The evacuation order for the residents of Geyserville remains as the Kincade Fire grew to over 21,000 acres and has destroyed nearly 50 structures as of early Friday morning.
There have been no reported injuries or fatalities from the fire that started northeast of Geyserville Wednesday evening.
At a news conference in Geyserville on Thursday night, Cal Fire Deputy Fire Chief Mike Parkes said weather conditions that triggered a red flag warning for much of the North Bay had improved. But the reprieve will be brief.
The forecast currently calls for 40 to 60 mph gusts over “most of the elevated terrain of Northern California,” with peak gusts of 70 to 80 mph in isolated locations, said Scott Strenfel, Pacific Gas & Electric Co. chief meteorologist, at a news conference in San Francisco.
Utility officials said another public safety power shutoff could be called for parts of the East Bay, San Francisco Peninsula, North Bay, Central Coast, Humboldt County and Sierra Foothills. It remains to be seen exactly how many customers would be affected.
