I want to take you back to the south bay, to the sky fox still overhead, and just on this particular scene where there is a lot of structure protection going on here and, you can see that wall of flames right in the middle. And, my estimation up to 50 to 100 feet tall, and they have been hitting it hard since the sun came up. You can see those lines there, but obviously, the stretch of flames has gone through some of it and made its way all the way up to what issues they . Pretty good defensible space. But you can see a lot of the vegetation. Thats right. And, hoses are laid out, and we have been watching this picture. They are shooting water there at the flames. And, at this point we have confirmed that at least one structure has burned. There is still an intense fight such as this one. Just take a look at these trees. And, an awful lot of smoke rising. Overall, about 1100 acres have burned. It is only 5 contained. And here we are, 21 is hours later. And, blowing away from the property. One of those wins doing winds doing crack well, . Well, the wind is blowing more to the east and southeast. That seems to be the direction its going. The breeze has not been a factor. Its about 94 to 96, the humidity is around 17 . Remember, the fire creates its own wind sometime. So that can generate, and within the fire in the flames, you could get a pretty big breeze. So i think thats whats happening a little bit. And, all of a sudden, we get a gust. Yes, i havent seen any breeze compared to yesterday. And, it is mostly calm or a little bit more out of the west. And, nothing over 10 miles per hour. And, the fire may be creating test might be creating those. You have to tip it off to those fire crews. They start putting water on that immediately. I know that you cant always have that retardant right when you want. And, we will be right back in a moment. An emotional moment in sports as the Miami Marlins took the field for the First Time Since the death of the star pitcher. He died in a boating accident early sunday morning, he was remembered in a pregame ceremony. Our hearts are heavy with sorrow as we gather today together tonight as a family to remember a man and a teammate who meant so much to all of us. We shall keep them in our hearts. Afterwards, they hugged, and they gathered around the pitching mound. They each wore his number. The game started and quite a remarkable way. It is gone. How about that . The leadoff hitter, fernandez, and he hit his first home run of the season. He was in tears before he passed the plate. They went on to beat them 723. After that, they gathered around the mound again. And with six games left, the time is now to make a push. And, they come off of a four game spirit series split. And, they will start with the giants. It did not go so well as it only made without the second ending. And, after the rocky series, they close out the regular season against the dodgers. And, the season ended today they would take that second wildcard spot. And, a game up, on the Miami Marlins. The as are closing out their season, they lost to the angels. They do have a chance to play spoiler, land the season with a game. The mariners are two games out. Back really quick to the loma fire. And, we have seen a pretty good air attack and, as soon as we went to break, we saw come in and make a good drop. And, they were protecting the. And, lets get right over to steve paulson. You can see the retardant line. And i think whats happening here, is it coming up the mountain and its about 96 degrees. And temperatures are a little cool below in the was a flareup that happened. Ensure that the fire has generated somewhat of a breeze. And, that looks to be the line that they are standing right there. And, the smoke is blowing away. And, it is going southeast. And you can see that retardant. They will probably make another sweep there. And it shows you how important that is. Exactly. Thats true. So, we have a lot going on. The temperatures are getting very hot. Mother nature is not providing much of a breeze. But, this looks like it has kind of burned itself out. And, the smoke is moving away. Thats good news. We do have really hot conditions. 94, its going to get at least 296 or 97. The humidity is blown dry to 96, or 97. The humidity is bone dry. Some of this for morgan hill, they had a good comments. And, it flares up at about 1220 best 12 20 pm. But look at the temperatures, it is hot. And, this is pretty warm as well. 93 scotts valley, almost 90 for other locations. And, fighting very tough conditions. I think it will tomorrow. There is a north wind, but it has turned westerly. So signs of that sea breeze coming in is just flying through the golden break. And, yet there is a wet a lot of resentments. And, the fog is filling in, some areas are really cold. Ive seen some upper 50s. And, they are stockton. And, water temperatures came up a little bit but they are going to go down. And, 66 happened. And, 80s and 90s, very warm conditions. Most locations are running a few degrees cooler. Not anywhere around five to grip 5 to 10 degrees cooler. And, the fog is sweeping down the coast. Very shallow. And, this will help the firefighters big ten tomorrow. And, at least we are losing that easterly breeze. In the westerly breeze hasnt kicked in. 60s, 90s, when more hot day in land. But coastal locations are coolingoff period and santa cruz is still going for 84 today. Its not there yet but it will be. And temperatures will take the plunge if you will tomorrow and, after that not only are we talking about cooler conditions that we may have to talk about our first reign of the season. And, certainly in the north bay. Here is one of our tankers. And cost so the former jetliner converted into that firefighting machine. And, 12,000 gallons of water. And, it is now inbound. And a lot of people walked those lines. And, when we get over to the fire zone. And, we are starting to stretch a little bit. And, you can see, as it makes its way towards the fire cannot forget that there is an offer a lot of smoke rising from the mound. And a lot of people are concerned about their homes at this point only one home is confirmed to have been destroyed by flames. About 1100 acres have burned. The fire is not even 24 hours old. But it is a major concern. And, i can see the smoke and smell it. At this point we are watching to see if they are doing another one this is no easy task. To take it this close to mountain range, it would be an accurate drop. Its very difficult to apply this plane. And, this is doing drop that wildfires so, its a very dangerous mission. And, they may or may not be familiar with this area. And, that was my question. Yes, i think that theres three of them at least working here in the state of california. We see these orange lines, and we have almost considered crisscrossed and more retardant on areas where there are some down. We had a dramatic scene live on the air. And, we saw a pretty thick wall of flames coming up. And, as soon as those flames hit that read retardant, we can tell, we are up over the area. But, there is a home that i was talking about. And, we can see where this plane is heading. And, pictures from earlier today. Just need to get back your, looking at cal fire put out a release that it was adding a dc 10 for the remainder of the current season and it was going to be based near the mcclellan airport. Okay. I think at this point we will have to leave this life. And, when the retardant drop happens it will try to bring that to you. This is the new comfort food. And it starts with foster farms simply raised chicken. California grown with no antibiotics ever. Coverage of the fire burning will continue today at 4 pm.
