stinson kron 4 news here we go again, thanks a lot of sarah. >>well red flag warning forced the closure of one road in the north bay the marin county sheriff's office closed fairfax bolinas road between the metal club and highway one area in bolinas they don't want anyone on that road possibly sparking a fire. the closure will last until wednesday morning. >>the high fire danger also means the pgd could turn off your power. and that includes people in 6 of the bay area counties kron four's will tran on the story for us this morning in alameda county good morning. well. >>good morning james altogether about 19 counties and to tribal communities. i'm in castro valley and you can see all the woods behind me the lights are on at this particular time. but there is a chance according to pg e that they could flip the switch off. and these people could be in the dark for their benefit for their safety because of the high fire danger so take a look at your screen. we chose alameda county on purpose because it's the hardest hit county. as far as the hear

stinson first in the field in concord for a look at the conditions there sarah. >>sorry i'm live here highway 4 above conquered we're look behind me looks like a fog is all covering around me that's actually haziness air quality not so great this morning as we head into a triple digit day here in concord take a look so there's a red flag warning in effect goes in effect at one this afternoon and it's not just here in concord are in the east bay is also up where the glass fire is burning in the north bay going to be a difficult fight for those firefighters as we head into awful conditions east bay hills santa cruz mountains also in this red flag warning the last time we saw this morning the glass fire erupted over the weekend. so now more than ever it's time to take this seriously we've seen the aftermath of what these conditions can produce they're going to be northwest winds of 10 to 20 miles per hour with gusts of 20 to 30 miles per hour. we also have a dry conditions take a look at this video. there's a lot of dry conditions across the area in the video that s

so let's get to our team coverage now of both of these stories first kron 4 sarah stinson in concord with the details sarah. >>and there's a lot of haziness here in concord i'm actually above conquered and walnut creek on this hillside off of highway 4 and you can see just how hazy it is there's blanket of it above highway for into the left of it and then all across above conquered you can barely see downtown concord which on a clear day it would be very easy to see from here and then on the hillside you can see those dry conditions that we're seeing so temperatures of one '04 dry conditions and winds well that's what we call a time to put a red flag warning in place take a look at this map so you can see most of the bay area is in pink, which means the red flag warning is in effect at one this afternoon for the glass fire region that soon be really difficult for firefighters in the north bay east bay hills santa cruz mountains the last time we saw a red flag warning the glass fire up to over the weekend so it's very important to take this seriously have that go bag ready because the

a lot sarah. >>well another part of the story too is the fact that there is bracing for those higher temperatures with the potential for triple digits come later this afternoon or human barometer in the field will tran. >>let's see how hot it is right now in concord high will. >>it's about 77 degrees is not the heat that we should be particularly concerned about it's just the whole package. i met line ridge open space and look right behind me james and you're a look at the trees if they are just swaying back and forth it is getting gusts year and gust year. you mix that with the dry conditions. the low humidity. the heat and that is why we are staring and possibly another wildfire another round that's ypg me says they probably will have to cut off power in certain locations to prevent another wildfire and look at the barrier here in the barricades. they know how conditions are right so they actually have already shut this area off to the public they don't want this dry. hillside going up in flames

stinson is there live right now sarah what's going on. >>darya james the coast guard has just arrived they could hear the helicopter in the distance course, it's pitch black outside you can barely see anything but we know one person needs to be rescued off the cliff here at marshall's beach is right near baker beach and the golden gate bridge. i think it's best if i just get behind the camera after a show you this maps you can get a clear idea of where i am there's a lot of trails in this area popular area for people to come to of course, not this early in the morning, but it's pitch black outside and that's why it's also making this extremely difficult to rescue the person and very steep terrain, this is all next to the golden gate bridge. a very steep terrain it's a great place to go hiking walk down to the beach side. marshals beach baker speech will old battery trails taking you live out here right now you can rescue boat in the water of course they first tried to find the person on foot and a water and then they decided that the coas

we've got kron 4 sarah stinson live in calistoga with more on this story, sarah. >>james i'm live here in downtown calistoga or you can see the business is all lit up that could not be the case tonight by 6 o'clock. >>here in the north bay we have heard from pg e and they're saying that. >>33,000 homes and businesses could be without power as soon as 6 o'clock tonight and that is in the sierra nevada foothills and here in the north bay, then about 2 hours later and other portions of the sierras in the bay in the bay area an additional 21,000 customers could also lose their power. >>you're looking at a map you know kelso live now a city hit hard by the glass fire. >>people appear in the north bay face more fire danger due to dry hot and windy weather conditions. it's already breezy here. tonight, wind gusts will be ramping up possibly hitting as high as 55 miles per hour tonight that combined with bone dry humidity causes for major concern that's why a red flag warning has also been issued pg e says shutting off the power is a precaution to decrease the chances of

>>kron 4 sarah stinson is up in napa county now with more on the story sarah good morning. >>the north bay will actually be the first hit by this power outage or shut off if it does occur and that would be at 6 o'clock tonight as many as 33,000 pg e customers will be without power at 6 o'clock tonight in the sierras and here in the north bay at 6 o'clock if genie decides to go through with this power shut off. take a look at the maps you can see just who would be affected and they said 2 hours after that's around 8 o'clock other portions of the sears in the bay area that including an additional 21,000 customers could also lose their power of course right now live in calistoga city hit hard by the glass fire and people up here in the north bay they're now facing more fire danger due to dry hot and windy weather conditions tonight. wind gusts will be ramping up possibly even hitting as high as 55 miles per hour. and that's the biggest concern for pg need that combined with bone dry humidity causes for major concern so they're looking at that they're also looking at the red fl

>>kron 4 sarah stinson is live there what do we know right now what happened. >>well we haven't been able to confirm a whole lot of information but what we do know is that this is an officer involved death of some kind they were chasing a person and that person died on the scene there was some kind of crash how this person died that's what we're trying to confirm, but let's take a look at this map so you can see exactly where i'm standing because it can be a little difficult especially because it's dark out right as robin was saying it happened on the highway to 42 and highway 4 westbound interchange it's a very high overpass in the crash actually happened on that overpass and it's it's very high up and so the crash happened there and then something happened after that and that's what we're trying to confirm at this time and that she had that overpass interchange close for a while they have reopened it though so that's good news it was closed and that could have really impacted this morning's commute so as you can see right now live traffic is moving smoothly,

we have kron 4 sarah stinson. >>live in napa county with what we need to know sarah. >>yeah, we're experiencing some extremely dry conditions as well as some wind gusts expected to hit the north bay, those combined is why the national weather service has issued this red flag warning it went into effect late last night and will continue until at least tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock take a look at this maps you can see in the pink all the areas that are affected by this you can see up here in the north a wind gusts could be up to 40 miles per hour per hour are in napa and sonoma counties, stronger winds are expected late at night in the mountain peaks in higher elevation areas that combined with extremely low humidity and some warmer temperatures could cause a fire to break out. so that is the concern here we're well into october hoping we of already seen the worst of fire season. but unfortunately these continue these conditions continue to cause these great this great fire danger and that is why that red flag warning has been put into place we caught up with the santa

>>a reality for folks, especially in san mateo county where kron 4 sarah stinson. >>is standing by sarah. >>you know we keep talking about dry fuel and this is what we're talking about it is extremely dry. it's crinkly when you walk on it and look it's behind me right here in san mateo county and really all across the bay area it's this combined with those high winds and if one spark hits it. it ignites a wildfire and that is the biggest concern right now take a look at this map. so you can see across the bay area all in red that is the area those are the areas that are involved in this red flag warning and that is including san mateo county where i'm at as well as the north bay mountains east bay hills and interior valleys as well as the santa cruz mountains in san mateo county coast. we have more winds had in the forecast up in the mountains and ridges of up to 10 to 25 miles per hour gusts up to 40 miles per hour valleys could see gusts up to 35 miles per hour and the coast could see gusts up to 40 that combined with those dry just talking about cars potential f

coming down in this direction look at the air quality i just want to piggyback on what sarah stinson was talking about it is awful here there's thick blanket of smoke probably the worst day that we have seen in the 5 days that you only 7 is and i have been here fire trucks are crisscrossing this area fortunately we are not seeing flames down at the level the street level of calistoga and santa lena. >>yes, it's still burning but we're talking about remote areas and in time to time, it's burning homes just like this one where firefighters had to attack the home in the overnight hours they try their very best to make sure good story, you know at this point it's fighting fires on 2 fronts one to put the fire out at that location to knock it down as quickly as they possibly can so the embers don't leave that particular location and start more fires we are kind of monitor the situation and let you know what's going on but bottom line is it is just awful breathing at this location this morning back to you right, thank you very much well. >>a 22 is the time right now and when we come back w
