Many people rushed out of their homes - escaping the bear fire trying to find a place to shelter in for the night.

Action news now reporter dani masten was at the evacuation center and shows how people are doing right now.

Sot/lydia arrats/evacuee "a little lost, a little confused.

Don't know what to really do.

I think everything where we live, burnt."

Sot/rick burke/evacuee "i am in shock.

I think about what my losses are and then i think about all the friends and all the people that i know up there that may not have made it out."

Rick burke tells action news now he wasted no time grabbing what he could and rushed out of his home around 11:30 last night "i grabbed photographs, my son's funeral papers, and grab my dogs and ran.

I have got a hamper full of clothes.

That's all i have to my name."

The red cross tells me they are welcoming any and all evacuees - providing people with water and snacks as well as a safe space.

Dani stand up though these are extremely difficult timesã people who have been evacuated are trying to find a silver lining sot/lydia arrats/evacuee "we're actually listening to tik tok videos and it is kind of keeping us cheery and posting videos on there about what is going on so families out there can know what is going on with us."

While some are just thankful to be with their loved ones sot/rick burke/evacuee "we'll get through this.

A lot of people have it a lot worse.

They can't find their family.

I know what family i've got left are safe, and i'm safe, my neighbors are safe.

Red cross tells action news now that they are currently working on providing hotel rooms for evacuees who need it.

Right now people in paradise are on stand by for possible evacuations.
