Reporter this fire was reported around 5 20 this morning by someone in berkeley who spotted the smoke up here in the berkeley hills, in the Oakland Hills, i should say. Even though the flames are out, hot embers can linger for a long time. Firefighters are here because if those embers flare, they want eyes on them to put them out as soon as possible. You cant go anywhere in the Oakland Hills without a reminder of the obvious. Fire danger is high. We traveled with firefighters to the scene of the latest fire, less than an acre of scorched wilderness near tildon park. Lunch on site meant firefighters were in for a long day, keeping an eye out and hoses ready for any flareups. We had a lot of coordinating units respond to this incident. Reporter battalion chief eric logan says thats because this area is whats called a mutual threat zone. The positioning of the fire, the weather, low humidity, a little bit of wind, the history of the area, any fire. Its a large threat. Reporter the concern about this fire is not the size. Its the location. The Oakland Hills. The people here have a memory for what fire can do. The 1991 Oakland Hills fire killed 25 people and caused an estimated 1. 5 billion damage. Thousands of homes and apartments were lost. I think were in for one heck of a fire season. Reporter we found this Oakland Hills homeowner taking pictures at the scene of the latest fire. Hes written about fire representation and made it his mission to encourage homeowners to prepare. Its not a miracle when a home survives. You see pictures of these miracle homes. Its because they paid attention to details and what they did made a difference. Reporter temperatures are high. Humidity is low. And the fuel is dry. In the past few weeks, weve seen what that combination can do in both napa and lake counties, with several fires burning, land and homes. But you dont need to see flames to know its fire season. All you have to do is look at the haze masking that city view. Its from the fires burning well to our north, not a fire here. We have had patrols out also, just to help the citizens, you know, feel more at ease that were on top of our jobs and were paying attention to whats going on. Reporter its a message for everyone to be alert and be careful. Most fires are preventible. The battalion chief told me they dont think this fire is suspicious. Its in an area where there are a lot of wood chips and it could have been spontaneous combustion. Noelle walker, ktvu fox 2news. Air quality officials issued another spare the air alert for tomorrow because of heat and continued smoky skies. We want to give you a live look outside on this second day of haze. Take a look. A result of shifting winds, as noelle mentioned, pushing smoke from fires up north down here to the bay area. Ktvu meteorologist mark tamayo is here with a look at those conditions. It is just incredible to look out there and see all of that haze. Thats right, heather. Its basically a lid over the bay area. As a result, all the pollutants get trapped. Theres very little mixing and just that haze lingers across the region. Of course that lid is being supported by some very hot temperatures. We all know that. Take a look at these temperatures from this afternoon. San francisco maxed out at 90 degrees, a string of triple digits for redwood city, morgan hill. Look at livermore and antioch, 106 degrees. I saw temperatures there this morning during the 9 00 hour, already in the 80s. Good launching pad. Concord, 105 degrees. Lots of 100s towards vallejo, san rafael, even San Francisco downtown checking in at 90 degrees. So a lot of records to report. We have two pages to show you coming up. Kentfield, 101 degrees. San rafael, the record as well. Napa, 104. San francisco, 90. That was a record, sfo, oakland downtown. 92 degrees. Page 2 of records. You can see rocked airport, 93. 94. Mountain view in the upper 90s. Gilroy, one of the hottest locations tonight at 107 degrees. Now, in terms of the haze out there, heres a snapshot, two comparisons. You can see yesterday from our transamerica building, all that haze, especially from the smoke from the wildfires to our north, today a little bit of improvement, as you can see here. Still, a lot of haze out there. Basically very little mixing. So you heard about the spare the air alert in place for tomorrow, as we head into your monday forecast, a layer of warm and hot air basically trapping all the haze and smoke across the region. Take a look at the levels. The air quality scale, you want to keep it in a Perfect World at zero in the green range. Numbers have been creeping up and were approaching the yellow and orange range for tomorrow. Another day of poor air quality across the bay area. Some parts will begin to cool off in your monday forecast. Well take a look at updated numbers, coming up in a few minutes. Dozens of drivers took over an oakland intersection in a large side show last night. Cars and spectators were seen on high street and interstate 880. The Highway Patrol says after the side show, a car driven by a 19yearold san leandro resident fled from police and then intentionally rammed his car into a chp patrol car. The driver and three passengers were eventually arrested. Also in oakland, two homicide investigations are under way, this after a 15year old boy was among two people shot and killed. Police say the teenager was killed just before 2 00 this morning on foot hill boulevard near santa anita park. Investigators say he was walking with friends when someone in a vehicle drove by and began shooting. About 15 minutes before that shooting, a 32yearold man was gunned down on broadway near 15th street in downtown. He died at the scene. Another shooting early this morning critically wounded a woman inside a parked car on international boulevard. Police havent released the names of any of those victims and tell us so far they have made no arrests. A multivehicle crash snarled traffic on an east bay freeway this afternoon. The crash happened in richmond just after 3 30 this afternoon on eastbound interstate 580 near Central Avenue exit, not far from the east shore state park. As you can see, several vehicles were involved, including a big rig. Theres no word on injuries, but right there you can see a medical helicopter flying to the scene. Police today suspended a manhunt in a sunnyvale neighborhood, after an officer involved shooting there yesterday. Officers shot and killed the suspect yesterday afternoon. After a report of suspicious activity outside of a motel 6. Investigators havent revealed many details of the incident or what prompted officers to open fire. A second armed suspect, though, ran off and officers spent much of the night looking for him. Police tell ktvu they do not believe the suspect is in that area. They plan to release more information at a News Conference tomorrow morning. The water is finally back on for thousands of people in vallejo. Crews finished temporary repairs about 9 00 this morning on a huge water main break after finding this 10footlong crack in a pipe yesterday morning. Utility Officials Say the water may still be a little bit murky or taste funny, but Officials Say that is normal and the water is safe to drink. During the water outage, there was very little water pressure, so firefighters brought in water trucks from surrounding agencies. Julian bond, the fierce civil rights activist and lawmaker who president obama called both a hero and a friend died last night, after a brief illness. He was 75. As a student at morehouse college, bond helped found student nonviolence coordinating committee, a 1960 civil rights organization. He was also the first president of the southern poverty law center, served for two decades in the georgia legislature, and was a former chairman of the naacp. In the only did bond advocate for african americans, but in his later years, he championed samesex marriage rise. Two years ago, bond talked with his grandchildren about the responsibility everyone has in the fight for justice. You have to ask yourself, what can i do . What is it i can do to push the needle forward . What can i do to improve freedom in our country . I think you have to say im going to do something. I may not know what it is right now, but im going to do something to make freedom expand. Bonds wife remembered her husband today. The man with a great sense of humor and joked about himself, that his tombstone would read race man and on the other side, easily amused. And president obama said that he benefited from bonds example, adding in a statement that, quote, julian bond helped change this country for the better and what better way to be remembered than that. President ial hopefuls on both sides of the political aisle were getting their messages out on the sunday morning talk shows. This as a new poll shows donald trump remaining in the lead for the republicans and Bernie Sanders picking up more support on the democratic side. Kristen fisher has more from washington. Reporter one thing getting a lot of attention today is a new fox news poll out just this morning, the first since the republican debate. So this is our first real glimpse into how republican primary voters think the candidates did. Well, the majority thought donald trump had the worst performance at the debate, but look at this, still leading in the poll and by a lot. His closest competitor, ben carson, is 13 points behind him. The second place spot was previously held by jeb bush, but hes really dropped, down 6 points since the debate. Scott walker is also down. Ben carson talked about why he believes he got a big bump today, on fox news sunday. I think people are recognizing the same old thing is going to take us to the same old place. Were sort of at a precipice. Are we going to continue down this road which is leading to a very bad place . Or are we going to try to make a change . Reporter this poll also shows action on the democratic side. For the first time, Hillary Clinton has dropped below 50 and Bernie Sanders just keeps on climbing. Hes been drawing huge crowds. Today, he said those numbers would carry over on election day. One of the real advantages i think of me winning the democratic primary is that we can get a lot of young people, a lot of working people involved in the political process, getting them out to vote in a way that establishment politicians cant. Reporter Hillary Clinton still has a huge lead, 19 points. But compare that to one month ago when she had a 40point lead. Its certainly a troubling trend for the clinton camp, especially with Vice President joe biden rumored to be considering a run as well.
