do, kpix5. it's been a busy day for firefighters. crews in solano county put out this four alarm fire that broke out near suisun city. chopper 5 flew through the thick smoke this afternoon. the fire spread through the rush ranch area near grizzly island road, open grassland, but no homes were threatened. meantime fire crews are battling a wildfire in western marin county. the irving fire broke out last night. it has blackened 115 acres. planes were spotted near samuel p. taylor state park. that's officer francis drake boulevard. evacuations went out immediately for some neighbors near forest knolls and la gunitas. kpix5's emily turner joins us now live. >> reporter: you can see smoke rising up behind those trees as the wind pick up in these afternoon hours. we do now know just in the last half hour that some of the folks who have been evacuated are allowed home, though they may not have power. pg&e is working on that. it hasn't been an easy day for marin county firefighters trying to control the irving fire near la ganitas. >> most of the terrain is super steep we can't even get the dozers into. crews have been working hard all summer. we're trying to get crews to put it in. >> reporter: firefighters managed to stop forward progress, which is another good sign, but the fire threatens about 150 homes. jean barronsmeyer had to evacuate hers last night. >> when you're 86 years old, it's scary, but you do what you have to do. >> reporter: marin fire says the cause of the blaze is under investigation, but we found pg&e crews and fire officials inspecting downed power lines in the area firefighters say it started. you can see crews gathering a spool of line as well as a power pole without a power line. >> our big concern right now is although it's not exactly a hot day, the humidities are really low and the winds are high. we're expecting the winds to get a little higher. if we can push through this afternoon, get into the evening hours and get the winds to drop and humidities to rise, it will definitely help us out. >> reporter: we did reach out to pg&e about the cause of this fire. they deferred to marin fire who, of course, says that the cause is still currently under investigation. another important thing to note is that out of the homes in the san geronimo valley marin fire just did fire wise inspections this summer and of all the homes they looked at only about 60% meet state standards. they're hoping that this, while everything is safe, is a great reminder for folks to get fire wise. live in marin county, emily turner, kpix5. now to the big story on the east coast, several states preparing for a monster hurricane to arrive taking a live look at myrtle beach in south carolina. the wind is picking up there right now. hurricane florence is expected to make landfall in about three days. earlier today the governor ordered people living along the coastline to clear out. cars were seen leaving stuck in gridlock. this drone shot no signs of any tourists on the beach. we have learned about 1 million people are on the move, all heading inland. >> hurricane florence will affect each and every one of you. this storm is a monster. it's big and it's vicious. y: it's expected to cause rophic damag >> the satellite imageries show the category 4 storm churning in the atlantic. it's expected to cause catastrophic damage in virginia, maryland and the carolinas. here's a closer look. this video is from a hurricane hunter plane. it's flying through florence gathering the latest readings on the storm. the views are especially eerie as the plane flies through the eye of the hurricane. our meteorologist paul deanno is tracking florence for us. folks may be wondering why it flies through the eye. it does that about 20 different times in one flight because that's how we figure out how quick it's moving by how quickly the eye is moving over the course of a couple hours. look at the size of the storm bearing down on the carolinas, likely going to make landfall as a category 4 or category 5 hurricane. the latest update came in about five minutes ago, still a category 4 at the center of the storm right around the ring of that eye, 140 mile-per-hour sustained winds. landfall is likely to occur thursday afternoon. that's two days from now. we'll see significant impacts along the north carolina coastline and the other problem is it's going to stall once it moves inland. there's no steering current whatsoever. so all the rain the storm will bring is going to be over the same area, the carolinas north to virginia anywhere from 10 to 20 inches of rainfall by saturday. so if it was just the storm surge, that would be a huge problem. if it was just the wind, that would be a huge problem. if it was just the rain, that would be a huge problem. all three are happening in this area over the next couple days. we'll be back with the local forecast in a few minutes. bay area crews will be helping in the aftermath of hurricane florence and oakland- based task force 4 was deployed to the east coast this morning. they are an urban search and rescue team. meantime president trump has been in close contact with the

kpix5's len ramirez is live at a rally that's just getting underway. len? >> reporter: that's right, ken. folk are gathering here at this new homeless camp called hope village. they're hoping to not only preserve this carp, but use it as a model for -- camp, but use it as a future model camp in san jose. hope village is unlike any other homeless encampment in san jose. it's clean, organized and hidden behind a security fence. 10 spacious tents are placed onto wooden platforms. there are showers, a porta- potty service and garbage pickup. there's just one problem. it doesn't have permission. >> the condition people live in is intolerable. >> reporter: peter maron say thousands of people in the streets in san jose are living in inhumane conditions. they took over this unused parking lot owned by the state unemployment office on ruff drive and set up camp using only private donations. >> we feel morally compelled to do something to improve the quality of people's life, give them relief from being on the street. this we think is a model that can be replicated. >> reporter: one of the seven people who for now call this home says it gives him a sense of security. >> it's wonderful. i can leave my stuff securely and go do job searches. i can't do that if i'm living under a bridge, where i was. >> reporter: but this may all be coming to a quick end. the unemployment office reported this as a trespassing and called in the chp. the camp was served with a 72 hour eviction notice. residents plan to stay forcing a showdown and may be arrested if it comes to that. >> things are not okay the way they are. we aren't going to cooperate. things need to change. >> reporter: folks now have until thursday before that eviction notice will take effect. they say some of the tents will be moved out just because they don't want to lose them and they may be taken up in any kind of sweep that happens here, but they will stay. they want to make a point this is the type of thing san jose needs more of, not less of. live in san jose, len ramirez, kpix5. people around the bay area are paying tribute today remembering those who lost their lives 17 years ago on 9/11. here's
