Thought to homes were burned and they say it was only one. They are starting to ramp up a little bit. They say the fire is under control and one firefighter was injured because of the heat. We want to show you some video of the fire that started about 12 30 hills of san jose. Police chopper 2 was overhead. Firefighters say that home burned along with some vegetation. The power went out and shortly after that he went outside and saw the hillside behind his home on fire. Firefighters say there were reports of downed lines and their reporting those right now. About 60 firefighters responded and were able to control the fire. Firefighters say they were lucky they got it under control before the afternoon wind picked up. They have this morning. It has been a hot and dry fire season. We have had several large fires around the city and we have not had the ones happen in san jose justice. They are coming. Reporter one man who lived next door said he was homesick and was able to evacuate his oneyearold daughter, his mother and his dog safely. Several neighbors tell us the home belonged to an elderly woman who has a caretaker, but she did not appear to be home at the time. I went to see if i can show you it is up in the distance the home that burned up the hillside and one of the things we found out from firefighters they were able to save, they havent told us the extent of the damage. There are these red seats. These are two seats from candlestick park. Firefighters they were among the things they were able to save. That firefighter was treated for a heat related illness at the scene and firefighters expect to be here for a couple of hours to make sure things dont flareup. It is hot, they are Drinking Water and asked for extra firefighters just in case. You have to take the precautions. Live for us. Thank you. Lets turn things over to our meteorologist for an update on the temperatures and expecting more records today . And i expect we will see some by the afternoon. We will wait on the National Weather service to confirm that. Just as hot as yesterday the heat advisory away from the coastline and keyboarding still in place until 9 00 for the inland east bay including areas like walnut and dublin and concord stretching over toward livermore. Air quality is moderate to unhealthy. The air quality is expected to improve tomorrow and temperatures expected to fall. Take a look at the 24hour temperature change. We will start here some areas only little bit cooler. They had a nice reprieve with temperatures down to about 5 degrees. We are not getting any of that benefit from the on tour reason. 105 in convert into the south bay shift into the south bay were talking with morning a moment ago about those fire conditions. Temperatures ranging from mid nineties low 100 present fight team. It feels like fall out there. Temperatures will begin to change. By tomorrow looking at a 5 to 5th degree drop. I will have details in a little bit. For more we want to bring in Cal Fire Division chief. Thank you. We see it from the north and south a lot of these fires are breaking out with the hot weather. Are you surprised at all we have this many fire so early on in the traditional fire season . We have gone from 0 to 100 in a week especially the northern part of the state. What we see right now is a rapid tryout. The grasses that are out there, it is a catch22. We had a great year of rain. On the flipside it is more dangerous for fires. The small starts are starting to get larger quicker and as you can see we have about 150 new fires per week across the state which is a rapid increase from a month ago. When you talk about this fuel that is out there what do you do to combat that . Homeowners we always say ready set go. At your home ready and yourself ready and make sure you go. There are a lot of projects going on statewide for cal fire and the initiatives after the last few years is doing some big projects and removing the fuel that is out there. Inking of ways the public can help, the vegetation is dry, but it does take a spark to start these fires and a lot of times we know these are human caused that cause a lot of destruction in our community. What is your message to people with temperatures getting warmer and the vegetation . You are right. 95 of all fires are started by humans or have some human involvement. May be the biggest take away is when we are under red flag conditions, when the temperatures are in excess of 100 degrees any spark that start sparks and that vegetation will carry. We preach extreme caution when we were outside. If you are going to use tools and equipment used it before 10 am. Is not if the fuel catches fire it is when. Obviously you guys have an opportunity to look at the forecast. You know these conditions especially this weekend will be present. What does cal fire do to prepare for that as far as personnel . Do you bring in extra people and will those people stay on standby until this warm weather subside mark we look at the intelligence every day and if the intel tells us based on weather and fuel type the conditions, we will put on staffing and hold people on duty and put extra aircraft and extra chief officers all in texas anticipation because we look at the forecast constantly and we put people in position to make sure we can respond. One think we will see during this fire season is pg e being more aggressive in terms of shutting off power when we have the red flag conditions. From your standpoint, how big of a difference you think that is going to make we get into the heart of fire season . The best way is looking at this as new normal and getting a new reality of how we live. We are supportive of anything that goes to reduce any possible ignition. We want to take care of the residence and we want to reduce those omissions so part of the new reality. As we wrap this up, it really is a situation in which you really have to be ready at any time for anything as we see today. Another fire in the east. Absolutely. I think the unfortunate reality now in california is the notion of thinking it can never happen to me and i cant tell you how many people i have talked to you who said i never thought it would be me, i never thought it would happen to me. Conditions are changing so rapidly it is vitally important to be vigilant and have a plan. Thank you for stopping by. Another day of hot weather is is as many people seem to be looking for some relief. Our reporter is joining us from a busy beach and that is the spot where a teenager drowned yesterday. We know emergency officials are trying to get the word out about how dangerous the beaches can be. Reporter firefighters go around every morning morning visitors to the beaches about the rip current along the coast and the strong tidal flow here inside the bay and also sneaker waves. All of these problems on the beaches and they make sure they tell everyone there are no lifeguards on duty. Another day of hot temperatures have many looking for relief on the beaches including chrissy fields where 14yearold drowned monday. Emergency workers reminding locals and visitors that San Francisco beaches can be beautiful and deadly and a combination of factors can be a recipe for disaster. Think about the extremely aggressive wave patterns we have. Very strong rip currents we have not only on the coastline, but inside the bay as well. They know that the water conditions can make swimming and surfing dangerous and crews advised those looking to slim to look elsewhere. If you are going into the water we recommend you plan that trip and think about going to a lifeguard protected beach and the closest is in marin county. Reporter for many the lore of a break is too tempting to pass outfield slowly came to the beach with his granddaughter and says he came from sweden and spent a lot of time on the beaches there. Safety has to be the number one priority. That means keeping a close eye on the kids and making sure they can float. As long as i go with and they can be out. If they are playing alone and make sure someone is there. Why we are talking about that one more danger the emergency workers remind me that as these temperatures warm up we will see a lot more hikers. That means people hiking along the cliff side. Remember every year we report stories of hikers who get stuck or who fall and get injured. Another advisory if you are hiking along the cliffs be very cautious, bring your mobile phone and be as cautious as possible. All of that is important to keep in mind.

Reporter his quest for a 16th major takes off this thursday for real, t time to oh 9 pm. The warriors and raptors are back here in the bay area today following the thrilling game and toronto. A major storyline not necessarily to in last night it was the loss of kevin durant. Once again coming out of the game with an injury he went down in the Second Quarter with what bob myers classified as an achilles injury. Durrant was cleared to play before last night by team doctors. Tell you something about him. He loves to play basketball and the people that questioned whether he wanted to get back to this team were wrong. And im not herehe is one of the most misunderstood people. He is a good teammate and a good person. It is not fair. We are joined by doctor of sports medicine. Thanks for coming in. We are still awaiting the results the public results the public release of the results of his mri. He is supposed to be having that today. That will tell us a lot about the severity of this injury. It was a torn right achilles. There are Different Levels of severity. Overwhelmingly these kinds of injuries if they are not complete tears can be managed without operation. We are learning what the extent is the tearing we expect to find. Best case scenario. That is that we do find that it is torn but not to the point that would necessitate requiring surgery. Nonoperative care is the majority of these kinds of injuries. We know the back story. Went down about a month ago during playoffs with what was described at that time as a strained calf. With an underlying injury like that how much more likely does it make it that he would tear his achilles . Spoke this is the tough call have a baseline underline that made it vulnerable and it is always someone who can or should be playing. Secondguessing is very easy after the fact. It is the case that that mild strain may have made it more vulnerable which we saw last night. No doubt, it is hard to say. It needs to get back. We heard it from the gm and the team that kevin was cleared by a team of doctors to play and obviously he wouldnt be playing, he didnt want to be out there and he certainly looked good during the time he was out there and he was moving well. What was the process you think in this case declaring him to come back into a game like this . First medical facts dictate a lot of expectations. Of course, the context of the series. Obviously it was an elimination game. Stuck if you think thats factored into . Should that factor in from a medical standpoint . It seems like it shouldnt matter. It should not, but it does when it comes to days like this that if a person may be able to manage and they will allow them to play. It is not uncommon. Taking into account all factors including the medical factors and the motivation of the player coupled with the contest. It is very much in the landscape of what is going on. Lets look ahead and talk about what is next. We dont know the level of severity of this injury. Lets say it is achilles injury and what is he looking at in terms of rehab and what is the timeframe . It will come down to the severity and weve all been checking and trying to peek in on the latest. It is a complete tear given his level of activity i would anticipate he will likely have surgery and got rehabilitation would be close to one year. If he doesnt require surgery and lets say we get a little lucky you may be looking at 4 to 6 months. Emotional testimony on capitol hill as john stuart gets very serious.

The president has promised help for iowa california senator Kamala Harris feeling the burden of your career as a prosecutor. She is facing new criticism for something she did not do well serving as the District Attorney of San Francisco and we are here to talk about it on todays event addition of the verdict. This has something to do with something that is called the brady disclosure. It discloses information to defendants about lets say police and other people. Why is a policy like that important . It is important because if you have is the tory evidence, evidence that helps the defense , Police Officer is going to testify against a defendant, but hes been convicted of perjury, lying under oath, it is incumbent on the prosecution to give that to the defense so during the trial they can cross examine. You say wait a minute, you have lied before under oath so that brady policy decides what should be given to the defense by way of exculpatory evidence and what shouldnt be given to the defense. The staff says we think this policy is important and you need to put in place and she did not. In 2005 her staff that we dont have a brady policy in San Francisco. It is important we do this. We as prosecutors have to have guidelines as to what to give out or not to give up to the defense. They had nothing. It was 2009 then chief of police went to her and said i need to know what you give up, what do you give up and we dont a brady policy. What does that lead to . Deborah madden was a criminalist that was skimming cocaine and she had a felony conviction for domestic violence. The das office did not give that up to over 1000 defendants. Those defendants got convicted. Once it was found out that that was given to the defense the court in a very long hearing skating against the das office said i am dismissing this case. 1000 criminals walked out the door because the das office didnt have in place a brady policy. Why did she not an active policy that just about every Office Around the country had and that her own staff supported . You have to know that when she first went into office and officer officer espinoza was killed in San Francisco. The Police Department was adamant about bringing in a Death Penalty against a defendant in that case. She refused to do it. Police department got upset so she had what she thought were allies in helping her career against her and she thought if i put in a brady policy because the police have some input what information are you giving up. We dont want personal stuff. What is in there . She didnt want to have that fight. The staff kept telling her you have to do it. You have to get it in place. At that time we were playing politics. We were out running for attorney general. She was doing what a lot do. She is not unique in this. I hope Nothing Happened so i will have the police on my side and i will also have the side that wants the brady in place and i will keep shining them on and hopefully they will all vote for me. It backfired. We will have to leave it there. She will have to answer a lot of questions because you have to make decisions. Dont play politics with this. Make a decision.
