We want to get together with some developing news with firefighters on the scene of a destructive fire that thankfully is now under control. Start to the a 15 this morning in oaklands chinatown but quickly went to five alarm. This is that 7th and webster street. It appears to have started as a Dumpster Fire and then spread to the twostory building. It has restaurants and stores there on the ground level and the building runs along two thirds of that block. Everyone made it out safely and firefighters were able to keep those flames from spreading to the neighboring buildings. In this densely packed area. It did say that we have the personnel that we were able to get out of the building to the fire under control. To that many bodies. Ted cruz going through the bottles, which for us, that is not a normal fire, we normally go through one or two bottles and tanks and had firefighters going through four of them this morning before they go no injuries were reported in the cause of the original dumpster or garbage fire is under investigation. Lets give your live look right outside now and this is sunny oakland. I have not said that in a while. Today is still the 30th straight spare the air day for the bay area. More than double the previous record, lets hope it ends there. Because, we are seeing some of the best conditions that we have had really in a month or so. We certainly are. Lets bring in mark now for an update. It is a nice Welcome Change with the air quality here in the bay area thanks to more of the westerly wind that is setting in just up offshore. A lot of your visually notice the changes and also, showing up on the sensors as well. Remember last week at this time, we have the dark skies that was basic and i to the middle of the day. Right now, we are showing the sensors. We are showing your bunch of green sensors here over the bay area but if you look out for this year, they have unhealthy air and also a in the Pacific Northwest here, lots of unhealthy air, so the fires are producing a lot of smoke. That smoke is not drifting in right now, at least not the thick smoke. The current air quality observations, look at the green reports indicating good air quality. This is great to report. San francisco and oakland, livermore down to the south. Nsa has good air quality. We have moderate levels closer to Santa Cruz County this afternoon. Look at the live camera. Seems like a dream just a few days ago. This is live camera looking out toward the golden gate bridge. Lots of clear skies and a patch of fog there trying to sneak on across the span. With a bit of hazy skies, so it is not perfect air quality, but compared to last few days, it is a great improvement. Heres the forecast for today. The alert continues through the day. Not seen an update on the air Quality Management district yet. We will see if i could inspire this throughout the afternoon. But for today, moderate levels, unhealthy for sensitive groups, and heres the forecast model and we are showing you this by 10 00 tonight. Still some pretty good air quality here in the bay area. You will notice this. We have this off to the north and also to the east of the region. What we are talking about is the nice change, other parts of the state in the country up to the north, not the same story. We will have more on this and update changing weather patterns as we go through the weekend. Maybe some rainfall to the north and we will have more in the forecast, coming up in just a little bit. We are following a developing story out of oakland, where police say they continue to search for the person who hit two Police Officers with the car, dragging one of the officers for about 10 or 15 feet. This happened this morning when the officers were responding to a car crash. We have the story. Reporter a starter with what appeared to be a car crash near 12 and castor in oakland at 7 00 this morning. Neighbors call the police when they saw a white Mitsubishi Outlander against the tree. There was no damage, so we thought maybe he had odd. Two local Police Officers arrived to check on the driver who was passed out. Is a check on his wellbeing to see if he needed medical attention, the driver started to wake up quickly and put the car in reverse, knocking both officers down. One of the officers was dragged 10 to 15 feet. Reporter the unexpected seen startled neighbors who saw the officers. I was scared for them and i was glad they were able to get up and walk around. I am sure theyre going to be very sore. Reporter both officers are recovering in the hospital. The did not have details on the extent of the injuries. In another developing story, this is a Police Department is investigating after six people were shot during a candlelight vigil near san jose state. Two of those people died. We have an update now from the department. Reporter it was an active scene from last night into this morning. Investigators spent hours around south eighth street piecing together evidence and trying to figure out exactly what led to the shooting. It was a chaotic scene outside his house before he saw what was going on, this is what he heard. Heard the shots and then i heard a girl screaming in agony. It sounded like a few people, then i heard some yelling. And then, the car went off. The police for a says six people were shot at 10 00 last night. Two victims died, but four are expected to survive. It happened during a candlelight vigil just a couple blocks from san jose state. One person getting shot at an event like this is one too many. The department as if the person being memorialized is somehow connected with the shooting or if it was a random or targeted attack. If there was a Public Safety threat, we would immediately put that out. Right now, that is not the case. Reporter police say they responded to the shooting call at the same area but did not find anything. Now they are looking for a possible connection between the two. The situation is overwhelming for neighbors. This is not the type of community we want to live in. This is not the example we want to set for our kids. Reporter as for the victims, they say that to five are men and one is a woman. The two people who died are both adults, marking the 27th and 20 homicide of the year. Investigators are working to figure out who pulled the trigger and wipe. The looking for the community to get some answers. This is a tragic situation. We have two people who are deceased. People who are family, so we really need the publics help. Lets get it right over to sacramento right now. Governor gavin newsom is front of the microphone for the news conference. With the challenges of dealing with the pandemic and dealing with this unprecedented emergency related to wildfires in the state. That is the crisis on the streets of the state of california. I want to remind people very briefly that we are making a historic investment in housing for the homeless here in the state of california. I have long believed and held a bias that shelters may solve sleep, but housing and Supportive Services foundational he can help address more permanently the issue of homelessness. As a construct, we were able to advance this year and effort the referred to as project home key, working with legislature with the leadership and we were able to set aside some 600 million this year in the budget to purchase hotels and other housing for the homeless. For the first time, to arguably in the states history, provide a portfolio of support to the cities and counties, the likes of which we have never had in the past. I just want briefly to update you on some of the progress. This audacious goal, investing some 600 million into the space, needs to be completed by the end of the calendar year. We are moving with surgical aggressiveness in terms of advancing these efforts with a kind of focus and energy that we have not in many years. As a consequence, we are now sending it today, our first awards, drying down from that 600 million, some 76. 5 million to procure some 579 units, 10 different projects across 7 jurisdictions in this state. The reason i highlight these jurisdictions is that a number of them are novel. Another them, like mendocino county, like you said the list, this is the firstever project of its type within that county. The project areas like tahoe and lake elsinore, they have goals with this First Tranche of distribution to functionally get to zero, the number of homeless in their communities. We have progress focusing on foster youth in particular. Many of whom have been emancipated or dropped through the cracks in the foster system. Pittsburg, california, we recently were at a motel 6 site that is being used currently to provide access and opportunity through a program called project room key, to exercise the ability to purchase that hotel out right so that we can provide a permanent cohort of supports for homeless in that community. That is a needs to be highlighted because i need to highlight the mayor for his stewardship and his leadership, working with the big 13 mayors as he is now chair of that organization. He has been exceptional and credibly supportive of this effort and advancing this cause, not only within san jose city, working with county leaders, but moreover, working with other mayors throughout the state of california. Including working with local leadership in kern county. I say that because this issue of homelessness impacts the entire state of california. It is no longer a coastal issue. It is not concentrated in just a few dense urban environments in the state, having traveled to most parts of the state of the past week, i reminded over and over as we drive and see those underpasses, and we drive down streets and sidewalks stream with camping equipment and people out there intense, the work we have to do. I would be remiss if i did not highlight this. Many of you tuned in to get an update on the wildfires and covid, but i want folks to know our commitment, our resolve to addressing this issue. It will not happen overnight. We cannot overpromise in this space, the state of california has a responsibility to support cities and counties. The city of california for decades, was not focused as much as we would have liked on this issue, so we are trying to make up for that and we are trying to take responsibility and move forward deliberately and in this project home key, we think is one of the more meaningful efforts in advancing that cause and again, i want to thank all of our partners, including the cochairs of the workgroup that we put together on homelessness, mayor steinberg, and the supervisor thomas for all their up landing outstanding support as well for advancing the cause. A cause of many of you came to get updated on, although i recognize is the experience we are all having with historic wildfire season. I thought it was start with this template of understanding. This is a chart that goes back to 1980. Look over 40 year period, you are seeing temperatures between june and september the state of california increase from roughly 71 degrees to about 74 degrees. What i might not seem significant, 3 degrees, it is profoundly impactful. Average temperatures in the state of california during the summer months increasing over the last number of decades. It is a direct cause and effect to the experience that we are currently having with the climate induced human activity induced climates induced wildfire season. I made this Crystal Clear two days ago when President Trump was out here in the state and expressed similarly when we were with senator harris yesterday here in the state. Will recognize our responsibility. Our mutual responsibility. The federal government, the state government, private landowners, all of us, doing more and doing better in terms of our Vegetation Management efforts, air force management efforts, we stipulate that as selfevident and of course, that is being advanced in ways that we have not seen in the past. By partnerships with the u. S. For service to more than double the total number of acreage on an annual basis where we are doing the kind of prescribed burns, doing the kind of thinning that has an environmen addresses some of the fuel loads in our dense forests. But the fundamental fact cannot be denied, represented in this charge and the reality of average temperatures significantly increasing and you see that trend line. That is not going in the right direction. It is going in a direction that only underscores our sense of urgency to address head on the issue of climate and Climate Change and to double down on our efforts here in the state of california, a commitment that i have made very publicly over the course of the last few days, frankly, over the course of many many years and many different capacities, including my capacity as a former mayor, where we lead the state in many categories. California leads the nation, but we have more work still to do hearing a series of those announcements over the next few weeks and months. This will be as we advance the cause, a cause that we hold dear in the state of california, and a cause that knows no political party. Particularly as it relates to leadership in the state from Governor Brown to governor schwarzenegger, going all the way back to governor reagan who established in 1970, many of the tenants of the California AirResources Board and other tenants that have become National Models in environmental stewardship. We to reconcile the fact that there are no democratic thermometers and a republican to thermometers. There is fact and there is reality, as well as observed evidence. It is not a belief system, it is an acknowledgment. The facts of the facts. Is not a question of ones belief comments whether not you will acknowledge the facts as they are presented. The facts are in evidence, and we certainly acknowledge them and we acknowledge our responsibility to do more in this space. You can see from this chart the challenge that we have in front of us. Heres a charge looking back over the last nine years. This is here in the state of california. I reminded people after a very tough wildfire season last year, with the kincade fire in Northern California, as stressful as it was, the fire near the Reagan Library itself, last year, it generated a lots of International Headlines and it was a relatively mild wildfire season in contrast to the last decade. You can see that in this slide, just those two first bars. 3. 4 million acres. 3. 37 millionburned so far in this calendar year. Last year and the entire calendar just 277,000 acres. I dont mean just, because that is a substantial number of acres that were burned by wildfires but in comparison to this year, it is modest in size. 2018, you will see the third bar. Once. 975 million acres burned. 85 lives were lost, that was one of the most destructive and devastating from a structural perspective matches the acreage perspective. Gives you a sense of the challenge that we are facing and the challenges that we will face moving into the future and it will requires to be more flexible. Less ideological, and more committed to the collective cause of organizing strategies to keep people safe and to maintain our adaptability and our resiliency, so that we can work through this challenge and this climate induced crisis. This emergency that we are facing, not only as a state and as a nation, but as a globe and as a world. As it relates to californias historic wildfire season, let me break them down in terms of the total number of fires in a more easily observable terms. Fisher at this time in the state, we had 5136 fires only birded 152,000 acres. Again, this year, 3. 4 million acres, close to 8000 fires. I will remind you that it was a month ago yesterday thats we started to experience the impact of nearly 14,000 lightning strikes. It was a month ago yesterday that we can mark that we have now burned just in the last 31 days or so, 2. 8 million acres and, have had the tragic loss of 25 lives and thousands of structures. Again, unprecedented number of lightning strikes. Of course, august was unprecedented in terms of heat. Record level, record recorded heat in the state of california, including 130 degrees down a death valley, which, at the analyze it more closely, might be a world breaking record. 130 degrees in the state of california. The hottest august in our history. There battling some 25 major fires, what we would refer to as comp expires were fires, 1100 in the last 30 days. A fire starts and they converge together into larger complexes. We have 30,000 people that have been evacuated and again, over 3. 4 million acres have burned to date. Still battling these wildfires over 17,000 firefighters, mutual aid system that comes not only with the the state, but 83 engine set of come from outside of the state, including some 60 engines from the state of texas. What i want to thank Governor Abbott for his extraordinary support. He has been incredibly responsive for now months here in the state, but in particular, hes really helping us with that creek fire, which i will talk about a little bit more in a moment. Just gives you an indication and example of the mutual aid system that knows the politics and that spans not only to states along the west coast, and places like texas, but includes new jersey, governor murphy picked up the phone and he sent three engines from new jersey. We have firefighters from israel, and had the privilege of speaking with the Prime Minister two who has sent out under the mutual aid system, 100 firefighters to support them in addition to the other states. 25 fatalities to date and what we know, based upon our analysis as we get back in and we repopulate areas, 4200, which is why we say plus, because we display the number to grow, but 200 structures so far have been destroyed because of the latest fires. Lets talk about progress on some of these more active fires. Many of these fires have happened in the last 30 days. We were out yesterday with senator harris in fresno in the county. The creek fire has generated a lot of attention for good reason. This is an area where we are experiencing uniquely challenging conditions. Visa 220,000 acres have burned. 18 current condition. The challenge with the fire in particular, is the fact that we are battling this fire impacted specifically a fire that has been impacted by the droughts that we experienced between 2005 with intensity through 2015, arguably, that ended in 2017. That historic drought led dead these the trees have fallen. The trees act as kindling. The trees are dry. You have climate induced challenges. We have tens of millions of trees in these forests and obviously, that is a recipe for very challenging conditions and often, those conditions lead to what we are now referring to over and over again as make a fires. So, the creek fire remains top of mind and top of concern. We are there with the us for services on federal land. 57 of the forest and land in the state of california, close to 60 , is federal area of responsibility. Just 3 instate areas of responsibility, so we talk about forest fires. We are predominantly talking about the need for partnership with the federal government. That is foundational. That partnership has advanced the u. S. For service at the creek fire, it is a partnership between cal fire, the state agency, and the for service, which again is advancing a collaborative stewardship framework which will be very promising moving forward but is also critical in terms of the suppression efforts. The north complex fires and other fire we visited 48 hours ago as we watched in the week. The most devastating in this respect. We have 273,000 acres which is substantial represented the six large largest wildfires in terms of a great loss. The creek is the 12th largest in california history, but the devastation of the north complex in and around butte and Lassen County is a 15 lives that have been lost that we know of to date, just in this complex, which is obviously devastating. I just want to express our deepest console this my condolences the families of lost loved ones and to the heroism of our First Responders that have been out there doing their best to support evacuation efforts, to work with local sheriffs and local First Responders to support folks moving into safe locations as a fires rage. This again is just 36 contained to date. As it relates of ours have been active for some time, i told you once at a rate, that one of the largest complexes in the history of the states, the lnu complex,s 91 contained. Today they have made even more containment. It is up to 97 and we are starting to see the acreage decline. With the czu, complex, this is what they referred to as a fire that has occurred in an asbestos force. Is a coastal fire along the coast we have coastal conditions that have led to some of the most majestic living trees on the planet. Teresa go back in some cases 2000 years. These majestic redwoods. And every red word force it was down to the coast, they have a 24hour period were 44,000 acres were burned in just a 24 hour period along the coast. Again, if you are ever in doubt about climate impacts as it relates to these forest fires, just consider this asbestos forest and that kind of fire activity. That czu complexes beyond just that immediate area but nonetheless, we are and better containment now than we did last week. 98 percent containment. The largest in california history. Thats complex continues to grow. It was 350 the six 10 56,000 acres last week. A lot of others brush, not just force fire. A lot of grass fire as well, but nonetheless, the containment has been stubborn. A little bit of progress and you to see the acreage growth has been rather substantial. Another area of concern, wanted to highlight the l. A. County bobcat county. 0 containment. This is getting a lot of it attention for good reason. 0 containment last week. It has grown to 44,000 acres. Just 3 containment this week. As a pull back and we see containment on a number of the larger complexes, and we are making progress not just on the lnu and the czu, but also the scu and the oak and the willow complexes, were able to put more resources on these fires include the bobcat fire in l. A. County. Speaking of San Diego County, the challenge with the valley fire last week. We have made tremendous progress on that fire, maintaining the acreage at 17,000 today. 90 containment versus three. It is a point of reference with all of these that it has been made. And that is the heroism of these incredible firefighters and we want to thank the public , by the way. They have the wonderful signs with the number of firefighters with senator harris yesterday in fresno, it is not lost in any of us how impactful it is when a family takes pen to paper and puts out a nice sign, just thinking First Responders and thinking the firefighters. You see those throughout the county and in fresno, and i want to thank members of the public that took the time to thank the First Responders of these heroes. It makes a big enof to see that, so it is just a point of personal privilege. I want to knowledge that and think members of the public for expressing that sentiment as much as they have. You see it all of the state, but it was in particular visible all around the creek fire in Fresno County yesterday. El dorado, this got a lot of attention in san bernardino. 10 contained last week. Real progress this week. 60 contained. Modest growth in acreage. Just one of the many larger complexes that we are battling in the states. That is an update on the wildfires. The good news is while we have a little red flag conditions, modest red flag conditions in the northern part of the state, the wind conditions have been, relatively speaking, more favorable in the last week or so. As a consequence, we are making some Real Progress on these larger complexes. While it is absolutely true, we have to knowledge that the number of these complexes are no longer on our list of major complexes, because of the suppression and because of the containment that has been done and it is just testament to cal fire and the mutual aid system and all of the hardware, the stubborn hard work that includes hand crews and others on the front line. So if the weather can continue to hold, the percent rotation precipitation Northern California the county, that is potentially very relieving and the point of some optimism as we move forward. Speaking of some optimism, we are moving forward and seeing a decline in the rate of spread and transmission of covid19. We can see here on september 15, 2950 positive cases were reported. 7 day average down to 3003 in a 48. Significant, but a 7 day average that is substantially lower than we have seen in a number of months in this state. We are turning the corner and suppressing this latest increase in the case growth rate of covid19. You can see that specifically on the Positivity Rate chart, which many of you are very familiar with. We can see the testing come back getting back to 100 average. I will remind you we have a number of weeks else, with the partnership where they will substantially start to increase the total number of daily tests. We are not backing off of the commitment to increase the total daily tests. We want to substantially increase the total daily volume. We have been stressed the last three weeks, however, by these fires that have impacted a lot of our mobile testing sites. Air quality issues f impacted accessibility to these sites. While it is true for the last 4 to 5 days, we have had an excess of 100,000 tests per day, those numbers, over a 7 day period, are just shy of the 100,000 goal. Nonetheless, the Positivity Rate is also declining at 3. 6 over 14 day period, and at 3. 6 over the last 7 days. So the Positivity Rate, and the state of california, down to 3. 6 . Statewide, both over the 7 day average and the 14 day average. We continue to see Real Progress with hospitalizations down 22 over a four team day period. You can see from this chart that it represents 4 now of the total Healthcare System capacity and the number of people with covid19 and our hospitals. We have the icus at 22 decreased in icu patients. Over the last 14 days and in the icu, Critical Care capacity with the total number of covid positive patients represent 10 and substantially down from numbers we have seen over the course of the last few months. What is also down the the number of counties that are in the purple tears. Im going to ask the doctor to come up here in a moment and he highlighted in his zoom presentation, the status of our counties when it relates to the tear that our counties are in. Will be last updated you, we have 33 counties in purple. 14 in red. We announced yesterday, he announced that we went from 33 counties in purple to 30 counties and 14 counties in red, the next year up, up to 17 counties. We anticipate the number of orange and yellow county is growing next week as we will be three weeks into the new tier strategy, but dr. Ghaly can talk a little bit more about where he sees things going as it relates to the different tiers and also expressed the kind of work and discuss the kind of work were doing with counties to express the dynamic and the engagement that we are having on a consistent basis around data, around making sure that we are all using the same data sets and addressing some ambiguities and disparities that are part and parcel of the state as large as ours and part of the process. This dynamic process that we put together as it relates to this new plan. We are sticking to a. We are committed to it over the long run. But dr. Ghaly can speak more specifically about where we are and where things are going over the next week or so. Good afternoon and thank you, governor. Yesterday, we updated our tears as we do every tuesday and we moved three counties. It was marin county, and tehama county, all move from purple to red. Reducing the number of purple counties to 30 an increasing read counties to 17. As a governor mentioned, it will be next week, the first week that we see read counties move to orange and orange potentially move it to yellow. So we will look forward to that update. We are in close conversations with a number of counties that may be making that transition based on the consistency of the data and we will be updating that next week. Just to reiterate a couple of things of the governor said would be and lots of active conversations with our counties. Their small counties in california where the data changes. Small changes in data could lead to major changes in the calculation of our data. We are working with them specifically the small counties. I appreciate Health Officers in the small counties. The supervisors and other non elect leaders in those counties having the detailed conversations with us, so we get it right and we make sure that we have the data, so as we stick to the plan, the slow wit the plan for the next three weeks. Then of the lower tier for two consecutive weeks before they move, that we do that with the level of responsibility and accountability that we expect. There was a great deal of conversation about San Diego County, that large county that moved to red fairly quickly from the purple tier and we have been in active conversation about their numbers on the Data Elements that help us make accurate calculations and as we look forward to next week, the potential that San Diego County needs for two consecutive weeks, the need to go to a more restrictive tier. If that is what the data shows, that is with the state is going to expect. Anticipate working hard with the Health Leaders and their other leader Summit County to make sure that the data is accurate, but if that were is what it shows, that is what we will backed up not to San Diego County, but all counties in the pursuit of making sure that we stick to this slow stringent plan that we get through flu season, that we get into winter and we allow ourselves the runway to make sure that the Health System is prepared and that we dont see sudden surges in cases and that we really follow the thoughtful plan that we have put out. So, we look over to continuing those updates working with your counties and as a governor said, we are reaching levels of transmission thats are lower than you have seen in many months, but we still need to continue to keep our guard up. One reporter asked me what i worry the most about and it really is that we begin to let our guard down. That we do less of the social and physical distancing that we talked about, that we allow ourselves to enter environments were transmission might be higher because more people that were not used to spending time with our gathering, that we forget to keep our mascot as much as we can. All of those things are key tools that we see more and more evidence of, helping us control and reduce transmission, so, we look forward to continuing to give the updates. Hopefully seeing these numbers continue to come down as we marched through this process into fall and winter. So with that, i will turn it back to you, governor. Thank you, as dr. Ghaly said, new counties added to the red tier, based upon the progress, based upon the data that we are seeing in many other counties, we expect more counties to be moving in the right direction and we look forward next week to updating this tiered status database and providing even more clarity on where we believe we are going, but as he said, it is absolutely foundational to learn the lessons from fourth of july, memorial day weekend, from the experiences of the past. We just went through a long threeday weekend and that data has not come in. These are lacking. This information comes in over the course of the next few weeks and that is why we have tiered status and we have buffers between the tears. We want stability between them. We will have the vigilance in the space driven by this data and driven by the framework that we worked with the county Health Officers to develop and also, driven by recognition that we maintain a willingness to engage and with new information, and new data, presents itself, when you fax present themselves, that by definition, we maintain an openness and a willingness to engage and to dialogue and so, it is a way of expressing this, we will be making announcements soon as it relates to theme parks and amusement parks, making announcements soon as it relates to some areas and industries, as well as sectors and making additional guidelines , or putting out additional guidelines in those spaces. Very shortly. Im not here today to make that presentation, but i want folks to know that we are actively working in a number of sectors and we will be making public the fruits of those negotiations and those efforts very shortly. And i will and, as i always do, about the imperative of importance and power of wearing a mask. I thought it was very interesting today to read, as i hope many of you did, or will soon, with the cdc director said about the power and potency of the nonpharmaceutical intervention of wearing a mask which could be as potent or even more potent than the vaccine. Take a look at his comments today about the parent reports of wearing a mask and wearing a face covered. The importance of physically does sing as we start to modify the stayathome orders and move into doing tiers. The likelihood of people moving outside of the family or household cohort increases which is why the mask wearing is so foundational and maintaining proximity to others in a way that is safe as it relates to mitigating the spread of this disease. Always doing work on hygiene and again, minimizing to the extent possible, mixing more broadly broadly when you are out and about and doing the things that all of us need to do to live our lives. That is it. Broad strokes. Lets updates where we are in the wildfires and as the results to it relates to our covid response. Im happy to take any questions. You been listening to governor gavin newsom there where he did address three big issues. Project home key out of the gate, keeping it with the san jose mayor and his involvement. We also discussed covid19 and coronavirus and turning the corner. The words he used to describe california right now when it comes to fighting the virus and that is a good thing. You want to turn the corner and go in the right direction. Giving marin county as an example joining other counties in the red tier, those Positivity Rates are going down and the number of cases are going down specifically in those bay area counties and other counties across the state. So the governor is very happy about turning a corner here in the states. But, the wildfires really took the majority of time from the governor here. On monday, he talked about Climate Change with President Trump, just yesterday, alongside senator, harris and Fresno County, talking about Climate Change and he put that one graphic today talking about Climate Change, giving an example of the temperature here in california on the rise during the summer months from 1980 until just last year, going from 71 degrees to 74 degrees. They are talked with the saint this is part of the reason we are seeing 3 million acres burned just this fire season, five or six more weeks to go in this fire season, but enforcing and bringing home that child Climate Change is real and that it exists. Not everyone agrees, not even the president of the that the states but he definitely hit that home again at the news conference. He certainly did. When talking about the 3. 4 million acres of burned so far this year, he contrasted that to the number of acres burned last year and that was about 277,000, so obvious the, making that comparison to how things have changed this year. He also talked about how we have turned the corner on covid 19 and turned the corner on a number of wildfires. He said it is important to know that there are still 25 major complex fires that are active right now. Firefighters from all across california and including firefighters from other parts of the country like texas still right now, there out there on the front lines battling the fires.
