I'm watching the feed but there is no audio right now (2:51 mtn time), hasn't been for about an hour.

Earlier audio report said all residents were BELIEVED to be out safely. Residents and neighbors were doing a "pet patrol" to check for dogs, cats, etc. Many had cardboard boxes, etc. to hold animals.

That's all I can tell you.

Not familiar with SF.

Video shows continuing eruptions of fire but it appears to be contained to single block of continguous structures.

I've always been told black smoke is burning material, white "smoke" is steam. The more white the better.
