There is a looks like they are getting a handle on it. There is a big difference between this fire and the fire up north. This is burning along the ground. It is a big fire. Doubled in size in the last hour. Winds in the area right now are blowing. Good 25, gusting to 30. You can see that. Look that smoke. That is a ridge line. Dropping behind that. Burning back into the fire. But if you looked at this fire, maybe 45 minutes ago, aggressive looking. Bigger. Firefighters are working the ridge lines. Making dumps on the ridge line. Looking at this, it is a big difference from where it was recently. This fire, i mean, they have a long way to go. The winds will pick up. Winds 10, 15, these arent devastating fire conditions. We had the really hot days, couple days ago. Right . Things dried out and then you have the four year drought. Takes nothing to get a fire like this going. So this fire in the wild brush, burning very fast. Burning itself out quickly as well. That is what it appears right now. Fire conditions not horrible. Not looking at red flag warnings. Firefighters looks like they have a good shot at this. The winds could kick up tonight. How bad would the winds be and what kind of impact might that have [ talking at the same time ] that is why they put the wind mills out there. East of livermore. The winds are blowing 30 Miles Per Hour. Just to the north of this fire. As the evening wears on, the fire zone, the winds are going to get blowing. Blowing 25, 30, 35.

Back to the decision by the Oakland Police department to show members of the media body camera video of two incidents where suspects died. The first was a Police Shooting last week. The second was a case where a man was found wedged in a tiny space between two walls. Ktvus Cristina Rendon was one of the few reporters who saw the video and she is here now. I know you will walk us through what you saw, why did police just show this to reporters . Reporter the public does have a right to know what happened but they dont want to jeopardize the investigation but they plan on releasing videos when the cases are closed. There was restrictions for us today. Our photographers were not allowed to record video once they started playing it for us. Reporter in a room full of Reporters Police allowed us to see body camera video of two incidents. Last week nate wilks was shot and killed by officers. The video was shaky because the officer was chasing after nate wilks. Police told him several times drop the gun. He ran towards the officer with a gun in his hand. He is not pointing at one officer in particular but he pointed in their direction. The officers opened fire. The short answer is, if somebody is pointing at you,. [ indiscernible ] all it takes is a squeeze of the trigger from whatever position and that is deadly. They watched the video on tuesday reporter they watched the video on tuesday. The family of Richard Linyard chose not to watch the video. In that video Richard Linyard was pulled over for a traffic stop. Officers question him. He ran across the street and over a fence. Over the next 20 Minutes Police have no footage. The next video was from a officer searching for him. The officers told him to raise his hands till they realized he is unresponsive. He becomes visible when officers pull him from the space and he appears lifeless. Officers performed cpr. No signs of force and his cause of death is unknown. Again police say they revealed the video to clear up misinformation. We are trying to walk that fine line. As time goes on it will get smoother. We are trying to do the right thing. The chief added officers dont have the luxury of slowing down real time when making use of force decisions. Going back to the video of nate wilks. The man who was shot and killed last week. When he was running and turned around, did he turn around fast, slow, okay, you got me, i am going to give up . Reporter i would say he was running away fast. He stops. It looks like he tripped. He goes to the ground and stands up and runs back at the officer who was wearing the body camera. It was fast. Especially when it was played out in real time. It was shaky. When you slow it down he did turn around in a quick manner. When he was coming towards the officer and pointing his gun, did he have his gun out like this or was it up . Reporter well, when he was turning towards the officer he is running. He has the gun in his hand. That gun is waving in different directions. What they call masking. It was in the direction, general direction of the two officers that were next to him and the officer in front of him. It put the officers in danger and that is why the chief says the officers decide to open fire. Any way to estimate the distance . Reporter we asked that question, they said there is no set distance. If you think about it, when he was running away, he comes back at the officer, that difference is ever changing. I would say maybe 2, 3 feet. Very interesting. And interesting move by the Oakland Police department. Hope they release it to the public. Thank you. New at 5 00 p. M.
