 Driving out of Anderson Springs 9/12/15 at 8:30 pm 
  
  
  
 We were the last house at the very back of the Springs, down in a gulch, so we had no views of the surrounding mountains. There was no smoke or ash coming our way, and there were no sirens or air support nearby, so we honestly didn't know how close it was. Once we drove up out of our gulch, we realized how close it was. There were no sirens or air support because there was zero firefighting effort in Anderson Springs. (This is NOT a dig at the firefighters, by the way! There was just way too much fire in every direction, and they didn't have the resources to send to Anderson Springs. I have no hard feelings against the firefighters, they were busy risking their lives elsewhere! Anderson Springs) So anyway, that is how we ended up leaving WAY too late. In retrospect, we should have gone out for a drive to find out what was going on, but we were a little preoccupied with packing.

Three major wildfires were burning out of control, and Gov. Jerry Brown warned that, given the ravages of drought and the growing influence of climate change, "there is more to come." 
  
 In hilly and rural Lake County, a short drive north of the state's storied wine country, the ferocity and breakaway speed of the Valley fire stunned veteran firefighters, hampered strategic planning and gave rise to worries that it could be a harbinger of an extended, and unpredictable, fire season in the months ahead. 
  
 By Monday evening the still-raging fire had grown to 62,000 acres and was just 10% contained. Smoke had thinned just enough during the day to provide a clearer assessment of the scope of the devastation. The picture was a tragic one. 
  
 The death of a woman was confirmed Monday; sheriff's deputies had found her remains in a charred residence on Cobb Mountain the night before. Officials said there were other individuals unaccounted for. 
  
 A seven-mile stretch of Highway 175 connecting Cobb, where the fire originated, to the devastated town of Middletown was a corridor of destruction: blackened abandoned cars, denuded pine groves, dead animals, gutted houses. 
  
 "An extraordinarily hostile fire" said veteran firefighter Kevin Rosado, who was working near the highway Monday. 
  
 Two hundred miles to the east, in Sierra foothill Gold Country, the Butte fire by midday Monday had destroyed 135 homes in Amador and Calaveras counties. Crews had managed to carve out containment lines around a third of the fire, which has placed thousands of residences in peril. 
  
 To the south, the Rough fire burning in the Sequoia National Forest was reported to be 40% contained, but it already has devoured 211 square miles and filled the San Joaquin Valley with stifling smoke. 
  
 "These are serious fires," Brown said Monday at the State Office of Emergency Services. "People have been killed. Hundreds of structures have been destroyed. There is more to come." 
  
 Ken Pimlott, director of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, who joined Brown at a news conference, said the state already has experienced 6,000 fires this year — 1,500 more than last year. And, he added, "we don't see an end to fire season for months to come." 
  
 As he has previously done this fire season, Brown anecdotally drew a link between the volatility and frequency of recent wildfires to climate change. 
  
 "The fires are acting more aggressively, more unpredictably," he said. "It's scary stuff…. We are really in a battle with Mother Nature, and nature is more powerful than we are." 
  
 Though researchers generally applaud the governor's efforts to raise public awareness about climate change, not all are convinced the hard evidence is in yet to scientifically link a summer of intense wildfires with global warming. 
  
 "It's great that he's using fire to raise that awareness," said Max Moritz, co-director of the University of California Center for Fire Research and Outreach, "but there are still open questions over how much you can make those links. It's a tightrope." 
  
 Later in the day, the governor authorized $12.4 million in additional spending to help fight the Lake County and Gold Country fires — and the additional blazes he said were sure to come. 
  
 Part of the money will pay and equip 100 to 150 more firefighters through December. The bulk of it will provide additional helicopters and new buckets for scooping out water for aerial assaults. 
  
 By Monday, a light rain began to fall in the mountains where the Rough fire burned and across the San Joaquin Valley, raising hopes that the precipitation might help knock down the smoke and slow the fire. 
  
 In Lake County, it was the blaze's rapid eruption that caught firefighters off-guard. Within three hours Saturday it grew from a small fire of unknown origin burning near an outbuilding to a wall of flame that by Sunday evening had plowed through a number of small communities including Middletown, a 19th century stagecoach stop midway between Clear Lake and Calistoga. 
  
 Responding crews were forced to turn their focus from fighting a wind-blown inferno that was spitting spot fires out ahead of itself to helping residents frantically evacuate from homes clustered on rural roads or scattered through the flaming brush and conifers. 
  
 Scott L. Stephens, a professor of fire sciences at UC Berkeley, said the Valley fire's rapid spread was caused by its ability to throw off embers and kindle fallen timber, leaves and other vegetation dried by drought, creating additional spot fires in its path. 
  
 This, he said, "allows it to keep jumping and jumping at rates that are just horrendous. It's doing that giant hopscotch, and the drought has — no doubt — had to enhance that ability." 
  
 Throughout Sunday and into Monday, smoke and heavy turbulence prevented any aerial attacks — or even surveillance — adding to the difficulty of formulating a consistent plan of attack. 
  
 Fatally trapped in the fire was 72-year-old Barbara McWilliams, a former special education teacher who suffered from advanced multiple sclerosis. 
  
 The Sheriff's Department issued a statement Monday saying that deputies responded 22 minutes after receiving a 7:12 p.m. call about McWilliams on Saturday. But they were unable to reach the residence on Hot Springs Road because the subdivision "had already been engulfed by flames." 
  
 A friend of the victim told a Times reporter that she'd tried unsuccessfully with a 6:30 p.m. call to alert officials to McWilliams' predicament. 
  
 On Monday, most of the 1,800 firefighters assigned to the effort were concentrated on protecting individual homes, said Mike Smith, a Cal Fire spokesman. A total of 9,000 structures remained threatened. 
  
 The fire team did manage to dispatch a dozen helicopters to assist with those efforts and to gain a better perspective on the fire's pathways. 
  
 Those fighting it said they no longer see their work as battling an individual blaze. Rather, they regard it in terms of waging a two-month "campaign," one in which they have struggled to contain a string of notably intense and unusually fast-moving wildfires. 
  
 "Because this fire season has been so severe, especially in the north state," said Smith, "the resources on all of these fires are the same people, so you move from one incident to the next to the next, because there are only so many of us. 
  
 "Fatigue is becoming a factor."

 A resident of a small rural community in Lake County recorded harrowing video Saturday evening while driving to escape the Valley Fire, which has consumed 50,000 acres and injured four firefighters in Northern California. 
  
 The terrifying footage, nearly two minutes long and uploaded to YouTube by user "mulletFive," begins with the unidentified driver apparently strapping on his seatbelt before navigating a smoke-covered road through Anderson Springs (map). 
  
 Massive flames rise on both sides of the vehicle, burning trees, brush and multiple structures. Meanwhile, glowing embers glide through the air and strike the windshield. 
  
 The scene appears especially apocalyptic when the driver passes underneath the landmark "Anderson Springs" sign, located at an entrance to the community, and sees one structure engulfed in an inferno. 
  
 In a comment posted Sunday on YouTube, the video's uploader acknowledged that "we did wait way too long to get out." 
  
 "We are the last house at the very back of the Springs, down in a gulch," he continued. "There was no smoke or ash coming our way, and there were no sirens or air support nearby, so we honestly didn't know how close (the fire) was." 
  
 He said there were no firefighters in the area at the time and speculated that was because fire agencies did not have enough resources to deploy there. 
  
 "In retrospect, we should have gone out for a drive to find out what was going on, but we were a little preoccupied with packing," the resident added. 
  
 He did not immediately respond to an inquiry from KTLA, asking for his name and additional details about the perilous drive. 
  
 "I am in the Bay Area waiting for the roads to reopen," he stated online Sunday evening, "and as soon as they do I will shoot video driving around the Springs and post it ASAP." |||||
A: 
As firefighters battle three wildfires in California, a video posted to YouTube provides a sense of what it's like to drive through that craziness. It shows a family from Anderson Springs in Lake County fleeing at night and is downright "apocalyptic" in parts, notes KTLA5. They made it out safely, but the user who posted it acknowledges waiting too long to leave. "In retrospect, we should have gone out for a drive to find out what was going on, but we were a little preoccupied with packing," he writes. This fire, called the Valley fire, has now hit 62,000 acres and was only 10% contained, reports the Los Angeles Times. The Butte fire to the east and the Rough fire in the Sequoia National Forest also continued to rage. "There is more to come," warns Gov. Jerry Brown.
