I hope to get more information for you and to be able to bring that back to you later in the show. Reporting live out here in dublin, Lesley Brinkley, abc7 news. Thank you. We will check back with you. Numerous abc7 viewers provided video of this afternoons grass fire. It put up smoke visible for miles. It spread quickly which is why homeowners were told to be ready to evacuate. This video shows how close it came to houses even from across the freeway. It put up a thick white cloud of smoke. This picture was taken everybody quiet a distance from the fire, giving you an idea of just how big it got in a short amount of time. Let us quickly go to Spencer Christian with a look at conditions in the area in particular of the wind. Wind is the main concern. In terms of weather conditions. Only 79 degrees in dublin right now. Its not hot, not very dry either. Humidity 50 . Steady wind out of the southwest at nine Miles Per Hour with gusts to 16 Miles Per Hour. There may have been occasions when the gusts were stronger. These are our current conditions. Except for the occasional gusts conditions are favorable for containment. If anything changes ill give you an update. Now we want to get to that News Conference happening on that firearea. Response with cal fire. Cal fire had a first alarm response, as well along with our first alarm. Thereafter, we called a second wild land response and quickly escalated to a third alarm. We had winds blowing from the west. There was immediate threat. We contained the fire just east of the structures for this portion of the ze of dublin right now over to Doolan Canyon ad held it at the road there. E uilyalated 240 acres. Tt we had the full containment within an hour of the original fairly cloo the structures. However the wind was blowing it away from the structures. We sent a full alarm to the structures and made sure that protecting those houses and giving those residents reassurance that we had units in place to protect all those homes in the furthest part of the city of dublin. The fire currently is under investigation with the Alameda County fire department, with assistance from cal fire. And we will have units here late into the evening and periodically checks. Is there any more response . Aerial response, a full response from cal fire with air tankers and also helicopters and from cal fire and also the assistance from the east Bay Regional Parks helicopter. When we escalated to a local third alarm from our local a co re, a escalated within fire, livermore plea fremont and east Bay Regional Parks assisted us with the fire smoke was pretty heavy at one point, right . Yeah, that did hinder us with responses from units but the smoke was the pretty much lifted straight up and it was blowing eastward. It didnt impact on the traffic but it did create a lot of folks looking and watching the smoke versus paying attention to their driving into talk about how dangerous. We are all geared up, were just starting to get into the peak fire season. I know everybodys on edge. A couple of fires in contra costa fire this week, now this. Its always as it gets advertised in the news and with all the fires recently and as we continue to build homes into the ce wet confirmation of a ging c working fire from multiple calls and or the first unit, we escalate Additional Units immediately. And again, we were listening in to a live News Conference happening on a grass fire burning near dublin. It is at full containment now. Close to ten hours later, firefighters are still on the scene of a massive warehouse fire in oakland. The flames are all out. Now crews turned their focus to figuring what led to the blaze. It destroy the warehouse at 23r avenue in the fruitdale district. It housed an artist work space. Eric thomas is live in oakland. Ama, the good news is it destroy the moxie artist collective and warehouse. You can see occasionally wisps of smoke coming out of windows there. There are still firefighters trying to put out hot spots as you mentioned. This may look like an Industrial Area but in reality, it is mixed industrial and residential. And that was a complication for firefighters. At its height the flames were eating through the moxie artist collective so fast neighbors could see it and feel it. Flames were shooting up high. The building was so red and sitting on my porch, i could feel the heat on my face. It was a very hot fire. Reporter her husband richard is superintendent of the building and they live 20 yards away. He did not talk on camera but cindy says he got a phone call just after 6 00 this morning telling him the building was on fire. My husband runs across the street and around to the front of the building. No shoes on. He runs in there and hollers for everybody to get out because its on fire. James philips works in a cold storage business across the street and made the first call to 911. We smelled something that was burning and looked out the door and immediately saw the fire through the windows in the building. The early notice insured that the half dozen people inside escaped without injury. Micah was one and says he couldnt help but think of ghost ship while evacuating. Trauma from that is you know, hits strikes a chord with us here. Reporter unlike ghost ship, no one lived inside this warehouse. Instead, more than 30 businesses operated, seven lost. It could have been worse. Some of the propane and welding tanks inside did not explode. No fatalities, no one was living here. A very clean, well maintained work space where artists create beautiful artwork. Unfortunately, that was lost. The businesses ranged from metal working to cabinet making. Thats why there were some of the an see the lean torch materials and things like that can that did not explode. There were also very expensive pieces of equipment. A brandnew router that cost 80,000 was destroyed in this fire today. Once again, firefighters looking for the exact cause, official cause but they say at this point, it appears to be accidental.

President trump thinks he can bring republicans and the nra to supporting stronger federal background check laws. Democrats are skeptical there will be new action on guns. Heres trevor alt. After two more Mass Shootings left 31 dead, there are signs republicans may be ready to take some action on gun control. I think we can have some really meaningful background checks.

Two bills expanding background checks were passed with bipartisan support by the house in february but held up by the senate.

Background checks and red flags would probably lead the discussion. Those are two items for sure will be front and center. Reporter the nra is warning Republicans Expanding background checks would not be popular with members but President Trump says hes not worried about the gun lobby. I have a lot of respect for the people at the nra and i have already spoken to them on numerous us occasions. This isnt a question of nra, republican or democrat.

And this week, Time Magazine released its new cover with the word enough and the names of all the cities involved in Mass Shootings this year and the artist behind that cover is from here in the bay area. John mavroudis. Tell me about the latest work. Its so sad that you have enough cities here to fill up a whole cover. Yeah. So i got a call over the weekend i had been working on ideas because i was just kind of psychologically recovering from the gilroy situation when all of a sudden dayton and el paso happened. I spent the weekend basically working on ideas. I sent them off to time fashion and on sunday, they got back to me and said, lets talk on monday. They didnt go with my ideas but they wanted to use kind of the style that i use a lot which is the type graphic portraits that you see and they wanted to sort of fill in. They were key on having the word enough there to reflect something theyve used in a previous type cover with the parkland students. And so i went back to that cover and used the same typography basically as negative space, put the major pieces in and kind of filled in around and that took the better part of two and a half days. Did it surprise you at all you had so many cities to put on the page. Yeah. At first, i thought the it might be like just the big events over the last five or ten years. But when they said it was just going to be 2019, i envisioned something reasonable. Then they send me the list and i see approximately 250. It became 253 at the end and its kind of stunning. Im going through at first trying to fill everything in in different areas. And then you have to take a step back and pause because like i hit san jose, im a san jose kid. And you step back and realize you siva lay ho, richmond, oakland, you see San Francisco. You see cities that are in red states, cities in blue states. You see major cities, small cities and filled it completely and you realize behind every name is a story and people and friends and family who are all affected. I think in a lot of ways this was hopefully a message to put everything together and show the totality of how bad it is. So you could take a look and see the cover and see some of the big names but then the inclination is to kind of look for your town or your city and see where it is. Are you doing this by hand or software program. Yeah, i use an ipad and i use an apple pencil and i hand draw in all the names using that. So its a lot of working around it, drawing in, taking out, seeing what fits where best. I described the process kind of like a jigsaw puzzle talking about the Christine Blasey ford cover. This is sort of the same thing. Youre trying to fit things together so they have a look youre pleases with at the end that tells a story. You came in right after christine bylachris blasey forward that situation became headline news. What feedback did you get from that when everybody saw is on time. You mean this time. No. It was remarkable. I wasnt ready for it. The people at time are aware how big of an impact their covers have. I thought i knew what viral was but my twitter mentions went from 40 to 4,000 in a day. I got like the same impact here if not even more on this one. It touches a lot of people. The hope would be that art can send a message. Right. Yeah, because we have an event, were traumatized by it. We try to cope. We another event happens about some other news cycle and we kind of grow numb to it. This is a way to compile all of it and really grasp at the enormity of whats happening in this country. Hopefully, something will be done via our leads people who claim to be our leaders that have done nothing about this problem for so long. Thanks for coming in again. I hope you never have the opportunity or the need to put together another cover like this. Thanks again for your time. I hope so, too. John mavroudis.
