the grasses and brush. and grew to 75 acres pretty quickly. 15 homes had to be evacuated. but bulldozer operators and firefighters and a constant air attack by fire retardant had it contained within hours. neighbors told us repeatedly how thankful they are for the quick action. >> very good. they did a real good job. i'm very proud of them. >> but it is -- too close to comfort in my estimation. >> when i came in, i saw it. it moved rapidly and the fire services -- >> within 30 cents. >> the fire service did a wonderful job. >> 13 years ago a fire came down the same hillside and burned within 30 feet of the homes this time neighbors were fortunate to avoid not ome the flames but also the smoke as winds blew it away from the neighborhood and back up into the hills. it is a dangerous time for fire

starts during the heat wave. this morning another fire started along highway 101 just outside of gilroy near the monterey street exit. again crews got on it fast and had it contained to less than an acre but it did burn up to the fence line of a business. and homeowners told us again here was they think the city of san jose needs to put in some fire hydrants, at least one fire hydrant at the end of the road and the nearest one is up the road and they would feel better protected if they had a fire hydrant here. thom jenson, nbc bay area news. >> thank you. so you could keep track of what is going on with this weather as those extreme temperatures continue to rise. you could go to our nbc bay area app and keep track of it there at the palm of your hand. this weekend, a big heads up around the east bay this weekend. if you are using b.a.r.t. or

we're at 74 degrees. and not a cloud anywhere. but we will see some changes tomorrow. we'll talk about that in a minute. let's gut through our temperature trend in san jose. we're heading into the upper 90s this afternoon. and it is going to be hot all r the rest of the afternoon. at 6:00 we're still in the low 90s. but after that, it should start to come down just a few more degrees. we're seeing more 90s here in the south bay. not expecting as many of the triple-digits but it is still going to reach there over the century mark in concord today, 102 degrees. in pleasanton 100 there and in fremont 94. 86 in san mateo. and san francisco will see a few spots reaching into the low 80s. but mostly 70s there. and clear lake today up to 101. napa today reaching 98 degrees. so it is very hot. this high pressure that has caused extreme heat starts to move away and allows for cooler

air, a change in the wind direction and also the fog rebuilding near the coast with the winds blowing in. it is going to help cool us off. next week there will be a storm system starting to approach the pacific northwest but i think for the middle of next week, our inland valley will heat up. so enjoy the weekend while it is still cool. the fremont festival of india will happen tomorrow as well as sunday. and we're looking at highs in the upper 70s there. and of course we talked about this clear the shelters. if you want to join marcus and laura tomorrow morning, they'll be in berkeley. it is in the upper 60s to tart and then into the mid-70s in berkeley throughout the day. half moon bay stays cool. look at these temperatures. if you've had a hot week and you just want to enjoy a cool breeze, head to the coast. half moon bay will only see a high of 64 degrees tomorrow afternoon. in the sierra, looking at squaw creek resort and right now it is going to reach up to 80 degrees

but tomorrow 79 and then 76 degrees on sunday. our seven-day forecast shows some pretty big cooler after today. 87 degrees in the inland valley. 84 degrees on sunday. and we do start out the week still with nice weather. but then we do still have that warm-up headed our way. those hot temperatures return for the middle of the next week and for san francisco upper 70s, low 80s today. but once that fog comes back, we're in the 60s for the weekend into early next week. and then we'll see a little bit more clearing for next wednesday and thursday. but it look like this cooldown won't last that long. so we better take it in this weekend. >> don't you worry about that. >> coming up, there are a lot of events this weekend. all across the bay area. so after you help clear the shelters, we have other celebrations you could go to. but first, happening now, greenland said it is not for sale. but open for business. the source tells nbc news that

the white house counsel has looked into the possibility of president trump buying greenland. the president told advisers last swing that denmark was having financial issues due to the subsidies it pays to greenland and wondered if they should purchase it. well, greenland is an autonomous danish territory with a population of more than 40,000 and has natural resources such as coal and uranium. i wonder how much an island cost nowadays. we'll look right after the break.
