about the frantic evacuation and the city of oakland, hoping to avoid the violence that marred last year's juneteenth festivities. and so far, so good. uplifting celebration of the city's black community. plus, a bay area family reunites with a health care workers who provided lifesaving care for their little bundle of joy, who weighed less than 1 pound at birth. know, it's very windy outside. so we begin with those powerful winds and those bone dry conditions, creating some big headaches all across the bay area right now. here's a live look outside across the region, you can really feel that wind pick up today as cooler weather settled in, the conditions ripe for fire danger and makovec is

tracking some of the fires we're seeing popping up all around the bay area. and >>yeah, ryan, we are starting with the fire that just this afternoon burned several homes in brentwood. and firefighters are still on scene right now. this broke out at around 130 on sunrise drive. and that is a neighborhood with homes and businesses near brentwood boulevard. at least four homes were burned, as well as several outbuildings, including two kennels. we have not heard yet if there were animals inside those kennels. a total of six people were displaced by the fire. you can see the destruction here. the red cross is trying to help them out this evening, and firefighters are going to remain in brentwood to make sure that fire doesn't reignite with those dry and windy weather conditions. they are increasing the risk around the bay, similar to what we saw last night in antioch. a fire breaking out at around 7 p.m. and quickly growing. this was near the black diamond mines regional preserve. video showing flames just ripping

through that dry brush with the winds at fire burned about a half a square mile before crews stopped its spread. at around midnight, we saw an aggressive attack right off the bat, with cal fire helicopters dropping retardant on homes. and one homeowner you see here even got up on his roof with a hose to try to protect it. well, no homes were burned in that fire. neighbors were coming back to a real mess today. the street and several homes covered in pink retardant. a couple of homeowners were out spray washing their roofs and their driveways. a navy sailor that we spoke with says that he was away from home when the fire broke out, and his wife called him, sounding frantic. >>i was on duty over in the navy base over in san diego, and i got a phone call from my fiance. more of a panic, kind of like, hey, there's the hills are on fire. what do i do? and i told her, grab everything that has a heartbeat and get out of the house. it's overwhelming. i think hearing her reaction, seeing this afterwards, it's like, you know, i can see why she reacted

the way she did. this is definitely a scary sight to see. >>an evacuation warning was put in place last night in that area. first responders had to help people get out of an assisted living home. in one of those residents was taken to the hospital. right now, that fire is fully contained. the cause still under investigation right? >>all right. thanks, sam. well, pga has started its first power shutoffs of the season because of the increased fire risk. the triangles and purple showing the planned outages impacting just under a thousand customers right now, mostly in alameda county, but also in parts of santa clara and contra costa counties. one of the neighborhoods impacted is just north of the concord pavilion. we spoke with homeowner bob henry, he says. the outage started at 4:30 a.m., and pga said it could last until saturday morning. but bob says like a normal day for him since his home is running off solar. he also took advantage of a program from pga that installs a battery storage system in

homes for free in certain high risk areas. >>so i called and they got back to me within about a week and a half, and one thing led to another. a few questions and next thing a site manager came out, took all the measurements, said we qualified, all said and done, and took about a month and a half, two months from start to finish. >>pg e says more shutoffs are expected throughout the weekend. okay, let's check in with first alert meteorologist darren peck joining us right now with a closer look. and we can just see that wind >>just >>barreling off the coast. >>this needs to be addressed. >>this >>is what made today different. i mean, the wind really picked up today. i've got an explanation for that. but i'll do that later. i'll talk to you about the winds and how it will impact the last part of your week and the weekend coming up in a bit. right now, we need to turn our attention to where the risk is from a fire weather standpoint. and when we do that, come over here to this

part of the bay. this is where that map was showing you where the power outages are. you can just see how brown it is here. the grass is already cured out here. and when we layer on top of this, the visualization for where the fire risk is, when you start to get into those shades of orange on this map, that's showing you where the higher degree of concern is based on a number of things how dry the vegetation is, how low the humidity is, and yes, how windy it's gotten. speaking of which, take a look what's happening out here right now. put a couple of locators on here. 47 mile an hour wind gusts on altamont pass. that's probably one of the windier parts of the bay right now. and that all is downwind. take a look at the rest of the bay. it's windy. no, it was windy for your part of the day today, but these numbers over here do not compare with what is going on over on altamont pass. one other thing about that map ryan showed if you get more detail on it so you can kind of see where we are, look where all the power outage shutoffs are. those are all the grassy hills that surround the tri-valley. and on that southern edge of altamont pass. got a couple of

cameras up there. this one comes from highland peak looking south. anything below 2500ft right now is cured and brown, but it is a different story if you get above that. the other camera on highland peak. looking back north, there's mount diablo. we're still doing relatively okay. it's june, it's real early in the year above 2500ft. we're still doing okay, but we've got some high degrees of concern now as we've seen a number of times, not just from all of the ones and outlined today. we've been doing this for weeks now. the grass is ready to go. and this is one of the areas to be on high awareness for. i'll be back with the rest of the forecast. when are we going to get rid of the wind? i'll see you with that in a few minutes. ryan, back to >>you. all right. thanks, darren. well, three people are out of their home in east san jose after a cooking accident sparked a fire that spread through the house. our chopper showing the damage to the roof of the home. crews responded to the fire just after noon on oslo way in the piedmont hills neighborhood. san jose fire says it was likely caused by a

propane issue while someone was cooking outside. the fire was focused mostly in the garage, but also spread to the living space and the attic. firefighters say it did not cause some minor damage to the home next door. no one was hurt. this fire was less than a mile from the ranch. fire that we all remember broke out tuesday afternoon, prompting evacuations in the east san jose foothills. it grew to 92 acres, burning 20ft from some homes before it was contained. okay, well, today is juneteenth, a federal holiday marking the day in 1865 when a group of african americans in galveston, texas, finally learned that they were free. and in oakland, thousands of people came out together for a juneteenth celebration. kenny choi joins us live right now from lake merritt. hey, kenny. >>ryan. good evening. as you can see, a pretty quiet day here at the park for most of the day. some gatherings here and there. we have noticed a lot of street closures limiting

the number of cars that are able to park in the immediate area. some residents tell me that because of what happened last year, some of the gunfire that erupted late into the evening on juneteenth last year, they're choosing to celebrate in other ways at other venues. >>security teams monitored barricades well in advance of the juneteenth celebrations around lake merritt. lucia bell wanted a safe option to kick off the holiday at the oakland museum for live music, dancing and community. >>it's a good reminder of life and love and the pursuit that we should all have of freedom. oakland gets negative attention and we get the negative news. but this is what oakland is about. we're about community. we're about culture. everyone is safe here. and so it's an amazing day here in oakland. >>lines wrapped around the museum to get in for the sold out juneteenth event. museum officials say it sold some 3500 tickets. it's the second year they're hosting this event.

>>it's a time when black folks were not allowed to celebrate the fact that we were free. parties and celebrations around juneteenth were more hush hush. we're more in your church, in your backyard. with it now becoming a federal holiday, and with more and more people understanding the history of it. it's out. it's loud, it's proud. it's joyful in a big celebratory way. so i love that we are part of that here at oakland museum. we as a community, and what the experiment of democracy in the us is in this country of a melting pot of everything from around the world living together, being in harmony and voting and every voice counting. we're all free. >>attendees say it's a family friendly event that has become a popular way to kick off juneteenth in oakland. >>juneteenth is about remembering the work of african americans in this country, remembering that we were not free when others were free, remembering our contributions and honoring that.

>>back here live at lake merritt, a lot of people enjoying this relaxing day. beautiful weather here at the park. now, oakland officials reminding people and pleading with residents here in oakland to have a safe juneteenth celebration tonight. last year, of course, gunfire erupted. there were about 1414 people were wounded that last that night last year. it started with an illegal sideshow. it escalated into a dispute and then gunfire. so oakland officials and so many residents here are hoping that that won't repeat this year as we celebrate juneteenth. ryan. >>all right. kenny choi reporting live from oakland from lake merritt. well, it's a huge night for valkyrie fans. caitlin clark playing her first ever game at chase center as the indiana fever looked to hand golden state their second straight loss. our kelsi thorud joins us live outside chase center right now. kelsi, this is a game that a lot of fans had circled on their calendar.

>>oh yeah, it is ryan. you know, it's a little gusty out here, but it is a beautiful night for a basketball game. and as you said, this is a big one. the valkyries taking on caitlin clark and the indiana fever for the first time this season. we are about two hours away from tipoff and you can see just how many people are already out here waiting to get inside chase center. we've seen, of course, a lot of valkyries here, but for this game also a lot of caitlin clark jersey. we've even seen some iowa jerseys, which is where both caitlin clark and kate martin went to college. this of course, a big matchup for so many people wanting to see caitlin clark play basketball in person for the first time here at chase center. we actually caught up with one family that is both valkyries fans and caitlin clark fans. here's what they told us. >>how old. are you? four. and you play basketball? yeah. oh my goodness. and is caitlin clark your favorite fan? yes. so who are you going to root for tonight? are you going to

root for caitlin and indiana or for the valkyries? the valkyries? this is my son. it's his birthday. and it fell on the day. and i said, caitlin's going to come to our town. we got to be there. so i brought my dad from the reservation and he flew in. so. >>and, you know, we've talked to a lot of fans just like that family. you know, a lot of people are excited to see caitlin clark, but that is not stopping them from rooting on their hometown valkyrie. so many people think valkyries are going to come out with the win here tonight. ryan. and of course it's juneteenth. so the first 10,000 fans who go through the doors are actually going to get a little souvenir poster by local artist. so a lot to celebrate here at chase center tonight. >>all right, kelsey thor reporting live center lot to celebrate. and a big game. of course tonight coming up later in sports. our matt lively will get you ready for tonight's big matchup. and at 630 and kpix5 if you can't be there it's all valkyries all the time. our pregame show. we'll break down all the big storylines ahead of tonight's game. and at seven, you can

watch the valkyries take on the fever right here on kpix five. well, the battle heating up in berkeley over strict new rules to protect homes from wildfires. meet the people pushing back, and those applauding the decision. for coming up, how the ember proposal could lead to a legal battle. and we'll take you to fremont, where people who own the jewelry store, this jewelry store, picking up the pieces after a frightening smash-and-grab robbery. we're going to show you how one east bay city is building a new sculpture memorial to recognize a dark time in their past. what the artist behind the project says he ho this xfinity wifi is booming!

well, family owned jewelry store in fremont. picking up the pieces today after a brazen smash and grab. as you can see, a car rammed into the front of kumar jewelers yesterday evening. this happened around 530. police say multiple people then jumped out and smashed the display cases before taking off in a number of other vehicles. officers say they managed to track one of the getaway cars down and arrest four people believed to be involved in the robbery. they also recovered some of the stolen jewelry. but despite the good news for the owners, they still have a long way to rebuild their business. >>and it's just not fair. i mean, this is america, so you're entitled to be able to run your business peacefully and safely, and it's just unfortunate that this is the reality. it's just sometimes it's not a matter of if, but a matter of when. >>psaki, the son of the owner, says anywhere between 15 and 20 people were involved in that smash and grab, but investigators would not give an exact number, only saying that they are actively searching for more suspects. well, a heated

back and forth in berkeley, where the city council unanimously approved new rules that would force residents to create a five foot buffer between their homes and any vegetation. the proposal faced heavy opposition from residents. and now, as andrea nakano reports, a group of neighbors is even considering legal action. >>the talk high above grizzly peak in the berkeley hills, is all about the amber proposal. jorge perez velez, with the alliance for practical fire solutions, was disappointed with the council's vote. >>i was not surprised, i was heartbroken, i believed that the city had already made its made its mind up. >>perez velez feels the proposal is overreaching and puts a financial burden on homeowners that can't afford to comply with the new regulations. he says the alliance is talking about what the next step should be. >>i think that some members within the alliance are exploring the possibility of taking legal

action on certain aspects of the proposal. >>the public comment on amber took hours, some commending the council for taking action before the state announces its own fire regulations in 2029. >>we cannot wait for the state because fires don't wait. >>the council promised to review and make changes to amber as it gets ready to roll out the ordinance in the next year, but some say this ordinance couldn't come soon enough. >>this ordinance may not be perfect. it may need some tweaking, but it is better to act now to protect our homes, to preserve our insurance, than to wait. >>but some fellow neighbors disagree. they feel like there's too much ambiguity, making it difficult to comply with all of the proposed rules. >>i think it's a flawed, ineffectual, incomplete action. >>the alliance for practical fire solutions has 30 days to

decide whether or not to take legal action. perez velez says the entire community is committed to keeping the area safe from the next big fire. the question is, what's the best way to make that happen? >>is it really necessary? is this proposal going to accomplish what we that say this is going to accomplish? >>so as we check in with darren once again for a look at our forecast. don't be fooled by this map because this was yesterday >>right >>when it was nice. it was warm. it was hot. even the day before was even nice, warm and >>hot. the change was so dramatic. today i just feel like we need a little perspective. like, how did we get here? this was a dramatically different, first of all, see the time stamp down here? ryan's right about this. these are yesterday's numbers. this is yesterday's color template on here. you see how red and even smoky white is out there in the central valley. all right. pick out your part of the bay. yes. that is three degrees shy of 100. yesterday

in concord, you were that close. livermore was that close as well. let's come back out for the wide view, because we're going to say goodbye to the numbers on there from yesterday. and now we're going to jump to today's contour. and already you see the dramatic difference. but when we put the numbers on here a 20 degree drop mid 90s yesterday inland east bay mid 70s today san francisco dropped ten degrees. you were on the verge of 70 yesterday down to 59 san jose you dropped ten degrees. it was 83 there yesterday. so this is all tied into the fact that the wind picked up today. and let me give you a little explanation on why and how long it's going to be around. so we'll say goodbye to the numbers that we're looking on here. let's go back to that view now, where we can bring in the wind streams and see how the the wind's behaving right off the coast. and when you look at it on here, we've got like 40 to 50 mile an hour gusts out here and they're shaded in red up there. you kind of see how it's really kind of speeding towards the coast today. and then it's rushing through the gaps. these

are onshore winds we don't ordinarily talk about fire weather concerns like we are today. when the wind is coming onshore. a lot of humidity in that, but they're going so fast and they're going through those passes inland where the altamont pass is that they're speeding up over dry grass that has been dried by inland. what was a very warm june inland and may. so the grass is that's part of the reason, the concern. but what happened with the wind. so if we've got onshore winds. all right. we covered that. where'd it come from? you'd be hard pressed to see it if you looked at the satellite. there's nothing really out here that you'd go. well, that's why it got windy. until you go to one of the best visualizations to really see what's going on in the atmosphere. there is a trough here. you see it little counterclockwise spin and the energy just pile drived right into california. so when you look at the atmosphere this way, you can now see why the wind all of a sudden picked up. and i know i've got the windstream sitting here with me now, almost to drive the point home. so this is going to take at least another day for the influence of this to move

through. so tomorrow is going to be just about as windy as today was. it'll be more onshore wind tomorrow for friday. and then by saturday things should start to get a little better. watch what is about to happen in the overnight hours. we'll come back for the local view of the bay, and we'll put on the visualization where we can kind of see the clouds sitting off the coast. here's one other reason why tomorrow is not necessarily going to be that big of a deal. from a fire weather standpoint, marine layer is going to fill in. so we'll start out with june gloom tomorrow morning. and then it's just very quickly going to melt right back again to the coast in the afternoon. so we get the benefit of increasing that humidity in the morning. and then you'll get sunshine in the afternoon. the temperatures tomorrow are going to be virtually identical to the day you just had. so friday's just like today. things should start to warm up a bit by the time we get into the weekend, and by warming up a bit, it's not going to get hot. we're just going to go back up to average. so this is the seven day forecast for inland microclimate. there's tomorrow which is just like today windy and cool. and then you'll be

pretty nice around here again. rest of the seven day forecast. those inland numbers will be right around low 80s. and you shouldn't it should not be as windy. interestingly enough by saturday, sunday and monday we might actually get some weak offshore winds. they don't look crazy strong. it'd be the opposite of what we have today. it's just a total reversal. we'll gauge those because that could then also elevate fire weather concerns from the other direction. but more on that as we get to it. it doesn't look too serious at this point. all right, ryan, back to >>you. all right. thanks, daryn. well, coming up on this juneteenth, an update on a story we brought you yesterday, how one east bay city now moving forward by recognizing a dark time in their history. let's meet the artist whose sculpture design will help people experience it. says there are a lot. and a tense scene at a dodger stadium, as federal agents

appear to try to gain access to the facility. we're going 1-800-got-junk? works till midnight seven days a week. we come when it■s convenient for you, not when it's convenient for us. when you want junk to disappear. all you have to do is point. we make space for possibilities.

1-800-got-junk? works till midnight seven days a week. we come when it■s convenient for you, not when it's convenient for us. when you want junk to disappear. all you have to do is point. we make space for possibilities.

on this juneteenth, an update to a story we brought to you yesterday. the city of piedmont, officially releasing the preliminary designs for a new memorial that they say forces them to confront, but also move forward from a dark past. 101 years ago, the deering family became the first black family to own a home in piedmont, but at the time, they faced violence and racism and were forced to sell their home and leave town. well, today, the city is moving forward with building a memorial sculpture they call the deering portal that will be built at triangle park in front of their original home. that project was designed by oakland artist and architect landscaper walter hood, who showed us the original designs and explained to us what visitors will see and experience once they sit inside. >>and you'll sit in here, you'll look up, there's a mirror here that reflects here

to take you here. and on that mirror will be texts, which says there are black people in the future. one, i hope they're introduced to the deering family. there will be a history on the side panels written about the family in both and two they'll remember and they'll have an experience in a redwood grove. >>piedmont city mayor betsy anderson saying the memorial is not about history. it is a statement about who piedmont is today and the future. we want to build. construction of the deering portal is scheduled to be complete by june of next year. we have an in-depth look at the history of the deering family, and the ongoing effort to bring that memorial to life. you can watch my full story at kpix.com. when eight year old nyla silas was born. doctors weren't sure if she would survive. nurses say nyla was born three months before her due date and weighed less than a pound. but after seven months of treatment at the neonatal intensive care unit at kaiser permanente in san francisco,

nyla went home for the first time at a healthy 15 pounds. well, today, she reunited with the medical team that helped save her life. doctor karen barclay told us about the challenges they face when caring for nyla. >>even our smallest equipment was just very challenging with her. took a huge team when she was born to get a breathing tube in the right spot and really support her on a ventilator, have the right equipment to go in her veins and in her stomach. >>meanwhile, nyla's parents, duane and maria, looked back on their roller coaster of emotions the day nyla was born. >>you know, being in a situation where you don't have, like, a lot of control over what was going on, you know, it it put us in a very vulnerable and scary, scary position. the only thing that brought us comfort were the our nurses and our doctors, who did an amazing job. and we were so happy to finally walk out of here with her.

>>with a birth weight of 14oz, nyla was one of the smallest babies ever delivered at kaiser permanente san francisco. when we come back, what has so many people looking up at the trees at one san francisco neighborhood? we're going to show you the family of owls that have become the bay area's newest celebrities, plus a celebration of black art and history in san francisco. we're going to talk to the organizers, helping to bring authentic voices to a broader audience. in our. thom tillis. plus, dozens of federal agents staged outside a dodger stadium, los angeles. the response fro
