UKIAH, California (KGO) –
Two burning fires near Clear Lake, called the Mendocino Complex, led to mandatory evacuations
The flames are approaching Clear Lake and many cities are evacuations required. Lakeport's main street is a virtual ghost town. But there are some who stay. Among them is Kim Crites
She says that at this point there is no reason to leave
"If it stays on the other side of 29, I'm not worried, "she said. "But if he had to jump, I think I would be more worried about it."
Ash falls everywhere in the city. Those who are gone do what they can to make sure their homes stay upright

The Kaur family also takes into account the warning. They spent the afternoon packing as much as they could.
"Sundays, there are usually a lot of people, children walking, smoky, shes, trees, everything … it's sad". have opened. Many evacuees gathered at the Twin Pine Casino in Middletown
"I've already been in a flood but I've never been in a fire," said evacuee Joanna Soydel . "Will I go home to a pile of ashes or will I go home?"
"Now we are here and we have to take a deep breath, it's just one of those," said Pam Ayle evacuated. "It's just one of those, you do not know how much this is upsetting until you're in the middle."
With so many fires burning throughout California, the resources are becoming thinner. In this case, Crites has a plan.
"If the worst happens, we can just go down and jump into the lake," she said.
