These are the developments in the North Bay fires as of 5:14 p.m. Friday. Click here to see the latest updates:

5:14 p.m. 4.0 earthquake hits Mendocino County: A magnitude 4.0 earthquake rattled Redwood Valley Friday at 4:10 p.m., where fires have burned over 34,000 acres.

The U.S. geological survey first reported the quake as a 3.7 before upgrading it to a 4.0.

Yulisa Naba was helping a customer check out at the register at Redwood Valley Market when the quake started. She and everyone else in the store ran outside to avoid getting hit by falling objects.

"All of a sudden, it was like something popped or fell really loud," Naba said. "Everything started shaking and stuff started falling off the shelves."

Redwood Valley Market has stayed open despite being in an evacuation zone. Naba said the store has been donating food and providing meals to firefighters and the community while the fires continue to burn.

4 p.m. At least 35 confirmed dead in Northern California wildfires: Two more people have died in Napa County wildfires, bringing the death toll there to four. As of Friday afternoon, a total of 35 confirmed deaths have been reported by law enforcement agencies in fire ravaged areas of Northern California.

The remains of 89-year-old Dr. George Chaney and a 79-year-old man believed to be Edward Stone were found at their home in the 2300 block of Atlas Peak Road in Napa about 9:30 a.m. Thursday by the county’s forensic search team, according to a statement from Sheriff John Robertson.

In addition to the Napa County deaths, wildfires have claimed nine lives in Mendocino County, four in Yuba County, and 18 in Sonoma County.

3:50 p.m. An estimated 5,700 structures destroyed in California wildfires: The series of deadly wildfires burning across the state have wiped out an estimated 5,700 structures, according to Cal Fire officials. Wildfires raging across California have marked the deadliest week in modern state history with at least 35 fatalities as flames blackened more than 221,000 acres. At least 90,000 people have been displaced by the fires.

3:25 p.m. Mandatory evacuation ordered for northern Geyserville: Everyone in areas north of Highway 128 from Geysers Road to Chalk Hill Road must evacuate immediately due to an approaching wildfire, according to Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office.

Geyserville is being threatened by the Pocket Fire, which started about 3:30 a.m. on Monday near Pocket Ranch and Ridge Ranch roads to the northeast of Geyserville. The fire has burned nearly 10,000 acres and is only 5 percent contained, according to Cal Fire.

3:15 p.m. City of Napa air quality now at most dangerous EPA classification: The city of Napa air quality — already the worst in the nation due to wildfires — has now reached the “hazardous” level — the most dangerous level on the Environmental Protection Agency scale.

The city’s combined measurements of particulate matter and ozone recorded an air quality index of 312, according to the EPA. An air quality index above 300 designates “hazardous” levels, the highest of the six air quality classifications.

At such an alarming poor air level, the EPA warns of “emergency conditions” that will most likely affect all residents in the area, especially those already experiencing respiratory problems. The majority of the United States is at “good” levels, the lowest classification, which has an index value between 0 and 50.

The city of Fairfield recorded the second worst air quality in the country with an index value of 211, a “very unhealthy” level, according the EPA standards. Oakland came in third with a value of 177, an “unhealthy” level.

2:50 p.m. Wildfire death toll at least 33 with additional Mendocino County victim: The fatality count in Mendocino County wildfires rose to nine on Friday, according to Capt. Greg Van Patten, a sheriff’s office spokesman. Northern California wildfires have now claimed at least 33 lives with 18 killed in Sonoma County, two in Napa County and four in Yuba County, marking the deadliest week in modern history for California wildfires.

2:20 p.m. FEMA aid available for Napa and Sonoma County residents: Wildfire victims can now apply for federal aid following White House approval of California’s request for disaster assistance, according to Gov. Jerry Brown.

“We’ll keep working day and night with our local and federal partners to fight these fires and help residents get back on their feet in these trying times,” Brown said in a statement.

To apply, visit disasterassistance.gov or call (800) 621-3362. Additional contact numbers and more information is available online.

1:55 p.m. Wildfires destroyed at least 5 percent of housing stock in Santa Rosa: An estimated 3,500 homes destroyed by wildfires ravaging Santa Rosa account for 5 percent of the city’s housing stock, said Mayor Chris Coursey. About 400,000 square feet of commercial space in the Sonoma County town of 175,155 people was also lost in blazes since Sunday night.

“It’s a huge hill that we have to climb,” Coursey said at a Friday afternoon news conference. “Our job right now is to get though this emergency. Then we’ll start taking the next steps.”

1:20 p.m. Death toll hits at least 32 in Northern California wildfires: Another fatality has been confirmed in Sonoma County, bringing the number of deaths in the county to 18, Sheriff Rob Giordano said at a Friday afternoon news conference. Wildfires that broke out in Northern California have also claimed eight lives in Mendocino County, four in Yuba County and two in Napa since Sunday.

Giordano said the number of missing people in Sonoma County has fallen to 256. Of the 1,308 missing persons reports filed since the fires began Sunday, 1,052 of those people have been located safe.

12:45 p.m. Wildfires leave nearly 30,000 without power statewide: An estimated 29,500 people remain without power after a series of deadly California wildfires downed power lines, according to California Office of Emergency Services. Power has been restored to about 17,500 homes and businesses, most of them in Northern California, and all but eight of the 77 damaged cell towers in the fire zones are operating again, officials said.

“We’re not out of this emergency. Not even close,” Mark Ghilarducci, the state’s director of emergency services, said at a Friday news conference. “We continue to address current and future needs.”

11:40 a.m. Nuns Fire in Sonoma County now a combination of four wildfires: The Nuns Fire that started off Highway 12 north of Glen Ellen in Sonoma County has now joined with three other blazes to form a more than 44,000-acre wildland inferno, officials said Friday.

The Nuns Fire combined overnight with the Partrick Fire in Napa County, said Daniel Berlant, a Cal Fire spokesman. The Partrick Fire initially began off Partrick Road west of Napa, Berlant said.

On Wednesday night, the Norbbom and Nuns fires merged, and on Thursday morning the Adobe Fire joined the conflagration.

11:10 a.m. Mendocino County Sheriff IDs 3 of 8 Redwood Fire victims: Three residents of Redwood Valley in Mendocino County, including a 14-year-old boy, were identified Friday as being among the eight killed in a wildfire that swept through their community.

Kai Logan Shepherd, 14, was found near his home on the 11300 block of West Road in Redwood Valley, where it’s believed he was trying to run from the fast-moving fire, according to the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office.

Roy Howard Bowman, 87, was found in his destroyed home in the 4000 block of Fisher Lake Drive in Redwood Valley. His wife, 88-year-old Irma Elsie Bowman, was also discovered dead in the charred home.

The Redwood Fire has killed eight people and blackened 34,000 acres since it broke out Sunday night, officials said. The wildfire is 10 percent contained, which means firefighters have placed control lines on a small section to stop farther spreading.

10:45 a.m. ICE suspends routine immigration enforcement in Northern California wildfire zones: As numerous wildfires raced across Northern California over the past six days, thousands of evacuees headed for shelters while rumors surfaced that immigration status would be checked at the safe havens.

The federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials announced Friday that they have suspended routine enforcement in the fire zones except in the event of a serious public threat, stating, “our highest priority remains the preservation of life and safety wherever possible.”

“In consideration of these distressing circumstances, ICE will continue to suspend routine immigration enforcement operations in the areas affected by the fires in Northern California, except in the event of a serious criminal presenting a public safety threat,” the agency said in a statement. “Likewise, immigration enforcement will not be conducted at evacuation sites, or assistance centers such as shelters or food banks.”

10:30 a.m. Deadliest week in state wildfire history: The series of blazes that broke out across California Sunday burning more than 300 square miles of rural and urban areas and killing at least 31 people in Northern California in six days, combined to mark the deadliest week for wildfires in the state’s history, officials said Friday.

Fifteen of the now 17 wildfires burning statewide, including those that have merged, are located in Northern California, according to Cal Fire officials. With the death toll expected to grow and the bulk of blazes still raging, the clusters of infernos have already surpassed the 1933 Griffith Park Fire in Los Angeles County, which recorded 29 deaths, to claim the ghastly record.

At least 17 people have died in the Tubbs Fire in Sonoma and Napa counties alone, two died in the Atlas Fire in Napa and Solano counties, eight in the Redwood Valley Fire in Mendocino County, and four died in Yuba County’s Cascade Fire, said Daniel Berlant a Cal Fire spokesman.

9:30 a.m. Thousands without power in Napa County: At least 5,700 people remained without power in Napa County as a result of wildfires in the region, said Belia Ramos, chair of the county Board of Supervisors. Pacific Gas and Electric Company has restored power to at least 25,000 residents, she said.

9 a.m. One person missing in Yuba County’s deadly Cascade Fire: More than a hundred welfare checks have been made in Yuba County as a result of the 10,120-acre Cascade Fire, and as of Friday morning only one person remained missing, officials said Friday. One of the four confirmed fatalities in the wildfire stemmed from an individual who got trapped after running their car off the road while evacuating, but the remaining three were discovered after authorities responded to calls for welfare checks, said Yuba County spokesman Russ Brown. The current missing persons’ case has been reclassified from the welfare check status, Brown said. Some 1,500 wildfire zone evacuees in the county are gradually receiving the go-ahead to return home, Brown said. Firefighters had gotten 55 percent containment on the blaze by Friday morning.

8:30 a.m. Series of California wildfires burned more than 221,000 acres: Wildfires that broke out across the state, the vast majority in Northern California, have spread through some 221,754 acres statewide, according to Friday morning estimates by Cal Fire officials. At least 31 people have died in four of the fires, with the highest death count of 17 recorded in the Tubbs Fire burning in Sonoma County and parts of Napa County. At one point, more than 20 fires were burning, but as wildfires grew they combined to number 17 wildfires statewide Friday. Crews expect Friday night’s winds will be stronger than Thursday. Red Flag warnings that forecast dry gusts in wildfire zones could cause rapid growth in the North Bay will start at 5 p.m. Friday and continue until 11 p.m. Saturday.

7:45 a.m. Wildfire devastating Napa County grows more than 4,000 acres overnight: The Atlas Fire burning through Napa County and spreading to Solano County reached 48,228 acres Friday morning, blackening more than 4,000 acres overnight, according to Cal Fire officials. The wildfire is now 27 percent contained — a large jump from just 3 percent on Thursday. As containment increases, that means firefighters have set up a control line along the wildfire to stop flames from spreading. At the same time, meteorologists with the National Weather Service warn gusty winds pose the greatest threat for the Napa County wildfire zone Friday. A Red Flag warning starting at 5 p.m. forecasts dry winds at high elevations that threaten to fan the fire’s growth in the North Bay hills.

7:30 a.m. Deadliest of Northern California wildfires now 25 percent contained: The 34,770-acre Tubbs Fire, which spread from Napa County to Sonoma County, where it caused widespread devastation, was 25 percent contained Friday morning, according to Cal Fire officials. At least 17 people in Sonoma County died in the Tubbs Fire, accounting for more than half of the current death toll of 31. When a fire is contained, it means firefighters have installed control line to prevent the wildfire from spreading.

7 a.m. Large scale property tax reductions in works for Sonoma County: Some of the thousands of damaged structures in Sonoma County wildfires will have their property values and tax bills adjusted, according to county Clerk-Recorder-Asessor William Rousseau.

“Once the fires are out, we will be working with Cal Fire and our local fire departments to identify all properties with over $10,000 in damage,” Rousseau said in a statement Thursday night. “The information we obtain from other agencies will aid us in applying large scale property tax reductions without taxpayers needing to file paperwork with our office.”

Property tax bills for the 2017-2018 year should be corrected by Dec. 11, officials said. Those seeking more information can visit the Sonoma County website.

6:25 a.m. Number of missing declines as some of the 25,000 Sonoma County evacuees reunited: The number of missing persons reports in Sonoma County has hit 1,100, but 745 of those people have been found safe, leaving 355 still unaccounted for, said Sonoma County Sheriff Deputy Brandon Jones.

“That number keeps flying up. We’re really excited about that,” Jones said Friday morning, referring to the number of people reunited with their loved ones. “A lot of these people have been safe and sound this whole time. It was just finding where they were.”

Of around 25,000 displaced residents in the county, 3,172 people are staying in shelters, Jones said. Major hits to cell phone infrastructure and service delays have hindered communication between displaced residents and their worried relatives and friends.

Sonoma County was hardest hit in the series of Northern California wildfires, with 17 deaths confirmed as of Friday as the dangerous Tubbs Fire devastates the region. Authorities have identified 10 of the deceased.

5:30 a.m. Winds pose biggest threat for Napa County fire zone: Continued gusty winds, low humidity and higher temperatures threaten to exacerbate already extreme fire conditions in wildfire zones, the National Weather Service warned ahead of a new batch of Red Flag warnings for the North Bay mountains, East Bay hills and Diablo Range.

The warning will begin Friday at 5 p.m. and last through 11 p.m. Saturday.

Expected north to northeast winds of 20 mph could kick up 60 mph gusts at the highest peaks, according to forecasters. The strongest winds forecast for Friday will be in Napa County, where the monster Atlas Fire encroaching on Solano County has burned 43,762 acres and is just 7 percent contained. The deadliest of the fires, Sonoma County’s 34,770-acre Tubbs fire, has also burned through a part of Napa County.

“I would keep my eye on Napa Valley,” said Drew Peterson, a meteorologist with the weather service. “That’s where the most critical fire weather danger is.”

In Sonoma County, Santa Rosa could be threatened by warm, dry Chinook winds — caused when a sloping air mass that travels downhill becomes warm and compressed — which could lead to increased wind speeds. Such winds were a driving factor for fanning flames and rapid growth throughout the wildfires, Peterson said.

The weather service also issued a wind advisory from 11 p.m. Friday through 5 p.m. Saturday for the North Bay and East Bay hills as winds may topple trees and down power lines.

“It’s just going to be all-around poor conditions for fire weather,” Peterson said Friday. “The good news is after this event it looks like the conditions are going to be improving through the area, as far as fire weather goes. The winds are going to be subsiding after Saturday.”

5 a.m. Santa Rosa residents can check on homes with aerial fire images: Decimated wildfire zones in Santa Rosa are not safe for evacuated residents to return to, but those seeking to assess damage to their homes can do so remotely by looking at the cartography site Map Box. Red areas on the map designate vegetation, not burning areas, city officials said.

4:45 a.m. Evacuation ‘advisory’ issued overnight for some areas of Napa County: An evacuation advisory was put in place about 2 a.m. Friday in Napa for areas west of Highway 29 between Oakville Grade and Rutherford Road, according to the Napa County Sheriff’s Department. Residents are not required to leave but should prepare for possible mandatory evacuation orders, officials said.

12:33 a.m. Atlas Fire is 7 percent contained: Firefighters made some progress — the Atlas Fire, which is burning in Napa and Sonoma counties is now 7 percent contained. It has burned 43,762 acres.

Thursday

9:15 p.m. Federal aid for Sonoma County residents: The Federal Emergency Management Agency said Sonoma County residents whose homes or businesses have been damaged or destroyed can apply for federal disaster aid to help cover their losses. The grants, which do not have to be repaid, are for temporary housing, essential home repairs, and property losses not covered by insurance. The Small Business Administration is making low-interest loans available for businesses of any size, nonprofits, homeowners and renters for losses not covered by insurance. FEMA said other counties and possibly other types of assistance would be made available in the near future.

7:26 p.m. New red flag warning for Friday night: The National Weather Service issued another red flag warning for the East Bay hills and North Bay mountains. The warning is valid from 5 p.m. Friday through 11 p.m. Saturday.

Rick Canepa, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said that forecasters expect the winds to pick up speed again while the humidity will remain low. Models predict north to northeast winds with speeds of 20 to 30 miles per hour, Canepa said, but gusts could reach 40 to 50 miles per hour. High resolution models have also predicted gusts of up to 60 miles per hour, Canepa said, with northern Sonoma and Napa county as particular areas of concern.

6:53 p.m. Some evacuation orders downgraded: The voluntary evacuation order in the Eastridge neighborhood in Fairfield was downgraded to an advisory. Residents are allowed to return, but officials said they must be prepared to evacuate on short notice if fire conditions change.

Earlier, the mandatory evacuation order of Silverado Country Club, Monticello Park and The Avenues in Napa County was lifted Thursday at 5 p.m. The areas west of Silverado Trail between Hardman Avenue and Highway 128 were also no longer under mandatory evacuation. Affected residents were allowed to return to their homes, officials said.

6:16 p.m. Sonoma County Sheriff identifies 10 victims: Ten of the 17 people killed in fires in Sonoma County have been identified:

Carol Collins-Swasey, 76, Santa Rosa

Lynne Anderson Powell, 72, Santa Rosa

Arthur Tasman Grant, 95, Santa Rosa

Suiko Grant, 75, Santa Rosa

Donna Mae Halbur, 80, Larkfield

Leroy Peter Halbur, 80, Larkfield

Valerie Lynn Evans, 75, Santa Rosa

Carmen Caldentey Berriz, 75, Apple Valley, Calif.

Michael John Dornbach, 57, Calistoga

Veronica Elizabeth McCombs, 67, Santa Rosa

Two identifications were made using medical devices, county Sheriff Rob Giordano said at a Thursday afternoon news conference. Two were done through dental records, one through distinct tattoos and the remaining identifications were made either visually or through other investigations, Giordano said.

6:07 p.m. Death toll climbs to 31 in Wine Country fires: At least 17 people have died in Sonoma County from the Northern California wildfires, county Sheriff Rob Giordano said at a Thursday afternoon news conference. Ten of the 17 deceased have been identified, Giordano said. The new death toll for the Northern California fires is 31.

There have been 1,100 missing persons reports in Sonoma County, and 745 of those people have been located. Over 400 people remain missing, Giordano said.

5:57 p.m. Unhealthy time for breathing: The Bay Area’s smoky air isn’t good for air-breathers’ health, and won’t get much better for at least a few days. Air quality was rated “unhealthy” for most of Thursday in San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, Marin County and as far south as Redwood City, said Kristine Roselius, spokeswoman for the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.

Farther south, she said, the air was classified “unhealthy for sensitive groups” for six to eight hours Thursday in San Jose, and for three hours in Gilroy. Napa, at the heart of the fires, had the worst rating on the air-quality scale, “hazardous.” Roselius said the forecast is for more of the same over the next few days.

5:33 p.m. More events canceled due to air: The Humane Society Silicon Valley canceled its Tails and Ales event scheduled for Saturday because of declining air quality. The organization said it would provide an update by Oct. 20.

Walnut Creek Downtown's Saturday Oktoberfest event is also canceled as part of Contra Costa County's cancellation of all outdoor activity over the weekend, issued by the Department of Public Health.

4:15 p.m. San Francisco State University classes canceled: All Thursday evening classes at San Francisco State University are canceled starting at 5 p.m., according to university officials. The main campus, the downtown campus and the Romberg Tiburon Center will be closed from 8 a.m. Friday through Sunday because of the bad air quality caused by wildfires buring in the North Bay. Mashouf Wellness Center, housing services and dining services will remain accessible to students as will vital personnel, according to a statement from the school.

3:43 p.m. Redwood City cancels run: Poor air quality caused by Wine Country wildfires spewing smoke across the Bay Area prompted Redwood City, some 80 miles away, to cancel the second annual Run with the Cops scheduled for Saturday. The run will be rescheduled for the near future, police said. Those who signed up online will remain on the registration list for the new date, but a refund can be requested by contacting Darren Schrum at dschrum@redwoodcity.org.

3:30 p.m. California State Parks opening campsites to evacuees in Napa, Sonoma wildfires: Sites at Bodega Dunes Campground, Wrights Beach at Sonoma Coast State Park and Woodside Campground at Salt Point State Park are open to displaced residents, but they are not official evacuation areas, according to California Department of Parks and Recreation officials. The campsites will offer showers, bathrooms, drinking water and trash bins. Those needing more comprehensive services such as food, bedding and personal aid should go to a designated shelter.

3 p.m. Danville limits outdoor activity: Danville town programs, teen centers and classes will keep activities indoors Thursday through Sunday due to poor air quality caused by the devastating fires burning in the North Bay, the city officials said Thursday.

2:50 p.m. Wildfires sicken hundreds in Solano County: As the more than 43,000 acre Atlas Fire encroaches further into Solano County, more than 250 people have been sickened by thick smoke in the air, according to health officials. Hospitals in the county received 257 people complaining of toxic air inhalation, health officer Bela Matyas said at a Thursday news conference. There were 23 admitted to the emergency rooms and two remained in Thursday afternoon, Matyas said.

People in and around fire zones who smell smoke are encouraged to stay indoors, place air conditioners on recirculate to stop outside air from traveling inside, and are advised to wear N95 masks for added protection.

1:55 p.m. Number of missing people in North Bay fires reduced as downed cell towers restored: At least 64 of the 77 cell towers downed in Northern California wildfires have been restored, officials said Thursday. In Sonoma County, communication difficulties due spawned at least 1,000 missing persons reports. By Thursday, 603 people had been found safe, said county Sheriff Rob Giordano. Close to 400 people remain unaccounted for.

1:35 p.m. Nearly 3,000 Santa Rosa homes destroyed in wildfires: An estimated 2,834 homes in Santa Rosa have been destroyed in wildfires that swept through the community this week, and the number could grow, Mayor Chris Coursey said at a Thursday news conference. The fires also leveled 400,010 square feet of commercial space in the city and the new fire station at the top of Fountaingrove Parkway, he said.

“We all have suffered a trauma here. We’re going to be a long time recovering from this incident,” Coursey said. “The city of Santa Rosa has suffered a serious blow in these fires.”

1:20 p.m. Death toll at least 29 in Northern California fires: At least 15 people died in Sonoma County wildfires, county Sheriff Rob Giordano said at a Thursday afternoon news conference. The number of fatalities in Northern California wildfires is now at 29. Authorities have reported two deaths in Napa County, eight in Mendocino County and four in Yuba County.

1 p.m. Gov. Jerry Brown planning quiet visit to disaster zone in coming days: Gov. Jerry Brown offered his sympathy Thursday to the victims of fires that are ravaging the state, and he plans to visit the effected areas soon.

The governor intends to travel to the fire zones, but not immediately so that his visit doesn’t take away from critical resources needed to combat the blaze, said his spokesman Evan Westrup.

“Our focus is on getting resources where they’re needed most, not pulling them away for photo-ops with the governor,” Westrup said.

Brown has taken a similar position in other major disasters, including the Oroville Dam spillway failure earlier this year, where the governor quietly visited days after the near catastrophe without alerting the media.

On Thursday, prior to signing nine bills in Sacramento aimed at improving the lives of women and children, Brown opened with his concern about the fires across the state.

“We aren’t in any way finished. Some places are beginning to be contained. But the fires are burning and the winds can come up. They aren’t as calm as we would like them to be. The next couple days are very serious for California,” Brown said. “We have to find ways to protect Californians as best we can.”

12:45 p.m. Napa Valley College re-opening to students: The college said it would “transition back to teaching students” over the next few days and transfer 500 evacuees from its shelters in the school’s gym and student activities center to other nearby shelters. Faculty will return on Monday and classes will resume on Tuesday. “If we don’t transition now, we’re afraid students just won’t come back,” said college spokesman Doug Ernst.

12:15 p.m. Northern California fires death toll now 28: Two more people died in wildfires in Mendocino County, marking eight dead in the county, Cal Fire Chief Ken Pimlott said at a Thursday news conference. The announcement came shortly after Yuba County officials said two more bodies were found in the Cascade Fire, bringing the death toll there to four.

The number of fatalities in this week’s Northern California wildfires has surpassed the Oakland Hills fire of 1991, in which 25 people perished. The wildfires have also killed 14 in Sonoma County and two in Napa County.

11:55 a.m. Mandatory evacuation area expands in Sonoma Valley: A mandatory evacuation order is now in place for north of East Napa Street from Fourth Street East to the end of E. Napa Street, according to a Sonoma County Sheriff's Office advisory. The area of Seventh Street East, Castle Road, and Lovall Valley Road east of Old Winery Road already had a mandatory evacuation order. Anyone seeking more information on the fire can call (707) 565-3856.

11:30 a.m. Death toll rises to 26 in Northern California fires: Two more people died in wildfires in Yuba County, marking four deaths in the county’s Loma Rica area, Sheriff Steven Durfor said at Thursday morning press conference. Northern California fires have now killed 26 people, including 14 in Sonoma County, two in Napa County, six in Mendocino County and four in Yuba County.

11 a.m. At least 30 Sonoma County detectives working hundreds of missings persons cases: As faulty cell service hindered communication between evacuees and loved ones, some 900 missing persons reports were filed, with so far 437 people found. A team of 30 Sonoma County detectives are working to account for the outstanding 463 people in the fire zone, said Sheriff Rob Giordano. At least 10 Sonoma County detectives with the assistance of cadaver dogs will work on body recovery, and expect 10 more officers from an outside agency to assist, Giordano said.
