time, but this just going to be a one in a series of storms that are going to be rolling on through. so slick out on the roads. remember the first rains of the season. 10 to bring up a lot of the oil on the pavement there. so be extra careful those roads going to be very slick over the next couple of storms that roll through. and here it is beautiful as it is rolling on in. you see a little swirl on the backside. that's low developing on the backside to keep that system on shore bringing rain in far northern california. first. but then draping itself across much of the bay area. now there's plenty more to come in fact, some of spots seeing some heavier amounts of rainfall in the bay area now taking for close look in the san francisco, a fairly strong band. now making its way across san francisco. let's take closer look now. if you see some of the cells are sliding on by in the bay shore. we see some of that activity making its way on through more that likely to continue. but pushing in across the bay and then stretching into parts of the east bay and some that are already showing up in the places like oakland and the berkeley and the piedmont emeryville. you're seeing some nice downpours right now for

the north. you've got more showers continuing into richmond and even further north. you can see pop-up showers there. some areas is a moderate amounts of rainfall popping up around the bay area. and then you've got this cell that is now making its way across american canyon into they're going to see plenty of rain. but there's so much more off the coastline. this just the beginning. in a series of storms now not only worried about the rain getting some gusty winds reports some gusts very strong, especially along the coastline could see gusts overnight tonight, 50 miles per hour, especially near the coastline advisories in effect starting now until 4 o'clock in the morning. we'll have more on your rain coming up in a few minutes. thank you, lawrence. if you see or smell smoke and sonoma county could be because cal fire is conducting a prescribed burn. it's happening west of magic mountain road and south of kidd creek. this is north of the russian river in a rather remote area. firecracker crews plan to burn about 40 started the fire at 7 o'clock this morning. they say they expect to be done with it within the

welcome relief for crews with the santa rosa fire department and they say while they have not been busy compared to years past. they say any drop of moisture falling from the sky is appreciated to help lower the fire danger in this area. officials say that they are actually getting ready to switch gears because of the rain that is falling. they say just a few days ago they were battling red flag warning conditions and now they're possibly preparing for an atmospheric river from all the rain that is expected to fall and that could cause big problems for a number of burn scars that are still in this area from recent fires. >> we thought especially given the conditions we've experienced the drought. >> the critically dry fuels that we were going to be likely face with another potential devastating season here in the north bay so the rains definitely a welcome sight. we're just hopeful that we get we for 2 the official

wedding rain. so we get those systems that have the breaks in between enough rainfall where it starts to help deal with the drought helps potentially and fire season but not too much rain. we're starting potentially negatively affect or impact our burn scars here locally. >> and because of that, the city of santa rosa has now set up a sandbagging station at the municipal center here so folks can go and philip their sandbags to prepare for those possible atmospheric river. rains that come in those areas impacted by those burn scars. that is available right now for folks here in santa rosa to go and fill up those sandbags. another quick note. i want to let you pam and ken, just in the last 30 minutes or so as the rain started to move in the temperatures drop very quickly in this area. so not only are folks dealing with the they're also dealing with a big temperature drop as well. coming up, all new tonight on kron 4 news at 9 o'clock talking with santa rosa fire officials. they say

we're in we'll be preparing for the impact of that rain here locally. so where do things stand with staffing. because you had a lot of people out there still mopping up from some of the major fires. >> that we had this summer. how much more rain do you need before you can say things are are good enough to start sending folks home. >> watching quite a bit of rain, too, to take care of a drought season as as were commonly used to having this time of the year. we take the opportunity is when we have the keys storms coming to the general area and they bring in summer rain and some winds are going to be affecting the burn scars. we make sure that we have our equipment and employees going to that area and help support the local unit in those affected areas. >> you must be excited, though, that we're finally getting some precipitation. and that was certainly hoping

that it will carry over for a few days and that the back to back to back nonstop. is there some way you have to prepare your crews for the potential of mudslides and other side effects from getting a lot of rain quickly. >> absolutely. first of all, we start with the communication to our communities, our workforce is our departments are local government folks that are to help support the need of the community. it is. but we also prepare for those that rapid influence of rain and precipitation that could affect those burn scars. as i mentioned earlier. so we make sure that sandbags and equipment and folks readily available to support the communities during those tragic times should we received a large amount of precipitation in rainfall that could affect those burn scar areas. we usually see in here and talk about cal fire during fire season but it as we've seen in the last few years. >> our season almost seems to be year round. and you have a lot of seasonal workers that

you bring in to the fire lines during the traditional fire season. are those seasonal workers going to be staying on the job for the foreseeable future and how many are we talking about. >> at the peak of our fire season. we bring in a couple extra 1000 folks and a lot of that was supported by the governors. funding for r workforce during the fire season. time busy time. but what we do is we offset that are are hiring and scheduling of our folks to make sure that our community and our state are supported effectively with the appropriate manpower. needed by our department. >> captain. i know we're getting some rain, you know, the next few days. but what's your opinion about these controlled fires. you know, there's a controlled burn going on right now. a sonoma county near i think the caller magic near magic mountain. also the estrada fire got out of control and lead to a much

larger fire than officers were able to get a handle on it still burning, i guess almost contain but not fully contained. some people are saying because of the drive, the long drought that we've dealt with that the fire crews should not be doing controlled burns in california right now. >> controlled and prescribed burns are necessary to effectively manage and and reduce some of that fuel that is a dangerous during those high winds and very active portions of a summer that fire season is is is most known for so as that could be challenging. tool that we utilize. it is very effective in helping our workforce is mitigate some of those hazards that are on our communities and homes and kept the real quick. i don't know if you were here during the oakland firestorm. you know, are marking the anniversary of 30 years since then today.

>> any. if you were here, do you just have any memory or any thing that you want to say that you all have now, even if you weren't here, you probably heard about what is your reflection when you think about this massive urban fire that happened 30 years ago. >> absolutely. that's a very historic fire that's known throughout not only our state but our nation and we learned so much from that. everything from equipment to communications be that we utilize in mitigating. well, let buyers and structures the fence. so i would every fire we learn from we learned so many valuable tools to help support our communities and keep our our public say so the a lesson can be learned from on major incidents. captain chris bruno was cal fire, thanks for your time and best of luck as you switch from fighting fires to. >> keeping the hills from sliding as we get all this rain coming in. captain, thanks again. thank
