Hot and dry conditions have contributed to the spread of the Glass Fire, which has no estimated date yet for full containment.
More than 36,000 people have been evacuated at various points because of the fire. A local assistance center is opening Monday at the Napa County Health and Human Services campus at 2751 Napa Valley Corporate Drive, Building A, in Napa.
