00:52 Northwest Dries Out and Turns Hot Meteorologist Heather Tesch takes a look at a pattern change for the Northwest.

At a Glance The Getty Fire, which began Monday morning, has burned over 600 acres.

A 6-mile stretch of southbound Interstate 405 was closed in the Sepulveda Pass.

The fast-growing Kincade Fire pushed near the outskirts of Santa Rosa, California.

PG&E said power could begin to be restored to 965,000 customers, but more shut-offs could come Tuesday.

Gov. Newsom declared a state of emergency because of the fires. A new fire Monday burned homes and prompted evacuations in Los Angeles while 400 miles to the north, the Kincade Fire nearly doubled in size as it neared the city of Santa Rosa.

In a bit of good news later in the day Monday, Cal Fire announced that some residents in the area of the Kincade Fire were being allowed to return home but remained under an evacuation warning and should stay vigilant.

Meanwhile, Pacific Gas and Electric issued a weather "all-clear" meaning as soon as the lines are checked, electricity could be turned on again for customers whose power was shut off Saturday. However, the utility has warned, another round of shut-offs could begin Tuesday because of fire danger.

The Getty Fire began on the west side of the 405 freeway near the Getty Center about 1:30 a.m. PDT Monday, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. By noon Monday, it had spread to 618 acres, and evacuations were ordered from Mulholland Boulevard south to W. Sunset Boulevard, east to the 405 and west to Temescal Canyon Road.

Southbound 405 was closed from Highway 101 to Sunset Boulevard, the California Highway Patrol announced about 8:30 a.m. Northbound 405 remained open.

LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger were among the people told to leave their homes.

In Northern California, the Kincade Fire had burned more than 103 square miles and was only 5% contained early Monday. Nearly 80,000 structures were threatened by it. On Sunday, it had roared south to the outskirts of the city of Windsor, California, and edged closer to the city of Santa Rosa, leading to more evacuations.

More than 4,150 personnel continued to fight the fire, which has destroyed 96 structures, including buildings at several Sonoma County wineries. Forty homes have also been destroyed.

Brush and fencing on the northern side of Windsor burned right up to the backyards of some homes. The fire also reached the Shiloh Ridge area north of Santa Rosa, but there was no immediate threat to the city, according to the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office.

Two firefighters were injured on Sunday near the Kincade Fire, including one that had to be airlifted due to his burn injuries. The second sustained minor burn injuries.

Evacuations were also ordered in neighboring Napa County.

Smoke from the Kincade Fire is drifting into the San Francisco Bay Area as winds die down.

“Unfortunately, it looks like the whole Bay Area will see more smoke later this afternoon and this evening,” Spencer Tangen, a National Weather Service meteorologist, told the San Francisco Chronicle. “You'll be able to smell it, taste it and see it.”

The "Kincade Fire remains the most stubborn challenge we face," California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a press conference Sunday evening.

Newsom declared a statewide emergency because of "the effects of unprecedented high-wind events which have resulted in fires and evacuations across the state," according to a statement .

"We are deploying every resource available, and are coordinating with numerous agencies as we continue to respond to these fires. It is critical that people in evacuation zones heed the warnings from officials and first responders, and have the local and state resources they need as we fight these fires,” Newsom said.

Power Outages

PG&E said Monday that instead of cutting off power to 940,000 customers, it shut off electricity to 960,000 customers over the weekend.

Restoring power to those customers could take until Wednesday because all the lines have to be inspected, the utility said. PG&E also warned that winds expected to arrive Tuesday could lead to shut-offs in parts of 32 counties.

The counties that could be affected are Alameda, Alpine, Amador, Butte, Calaveras, Colusa, Contra Costa, El Dorado, Glenn, Humboldt, Kern, Lake, Marin, Mariposa, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Shasta, Sierra, Solano, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Tehama, Trinity, Tuolumne, Yolo, Yuba.

PG&E equipment may be linked to two fires along Highway 24 in Lafayette, the Chronicle reported, citing two reports issued by the company and released Monday by state regulators. The fires started in the same location and at the same general time as two PG&E electrical malfunctions, the report said.

The utility, California's biggest, earlier said a broken wire was found on a transmission tower near where the Kincade Fire began Wednesday. In another filing with state regulators , PG&E The utility said it registered an outage at the tower at 9:20 p.m. Wednesday, seven minutes before the fire started.

PG&E also informed state regulators it had failed to notify 23,000 customers, including 500 with medical conditions, before shutting off their power at the beginning of October, according to the Associated Press. The outages Oct. 9-12 affected 636,000 homes, 81,000 businesses and 11,000 other customers in the first of a series of mass shut-offs to prevent wildfires caused by electrical equipment.

Here's the latest on the fires around the state:

Getty Fire

More than 600 members of the Los Angeles Fire Department were battling the fast-moving Getty Fire that began early Monday.

In addition to the mandatory evacuations for about 3,300 homes, residents west of Temescal Canyon Road between Mulholland Drive to the north, Topanga Canyon to the west and Sunset Boulevard to the south were warned to be ready to evacuate if the fire continues moving west.

"Make sure if you have the evacuation notice and you're listening to me right now and you're still in your home, leave. Leave your home," Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said at a news conference.

Later, at a second news conference, Garcetti said eight homes had been destroyed in the fire and another five were damaged.

Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Ralph Terraza said of the firefighters battling the Getty Fire, “They were literally overwhelmed. They had to make some tough decisions on which houses they were able to protect. Many times it depends upon where the ember lands.”

Southbound 405 through the Sepulveda Pass was closed from Highway 101 to Sunset Boulevard about 8:30 a.m. Northbound 405 remained open, but exit ramps on 405 and many surrounding roads had been closed earlier because of the fire. Officials urged motorists to avoid the 405.

More than a dozen schools were closed because of the fire. Students at Mount St. Mary’s University in Brentwood were rousted from their dorms as the fire spread toward the campus, the Los Angeles Times reported. At one point, the campus was surrounded by flames.

The University of California, Los Angeles announced on Twitter the school was cancelling classes Monday. The tweet said there was no immediate threat to campus, but members of the campus community lived in evacuation areas or may have be impacted by closures.

LeBron James, who bought a home in the Brentwood neighborhood when he joined the Lakers in 2018, was among the celebrities forced to evacuate . He tweeted just before 4 a.m. that the fire was "no joke." He later said he and his family had found a place to stay, and he was praying for all families affected by the fire.

Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger tweeted that he and his family also evacuated.

"Right now I am grateful for the best firefighters in the world, the true action heroes who charge into the danger to protect their fellow Californians," his tweet said.

The Getty Center, a sprawling museum complex for which the fire was named, is not threatened by the fire, Capt. Erik Scott, an LAFD public information officer, said at an early morning news conference.

More on the Kincade Fire

More than 180,000 residents in Northern California have been ordered to evacuate their homes because of the fast-growing Kincade Fire, the Associated Press reported, including the towns of Healdsburg and Windsor and parts of Santa Rosa. The evacuation zones extended all the way to the coast. Total evacuations across California include 200,000 people.

Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick said at a news conference Monday morning that because residents evacuated, firefighters were able to fight the blaze more aggressively. He said that fight saved the city of Windsor.

“Had that area not been evacuated those firefighters would not have been as effective as they were; we had a lot of success,” Essick said.

Fire Chief Mike Blankenheim, the Kincade Fire incident commander, said priorities for firefighters Monday would be perimeter control in the northeast corner of the fire near Mount St. Helena, the Mark West area on the fire's western side and Shiloh Ridge to the south.

An evacuation warning was issued midday Sunday for the city of Calistoga and surrounding areas of Napa County. Residents living north of Dunaweal Lane to the Lake County line and from the Sonoma County line east to Pickett Road were told to prepare for possible evacuation.

Pacific Gas and Electric announced Sunday afternoon it was shutting off natural gas t o about 23,000 customers in northern Sonoma County near the Kincade Fire for safety reasons, the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat reported.

At least two hospitals were evacuated over the weekend.

Structures at three wineries burned, including the Soda Rock Winery in Healdsburg. There, a stone building erected in 1869 was completely engulfed in flames, according to the Chronicle. Buildings were also burning at Field Stone Winery and Moville Vineyards.

Sheriff Essick said Highway 101 had been reopened.

Altogether, 94 structures have been destroyed, and 17 have been damaged by the Kincade Fire, which has burned nearly 85 square miles, according to Cal Fire.

The Kincade Fire was first reported near Geyserville on Wednesday and subsequently exploded in size. The cause of the fire is under investigation, but there were some indications that a PG&E power line may have sparked the blaze.

Vallejo and Crockett Fires

Two separate fires broke out across both sides of the Carquinez Strait on Sunday, including the Glen Cove Fire in the city of Vallejo and the Sky Fire near the city of Crockett.

Interstate 80 was closed at the Carquinez Bridge for roughly 6 hours Sunday as the fire exploded near the bridge. The fire forced the evacuation of California State University Maritime Academy, or Cal Maritime.

The city of Vallejo declared a water emergency Sunday as its pumping station was left unable to treat water because of the pre-emptive power shut-off. The fire has simmered down and forward progress has stopped. About 55 acres burned, according to Cal Fire.

The Sky Fire in Crockett expanded to about 150 acres. On Monday morning, Cal Fire said it was 90% contained.

Other Fires

Shortly before 2 p.m. Sunday, officials in Contra Costa County said two fires had broken out in Lafayette and they were growing quickly. Evacuations were ordered near Camino Diablo and Springbrook Road. Another fire was burning at Pleasant Hill Road and Condit. The Lafayette Tennis Club was burned to the ground , and two other structures were damaged in the fire.

In addition to the fires, strong winds also killed one man and injured a woman in Central California. Police said the victims were possibly homeless and camping in a remote area of Pogonip Park in Santa Cruz when the tree fell Sunday morning.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, winds toppled trees and knocked out power to areas where the utility had not shut off power. The gusts knocked over a 30-foot tree at a farmers' market in Martinez, injuring nine people, including a toddler. Six people were taken to a hospital but the injuries were not life-threatening, police said.

In Southern California, human remains were found Saturday in the scorched path of the Tick Fire that burned at least 18 structures, including six houses. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said Saturday it was too soon to know if the death is connected to the fire in Santa Clarita, just outside of Los Angeles. The death is under investigation.

The Tick Fire started Thursday afternoon and triggered evacuation orders for 50,000 people. Most were allowed to return to their homes Saturday morning when the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station lifted evacuation orders . As of Monday, the blaze had burned about 7.2 square miles and was 75% contained. The fire destroyed 22 structures and damaged another 27.

Three fires that began early Sunday on Bethel Island and near Oakley, California, in rural Contra Costa County, led to the evacuation of residents of a mobile home park and a neighborhood, fire officials said. All evacuation orders were lifted about 11:30 a.m. Sunday. Two of the fires were fully contained and the third was 50% contained, the Chronicle reported.

Two new fires that broke out Friday prompted evacuations. The Miller Fire near Valley Center, about 38 miles north of San Diego, burned three structures and damaged one other. It was 100% contained on Monday after burning 37 acres. The Sawday Fire had burned nearly 100 acres and was 98 percent contained. Evacuations were ordered on Friday but later lifted.

Another fire, called the Burris Fire, erupted in Mendocino County to the northwest of the Kincade Fire spurring the need for additional evacuations in the Cold Creek Ranch area. The fire was roughly 350 acres and 20% contained on Monday.
