GOOD EVENING, I AM ONE FITNESS. >> SKY NINE IS LIVE OVER THE FIREFIGHT AS THE FIRES BURN OUT OF CONTROL. EVACUATION ORDER IS IN PLACE RIGHT NOW. THIS IS THE AREA SOUTH OF STETSON AVENUE EAST OF STATE STREET, WEST OF FAIRVIEW AVENUE NORTH OF CACTUS VALLEY ROAD. JUAN: THIS IS THE ONLY FIRE BURNING, LIVE TEAM COVERAGE OF THE FIRE AND ROLLING BLACKOUTS DURING THIS EXTREME HEAT. YOU BEGIN WITH NICOLE COMSTOCK. >> WE ARE STANDING ALONG HERE IN HEMET, LUCY MOST OF THE HOMES BURNED IN THE FIRE AND THE FLAMES ARE STILL MOVING FAIRLY QUICKLY TONIGHT EVEN WITHOUT WIND BUT CAL FIRE TELLS US THIS AFTERNOON WHEN THE FIRE STARTED, LOOK AT THIS VIDEO, THEY WERE DEALING WITH INTENT GUSTY SANTA ANA WIND CONDITIONS THAT FUELED THE FIRE THROUGH BRUSH AND STARTING DRY DURING THE DROUGHT AND WAS ABLE TO OVERTAKE SEVERAL HOMES, WE ARE NOT SURE HOW MANY WERE DESTROYED WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AT LEAST SEVEN OF THEM HAVE SIGNIFICANT BURN DAMAGE. CAL FIRE TELLS US THE FIRE EXPLODED TODAY IN AN AREA THEY CALL AVERY CANYON. BY THE TIME YOU MADE IT OUT HERE, TWO PEOPLE HAD ALREADY PASSED AWAY IN THE THIRD PERSON TRYING TO MAKE IT OUT SUFFERED SIGNIFICANT BURN INJURIES. AT LEAST 1500 HOMES HAVE BEEN EVACUATED, CAL FIRE SAYS THEY FEAR AT LEAST 5000 HOMES COULD STILL BE THREATENED, 700 ACRES BURNED SO FAR. LISTEN TO FIRE CHIEF WITH CAL FIRE. >> WE HAD TWO FATALITIES ON THIS AND ONE CIVILIAN BURNED. THAT PATIENT HAS BEEN TRANSPORTED TO A LOCAL BURN CENTER. WE DO KNOW THE AREA THEY WERE IN IS AN AREA THAT'S A ONE WAY IN AND ONE WAY OUT AREA AND IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS CANYON, A LOT OF OVERGROWTH IN THE AREA. I HAVEN'T SEEN FIRE BURNED IN THE AREA. PROBABLY 30 YEARS NOW. >> YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHERE HOMES ARE DEEP DOWN ALONG DIRT ROADS, HOW DIFFICULT IT IS FOR FIREFIGHTERS TO MAKE IT IN THERE TO SAVE HOMES AND PEOPLE. WHILE FIRE ENGINES TRYING TO DEFEND THE REST OF THE HOMES THEY ARE ABLE TOO AND THROUGHOUT THE DAY THEY WERE HITTING THE FIRE WITH WATER DROPS AND FIRE RETARDANT BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE BEGINNING PART OF THE FIRE IT TOOK OFF AND BURNED THE HOMES. EVACUATION ORDERS CONTINUE TO EXPAND OUT HERE. LESLEY: A LOT OF DEVASTATION. WE CONTINUE DOESN'T SHOW LIVE FROM SKY NINE. >> THIS IS ONE OF SEVERAL HOMES LOOSING BURNED. THIS ONE IS ON AVERY CANYON IN THE 42200 BLOCK I BELIEVE OF AVERY CANYON, IT'S GOING TO BE A TOTAL LOSS. I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE FIRE, IT'S STRANGE NOTHING ELSE IS BURNING IN THE VICINITY BUT CAN SEE IN THE FAR DISTANCE MAJORITY OF THE FIRE, THAT IS BURNING IN MORE OF A WILDERNESS AREA ON THE SOUTHEASTERN SIDE YOU SEE HOW FALLACIOUS THE FIRE LOOKS AND IT'S ESSENTIALLY BURNING OUT OF CONTROL BECAUSE THERE ARE NO AIR ASSETS ARE DROPPING HELICOPTERS. WE WILL NOT GET THOSE UNTIL SOMETIME IN THE MORNING. I WILL USE THE MAP TRACTOR TO SHOW YOU, BRUSHY IN THE AREAS IN THE SHADOW ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE HEMET AREA. YOU HEARD SABIC CONFIRMED TWO PEOPLE KILLED IN AT LEAST SEVEN POSSIBLY EIGHT HOMES IN THE FAIRVIEW FIRE BURNING OUT OF CONTROL. JUAN: WE SEE A LOT OF, THAT HOME BURNING, IT'S INTERESTING HOW NOTHING ELSE IS BURNING SO MOST LIKELY EMBERS HAVE FLOWN IN. IS THERE ANYTHING BEHIND IT IN ITS PATH? >> WHERE IT IS GOING I THINK IT MAY BE BURNING MORE IN A WILDERNESS AREA WHERE IT IS FAR FROM HOMES, THE MAIN PART OF THE PLACE HERE AS I SHOW YOU HERE. I DON'T BELIEVE IS BURNING TOWARD ANY HOMES AT THE MOMENT. IT MAY BE EVEN THE TOP OF A RIDGE LINE, IT'S GOING TO SLOW DOWN THE FIRE BECAUSE THE FIRE IS IMPORTANT AS W EL L DOW
