Pimlott said, “Every spark is going to ignite a fire.Most of these fires have limited or no containment. These are rapidly burning fires. Almost the entire efforts last night and early this morning are focused on evacuations and moving citizens out of harm’s way.”

Napa County Fire Chief Barry Bierman said, “Right now with these conditions we can’t get ahead of this fire.”

In an interview with KTVU, Cal Fire Battalion Chief Jonathan Cox said, “We’re still saving lives at the moment. This fire has gotten explosive due to the wind.”
