also this afternoon, we're watching another big story as today marks the start of fire season in santa rosa. calif fire sharing this fire activity that has already happened in the a lake and the napa unit prior to the official start of the fire season. they're showing us here. how many acres have burned just in the month of may. the agency says that there were 71 wildfires that burned 102 acres going back to 2014. there were 3 years that wildfires burned more than 100 acres in may for that area. 2022 saw the most acres burned more than 1600. now staying in santa rosa. fire crews are going to be in doing some work with the community on a weed abatement program. and as kron four's theresa stasi reports, one woman says this is good because no one wants to go through what they dealt with in 2017. was hard we're lucky to be alive. >> sharing a bobby says that she will never forget that day. she and her husband had

to evacuate their santa rosa home as fire erupted all around them. their home was one of nearly 9,000 destroyed in the wine country. fires in 2017. 44 people died. damages hovered around 15 billion dollars that's been through one. so don't need another one. >> so with the city center is that the clearing first day of fire season? it allows us to initiate or weed abatement ordinance within the city. so that's us within the next week or 2 after today going out and starting those with and especially john lawton properties within the city limits. >> will power's is a fire inspector with santa rosa fire department. monday marks the official start of fire season and when the weed abatement program begins, we have pretty good compliance with residents. residents are already doing the work or the work has already been done. >> but it's just a reminder that when we do come around, we are looking for, you know, that overgrown lots overgrown properties that may need to be

mode. and that's where this weed abatement ordinance comes into play with us coming power says creating that defensible space can be a difference-maker with tall weeds like flashy feels fires. more prone to move quickly and can overcome overtake a property, a house or people trying to escape. and the big thing is that defensible space. if you do your part, your neighbor does their part. and that neighbor does their part. you're building more resilience. >> well, fire, resilient neighborhood. he says, besides getting the word out, it is critical to know when to clear space is you know, the old saying, you before 10:00am, is that still a big thing? >> you don't want during the heat of the day and if you're mowing weeding, make sure you're in a field with something that's made to mow a lawn. any sparks or anything like that can cause a fire and that that resident or person doing that work can be held liable. his couture dresses. >> don't throw any secrets you know, big careful. everything is dry. >> in santa rosa, theresa kron, 4 news.

>> robin in the house say that in fire neighborhoods were taken out they're ready for wildfire season is all we have to second. >> living in california comes with a threat of wildfires. and coming up, we're going to learn about this non toxic fire the 2 bay area teens developed in order to help fight wildfires. >> wow. air quality questionable. today there's wildfire smoke that's drifting in from canada. that has prompted air. quality advisory might be able to see and smell smoke in the area. let's get all the latest information right now from our media out. meteorologist kyla grogan. yeah, hi there. and really this point we're really more the it hayes, right that you would see. >> and we do say that sometimes anyway, from mount tam and some of that has to do with the marine layer and sometimes it can be smoke. but today i will say we kind of started off with a whole lot of yellow dots and we've pretty much stay there. a couple places have popped into a better space. san francisco is one of them, but that does main. it's moderate air quality and it could possibly

get a little bit worse. and here's why we take a look at where this wildfire smoke has gotten. these wildfires are from canada. well, to the north of us and to the east of us what you can see, even so a little bit of that kind of makes its way towards california. so as we take a look at what's going to happen over the 48 hours, you can see this is where those fires are all the way up in canada. there is a weather system that's actually gonna start pushing things kind of to the south and towards the east over the next 48 hours. that would probably bode well for us. obviously, it will not bode well for others as that smoke will be headed right in that direction. there's that weather system, though. that's going to start tracking towards the east. as that happens, it will start to drag some of that there. but something to keep an eye on. also keeping an eye on the sierra today, as you can see, as i zoom in here, getting a little bit of that tropical moisture. we talked about this last week, how we'd have a little bit of that kind of monsoonal feeling coming in and it is really getting fired up right now in parts of the central sierra, not really affecting our weather. pretty nice here. as you can see, we've had the clouds kind of pull away from some of the coastline. we're looking

pretty good. quick look at your temperatures shows you that we've got 60's 70's and just a couple of 80's out there, livermore right now at 80 degrees. but it's a temperate kind of day. that's where we'll stay for the next couple of days. i'll be back in a little bit. we'll talk more about 7 day forecast. >> and along the coast now, a popular beach in san mateo county remains closed after a surfer's board was bitten by a shark kron. 4 charles clifford. spoke with that surfer about what happened. >> here in san mateo county, a local surfer says his board was attacked by a shark. feels lucky to be alive. >> was actually a beautiful, warm day, you know. so we decided to take a family trip to the beach. yen's heller says that saturday afternoon around one he paddled out here on tara beach on his surfboard. >> he says that he and several other surfers were waiting for a wave when something foot and pretty hard so that it that i fell off the board. >> and then i looked back and then i saw just the big mouth with the teeth and the black eye of the shark head. but

going right into the rail of my board and like grabbing onto it. >> un says the shark, which he estimates was about 10 feet long. let go of the board and swam away heller in the other nearby surfers then paddled in the short haul. the lifeguards. what had happened. they then cleared everyone out of the water. heller says he was uninjured. feels lucky to be alive coming out of it without a scratch. good. that's just to destroy board. it's super lucky. the california academy of sciences says that sharks along the california coast like to feed on seals and sea lions and that in very rare cases where they attack people, it's probably because the sharks mistake that person for a seal or sea lion, they recommend that anyone going into the water use the buddy system. they say that being with a partner greatly improves your chances of surviving an attack. it's advice that yen's agrees with knowing that. >> there are people around and helping out if something happens as good. un says that the experience has left him

shaken, but he does plan to get back in the water with a renewed sense of respect for nature. i do respect the ocean. i do respect the animals in the ocean. >> so, you know, like we're visiting to some extent. so i think having that mindset is good. now, state parks did reopen the water here in montara beach on monday afternoon. but for now in san mateo county, charles clifford kron, 4 news. >> still ahead here, 3, charged with hate crime help today on the the peaceful rally trying to bring home israeli hostages. and it is officially pride last. we'll take a look at how one area take a look at how one area city

atlantic. and what it can do is you can make it a little more difficult for these hurricanes to form because it will reflect the sunlight, keeping the water a bit cooler. it will also sometimes have wind shear associated with it. and that can kind of cut some of the development off right at the top as they come across. but what's happening now is that this year dust is actually showing up already in the caribbean and starting to reduce their air quality and is expected to get to florida by about wednesday and then head towards texas. so not only to those folks have to deal with the fact that they've got fire smoke coming down from canada that now potentially we have saharan dust coming across as well. how about that? we don't have that to contend with. we do have to keep an eye out for that. canadian wildfire smoke that right now blue skies, beautiful as we take a live look here at the golden gate bridge. temperatures quite nice. you can see mostly in the 60's and 70's livermore. now at about 80 degrees wind picking up as we get into the afternoon. that's kind of our usual, right? but not bad. as we look at stormtracker, you can see here, some of those clouds have given a break even to parts of the coast. i'll be

ask, are you ok? yes, i'm okay. but then you take another breath and you're like. >> it's sadness at victor walks us through what he witnessed sunday while setting up. i believe i heard a crash. i felt a lot of heat. i turned to a flame and someone was on fire immediately jumping into action myself, 2 or 3 other people. this is not something we do guy who doesn't eat it. outside the banners are flags and we're just trying to get this fire out us as we could. to say it felt like it took one or 2 minutes always felt way too long to get this fire out. once she was on the ground. i was then with her husband who has on a a leg without sharing their identities. victor paints a picture of who some of the victims are. i feel like the youngest might have been in 40's ish the older ones are about 85 the to some more severely hurt had been married 58 years. another victim. he knows a holocaust survivor. she's an amazing, wonderful
