Northern California wildfire destroys hundreds of structures an Thousand of Home
Northern California wildfire destroys hundreds of structures an Thousand of Home,California wildfires, pray for California,
A rapidly spreading wildfire destroyed hundreds of homes and other buildings as it roared through the northern California village of Middletown and several nearby communities, chasing thousands of residents from their homes, fire officials said on Sunday.
The so-called Valley Fire, now ranking as the most destructive among scores of blazes that have raged across the drought-stricken Western United States this summer, came amid what California fire officials described as unheard of fire behavior this season.
Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency in areas ravaged by the blaze, and officials expanded mandatory evacuations as shifting winds sent flames and ash toward a number of towns in the hills north of Napa Valley wine country.
The Valley Fire has consumed more than 50,000 acres since erupting Saturday afternoon in rural Lake County, California, about 50 miles west of Sacramento, the state capital, fire officials said on Sunday.
Thousands of evacuees from Middletown, Cobb, Hidden Valley Lake and the Harbin Hot Springs resort gathered in shelters, restaurants and friends' houses in nearby Kelseyville and Calistoga waiting to hear about their homes, horses and dogs.
Middletown and the town of Cobb, just to the north, were reported to be hardest hit by the flames, with large swaths of Middletown left in ruins, according to officials, eyewitnesses and local media reports.
Video footage from Middletown showed a smoking, devastated landscape of blackened, burned-out vehicles and the charred foundations of buildings that had been reduced to ash.
While crews have not had a chance to do a full damage assessment ... we know 100s of structures have been destroyed, Daniel Berlant, a spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, said in a Twitter post.
This has been a very destructive fire. It has destroyed countless homes and other buildings, he said in a video news briefing released a short time later. Evacuations are widespread in the area.
He said a combination of prolonged drought and a heat wave baking the region in triple-digit temperatures last week had left vegetation tinder dry and highly combustible, setting the stage for a conflagration that thwarted the best efforts of firefighters to contain it.

Started the day off with a simple real estate shoot in at Hoberg, Ca. shooting a 57 acre project when scouting the property, to the west the #ValleyFire had just started about 10 miles to my west and it was heading our direction! Was under mandatory evacuation 4 times today, helped folks get their stuff out of the fire's path... The following are some of todays photos, at times no less then 30ft to the fire and at times 200 yards from fields that were ablaze, which spawned upward of 5 FireDevils.
**CalFire/Law Enforcement is simply awesome, they were on this from the time it started. It has been a concerted land and air attack on this fire.

Filipina finds hope after losing three homes in CA wildfire
What's left of once serene, picturesque communities in California --- are homes reduced to ashes, thanks to a pair of explosive wildfires ravaging the state.
The Valley Fire, affecting Lake, Sonoma and Napa counties, have so far consumed 67,000 acres, displaced 13,000 people, threatened 9,000 structures, destroyed close to 600 homes and killed one person. More than 2,000 firefighters have managed to contain 15% of the fire.
The Butte Fire, east of Sacramento, has burned over 71,000 acres, displaced 10,000, threatened 6,400 structures and destroyed more than 280 homes and buildings. So far, 37% have been contained.
California Governor Jerry Brown has declared a state of emergency in four counties. Brown said, These are the serious fires. People have been killed. Hundreds of structures -- more than that, actually -- have been destroyed, and more to come. We don't predict, because fire is indeterminate. We don't know what happens until it actually starts .. starts burning.
Never did Arlene Azarcon think her retirement home and two other properties would be decimated in the Valley Fire. Azarcon, who is now vacationing in Madrid, was shocked when her house was shown burning in an ABC news report. She expressed, It's hard. It's hard-earned money but they're just material things and I can always recover.
Even when a neighbor sent her images of her properties --- all burned to the ground --- Azarcon chose to find hope and reason amid the tragedy. Actually, I feel fortunate because I'm alive and I feel like God has a reason for it - get a new life and I just have to move on, she said.
All three of Azarcon's destroyed properties were owned outright. But she failed to get insurance for all of them. Still, she knows she can rebuild, upon her return to the Bay Area next week.
She related, I just pray and know that there's a reason for this and just to learn that whatever we experience in our life is a life lesson that we have to learn from and that you can't do anything about the past and what has happened and just accept and move on.
Governor Brown stated that more and bigger wildfires are on the way --- and this is mostly because of climate change and California's historic drought. California has sought help for additional crews from other states and has also tapped the National Guard to deal with the worsening fire season.
