under mandatory evacuation orders. the good news, in just the past hour, we have noticed less smoke coming from the fire zone. here's new video still pockets of -- there are still many pockets of intense flames. you can still see black smoke mixed in with the thick white smoke coming from these areas but again, it looks like crews are making some progress. >> cal fire dc-10 has joined the firefight. earlier chopper 5 spotted that plane dropping retardant made a couple of passes. cal fire using two planes and three helicopters in its aerial attack. our crews spotted one of those choppers refilling its water tank as helicopter crews making use of small lakes around the mountain to fight the flames. the fear started near morgan territory road yesterday afternoon and as we said a minute ago homes on several nearby roads are under mandatory evacuation. kpix 5 reporter ryan takeo is live in clayton and tells us

crews are starting to gain some ground. ryan. reporter: there's much less smoke than earlier this afternoon but consider this. about 24 hours ago, this fire was much smaller. it's now five times the size of what it was yesterday at about this time. a couple of hours ago the smoke was coming straight up this peak like a chimney. now the wind has picked up and it's pushing smoke to the southeast. the morgan fire is growing but so is the firefighter responses. at least 500 firefighters were on the front lines today. that's double what there was yesterday. progress or not, brenda evacuated her ranch. >> hurry hurry hurry. >> reporter: she had help and already moved 10 horses to safety. she didn't want to chance it. >> you can see it's right there at our neighbor's. it comes up over that next hill, it's on our property. >> reporter: to see the fire's damage, you can just look at its trail. behind me is how the area normally looks and how it looked yesterday so that fire started in the afternoon and

now look what's left. but fire crews are focused on what's next an aerial attack, continue to drop retardant where the fire was heading. crews even got help from this dc-10. crews tried to get water as close to the fire as they could fighting from the air being important, especially because this fire is so hard to get to. >> mount diablo is incredibly steep, very rugged terrain. access is very difficult. >> reporter: two firefighters suffered minor injuries. so far, there have not been any other injuries on the ground and no damage to houses. elizabeth? >> all right, ryan. thank you. there are also communication towers on mount diablo. flames did get close earlier today but firefighters were able to stop the fire from reaching any towers. take a look. this is another close call. a line of fire burned very close to this water tank on the mountain but again, firefighters able to stop the flames before anything was damaged. the bay area air quality management district has issued a smoke advisory for many parts

of the bay area. this view from chopper 5 shows you why. that's not fog you're looking at. ken bastida with mobile fire near the five with more on our smoke over conditions tonight. >> reporter: hi, allen. we're over here in mount diablo state park as well on the other side of the hill from where ryan was. they have a backfire operation going in right now and a dozer line on the western side of the mountain and you can see the smoke is diminishing now from that smoke right there clear up to the top of the mountain. that's what burned last night and early this morning. crews have made good progress on knocking it down. the thing that's really bothering people is the smoke down wind. and as you mentioned, contra costa county, alameda and santa clara counties have air quality warnings. the smoke is bad for everybody. tom flanagan with the agency says especially with people with respiratory illness. >> we're lettering the public who have respiratory issues to

stay indoors and to take precautions by closing windows, setting the air conditioning units to recirculate so that any particulate matter that might be outdoors because of the fire wouldn't be pulled indoors and therefore affect their health. >> reporter: you can see as that canyon winds down there it empties out into the valley on the other side on the way to stockton but winds around into san ramon and dublin and parts of alamo and that's where that thick smoke is kind of sitting tonight. the school districts especially the dublin school districts kept their kids in today for lunch kind of their rainy day recess except that's no rain in the forecast. because that smoke is so unhealthy, a lot of kids with asthma are being told to stay inside at least for the next couple of days. the hope is that this fire will be not producing as much smoke and hopefully have containment sometime on saturday. reporting live from mount diablo, i'm ken bastida, kpix

5. >> thank you. firefighters putting out the wildfire are facing wind challenges and our bay area heat wave. >> fuel is dry, no humidity, wind, heat, definitely makes for some serious firefighting conditions. >> chief meteorologist paul deanno has more on the triple- digit temperatures. paul? >> that's the key right there triple-digit temperatures. look at these numbers. fourth straight day with temperatures at or above 100 degrees in places like walnut creek, even moraga 100, antioch 104 a couple of days ago still at 100 and san ramon 98. as the temperature increases, the relative humidity decreases to 20 to 30% today, up on the mountain 10 or 15%. that's a problem. but imagine the 700 firefighters out there doing this job to put out this fire, number one key for them is to make sure they stay hydrated in this heat. >> hydration is critical. the safety of all our

firefighters is very critical. every morning and at every briefing all firefighters receive a safety message and that's definitely one of the messages that they hear on a daily basis. >> okay. fires cause smoke. the big key is where is this smoke going to go? right now, the winds are coming from the northwest blowing the smoke to the southeast. this will continue for tonight and tomorrow and the next several days which means places like livermore and the san ramon valley as ken mentioned. that will be where most of the smoke goes. the good news is, temperatures will begin to decrease tomorrow. that's going to bring the humidity level back up. we'll talk more about the cooldown and end to our heat wave coming up in 10 minutes. >> paul, thank you. we'll have much more on the morgan fire throughout this newscast and you can see more images of the fires on our website, kpix.com. we're talking 10 new megaoffice towers in the silicon valley but still a mystery is who is moving in. the development would take up more than 20 acres at first and

the higher humidity and the low winds. >> absolutely. if this would have happened friday leading into the heat wave it would have been worse. best-case scenario would be rainfall. not going to get that but next best thing is have the winds not be too strong and have humidity start coming up. that is going to happen. here's a live look outside. what a beautiful shot from the top of the pyramided the transamerica tower. here comes that rush, that river of air spilling in from the pacific sotion. this will make it all the way inland tonight and temperatures out toward mount diablo will be much cooler coming up tomorrow. already spilling into san francisco bay. the view from our rooftop toward the bay bridge obscured by the low cloud cover and there's that marine layer off in the distance. concord you're still hot. you hit 100 today. you're still 91. livermore 91 degrees. tougher firefighting conditions for those men and women out there doing the thing. oakland 73. santa rosa 76. you're cooler. look at the city. down to 62 off of a high of 68 degrees. here's where we go tonight. lows in the 60s inland, vallejo 62, concord 64. upper 50s on the water and the

be hot anymore. heat wave is done after four days. the hottest weather now over. we'll be down to the 80s away from the water from tomorrow onward and fog is back widespread fog near the bay every morning for the next several, you will get afternoon sunshine but your temperatures dropping, as well. livermore above average by 4 degrees. you will be 12 degrees cooler than today with a high of 90. san jose topping out at 84. los altos 83. fremont you're back to the 70s. 78 for you. san mateo also 78. morning fog, afternoon sunshine. walnut creek down to 89. san ramon 88. antioch down to 90. you hit the triple digits today. in the city upper 60s, berkeley 73. sonoma 83. santa rosa 81. still pretty toasty up toward mendocino county. ukiah your high tomorrow 97 degrees. so we're back to normal and that's where we stay. no more heat waves coming. sunny inland 80s all the way through the weekend. afternoon sunshine near the bay 70s for you. and 60s at the coast. that is a very normal looking forecast which is a big change from what we just went through for the past four days. that is weather for you.
