Now lets go to bill martin who is monitoring the latest conditions that firefighters are facing out there right now. Bill, what is it like . Reporter well, first of all, coming off the 4th of july, we talk about it, but weve had so many fires due to fireworks and then you get a dry pattern, just i. E. Summer. You can see the fairfield area. The fire moves pretty quickly with some of the winds were seeing. Now, the firefighting conditions, this is all typical for this time of year. This is not a red flag warning environment. This is july. But this is what july looks like. You can see which way the winds are coming from. This area, there was a fire, obviously, the california fire. You have winds in the california fire up to 25, 30 miles an hour. You a 22 mile an hour wind at hercules. Humidity 44 . Other than the wind, 79 degrees and 44 humidity, or 37 humidity down at the parkway, thats pretty good for firefighters. They love that. Were getting less humidity down to the park in cruz fire. These fires have been burn fog are a while. 21 at gilroy, but you look off frazier, 44 . Thats most air coming off the salinas region there. Now here is the thing, wind is hard to fight fires in, but you have low temperatures, or mild temperatures for this time of year, and youve got pretty decent humidity. So the winds should back down a little bit tonight, and they should be able to get more of a handle on these fires. As you look out in the distance, you can see some haze from some of those fires up around airline and crockett. The haze in the upper atmosphere. So air quality not so great, but, again, this time of year, julie, its always a tough one. People coming off the 4th of july, and you still hear fireworks in the neighborhoods at night, and it is dry. Even though its not hot, it is dry. I think firefighters will have a better opportunity to get on top of this thing, though, with cooler atmospherics tomorrow, and winds dying down tonight. All right, thank you, bill. 4th of july revelers slowed oakland firefighters response to an emergency call saturday night, as hundreds of people gathered in the streets at lake shore and brooklyn avenues.

He was taken to an area hospital, but died from his injuries. A male adult was also injured, but is expected to recover from he wounds. Neither of those individuals were thought to be the targets of this shooting. Police want anyone with information about who pulled the trigger the this case to come forward. Its an open homicide investigation, so there not a lot i can add right now as far as progress in the investigation, except to say that we are doing everything we can to bring resolution for this child and his family and for the people of our city. I did just have an opportunity to visit with the family. Ive spoken with the father, as well as ive had conversations with the mother and folks representing the family, and this is an experience that i, as a grandfather, as a father, as someone who has worked with young people, the majority of my adult life, would never wish anyone have to experience. And its just beyond words. San franciscos District Attorney also releasing a Statement Today reading in part quote my office and i are absolutely devastated to learn of the tragic murder of jace young, a sixyearold boy fatally shot this weekend in the bayview. My team is working hard to support his family. The District Attorney goes on to ask anyone with information to provide that information to homicide investigators. Now, at this point, frank, you were asking about suspects. Police have said theyre looking for two males in connection with this case, and they are investigating, looking for those two males in connection with this case, and also trying to look for the target in this shooting, because, as we said before, the two people who were shot, young jace young and that other adult male victim, apparently not the intended targets of this shooting. Still a lot of developments to come on this case. Well be monitoring those developments and bring you the latest, but for now, live in San Francisco, fox 2 news. Its so hard to imagine what that family is going through right now. All right, christian, thank you. The 4th of july weekend was marked by devastating gun violence across the country. In new york, there were more than 40 shootings, and in chicago, more than 75 people were shot and at least 14 killed, including a 14yearold boy and a 7yearold girl. This third week in row that children have been shot and killed if chicago. It hurts me that my youngest daughter is no longer here, that i would not be able to talk to her, hold her. Nationwide, at least six children were killed of the weekend, including in alabama, where an 8yearold was killed at a shopping mall. The violence comes as protesters continue to call for police reform. Chicagos mayor deployed an extra 1200 officers to prepare for the weekend, and Chicagos Police superintendent, who is relatively new to the city, is pleading that the code of silence be broken at the very least for the sake of children in the city of chicago. Now to the coronavirus and some breaking news. The California Assembly has now indefinitely postponed its session. One lawmaker, whose name has not been released, and four workers at the state capital, have tested positive for covid 19. Here are the latest numbers right now. There are more than 271,000 cases of covid19 in california. 6,337 people have now died in our state.

Tom joins us now with the latest on californias five month battle gains the virus. Tom . Well, consider this, the first case was confirmed on january 26th. Today we have more than 270,000. We really need to get back to a focus on how to safely reopen our economy. Reporter as of today, there are 23 counties being closely monitored on the california covid19 watch list, due to excessive increases in the spread. While santa clara is now off, others are now on. From july 2nd to yesterday, 10 state agencies con accept traited on six residence of the state. Our enforcement was prioritized on parts of the state where we have known violators, where we have high risk workplaces, to address the bad actors, the folks that are simply just disregarding these orders. Reporter the state got some pushback from officials in a few counties. To the extent that local officials are unwilling or unable to enforce, then we will step up our enforcement at the state level in a more targeted way. Reporter but most folks are complying. Alcohol beverage alcohol investigators visited almost 6,000 licensees, but issued only 52 citations. The overwhelming majority of doing the right thing. Reporter the daily testing right is now over 100,000, and the percentage of positives have climbed 7. 2 in the last 7 days, to a 7day new case average of 7876. With 5790 people now in the hospital, that rate has increased 50 in the last two weeks. The greatest concern . Icu admissions have increased by 39 over the last two weeks. But in recent days, covid19 deaths have declined to 18 on saturday, and 6 yesterday. Hopefully and far bet are than the 56 deaths a day over the last two weeks, but not a reliable trend. The rising tide of infections is attributed to decidedly younger californians. Not surprisingly, the young invincables, as we refer to them, young folks that just feel they are invincable, that its not going to impact them, and if it does, knight big burden.

It shows the woman painting over a black lives matter mural that was painted on a street in martinez. Kristina is here now with more on all of the attention this mural is getting. Frank, the organitold me he knew this would invoke some type of response. He said the conversation that is happening now is long overdue. Black lives matter, those three words sprawled across a street in martinez have become the talk of the town and the country. Black lives matter go back home you go back home reporter this viral video shows a woman painting over the black lives matter mural the same day it was put up there. And ill tell you what, it irritated my soul, because i have my kids all three of my kids are mixed, okay . Reporter the phrase was painted in response to white supremacist flyers put up the city a week earlier. As we are very aware that it could be vandalized. I was just more so shocked at how brazen it was. That vandalism occurred an hour after we finished, and then we were down here just moment later and we fixed it. Reporter this image of a racial slur on a parking garage circulated on the app next door. Were told the Police Officer painted over it. And Police Officers arrested a man for pointing a gun the mural site that drive by and said all how lives matter. Black lives matter, as well. Reporter the comments positive and negative. Trying to change something so important as this and so engrained in this is not going to be easy. Theres going to be resistance to it, but it has provoked an immune response to this virus we call racism. Reporter words of support now chalked around the phrase. Its elevated this conversation about black lives that were having here in martinez to a national scale, and its just been i never thought this is what would happen with just a public art installation and solidarity with our black community. Wes have a company have a long way to go, but he if friday martinez, 8 years, and 8 years ago, this would have never been a reality. We understand plans are in the workforce armor permanent art installation to happen at another location in the city, and volunteers are keeping watch on the murals over the street. An lgbtq pride flag has been placed in front of Zuckerberg San Francisco general hospital. It is displayed in the hospitals entrance on 23rd and utah street. The hospital said its a way to reclaim the good name of s. F. General hospital. Back now to breaking news. A grass fire that is burning in fairfield on Mountain Meadow drive, and its prompted some evacuations. These are live pictures from sky fox. You can see there are homes in the neighborhood that are threatened. A lot of flames, a lot of smoke close to those homes, and also, again, were learning that there are some evacuations. Lets talk more about the fire danger now, bring in bill, our chief meteorologist. When you see the smoke burn like that, what are the conditions like . Well, you know, frank, have a good west wind. Humidities are relatively high. But when you see that smoke plume laid dune like that, its going who dontle to the ground, thats a pretty robust wind. So 25 to 30 mile an hour winds in this area not unusual by any stretch of the imagination. Certainly something to be concerned with, because you can see structures in the path of that fire, and any kind of wind with a fire like this in that open brush, that stuff burns really, really, really fast. And you may even notice. I can see this picture, but one thing i would note about this is, there are some trees and oaks in there, and theyre not really catching, so youre see hearing undercarriage, the undergrowth at the base of these trees. So its not a super hot fire, at least it doesnt appear to be from here. Looks like its burning the grass underneath, but that is dangerous, because it can blow quickly is cause issues for those structures. Does that make sense . Its in a tree, and the trees burn up, and its a hotter fire, but when it gets on the ground like that and doesnt even bother burning the trees. Thats where we are in fairfield right now. The winds, ill take you back to the bay. Well keep an eye on this one for you, obviously. This is one of the problems we have when we have a holiday thats based on fireworks in a state that isnt set up for this at all, and affection lot of illegal fireworks. Actually they were all illegal this year. I shouldnt say all, but i think most of them in the bay area were illegal, and thats what happens, days later, you see fires still continuing ting sparked. There is the wind, but the temperature and the humidity, because of the wind direction, are pretty good stead for the firefighters. In other words, the higher humidity helps a fun. Firefighters will have an opportunity to get a handle on the fires, but right now these winds are sort of at their max. Nsf o is gusting to 35. Not unusual, but certainly a concern for firefighters this afternoon. Bill, thank you. Well see you in a little bit. A new decision from the Supreme Court on the electoral college. Lauren blanchard with more on the unanimous ruling ahead of the 2020 election. And coming up on ktvu news at 6 00, a woman is now facing charges. Plus a surprising announcement from u. S. Immigrations and enforcement today, about whether International Students taking online classes are allowed to stay in the country. A major ruling from the u. S. Supreme court today. It comes about four months before the general election. Lauren blanchard tells us what the Supreme Court justices decided. Reporter another landmark decision out of the Supreme Court, this time the justices ruling unanimously, up Holding State laws that require electors to back the winning candidate in their states president ial race. Justice kagan writing the opinion. This case came after 10 so called faithless leathers did not vote for the candidate that won in their state in 2016. The court also up held a states ability to sanction or remove faithless electors who ignore the voting rules of their state. With races becoming more exit wish the justices sought to rule on the issue ahead of the 2020 election. When you have close elections, you have more room for error, and as the secretary of state said, that means more room for extortion or bribery. Reporter the Supreme Court still hats five more cases to decide this term, include one on whether or not the president can block the release of his financial records. Morn county reverses course.

A grass fire in fairfield on Mountain Meadow drive has prompted evacuation. If you look at this picture, you can see just how close the fire has come to that neighborhood there, where all of the homes are. Lots of flames, the smoke close to the homes, and you can see, too, that there is wind. Thats why the smoke is essentially laying town there and not going straight up. As we pan in, you get a good sense of just how close this fire is to the homes. Were still working to get information on how contained this fire is. What firefighters are saying about it, how many people have been evacuated. But, again, you can see from these pictures, a very dangerous and treacherous situation because the flames there are so close so that neighborhood on Mountain Meadow drive in fairfield. As we get more information, well be sure to pass it along to you. More on the coronavirus. The cases continue to rise here in the bay area. As of this afternoon, there have been close to 30,000 cases reported to Bay Area Health officials since the pandemic began. More than 600 people in the bay area have now died from the virus. Alameda county has reported the most cases with more than 6800, and santa clara has reported the most deaths with 161. Marin county was among the california counties added to the states watch list last week. Thats because of the fast rising covid19 infection rate. This comes as marin Health Officials last week allowed restaurants to offer Indoor Dining, only now to prohibit that starting today. Rob ross spoke with some Restaurant Owners today about the abrupt changes and joins us now with this report. Rob . Well, julian, marin countys covid19 curve has been trending upwards triggering safe guard, and for Restaurant Owners, it means one step forward and one step because. For many restaurants in marin county, it feels like bad case of whiplash. One week ago, they were allowed to open for Indoor Dining under certain restrictions, but as of monday, under new orders by the Marin County Health department, Indoor Dining is prohibited at least for the next three weeks. Out door eating is still allowed as is takeout. You dont really know what is coming next. Reporter this restaurant in novato said it brought back 7 employees for done service. We brought back anothehired food runners and hosts, and, you know, unfortunately now for the next at least three weeks were not really going to need them. Reporter marin county is not just being monitored because of the outbreak at san quentin prison, but because of increasing cases in the community. Theres not a lot of ambient air and air movement in indoor dine, so people are getting exposed to a lot of air that other people are breathing, even if youre socially distanced. Reporter it was hoped that the restaurants would get used to endure dining, but the week it was allowed, only one person close to eat inside. Because we have the street closure on the weekends, people were more than happy and mostly wanted to be outdoors. I think being in a confined space is a scary spot for people to be in right now. Reporter a few doors down, another restaurant, the owner decided against reopening to dean dining last week, even though he could have. I saw the curve going up, so i had a feeling its not safe yet. In retrospect, i think everybody would admit that we opened things up more quickly than we should have, and i think looking back, were hopefully not going to make that mistake again. County Health Officials will decide in three weeks about Indoor Dining, depending on what direction that curve is headed. Rob ross, ktvu fox 2 news.

Texas emerges as one of the fastestfreeing hot spots, quickly running out of icu bids. Bust despite the uptick in cases, some forecasts there say they still wont wear a mask or practice social distancing. Its a false narrative, and when you wear a mask, what you can certainly do, you are further pushing the agenda that is condemning all of us reporter a handful of states are still easing restrictions, including new york city, the former epicenter of the outbreak, now moving into phase three reopening, but without Indoor Dining which had been scheduled to resume monday, drawing mixed reactions from new yorkers. There should be no Indoor Dining. Thats how i feel. You should open it up, but keep it limited in a way, keep like takeout limited.

Well see fog back at the coast. Ill have the fiveday forecast ready when i see you next. Othersly when the schedules released, its a little blip, a decent story, but nothing we make headlines over, because we all assume, yeah, we know there will be a season. This is a pretty big deal, because it looks like we are going to have baseball, although there are some questions. But lets put up a little graphic and give you, first of all, the giants and as highlights. July 23rd, San Francisco, 7 00 down at dodgers stadium. Thats when the giants open their season. The 28th will be the home opener versus the padres. August 21st to the 23rd, theyre going to host Madison Bumgarner and the padres. In their first 33 games, the giants are scheduled to face the dodgers 10 times. So thats a talent laden team. Giants better be ready. For the as schedule, july 24th at 7 10, the as versus the angels, and august 7th through the 9th, theyll be hosting the astros who are the favored team basically in the entire american league. September 18th through the 20th, that will be the bay bridge series, hosting the giants. December 27th, thats the regular season for the as against the mariners. The as will travel the fourth most of any Major League Team as it currently sits. Now, i mentioned the makes and the possibilities and the doubters are out there, however about this . 40 divisional games, 10 each against each opponent. 20 interleague games. The giants and as play each other six times. Thats a few of the quirks. But when you look at the schedule and then you look at what is really going on, it might be Wishful Thinking in a big way, as the testing delays led to the as canceling their workouts yesterday. The astros canceled todays practice. Major League Baseball is blaming that on a lab in utah that werent prepared for the holiday weekend, and this is a startling quote from jake deekman, strongest comment ive heard yet, i feel like this is just gonna get shut down in a week, or all the players are going to opt out. So we go through the entire routine of give you the schedule, and obviously the guys who are really in there, the players working out, have some serious doubts as to whether or not Major League Baseball can carry this off, and of course i think it goes without mentioning right now anyway these games are planned with no fans in the stands, frank and julie. Mark, thank you. The nhl said today that they have reached a tentative agreement with the Players Union to hold the playoffs.

Back to the breaking news. The grass fire in fairfield that has prompted evacuations. These are live pictures. Apologize for being so far away, but, again, you do get a sense of what is going on. If we were closer, you would be able to see that homes are threatened, as the flames inch very close to those neighborhoods. Weve just heard from authorities about road closures near the fire. The following residents are being evacuated. Discover pine pearl, early amber court, sierra court. Link road between pitman road are closed, and cordelia road between link road and thomasen line is also closed. Lets go over to bill martin, our chief meteorologist. You were talking about the fire danger. Obviously we had all of the fires started by the illegal fireworks, but theres just an overall fire danger here in the bay area. You just cant be too care. Regards, right. Regards of a holiday that celebrates fire crackers and sparklers. So much of this stuff was illegal this year. Kids will be kids, and they kit get their hands 0 on this stuff and go up into the hills days later, and these hills are, as we know, ready to burn. I cant say that any of these are from fireworks, but im just saying well, in San Francisco, there were 100 fires on the 4th of july and 98 were caused by fireworks. So you can do the calculus on there. The humidities are high. Temperatures mild for this time of year. The winds are strong. Near not extreme. Its just this is the time of night where the wind up in hayward gets going 22 mile as far as the fires, it looks as though theyre them overnigh tonight as the winds will die down, humidities will come up, and the temperatures will drop. Its going to linger tomorrow, and thats why temperatures will be further cooled, and there will be a little more fog at the coast. There was fog this morning. Fog returns tomorrow. You can see the sea breeze in green. And you can so i its 10 degrees cooler in fairfield. Makes a big difference when it cools off at night for firefighters. Theyll tell you that every time. Humidities come up, temperatures cool off. If you can get that wind to get down to 10 to 15 miles per hour, which it will, firefighters will have a better chance at getting a handle on these fires. 89 in a fairfield tomorrow. 84 in napa. Livermore at 84. Pleasanton at 84. Temperatures sort of hover for you back here at 6 00. All right, were see you then, bill. Thank you.
