU CAN STILL SEE SOME SMOKE THERE ON YOUR RIGHT, BUT YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF THE DAMAGE THAT THOSE FLAMES LEFT BEHIND, WHERE YOU CAN SEE THAT BLACK AREA ON THE GROUND THAT’S THE BURN SCAR WHERE THOSE FLAMES RIPPED THROUGH THAT AREA, SOME POSITIVE NEWS, ALL EVACUATION ORDERS WERE JUST DOWNGRADED TO WARNINGS. THAT’S WHY THE WHOLE AREA NOW IS YELLOW. BUT CAL FIRE SAYS THEY WANT EVERYONE TO BE ON ALERT AS THE WINDS STICK AROUND. TONIGHT, FIRE CREWS SAY ROAD CLOSURES ARE STILL IN PLACE ON SOUTH CORRAL HOLLOW ROAD AND ON CRISMON ROAD SOUTH OF I-5 FOR NON RESIDENTS. A TEMPORARY EVACUATION POINT IS OPEN AT THE LARGE CLOVER COMMUNITY CENTER IN TRACY. THAT’S AT 11 157 WEST LARCH ROAD. A LARGE ANIMAL SHELTER IS SET UP AT THE MANTECA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT BUILDING, AND THAT ADDRESS IS 2271 WEST LUIS AVENUE IN MANTECA. AS THE FIRE CONTINUES TO BURN, WE HAVE LIVE TEAM COVERAGE FOR YOU THIS EVENING. KCRA 3’S MICHELLE BANDUR IS IN A SAN JOAQUIN NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS BEEN HEAVILY IMPACTED BY THIS FIRE. KCRA 3’S LEE ANNE DENYER IS ALSO LIVE IN THAT AREA TONIGHT WITH MORE ON HOW THE FIRE IS IMPACTING PEOPLE WITHIN THAT AREA. BUT FIRST WE WANT TO START WITH METEOROLOGIST DIRK VERDOORN, WHO HAS BEEN TRACKING THE FIRE CONDITIONS AND THOSE ONGOING WINDS. DIRK WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW? YEAH, IT’S REALLY ALL ABOUT THE WINDS THAT WE SAW YESTERDAY. THOSE WINDS WERE SO STRONG. WE HAD WIND GUSTS THAT WERE 30 TO UP TO 45MPH AT TIMES IN THE AREA WHERE THE FIRE WAS BURNING, AND WE STILL HAVE WEST WINDS NOW. THEY DID SHIFT THIS MORNING AND INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON, BUT NOW WE’RE SEEING THAT WEST WIND CONTINUE THROUGH THE AREA. BUT WHAT I WANTED TO SHOW YOU HERE, THIS IS THE BURN SCAR. SO YOU HAVE I-580 THAT RUNS THIS DIRECTION. YOU HAVE TRACY. OF COURSE YOU GOT THE AIRPORT NEAR HERE, BUT YOU CAN SEE HOW LARGE THIS IS. SO THE BURN SCAR COVERS QUITE A WIDE SWATH HERE OF THIS AREA. IT’S ABOUT EIGHT AND A HALF MILES LONG ALONG I-5 80. AND THEN IT GOES BACK ABOUT BETWEEN 4 TO 5 MILES DEEP UP INTO THE HILLS THERE. SO THE CORRAL FIRE, WE’RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW, WIND GUSTS BETWEEN 20 TO 30MPH. THOSE ARE THE REPORTS IN THAT AREA. WE EXPECT TO HAVE THE WINDS KIND OF STAY IN THAT RANGE, IF NOT GET A LITTLE BIT STRONGER AS WE GO THROUGH THE NIGHT. TONIGHT. HERE WE ARE AS WE MAKE OUR WAY INTO THE EVENING ABOUT 915. WE’RE LOOKING AT WIND GUSTS CLOSE TO 30MPH. WIND GUSTS ARE GOING TO STAY IN THAT RANGE AS WE HEAD PAST MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AND ON INTO MONDAY MORNING. THOSE WINDS EVENTUALLY ARE GOING TO TAPER OFF, BUT WE’RE STILL GOING TO DEAL WITH THOSE WEST WIND WINDS BEING PUSHED UP OVER THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS THROUGH MUCH OF TOMORROW BEFORE WE GET INTO TOMORROW NIGHT AND TUESDAY, AND THEN WE GET A NORTH WIND, WHICH AGAIN, NOT A GOOD WIN BECAUSE THAT DRIES OUT THINGS EVEN MORE. SO IT MAKES IT EVEN EASIER FOR FIRES TO START. SO THE FIRE DANGER IS GOING TO GO UP BY TUESDAY. WE’LL HAVE MORE ON THAT COMING UP. NOW BACK OVER TO YOU DIRK. THANK YOU SO MUCH. KCRA 3’S MICHELLE BANDUR IS LIVE IN THE HARDEST HIT NEIGHBORHOOD NEAR STEARMAN AND BERNARD ROADS, WHERE THE FIRE DESTROYED AT LEAST ONE HOME. MICHELLE, I KNOW YOU WERE JUST ABLE TO SPEAK WITH THE FAMILY IMPACTED BY THIS. WHAT DID THEY SAY? WELL, THEY ARE JUST DISTRAUGHT AND DEVASTATED OVER LOSING THEIR HOME. AND WE HAVE TO TELL YOU, THE CURTIS FAMILY DID GIVE US PERMISSION TO BE ON THEIR PROPERTY. AND YOU CAN JUST SEE THE DEVASTATION JUST SHOWING YOU WHAT THEY HAVE ON THEIR PROPERTY. THEY LIKE TO WORK ON OLD CARS AND YOU CAN SEE THERE’S A LOT OF CARS THERE THAT ARE BURNED OUT. YOU JUST SEE THE SHELLS THERE, A LOT OF TREES, OF COURSE, THAT ARE TAKEN DOWN. AND OF COURSE NONE OF THE STRUCTURES OR THE BUILDINGS ARE THERE. THE CURTIS SON TELLS ME THAT THE BACK BARN CAUGHT FIRE, AND THAT’S WHAT STARTED IT ON THEIR PROPERTY, AND IT JUST GOT OUT OF CONTROL. THERE. NOW, I ALSO WANT TO TELL YOU THAT CAL FIRE CREWS ARE ON SCENE HERE. STILL, THEY SAID THERE ARE SOME HOT SPOTS ON THE PROPERTY AND THEY’VE ALSO TAPED OFF, AS YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE, ALL OF THESE TREES HERE, THEY SAY IT’S DANGEROUS TO BE IN THAT AREA BECAUSE THEY’RE AFRAID THAT THE TREES MAY FALL. SO THEY’RE KEEPING AN EYE ON THAT. THEY ALSO TOLD US, JUST TO BE AWARE THAT, YOU KNOW, A HOT SPOT COULD COME UP HERE WITH THE WINDS THAT YOU CAN HEAR HERE. UM, AND THERE COULD BE WE HAVE TO MOVE AND GET OUT OF THE AREA. BUT, YOU KNOW, WHILE THE CURTIS IS HEATED, EVACUATION ORDERS, THEIR NEIGHBOR, WHO IS ACROSS THE STREET IN ONE HOUSE DOWN, DECIDED TO STAY AND DECIDED TO PROTECT HIS HOME. EVERYTHING AROUND US IS BURNING. ALL MY NEIGHBORS ARE BURNING. ALL THE NEIGHBORHOODS BURNING. EVERYTHING IS BURNING. MY PHONE IS GOING CRAZY. ALL DAY LONG. PEOPLE ARE WORRIED ABOUT YOU. OH YEAH, 100%. WE COULDN’T LEAVE. WE COULDN’T. NO ONE COULD COME IN. NO ONE COULD LEAVE. UH, IT’S JUST BEEN WILD. THE FIRES WERE JUST INSANE. 200 FOOT FLAMES. SMOKE EVERYWHERE. COULDN’T BREATHE. ONCE KERN GILL GOT HIS FAMILY TO SAFETY AND EVACUATED FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, HE STAYED TO PROTECT HIS HOME AS WELL AS HIS NEIGHBOR’S PROPERTY. YOU GOT YOUR SPRINKLERS? THE FLAMES JUMPED OVER THE EMBERS JUMPED OVER TO THE JUNIPER TREES AND LIT THOSE UP. AND THEN I HAD MY GARDEN HOSES GOING BECAUSE I DIDN’T WANT ALL THE EMBERS THAT WERE FLYING OVER TO MY PROPERTY. I WAS JUST PUTTING THEM OUT WITH THE GARDEN HOSE. 30 YEARS OF MEMORIES AND POSSESSIONS AND ALL GONE. THE ELDERLY COUPLE WHO LIVES HERE, 75 YEAR OLD CHRISTIE CURTIS AND HER HUSBAND, 84 YEAR OLD STEPHEN, SHOWED UP WITH THEIR KIDS TO SEE THE DAMAGE AND IF ANYTHING WAS LEFT OF THEIR HOME, THEY HAD ABOUT 10 OR 15 MINUTES FROM THE TIME THAT THE OFFICER KNOCKED ON THE DOOR TO TELL THEM TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AND THEY GRABBED THE DOGS. THE TURTLE, AND A LITTLE BIT OF CLOTHES AND LEFT. THEY DIDN’T EVEN REMEMBER TO TAKE MEDS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO THEIR HOUSES, YOU CAN SEE, IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED OUT HERE TRYING TO SAVE HOUSES, NEIGHBOR’S HOUSES BURNT TO THE GROUND. YEAH, IT WAS A VERY, VERY, UH, SAD THING TO SEE JUST PEOPLE’S HOUSES JUST BURNING UP YARDS BURNING UP. UNFORTUNATELY, OUR NEIGHBOR RIGHT THERE LOST THEIR WHOLE ENTIRE HOUSE. YEAH, I’M BACK OUT HERE, LIVE ON THE CURTIS PROPERTY. YOU KNOW, WE NOTICED THAT THEIR WIND CHIMES STILL HANGING IN THE TREE. THOSE DON’T LOOK TO BE BURNED AT ALL, BUT THE REST OF THEIR PROPERTY JUST LOST HERE. AND AGAIN, THE FAMILY JUST DISTRAUGHT. SO THE CURTIS’S THE SON TELLS ME THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO GET OUT WITH THEIR TWO DOGS AND THEIR TURTLE. AND WHEN THEY WERE HERE ON THE PROPERTY EARLIER TODAY, THEY FOUND A METAL STATUE OF A TURTLE, ONE OF THEIR FAVORITE, ONE OF HIS MOTHER’S FAVORITES. SO SHE WAS ABLE TO TAKE THAT WITH HER. ONLY ONE THING SHE WAS ABLE TO GET, BUT IT MEANS A LOT TO HER AND OF COURSE, HER CHILDREN. JUST SO GRATEFUL THAT THEIR PARENTS HEEDED THE EVACUATION ORDERS AND GOT OUT OF HERE. WHEN THEY DID, AND THAT NO ONE WAS HURT IN THIS CORRAL FIRE HERE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD REPORTING LIVE IN SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY, MICHELLE BANDUR OR KCRA THREE NEWS. IT IS SUCH A RELIEF TO HEAR THAT THEY’RE AT LEAST PHYSICALLY OKAY. MICHELLE, THANK YOU SO MUCH. KCRA 3’S.
