#GlassFire

Woke up to Nixle alerts about a new fire they named the #GlassFire. This one started in the middle of the night. Please pray for all those in its path and our winery friends - this is a fast moving fire in the northern valley. The fire has jumped the trail near Deer Park Road. (I did not take this photo - it is from a Napa Valley private group site on Facebook - the photo was taken traveling south on the Silverado Trail toward Crystal Springs Rd)

5:52 am Update - evacuations now mandatory for Silverado Trail area from Larkmead Lane to Deer Park Road.

6:23 am update - Angwin now under mandatory evacuation. CalFire brought in air support and bulldozers that seem to be helping some. Fire still spreading but not as rapidly. No reports on acreage or any structure damage.

Oh no, not again.

This is nuts. Mandatory evacuations in process. This is right at Mending Wall for those wondering.

A resident of Crystal Springs Road St Helena just reported that the fire is moving up the hilly terrain there very quickly and she believes (without any actual knowledge) that structures are likely affected. No word yet on how this started.

We can smell the smoke here in Sonoma County. Hoping Cal-Fire can get this under control quickly.

Just spoke with Mike Smith, he’s across Valley from the fire. Said he woke up to the smell of smoke but if he looks up he sees stars in the sky. Says it’s windy as fu¢k.

ABC News is reporting that the fire is up to 50 acres. Stay safe up there. There is a wind advisory through tomorrow morning, which will not help fighting this fire.

Taken from the trail.

Temps are going to be in the low 100s for the next couple days. Crap

Fire about 100 acres at last report. This was taken about 15 minutes ago from 29. Ugh. (Photo credit Caroline Garcia)

Just saw this which is reporting a lot larger fire:

Wow. Did you take that shot? It’s…iconic. The videos on twitter are awful. Hope those air tankers get there fast.

Yikes. For folks who have a good sense of the location, which vineyards and/or wineries are are in the immediate vicinity?

Just awful! May the air support get there soon! Be safe!

Yup - it blew up big time. :disappointed: if that report is a accurate it appears the fire is close to mending wall.

Be safe everyone

So very sad.

No I cannot take credit for this. It was taken by a friend.

Damn - not again…

Stay safe folks, thoughts and prayers
