The fire is raging on strong on the east side of the mountain and many in the Contra Costa area have been force out of their homes. As the fire has been only 10% contained, home owners will not be allowed back to their houses, fearing for the valuables they left behind.

They suggest everyone who has not been effected yet to keep themselves updated and on the lookout and to all ways, be safe.
