Left being problematic. Its only 15 contained the one on the right. The park fire is 70 contained. So we do want to start with the one that is more out of control this morning. Yeah of activation orders again as mentioned lifted at morgan hill says not to worry about that its the ones that remain in place for the gilroy area thats where kron fours will tran is standing by with the latest will. James you might have seen a cal fire truck race right behind me theyre crisscrossing this area keeping a close eye on the situation. They me tell you it is not windy and im thankful for that because the fire continues to burn and look at the hillside it is so dry. But the one right behind me just went up in flames. They knew this area would be a problematic area which is why they evacuated people. Yesterday along this area, this is canyon out a road. That home often the distance right there its empty we never saw any lights turn on because they were told to leave this area in fact the media we were allowed to drive through barricades just to give you this Vantage Point youve been watching it as much as i have from this location that smoky air it has died down considerably thank goodness because for a while you could not even see the terrain next one hill taller than the other. Now you can clearly make out the texture. This hillside here let me show you some video that we got however, when we arrived here at around 4. 50 in the morning and you could see at that particular time this section of the hillside was up in flames, the Fire Fighters they kept close eye on the situation. They knocked it down as best as they could hoping that it would not spread to a nearby hill size and into a problem to gilroy to the outlets area which by the way is only a few miles from this location. And of course where the residential areas are this is a little bit more of a remote area and the key word is remote which is why they had to do this james and area yesterday. They instantly took to the air because this area is hard to drive through its not like santa rosa, where you can drive through the neighborhood and plug in your hose at the fire hydrant no they had to use air drops to knock down the flames. Fortunately they did that but i got to tell you 2 structures caught on fire destroyed in fact, lets listen to one person described the fire. I could see the big thick black smoke and the huge flames, the flames where the house was burning were over the trees you could see it above the trees and the line the fire line was real big. Right now they do not know the cause of the fire and generally they dont focus on that unless its so apparent but they will know the cause of the fire for quite some time as far as containment we are hearing that he could take several days before we get containment right now we do know they cal fire at any moment should have an update. Covering up wildfires throughout the years right around 7 oclock in the morning is and we have an update but as we speak right now 1500 acres burned 15 containment hopefully with these conditions where its not windy. James and area that will get the containment percentage up back to you ok, thanks a lot for the update will. Well meantime lets give you a quick update on that morgan hill fire where firefighters do have the upper hand now which is good news. Officials are looking now to see if that fire was perhaps started by fireworks, neighbors say they do in fact remember hearing fireworks going off before they smelled the smoke. About 10 oclock last night we heard some fireworks going off and after them. Maybe half an hour after that we heard. Sirens going down it just kept going off no one you know for a lot to me as people were trying to celebrate in. Unfortunately things bad things happen when youre doing a dry area like and there you can see up on the hill there. And you can still see some smoldering going on up on the hill. Well easton road at morgan hill is still closed except for local traffic. And in the east bay, some neighbors and hey were not only have to deal with illegal fireworks but also with sideshows take a listen.

If youre saying the fireworks in the sideshows went on until about 2 in the morning. And look at this mess left behind in antioch from people shooting off fireworks trash and all kinds of fireworks debris in a parking lot at lone tree elementary school.

With all the fireworks there were more than 67 fires that broke out in Contra Costa County alone over the weekend and more than a dozen we know were caused by illegal fireworks so far one of those fires threaten more than 20 homes in pittsburgh. Kron fours taylor, the sacking has that story. Last night it was in my experience of 15 years by far the lows. The most extreme use of illegal fireworks under stage.

Think its too early to tell. Well have to see how this unfolds in florida and elsewhere around the country. In washington, im whitney wild. President trump is heading to New Hampshire next weekend to hold a rally and in portsmouth at the airport on saturday. Organizers say they will be handing out masks but they wont be required to wear that need. Its a little bit of a change from the president s previous events last friday may remember no social distancing was enforced at all at the fireworks event at Mount Rushmore attendees were required to wear a face mask, not even given them. The republican governor of arkansas had some things to say about that he said the folks there at the rally really should have worn masks. They should have been face coverings they should have followed guidelines there. You know i know that its a controlled environment, so its really more about setting an example but i know how important this was the governor now shes been asking that the president about this months ago. This is not something that was set up at the last minute it was planned. And it was a controlled environment. The governor of arkansas says that if the president were to hold a rally in his state people would be required to wear masks and practice, social distancing President Trump is downplaying the severity of the pandemic during the july 4th event that he hosted. In washington dc. He said that 99 of the cases are totally harmless which goes against the facts. The facts show that 4. 6 of americans infected have died of covid and many many more have gotten seriously ill and hospitalized. The commissioner of the fda address the matter yesterday. But didnt go us as far as saying the president was wrong. So so we know that cases are surging in the country weve all seen the grass associated with that. And its just too early and im not going to speculate on what the causation is there what i can tell you is the way out of this dan a the way out of this for all americans is to follow the cdc in the White House Task force guidelines, social distance wear a mask if you find yourself in a situation we can social distance. Good hand hygiene all the things that i would tell my patients and if youre near someone who is vulnerable and you think youve been exposed. Please take care and avoid exposing that person hes vulnerable. The cdc estimates 35 of coronavirus cases are asymptomatic but of course we know that those people can still spread the virus and thats what theyre most concerned about now is stopping the spread.

In Fremont Police are investigating graffiti found on a church as a hate crime. It was at the Mission San Jose saturday morning that somebody spray painted the words native land and you splatters of red paint to simulate blood. The Fremont Police Department Says it doesnt tolerate hate and well ask the Alameda County da to fully prosecute whoever did it. Protesters in sacramento, tore down a statue of missionary who knit peril sarah because of his treatment of native americans before toppling the statue demonstrators lit fires and spray painted the statue. The paris air is best known in the state for starting the Mission System in the 1700s to spread catholicism but he did so by forcing native americans to join the missions and perform manual labor as well as introducing foreign diseases that wiped out entire tribes like with confederate statues some people see this as an assault on their heritage and faith. The statue of Frederick Douglass in rochester, new york was vandalized and tore down from its base it happened on the anniversary of douglas a speech called what to the slaves is the 4th of july police are still looking for answers about why exactly it was collins has the details.

The act of vandalism comes on the 100 68th anniversary of douglas a speech titled what to the slave is the 4th of july. What is what comes from this what good is this is this some kind of retaliation because the national fervor over confederate monuments right now. A very disappointing its its beyond before the statue was one of 13 place throughout the city in 2018 and this is the second monument to be vandalized Julias Jackson junior was there for the first incident which involved drunk College Students in hes hoping this recent act is also one of an targeted mischief that weve been on this road before. Im actually spoke to the vandals the first one i would like to believe its not that that its just you know some kids but again it wouldnt surprise me if this monument will still stand because the ideas behind it are bigger than the mind. And that Chuck Collins reporting the creators behind the statue hope to get another replacement into the park soon.
