at 11, sparklers, fireworks safe and seen none of it. we don't want any, you know, no matches. nothing. just stay away from the fire, but some are not heeding that warning throughout the bay areag and in, illegal fireworks have been exploding all over the bay area. the 11 o'clock news on ktvu. fox two starts now, and fire officials in contra costa county say they have already responded to at least 10. fires just tonight, including some they believe were started by fireworks. hello again. i'm andre senior in tonight for frank. and i'm julie julie haener to give you an idea of just how many illegal fireworks are going off. here's a look at an air quality map from of san francisco. the air quality is in red, which indicates the bay area have been preparing for these illegal f oakland fire department deputy chief

nicolas looby. nicholas have there been any reports in your area of fires so far tonight? there has we've had a very busy evening throughout the day. actually we've had almost. uh, vegetation. fires reported structure, fires and numerous smoke investigations throughout the city. well, that's quite a bit and you know, we've been hearing about the warnings all week, and despite bay area authorities strongly advising people not to set off illegal fireworks out of concern, they could start a fire. people are still ignoring these warnings. so what happens to someone if they are caught doing this? uh there's the law enforcement, um, action if they are found it is a violation of the law. there's zero tolerance for fireworks used throughout oakland throughout. east bay, and it is punished punishable by misdemeanor action if it catches the structure on fire, it can be enhanced. nicholas yod

there was a structure fire and there have bee no to fireworks or structure, fires, all fires th and efficiently and everything has been extinguished quickly. so nicholas, we keep watching. we've been watching ever since the sun went down a live picture from our roof camera showing downtown oakland hills in downtown san jose area, and there's just spend a nonstop display of illegal fireworks. and it happens every year. what is your strategy throughout the night? how do you like station crews or your different units? what d uh we take. we take several measures to try to enhance our capabilities that we increase our stopping

staffing. we have increased istch center. to handle the large amount of calls that come in associated with the fireworks. and also this year we and in past years we've done strategic street closures, so grizzly peak this year was closed. for 5.5 miles up in the oakland hills where we've had in the past fireworks, start fires and the vegetation and also other illegal activities. so we have shut those roadways down the reduced crowds and the legal activity and then this year. we also did some strategic closures around lake merritt that help us with emergency response and emergency vehicles being able to get through in case they fire would start in the areas in the building surrounding lake merritt, deputy chief we know that last year you closed grizzly peak as you mentioned just a moment ago and did that help and secondly, if it did work, will you be expanding that to areas that are more prone to fires in the future? it helps me mentally like i said, i believe this is our third year of closing grizzly peak, and in previous

years prior to that, it would be it become gridlock up there. we wouldn't be able to access any fires that did start the crowds would be large, they would be engaged in illegal activity. every year we re re analyzed hot spots after everything settles down this evening, and throughout the weekend, we'll go back and we'll look for calls for service came in and we'll start creating strategies for next year. fourth of july and see how we can enhance our service capabilities. to meet the communities risk. hopefully there won't be, uh, any issues do know it is bone dry out there. oakland fire department deputy chief nicolas louis. thank you so much for your your time tonight. thank you. have a great evening in san francisco, the city put on a legal fireworks show for the first time since 2019. ktvu demagogues joins us now live from the embarcadero, where thousands of people gathered today to try to catch a glimpse of the spectacular display. emma yes, they did, julie and

collapsed condo building in south florida ahead of an approaching. storm. this comes

as tropical storm elsa churns toward the state 24 people have now been confirmed dead more than 120. others are still unaccounted for some residents in surfside say they are glad that officials moved forward with today's demolition. it shouldn't be weeks to do something. you're going to cut red tape right away, and it shouldn't have taken the storm because we have our rescue workers there and it was shifting officials in surfside. we're concerned that strong winds and heavy rain from tropical storm else that could knock down the remaining structure as search and rescue teams sift through the rubble looking for those still missing. investigators say they still don't know what caused that building to collapse are going to san jose were a mobile home was destroyed and two others were heavily damaged in of fire. today, the fire was reported shortly before noon out of mobile home park on south jackson avenue in east san jose. no injuries were reported. firefighters had the fire under control in about 90 minutes. no word yet on the

cause of the fire. police departments across the bay area are reminding people to drive safely tonight. extra chp officers are out on patrol. all watching out for people who are speeding or driving under the influence. san francisco police started conducting dy patrols at seven o'clock tonight, officers say a recent study found 30% of drivers in deadly crashes had at least one substance in their system. officers are also on alert for distracted or aggressive driving and road rage. incidents we're continuing to monitor the illegal fireworks have been popping up around the bay area, which is a tinderbox right now, check out these live pictures in. all over east oakland right now, crews have been preparing for. ktvu gg liggins tells us more about the extra staffing this weekend. sunday afternoon, cal fire and contra costa fire joined forces to knock down flames burning in the hills off kirker passburgh . officials say a burning that quy

spread to 40 acres before being contained. firefighters are hoping they don't have to contend with more of these sunday night, as they did last year, when scores of fires many started by fireworks stretched resources, then. we had so many fires in a three hour period last fourth of july and here con fire that we had to reduce our response levels from the normal three or four or five engines or trucks down to one per fire because we had so many fires about 103 hour period. con fire has again beefed up staffing and equipment for the fourth and is making a final plea to the public about fireworks. whether legal or not across the different jurisdictions using them on a night like tonight. these conditions with these winds is nothing short of totally irresponsible in the north bay, the scene of so many devastating fires in recent years, cal fire says it will have full staffing of engine stations and dozers and then

throughout the evening will be out patrolling the areas. uh, just in to help inform people high fire danger is emblematicd of conditions throughout most of the bay. despite the danger being addressed ad nauseam on news outlets on the fourth of july. some people persist in ignoring the advice of those who risk their lives, putting fires out. yeah, we sparklers fireworks safe and saying none of it. we don't want any, you know, no matches. nothing. just stay away from the fire part. king is not allowed along much of oakland's lake merritt until five a.m. monday to make it easier for emergency vehicles to make their way through and in the hills grizzlyboulevard hd through monday morning, a strategy the department says proved successful last year, it's to prevent people from lig. that's a high fire threat zone, right? it's all grasses brush, and it's also like i said, it's

all drought conditions. the fuels are super dry. in addition to discouraging the use of fireworks departments are urging people to call 911 as quickly as possible. if they think they see a fire. don't assume someone else is going to call because getting limited resources to fires as soon as possible is going to be critical. greg legans ktvu fox two news now the oour side tonie marine layer has certainly made a comeback this evening, and that helps our relative humidity levels to rise. and that brings the moisture in the air and those dry fuels on the ground. around. of course, you know, any spark could start something. so you just want to be really careful regardless of the fact that we are fortunate to have that marine layer you can see it. certainly streak alive. look at oakland, you see those clouds kind of hazy conditions out there. temperatures have certainly rolled back this evening. 56 right now in san francisco and berkeley, about 59 in oakland, were about 60 in fairfield, 61 conquered 61 of mountain view. that's what the highest never on the map wind has calmed down

from where it was this afternoon, so little delta breeze and fairfield and it is that onshore flow that is helping to bring the marine layer in yet again tonight but again kind of ramp down. we'll see that wind pick up again in the afternoon tomorrow and then start to ramp down again as we get into the evening kind of the typical summer patterns. so tonight temperatures around the bay with low clouds and patchy drizzle. we're looking out for low fifties and some of our valley's like santa rosa and napa and out of the coast in the mid to upper fifties around the rest of the base, so we're kind of nestled between two pressure systems low pressure off the coast. high pressure is inland, and right now, low pressure is pretty much controlling things right, bringing that marine layer. in and that will be the case for monday and tuesday as we keep those pleasant temperatures, but certainly those foggy mornings and the little fog out but we get later into the week, we're going to see high pressure start to nudge in, build up. and when it does, here goes the temperatures particularly inland. so how warm are we talking? well san rosa today was 75 degrees. we're looking at her 94 next saturday. 84 conquer turns into 100 by next

saturday because you san francisco looking out for 70 and mid eighties in san jose is you know, start to warm up well on thursday, then friday, saturday and sunday. we'll see those temperatures go up. but tonight we're gonna have the marine layer really in control. so you see the fog tomorrow morning about seven am pretty pervasive around the bay. it does pull back and just kind of hang out at the coast, but it really won't clear out for most of us until about noon tomorrow. 11 a.m. noon. it looks like one of get a little chance of some sunshine in there. and then it rolls back in tomorrow night and again that keeps us moderate. so tomorrow temperatures expected to be 65 in san francisco. we'll see some seventies out there in places like napa, but eighties and conquered santa rosa and we're going to ####. you'll get up to about 85 degrees, so little warm inland but mild out at the coast again. the typical summer pattern, the extended forecast shows you that the warm up kind of kicks in as we get into thursday and friday, but then head towards the weekend. there. it is triple digit heat inland on saturday and sunday, and of course that

does bring increased fire danger with it. and just, you know, time to kind of get that back into our vocabulary. we've had kind of this nice cool temperatures in the mornings and evenings these past few days. so julian andre, it's just a different pattern coming our way and hopefully it won't last too terribly long. we were duterte, kyla. thank you so much. well two men from the east mayor trying to break a 50 year old record for time spent rocking back and forth on a teeter totter in 1971. 18 year old chuck walker, right. about two hamburger shop workers in southern california who had set a world record by spending 168 consecutive hours on a teeter totter. a month later, he and a buddy beat that record spending 216 hours honestly saw in a sacramento parking lot. well 50 years later, walker is trying to beat his own record. he and his friend martin, mike hartshorne, are three days into the venture at toto santos park and conquered. walker and hartshorne are planning to stay on. teeter totter through july 10 and bay area native joey
