joining us, i'm dan ashley. the fire triggered an evacuation warning tonight, but just in the past hour, people were cleared to go back home. firefighters are calling this the summersville fire because it sparked along summersville road in antioch. it burned more than 200 acres in just about an hour, so it was spreading fast. but firefighters worked faster. we have team coverage of this fire and the dangerous weather conditions on the way for tomorrow. abc seven news reporter tara campbell leads us off tonight live from antioch. tara. >> yeah. dan, we are right out here outside black diamond mines preserve, where just hours ago, crews were still going at it. you can see. really, things have calmed down here now. we had cal fire, contra costa fire all out here earlier today battling this 200 acre fire at one point. contra costa fire saying really it was a group effort to make

sure that this that this fire was taken care of swiftly, quickly. there were some calls for evacuation or evacuation warnings. there were no evacuations ordered, but there were evacuation warnings put out for a while here. it did look threatening. let's take a look at what the contra costa county pio has to say. >> i would just say if you're near a fire prone area, make sure you're watching the news. make sure you're paying attention to the social media posts. i think the biggest thing, something that we experienced a little bit tonight, is we're trying to evacuate people out of the neighborhood behind us, and people are trying to drive in and see the fire. so it kind of caused early on some traffic congestion. >> we did ask for evacuation, warning of the neighborhood that is adjacent to the park area up here, and that was because the fire was threatening some of those structures where we did have a couple back fences and the fire was entering into the backyard. but we're happy to report that no structures were actually lost. >> and was anyone injured. we heard a report of one person being taken to hospital.

>> yeah. so we did have a couple different people that we had to transport tonight, mainly due to medical conditions from smoke inhalation, but nothing directly related to the fire. >> now you hear the police chief talking there about residents and people, onlookers trying to come in and take a look at this fire. what you can see from this video that people were taking of just the sense of urgency earlier this evening as fire crews were trying to get this wildfire under control. the police fire, all the crews have cleared out now, but they do say they will be up top way up there. i don't know if you guys can see that up there at this point, but they will be out putting those hotspots out throughout the night to make sure that this entire area is, in fact, safe. live in antioch. tara campbell, abc seven news. >> okay, tara, thanks very much. now, abc seven news meteorologist sandia patel is tracking the conditions on the fire lines in antioch and sandy. a hot day in the east bay. certainly. and that brush is

bone dry. >> that's right, dan. and those two things make for a dangerous situation. you heard the wind, as tara was reporting. here's a look at the current conditions. winds are gusting out of the southwest 39 miles an hour. it is 80 degrees, relative humidity 25%. so it is dry out there. the bay area air quality management district did issue an air quality advisory for contra costa county tonight, as the smoke impacts are being felt around the region, the winds will remain gusty. not just tonight but going into tomorrow. so hopefully those hot spots do not actually spark more brush fires or expand that brush fire as you take a look here. good to moderate air quality right now, but purple air is reporting some poor air quality near that fire. so looking at a live picture from our mount tam cam, you can see that camera is just bouncing around over the higher elevations. we are seeing the windy conditions 33 miles an hour on mount diablo. and those gusty winds are going to be with us as we head into tomorrow morning. windiest along the coastline initially, and then

the winds will spread across other areas as well. 44 point reyes 33, discovery bay 37 in san francisco. that is going to bring the heightened fire danger that remains up, not just tonight, but tomorrow as well, into the high to very high category for some of our inland areas indicated by the yellows and the oranges. dan, i'll let you know how long this windy pattern and the fire danger will remain coming up. >> okay, great. sandy. see you in just a few minutes. the fire danger on the way tomorrow has p-g-and-e's considering shutting off power for parts of the bay area. small parts of contra costa, alameda and santa clara counties could be affected. the biggest effects are east of livermore. p-g-and-e's says the shutoffs could last through sunday. p-g-and-e's says if it does decide to shut off power, it will call, text or email you if you're going to be affected. well, we are heading into the time of year where fireworks and fires go hand in hand. san jose is calling off one of its professional shows on july 4th because of the risk the

professionals show at lake cunningham is still on, but the fireworks festival at almaden lake park is canceled for people living nearby. as abc seven news reporter lauren martinez explains, it's a relief. >> festive 4th of july fireworks will not be lighting up the sky above almaden lake this year. city officials in san jose are canceling the show due to safety. >> that's terrible. i think it's terrible news. i think that the community benefits from having like festivals throughout the day. for the kids is a place for the kids to come and have fun. they had a bunch of stuff set up. >> city council member george casey, who represents this district, posted on social media. he said with over 30,000 people here last year, the event has simply outgrown the venue. >> i understand there's a little bit of a bottleneck that happens after the traffic. i've been stuck in that traffic a couple years where i didn't make it because there's so many people. >> casey said. the traffic made it difficult for first

responders to respond to emergencies. this is video taken last year when residents who live near the lake said illegal fireworks caused a fire on the hillside. >> we were pretty concerned because it looked like it took a long time for the fire department to get out there. >> we went to legends pizza company just down the street from the lake, manager andrew gregorich said the annual fireworks show was a great tradition but not worth sacrificing safety. >> family friend of ours had to be evacuated and so a lot went into thinking of like, we love fireworks, they're fun, they're great for everybody. but at the same time, there's a lot of recklessness going on when it puts the community in danger. safety is the number one call for us. so we're all about community here. >> on wednesday, san jose officials held a webinar about reporting illegal fireworks through the san jose 3-1-1 app. this year, the department said they'll be using a drone pilot program to enhance enforcement. >> and we're going to use it in conjunction with the social host ordinance. if somebody is

observed utilizing fireworks and they can be associated with a property, they can be cited. >> the city will still have a sanctioned and free fireworks show at lake cunningham in san jose. lauren martinez, abc seven news. >> moving on now. a priest with ties to the bay area is under arrest in san luis obispo county, accused of abusing multiple children. authorities have identified him as 61 year old theodore gabrielli. we're sharing his name because deputies are searching for more potential victims. investigators say that accusations date back to the 1990s, with three alleged victims all in one family. gabrielli worked at a number of schools, churches and ministries, including in san jose and los gatos, as well to the developing situation in the middle east now where the escalating conflict between israel and iran enters its seventh day. israel says a hospital in the southern part of the country was hit by a missile

barrage and suffered extensive damage. and tonight, president trump is weighing a major decision whether to launch an attack against an iranian nuclear site. abc news reporter zohreen shah has the latest now on the president's plans. >> tonight, sources familiar with classified assessments tell abc news that president trump is growing more comfortable with the idea of ordering a military strike on iran's fordo nuclear facility, a site dug nearly 300ft into a mountainside. the president, gathering his national security team twice in the last day, abc news has learned. the president has reviewed detailed strike options, telling senior advisers he supports the planning but has not yet made the call. >> i may do it. i may not do it. i mean, nobody knows what i'm going to do. i can tell you this, that iran's got a lot of trouble. >> this comes as israel steps up its military campaign. the israeli defense forces, claiming responsibility for striking over

60 iranian targets, including suspected nuclear research centers and weapons factories. president trump has demanded iran's unconditional surrender. but iran's supreme leader is not backing down. the ayatollah, saying surrender to what? the iranian nation cannot be surrendered. we will not accept any kind of submission. he warned the u.s. would suffer consequences if it intervenes militarily. warning sirens blaring across israel again tonight as missiles were seen over the skies of tel aviv and jerusalem, anti-war protesters gathering outside the white house tonight. >> my supporters are for me. my supporters are america first. they make america great again. my supporters don't want to see iran have a nuclear weapon. >> zohreen shah, abc news, los angeles. >> leaders in san jose passed a crackdown on so-called van,

lauding the plan restricts rv rentals to unhoused people. it also limits rv parking on city streets and private property. back in march, council members behind the plan said at least two landlords were renting nearly unlivable rvs to unhoused people and in some cases, charging $1,000 a month. we're getting new details tonight about san francisco's search for a new police chief. the city will hire a recruitment firm to do it, and the deadline for firms to apply is this friday. it will be up to the department of human resources to sort through the applications and make a recommendation to the police commission. the target date is next month. once chosen, the firm has a lot to do before the city gets its next chief. >> the recruitment firm will have a range, a wide range of recruitment duties. the first one, the police commission, recognizes the importance of community input in selecting the next police chief, and the firm selected will conduct up to five

community meetings and an online engagement survey. >> paul yap is serving as the interim police chief, with bill scott headed to los angeles to lead la metro's new public safety department. well, it's a very busy night, of course, coming up here a lot more to bring you a raging fire on a lot, packed with hundreds of porta potties leaving behind, as you can imagine, a massive mess. speed cameras are coming to another bay area city where they'll be up and ready to catch speeding drivers. plus, revving up robotaxi production. how the bay area is helping get more of these unusual vehicles out on the streets. all of that's ahead for you. but here's what's coming up tonight on jimmy kimmel live! right after abc seven news at 11. jimmy. >> thanks, dan. tonight our flags are at full staff. will you be wearing this until the end of the year? >> i think i'll be wearing it everywhere i go, like milton berle. i'm just going to be (wife) saving for retirement was tough enough.

>> a fire overnight wiped out a bunch of porta potties in oakland. started just before midnight at a rental yard on 92nd avenue and san leandro street, right near some bart tracks. firefighters had the flames under control in about 30 minutes time, but the damage was done. a picture of the aftermath from the fire department shows hundreds of porta potties destroyed. at least no one was hurt. and staying in oakland, the city is moving forward with a plan to spend nearly $5 million on speed cameras. this map here shows you the locations

the city plans to install them. they are at 18 intersections. the spots were chosen based on the number of accidents. the city expects to have them up and running by the end of the year. once the cameras are installed, drivers will get warnings the first 60 days they are in operation. after that, they'll receive citations for going 11 miles or more over the speed limit. the fines would start at $50 and go up to 500. the same company that handles san francisco speed cameras will be in charge of the ones in oakland. today, the supreme court upheld the state of tennessee's ban on gender affirming care for transgender minors. minors in a 6 to 3 decision. chief justice john roberts wrote for the conservative majority, saying that the law does not violate the constitution's equal protection clause. justice sonia sotomayor wrote the dissenting opinion, saying the court abandoned transgender children and their families to political whims. on our 3 p.m. newscast, we spoke with the executive

director of the bay area based transgender law center about what the ruling means for trans youth in california and across the country. >> it certainly might influence other states and cases before the courts, but i think right now, what we have to keep in mind is this specific to tennessee law. and certainly there are many other states that have been living under this and navigating this with youth, with adults, etc, but it does not ban it nationwide. >> tennessee is one of two dozen states with laws that ban all gender affirming care for minors, including puberty blockers and hormone therapy. we have two building a better bay area. breakthroughs to share with you tonight. first, foster city based zoox is opening a new robotaxi production facility in hayward, bringing really a big boost economically to the city. zoox says the new facility will have the capacity to assemble more than 10,000 robo taxis a year. it's a real milestone for the company and for the city of

hayward. leaders with the chamber of commerce are excited about the opportunities for new graduates from local colleges. >> state college, as well as a community college. there's so many students that are, you know, so thirsty for opportunities like this in their own backyard. so we're we're thrilled to have zoox here in hayward investing in our community. >> zoox is currently testing autonomous rides in san francisco. and our next breakthrough state park officials have finalized a plan to rebuild big basin redwoods state park in the santa cruz mountains. the ccu lightning complex fire in august of 2020 destroyed all of the park's campgrounds. as you may remember, the visitor center and other facilities to the park reopened to visitors in 2022, but there is still a lot of work that has to be done. the plan calls for moving the visitor's center, most campsites and much of the original parking farther from the core of the park. tomorrow is juneteenth, a

any fires that develop are going to quickly spread. we have the heat today which didn't help the situation. mid 90s fairfield, concord livermore. very dry conditions there 83 san jose 93 in santa rosa 90. san rafael 69. though in the city 60 one half moon bay and 76 degrees in oakland. we're still retaining some of the heat from earlier in the day. our warmest locations in the 70s and 80s. at this hour, it is definitely a bouncy camera from sutro tower, downtown san francisco dealing with the breezy conditions. the winds will go up even more. so high pressure brought us the heat. today was the hottest day of the next seven days. this trough is what we're keeping an eye on because that's what's going to start to move in across the pacific northwest and northern california. and as it deepens over the next couple of days, those winds are going to really go up. right now at the lower elevations, we have 29 mile an hour gusts at oakland, 32 sfo. here's a look at those

winds hour by hour. so while you're sleeping, you may hear that wind blowing the trees around over 45 miles an hour at noontime at point reyes, even san francisco, discovery bay. it's going to be gusty. and heading into the evening hours, we're going to be seeing 30 mile an hour winds. half moon bay, 41 point reyes, 31 fairfield. the fire danger does increase. and it's not just tonight, but really tomorrow afternoon you will notice. and evening, the yellows and the oranges is high to very high fire danger. it's that time of year from emeryville. we do have a clear view tonight into the weekend. gusty winds, fire concerns. the next two days, noticeably cooler weather. so you can say goodbye to the 90s. the season changes on friday, and as summer solstice occurs at 7:42 p.m, you will notice a marked change in our weather. so tomorrow morning, patchy fog at best. if it even develops, it's going to be hard with the wind blowing tomorrow afternoon not warming up quite as fast. we're going with low 80s for the warmest inland locations. 50 coastside

so windy at the coast tomorrow morning. 50s and 60s to start the day tomorrow afternoon. you're looking at a very windy day. numbers will range from the upper 50s at half moon bay to the low 80s around places like antioch. certainly a lot of sun around for the bay area. do want to turn your attention to a serious situation that's developed in the pacific. newly formed hurricane eric is now a very dangerous category four hurricane, packing winds of 145 miles an hour. it is moving northwest towards acapulco. it is expected to make landfall, weakening to a category two, but initially could strengthen some more life threatening flooding. destructive and damaging winds expected, eventually weakening by thursday evening to a tropical storm. but of course, there are going to be multiple hazards with this hurricane. the accuweather seven day forecast. it's windy fire danger for your thursday, but cooler for juneteenth celebrations. and then friday as summer starts, it's definitely going to be windy and not feeling like it.

below average upper 50s to the upper 70s saturday starts off windy, but you will notice that it is warmer with lighter winds going into sunday and next week we'll be back
