Now at 11, the glass fire creeping dangerously close to calistoga. We are on the front lines as crews try to keep the flames from reaching town. Last time it was really close to the house. We still have a lot of trees, so we are worried. Im tracking high fire danger, record height temperatures and a continuation of poor air quality in thursdays forecast. New rules are on the way to prevent a repeat of last nights debate debacle. Good evening, now at 11 and streaming on cbsn bay area, the glass fire ranging dangerously close to calistoga and now shifting winds are raising the threat of new fires and bringing suffocating smoke back to the bay area. Andrea nakano is in calistoga tonight with the effort to keep the flames at bay. Reporter air resources and ground crews attacked this fire north of calistoga all day, and they did a really good job. But as you can see behind me there is still an intense fire burning on a hillside. And the problem is, calistoga is surrounded by flames. Air tankers made drop after drop as the fire raced up the hillside, just up the highway 29 a dc10 and a 747 were part of the aerotech to protect homes in the Jericho Canyon area. This is aerial video taken by cal fire looking down on the palisades Mountain Ridge below. The fire coming dangerously close to homes tucked away in the mountains. It is a scary, weve got a lot of people that live around here, so its scary. Yes, we are scared. Tactical patrols will be in this area tonight. They dont have enough resources to stage an engine at each home but crews will be assigned to patrol certain areas. They are concerned about the wind and so are the residents. That worries me a little bit because you never know, with the wind, you know. Less time that fire got very close to the house. We still have a lot of trees. So we are worried. Calistoga is that the only concern, there is a big orange glow above summit lake road and hotspots can also be found on the western hillside of napa valley. And while those in the city of calistoga and surrounding areas remain evacuated until the fire danger passes. Its a nightmare they seem to relive now year after year. We are worried, how many times, you know. Fire, evacuate, it is scary, kind of scary. Weve been out on this fire all week and we havent seen the number of firefighters youd expect to see on the fire of this size. That is until tonight, crews are everywhere waiting to see how the wind will push this fire. Stronger winds are expected tomorrow, they will send more smoke into the bay area and increased the chances for new fire. Chief meteorologist paul heggen joint is now to break it down. We will start by talking about the conditions in the immediate vicinity of the classifier complex. The winds will shift as we head through tonight and into tomorrow, and they will pick up. Not only will we seek austere winds up to 30 miles an hour, but a new direction out of the west and northwest. Its been out of the south and southwest for the past few days. So it will push the fire in a new direction and it will bring in the potential to consume fire fields that have not been consumed at this point. The red flag warning includes all the high terrain of the north bay through tomorrow afternoon, and the heat will affect the entire bay area. Even around the bay itself, only coastal regions are excluded from this. We are talking about inland temperatures topping at or above 100 degrees tomorrow. So take it easy, and its still going to be hot on friday. Plus we have the smoke to worry about. I will track that and take a look at cooler temperatures down the line. Californias power grid managers are expecting a flex alert tomorrow. They are asking everyone to conserve energy tomorrow between 3 pm and 10 pm. The goal is to avoid rolling blackouts during the extreme heat. After a night marked by dozens of interruptions and sharp personal remarks from both candidates, the commission on residential debates is changing the rules. Dont ever use the word smart with me.

Over the last decade homicides in oakland have dropped significantly, there was an increase last year with a total of 75 but this year there have already been 74 with three months to go. Oakland police say there are a number of factors in the uptake and covid19 is a major one. The dramatic impact violence is having on our community is sort of a double whammy. The interim please chief says the same communities that are experiencing the shootings are also where the front line workers live. Stay inside, because when they come out they get overanxious. The chief says some present inmates were released early because of covid19 and they are back in the neighborhood without the appropriate resources to help them settle. Also, gang rivalries. Weve seen in uptake on the ongoing feud between groups and gangs of territory. Police are also working with federal agencies to try to reduce the violence. New video out of fremont where a Community Came together to mourn the tragic death of a beloved activist. Neighbors gathered outside the home of feda almaliti.

Too many of those victims are also hit with a sudden tax hike after their forced to move. Its wrong. Prop 19 limits taxes on wildfire victims and limits taxes on seniors and severely disabled homeowners. Join firefighters and Emergency Responders in voting yes on 19. It is one of the oldest forms of Affordable Housing in San Francisco. Single room occupancy hotels. Now the very people who fought to preserve this housing are calling it dangerous. Tonight in an original series project home Susie Steimle has a look at why sros for low income families could soon be phased out. For the families with children, it is hard for the kids. Reporter young has lived in this building for five years with her 65yearold mother, her husband and her sixyear old son did when she moved here from china she had grand ideas about what the United States would look like. But now the Living Environment was better. In china she at least had her own bathroom sank in small kitchen. In this building she has to share all of those things with 30 of her neighbors during a pandemic. I want to move out of sro to have a bigger space and enough space for us. Young is one of 30,000 san franciscans living in an sro, single occupancy hotel. Her building is at the end of this block but hers is not one of those windows or rooms you can see from the outside, its in the middle with no natural light, no windows and no sync. And typical of most sros, it is a 10 by 10 foot space. This is what she shares with her family of four and during covid it feels even work crowded. It is a very small room, the four of us, we have a bunk bed, my mom sleeps on the upper bunk, i sleep on the lower bunk with my son and my husband needs to sleep on the floor. Sros are rarely ever used for that single room intended purpose. It is known to disregard fire codes and jam Multigenerational Families into a tiny space. As many as nine people are sharing one 10 by 10 room. For decades sros have been defended by Affordable Housing advocates but the pandemic has changed his mind. I think that covid really accelerated that and made us realize that places where folks have to share bathrooms and Kitchen Facilities really have some inherent problems that make them dangerous. In an epidemic we had multiple people tell us that they were going to the bathroom inside the room if they had a sync, which not many families do. 27 of San Franciscos sro buildings have had positive cases of covid19s. 48 of the families have had their income dropped to zero. Both my mom and my husband are unemployed now. Young is now the breadwinner for the family and she works for the Chinese Progressive Association helps essential workers who also live in sros. Nurses and first responders, when they come home they stay in the guest bedroom or shower before they even get into the house. Those are things that are just not possible in sro hotels. Young has repeatedly applied for other Affordable Housing options that would give her family more space but every single time she is turned down. Its the same story for her mother. How many times have you applied . Five. 95 of families in sros fall into a very specific app. They dont make enough money to qualify for Affordable Housing and the rundown is supportive housing, but that reserved for people who are homeless or in a shelter. So the longer they stay in this sro, the more difficult it will be to get out. But its time for the city to start thinking about where these 30,000 people can go. I think the consensus is that its not enough, its not okay, and we are starting to be pressed by time. The sro was built back in 1912 and its likely nearing the end of its useful life and the next up is probably that it needs to be torn down. And if these are torn down, where will they house 30,000 people, where will they live . Exactly, in a housing crisis that is the very big and very expensive question that we dont know the answer to. Thats why this is such a big deal, to remind you, these are the people who fought for this housing, because its supposed to be housing of last resort but its becoming a permanent option and they say we just cant keep doing this, its not safe. We have to talk about other options but the big question is, what are those options . Keep sending your stories and ideas to project home at cbs. Com. Two Major Airlines announced that they will furlough more than 32,000 employees beginning tomorrow. The news comes after talks for a Coronavirus Relief package failed in washington today. American Airlines Says that 19,000 of its workers will be without a job or that amounts to close to 14 of the texas based airlines prepandemic staff. United Airlines Says it will cut 13,000 jobs. The majority of them are flight attendants. Take a live look at sfo today, so far, we dont know how many Airline Workers will be impacted at the airport. Starting tomorrow Contra Costa County will be giving free flu shots to people who get tested for coronavirus.

And San Francisco people got to eat inside a restaurant for the first time today since the start of the pandemic. The city has now moved to the orange deer on the states watchlist. Places of worship could also reopen indoors with limited capacity. More than 100 earthquakes have rattled when California City near the Mexican Border just tonight heard 100 for earthquakes to be exact. The tremors started around 4 00, all centered near the salton sea and westmoreland. The largest was a magnitude 4. 9. It was felt in parts of san diego county. Here it is smoke and hot weather and that combination keeps hanging around. We talked about the red flag warning and the heat advisory in our first segment, now we want to focus on the air quality and track the smoke thats not just blowing off the glass complex fire, but also the creek fires, and the fires in northern california. Lets show you how this will evolve for the past couple of days we had the onshore winds pushing the smoke inland, those have weakened today and a couple miles off the ground, theyve been shifting around. Those winds shift more to the east tomorrow and that will direct to some of the smoke from the creek fire into the bay area as well. So you see that smoke concentration toward the top of the scale for thursday, i think this will be the worst air quality we will experience. It wont get a lot better on friday but the onshore winds will start to kick in and bring a little bit of relief to the coast, maybe around the bay by late friday. Still poor air quality for the east bay and probably the Santa Clara Valley as we had through the entire day on friday. Things will continue to head into a better direction as we head into the weekend. With strong onshore winds pushing the smoke farther away. Still poor air quality directly downwind of the glass fire complex, especially if that fire grows further tomorrow with those dangerous fire weather conditions. So poor air quality for the entire bay area and again on friday very then conditions begin to improve by saturday and sunday. It was hot inland today, still 77 in concord, 66 in the city, 62 in santa rosa and temperatures will not back off a whole lot more for the rest of the night heard low to mid 60s by tomorrow morning with temperatures above degrees by 10 degrees above average start today. 90 degrees in the city, 90s and low 100s inland. Upper 90s and the 100s n. Bay and for the senate clara valley and low 100s for the drive valley. 106 and 107 for any act, brentwood and fairfield. Also breaking a record High Temperature in concord. Friday will be hot just not as hot, and then we start to creak the heatwave over the weekend, back to near average temperatures as we hit the first week of october. We will keep you updated.

Chris bassitt was in jeopardy of giving some of that that, but mark canha at the wall, really and catch. Now the bottom of the fourth the khris davis only had two home runs all year, he goes deep, 50 oakland, and looking good.
