6:00 am
>>reporter: pam, dave, it is smoky and cooler here on bear creek road than it was yesterday morning. george and i were able to look off in the distance where the fire burned through yesterday. we saw a couple of hot spots, but not the big towering flames like we saw yesterday and especially yesterday late morning. we are monitoring the fires progress. at last report the bear fire is just about 5% contained, 270 acres at last count. so far the bear fire claimed four homes forcing evacuations yesterday of some 150 to 200 homes in the area. residents in the path of this fire told ktvu it swept through so quickly late at night they did not have a chance to gather much before running away from those flames. crews on the line say they have been prepping for this fire -- a fire like this this time of year. >> we're really at the driest point of the fire season. this is when the weather usually turns. you know, the nights are cold. the days are shorter.
6:01 am
but the fuels are as dry as they get right now. >> we are expecting cal fire to hit this fire again aggressively this morning using a combination of hand crews, heavy equipment and air support as the sun comes up. keep in mind this could be a relatively stubborn fire because of the steep terrain out here. already five firefighters have injured themselves battling the bear fire. no word about overnight injuries and about those conditions. but that's one of the reasons why these firefighters may have injured themselves. they were telling me the conditionings are so steep they could have misstepped and start tumbling down an hour. we're going to have an update at 7:00 on the progress -- we are expecting that as the sun comes up. they're going to do that aerial survey. that will give them a sense of how the fire has
6:02 am
developed overnight, where they need to con straight their resources and how to focus on getting the bear fire under control. back to you guys. >> thank you, christien. they were trying to protect more homes from burning. a scary situation there, and of course weather playing a role in the fire fighting. what is it like in -- you were talking a little about it? >> if you get around 2500 feet, it's warmer, but i think christien will tell you it's cool. >> and for the day, the winds are not supposed to pick up. >> it's an onshore breeze so humidity will be higher. big pattern change here. it has taken ten days for us to get out of this north, northeast breeze. we're seeing that today. fog back, 60s, 70s. take a look toward the santa cruz area, there's areas of fog there. some may not have lifted far
6:03 am
enough. there's some on the coast and it's moving up the coast and starting to move inland for some. 40s on the temps. we'll take that. boulder creek, a couple of observations. 4, 4. that's cool. there's not much of a breeze. one observation and this is around 2600 feet. it has 19% humidity. the rest have high humidity. 60, 70% humidity. at least we get good news here and it will be better news tomorrow. a possibility of rain coming in. we have an opportunity to get some precipitation in there. 40s, 50s on the temps around oakland, also marin county and san francisco. and more of an onshore breeze today. not the northeast so that means your air quality will be better. 42 in santa rosa. napa, 43. impressive system for the pa pacific in the west. parts of northern california, we'll get rain, the best opportunity will be further north you go, so as -- santa rosa and lake -- decent
6:04 am
amounts. not as much as you go south. boulevard creek, point 90. that's beneficial rain after such a dry, dry pattern for so long. cooler day, onshore breeze. 60s, 70s for most and the fog has returned. you've been asking me for nine days, the fog has returned, sal. >> good, steve. >> not just smoke. >> i've been watching it. as i go to the bay bridge toll plaza traffic shot i want to show you we have a lot of slow traffic here, and later on today on the 9, perhaps you can pop in a little later. i'm going to speak with alameda county, a transportation person about the effort to get people out of their cars, single drivers can use the carpool lanes. on the right hand side of your screen, the carpool lanes are moving well and of course there's an effort to get more people to share their ride through reduced congestion everywhere in alameda county, that includes here at the bay bridge. let's look at the commute. there have been no
6:05 am

6:08 am
danger that did not threaten them. now, officials did use alternate systems, but users have to sign up for those and not everyone does. senator finestein and harris sent a letter to the fcc. they say the emergency warning system has to be changed to target more specific locations. and property owners returning to survey what's left of their homes are being warned not to clean it up themselves. the u.s. environmental protection agency says it will handle the first phase of the cleanup which is removing toxic terms from thousands of burned out properties. then cal recycle will move in to remove the non toxic waste. town hall meetings will be scheduled later this week to provide information about that cleanup process. property owners who do not follow the approved cleanup procedures could jeopardize their ability to obtain help from fema. fire crews near dublin and the east bay are watching for a
