"If you live near the above-listed areas, stay indoors, and close your doors and windows to prevent smoke from entering your home."

Napa County residents should also make sure they know their evacuation zone, which can be found online at Community.zonehaven.com, officials said.

"In the past, evacuation zones were different for each incident; now your evacuation zone will remain mostly the same and you can learn your zone for home and work and be ready to go when an alert requesting your zone evacuate is issued."
