ANYONE WHO WITNESSED IT IS URGED TO PLEASE CONTACT CITRUS HEIGHTS PD. LET’S TURN NOW TO WILDFIRE COVERAGE IN THIS MORNING. THOUSANDS OF FIREFIGHTERS ARE TRYING TO GAIN CONTAINMENT ON THE PICKETT FIRE. THIS IS THE ONE IN NAPA COUNTY. THAT FIRE HAS GROWN TO MORE THAN 6800 ACRES SINCE IT SPARKED LAST THURSDAY. SINCE THAT TIME, CREWS HAVE WORKED DAY AND NIGHT TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL. IT’S BURNING IN STEEP, RUGGED TERRAIN AND IT’S MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR CREWS TO GET THERE. CONTAINMENT IS AT 11%. EVACUATION ORDERS AND WARNINGS ARE STILL IN EFFECT. FIREFIGHTING CREWS HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED ACROSS THE STATE IN ANTICIPATION OF THE HOT, DRY CONDITIONS AND THE CHANCE OF DRY LIGHTNING ON FRIDAY. GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM DIRECTED THE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES TO DEPLOY MORE RESOURCES TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AFTER ALREADY SENDING RESOURCES TO LA KERN, VENTURA, SANTA BARBARA AND SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES EARLIER IN THE WEEK. AND OVER THE WEEKEND. HE ALSO ORDERED OAS TO DEPLOY THE EXTRA RESOURCES TO PLACER, SIERRA AND NEVADA COUNTIES. 64 FIRE ENGINES, 17 WATER TENDERS, NINE BULLDOZERS, FIVE HELICOPTERS, TEN HAND CREWS AND TWO INCIDENT MANAGEMENT TEAMS ARE NOW STATIONED IN THOSE COUNTIES. ON TOP OF THE CREWS AND THE EQUIPMENT THAT ARE WORKING THERE. WE ARE FOLLOWING BREAKING NEWS OUT OF NORTH SACRAMENTO RIGHT NOW. CREWS ARE BATTLING A BUILDING FIRE. THIS IS ON DIXON AVENUE, JUST OFF DEL PASO. KCRA 3’S MIKE TESELLE IS AT THE SCENE. SO, MIKE, WHAT’S HAPPENED OUT THERE? YEAH, AND A VERY ACTIVE SCENE AT THIS MOMENT. WE JUST PULLED UP, JUST WALKED UP HERE AND YOU CAN SEE FIRE CREWS IN THE SMOKE. THEY’RE DEALING WITH A FIRE THAT IS HERE ALONG DEL PASO INVOLVING WHAT I’M TOLD IS A BUTLER STYLE BUILDING, WHICH MEANS THERE’S A LOT OF METAL EXTERIOR. BUT WHAT THEY’RE DEALING WITH HERE IS THEY HAD A PARTIAL ROOF COLLAPSE. SO CREWS HAVING TO GO DEFENSIVE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND THEN JUST GOT DONE TALKING TO AN INFORMATION OFFICER WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WHO SAID THERE’S A NEARBY APARTMENT COMPLEX, AN ADJACENT APARTMENT COMPLEX WHERE THEY’RE GOING TO BE EVACUATING SOME OF THE UNITS JUST SO THAT THEY CAN POSITION SOME OF THEIR FIRE EQUIPMENT THERE, AS THAT’S MORE OF A PRECAUTION, MORE THAN A THREAT AT THIS POINT IN TIME. DON’T SEE ANY VISIBLE FLAMES AT THIS POINT COMING FROM THE INTERIOR OF THAT BUILDING. SO THEY ARE POURING A LOT OF WATER ON THIS FROM THE TOP OF THE LADDER TRUCK DOWN INTO THIS BUILDING WHERE THAT ROOF COLLAPSE WAS. SO AGAIN, YOU KNOW, AT THIS POINT IN TIME, THEY ARE IN A DEFENSIVE STANCE. BUT FIRE CREWS SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, NO REPORTS AT THIS POINT OF ANY INJURIES OR ANY PEOPLE WHO WERE INSIDE THIS COMMERCIAL STRUCTURE HERE ALONG DEL PASO BOULEVARD. SO WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS SITUATION, BRING YOU THE LATEST DETAILS AS WE GET THEM. I KNOW AS WE SPEAK, THE PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER FOR THE SACRAMENTO FIRE DEPARTMENT TRYING TO GET UP TO DATE ON MORE DETAILS THAN WHAT I JUST GAVE YOU. THAT’S EVERYTHING THAT HE KNEW UP TO THIS POINT. BUT AN ACTIVE SCENE THAT IS DEFINITELY IMPACTING EL PASO BOULEVARD. IN FACT, JUST TO GIVE YOU A SENSE, THIS IS DEL PASO BOULEVARD AND YOU CAN SEE THE AMOUNT OF FIRE APPARATUS THAT IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS ROADWAY. SO IF YOU’RE COMING OUT OF DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO, JUST BE AWARE, EL PASO BOULEVARD RIGHT NOW, BLOCKED BY A WHOLE LOT OF FIRE ACTIVITY FOR THIS ONGOING BREAKING NEWS LIVE IN SACRAMENTO, MIKE TESELLE KCRA 3 NEWS.
