Copied from Esther Lemus post FIRE UPDATE FOR WINDSOR: Good morning, Windsor. Here’s an update on the Kincade Fire and matters of concern to Windsor residents. It’s looking like we may experience heavy winds through tonight and things should calm by Wednesday morning (per Cal Fire). The good news is that we are looking to re-populate Windsor very soon, I am hoping within the next few days. We are working with Cal Fire, law enforcement, and public works officials to make this call. Thank you for your patience with the re-entry process as we all wait to return to our homes. Here are some fire details as of 7:00 am this morning on 10/29/19 - - Fire is now at 75,415 acres and containment has increased to 15% - Full containment is expected by November 7th - First Responder injuries: 2 - Civilian injuries: 0 - Total structures destroyed: 124 (57 residential, 5 commercial, 62 other) - Total structures damaged: 23 (15 residential, 1 commercial, 7 other) WINDSOR losses: (per Fire Chief Mark Heine) Unfortunately, 2 houses on Vinecrest did burn. These were just outside of Town limits. Additionally, 2 houses were lost and 2 were damaged on Shiloh Ridge. To those who lost their homes, my heartfelt apology for your losses. Please know that we are here to support you. ❤️ Weather conditions: Wind will pick up TODAY and serious fire fighting will resume. CalFire will work with local officials to determine when Windsor can "repopulate.” The sequence (Countywide) is likely to be in reverse order of evacuation - e.g., West County is now open for return and has now converted to “Evacuation Warning" status We will continue to post updates as we learn new information and will ABSOLUTELY let you know ASAP when we learn that the evacuation order has been lifted for Windsor * PLEASE text or call me if you have any questions. I am available to you. I can be reached directly at (707) 608-8321 Thank you, Esther Lemus

WINDSOR: This is the most updated news from this morning's county press conference. We are all watching the winds today to make sure they don't blow the fire west again toward the 101 corridor, which includes us. This is why we all ask for your CONTINUED PATIENCE as we try to protect you! Also there is a CODE BLUE warning for the rest of the week for freezing temps at night. Please make sure you are bundled up and in a warm place! We will continue to keep you updated. Below is a photo of the National Guard who are protecting your homes and keeping people out for safety reasons. The Guard is at all entrances to Windsor and within the town as well. ❤️
