Lets start with christina coleman, in california. Were learning that the president will be heading out west to see this for himself. Reporter yeah, the president will be coming to california to get a firsthand look at all of the damage. I am here hes going to be in Northern California. Im at the bobcat fire in southern california. Were standing in a canyon, between where helicopters are going to load up on water and where theyre going to drop it off on the hills up there. Theyre trying to stop those flames from flairing yo flairing up. Theres a helicopter circling the mountain, doing those water drops. According to a white house spokesperson, the president is expected to visit Sacramento County in Northern California, where he will be briefed by federal, state and local fire officials. The president approved a major disaster declaration for the golden state on august 14th. While firefighters are slowly starting to catch a bit of a break with the weather, the damage from the fires is devastating. So far this fire season, more than 6,000 homes and structures have been damaged or destroyed and at least 19 People Killed in california alone. Yesterday, gavin newsom toured some of the damage in Northern California. He says that Climate Change is taking its toll, with five of the top 20 of largest wildfires in californias history happening this year. Were in the midst of a climate emergency. Were in the midst of a climate crisis. We are experiencing weather conditions the likes of which weve never experienced in our lifetime. Were experiencing what so many people predicted, decades and decades ago. But all of that now is reality. Reporter washington and oregon also seeing record fires and destruction. Oregons Emergency Management director says they are preparing for a mass fatality event with dozens of people still listed as missing and thousands of homes and structures destroyed. At least a million acres have burned there. Eric. Eric christina, you can see the thick smoking choke in that video and you can see it behind you right now. What are the concerns about the air quality in these hardhit areas . Reporter well, the air quality right now is horrible. You can almost taste the smoke, thats just covering this entire area. On a normal september day, you would be able to see some of the hills just outside of this canyon but you cant because of all of this smoke pol pollution. There are smoky scenes like this up and down the west coast with some 60 active wildfires burning. The west has the worst air quality in the world. Portland, seattle, los angeles, have air quality indexes higher than 150 which is considered unhealthy. In some places the levels are so high its considered hazardous. People are advised to stay inside, especially with medical conditions and this dangerous air is expected to last at least throughout this weekend. Eric. Eric all right, christina. Thank you. Laura . Our team fox coverage continues with meteorologist adam klotz. So adam, i am from sacramento, california. I know all eyes are pointed to the sky and in sacramento you hope for that delta breeze to come through. Is the weather on the way for that region thats going to be helpful at all . Well, laura, things are improving there slightly this weekend, maybe the winds calm down and that often spreads the fire but the rain we need, Something Like that, may be still a few days off. The smoke forecast, we know the air quality is really bad across the west but upper level winds are beginning to grab this. You can see a haze across most of the country, getting thick across portions of canada. The smoke is being taken all the way across the atlantic ocean. Theres folks in europe that can see hazy sunsets because of the fires happening across the western portion of the United States, thats how big the wildfire season has been. Satellite and radar, you need a little bit of rain. You see its completely bone dry across the western United States. If you run out far enough, and this is our forecasted precipitation into next week, the only areas where we get any rain, just a little bit of Northern California and then right along the coast from oregon, up into washington. That will be good news. But mostly were still looking at dry conditions across this area, so still a lot of dry weather to concern yourself with. I do want to leave with whats happening in the at lainic the. Its atlantic. Its still hurricane season. A tropical depression is moveing across portions of south florida. This will run out into the gulf of mexico. The water is very warm. It will track over the warm water, likely a category 1 hurricane, were currently targeting maybe tuesday for landfall, laura. So a very active, busy scene really across the country as far as the weather goes. So much of to get to. Thank you so much, meteorologist adam klotz. Well talk to you soon. Eric for more on the serious situation in or of regone and the dangers o oregon and dangers that lie ahead for that state. Lets bring in matt howard from the forest incident management team. Whats the situation on the ground right now . You bet, eric. Thank you. We had an historic extreme wind event on september 7th that brought sustained east winds, 20 to 25 miles per hour, some gusts were up to 50 plus. Much of the state is in severe to extreme drought. And the moisture content in our live and dead fuels are critically low which makes the fuels highly receptive to ignition. So that combination of critical weather conditions, the highly receptive fuel load, along with some extreme terrain influences contribute to extreme fire behavior. That makes it fighting fire incredibly resistant to control. The First Responders were completely inundated with the sheer amount and magnitude of the fire along with the complicated conditions that come with fighting fire, the wild and urban interface. Im here on the 242 fire in South Central o oregon. The fire were managing is 14 you thousan14,640 of acres. Weve got a little over 315 firefighters assigned. Were near the community of choke in oregon. This fire is on the smaller side from what is going on on the west side of the cascades. But weve had thousands of citizens on evacuation orders for a few days. At our peak we evacuated 315 homes. Some of the complexities that were dealing with here and across the state, were near a major town, communication sites. Weve got a large Power Distribution line that was compromised by the fire with several towers down, numerous structures damaged or of destroyed, weve got a major Highway Infrastructure going through our fire and areas of eric matt, how do you protect those . And do you think the state has enough manpower and what do you you need to finally get these wildfires under control . You know, eric, our priorities have been and continue to be life safety of the public and our firefighters, were doing point protection on structures and trying to reestablish the power and the transportation infrastructure to keep us going. Right now, with the sheer magnitude of fire on the landscape, theres i believe First Responders are i know theyre doing everything they can, were just completely inundated with fire. The great thing i see out of this is the state coming together. Weve got First Responders and people from all walks of life ar. Our logging industry is stepg up to the plate with heavy equipment to help control these fires and establish a containment line around homes and structures. Ultimately, with the amount of fire on the landscape, what we need is some rain so if we can get some rain over this way the next week, thats surely going to help. Its not going to put the fires out but that will give us a little bit of relief so we can start working on containing these fires. Eric we saw meteorologist adam klotz a moment ago, show that there will be rain next week. But really on the western side of the state. Finally, matt. You think is that enough to try to start tamping this down . Some predictions say some of these fires will keep on burning and will burn right through the winter because its such a massive amount of fire and blazes. Yeah, you bet. I think these fires will continue to burn or have heat in them into the winter. You you know, some of these fires have 190 miles of perimeter. So physically to put containment lines around these, as many as we have, is a large feat. So well continue with point protection and life safety and securing these fires as best we can and we will be working into our fall rains and into the winter season, theres no doubt. Just the Fire Fighting and the Recovery Efforts afterwards are going to be just as critical, if not more critical. Eric 500,000 people face potential evacuation. There are fears it could reach portland. Our heart and thoughts are with you and the men and women fighting the frontlines. Matt howard, thank you for joining us. Thank you. President trump heading off to nevada later today for a Campaign Swing out west that includes stops in reno, las vegas and eventually phoenix. The Trump Campaign had to scrap its original rally plans in the silver state because they would have violated local Coronavirus Health guidelines. Mark a meredith is live in linden, nevada. Reporter its a beautiful morning where we are. The campaign has been scrambling all week to try to put together this west coast swing because of the covid restrictions. The president will hold his event tonight in minden. The president will make multiple stops and the campaign originally wanted to do this at the reno tahoe airport of, because of covid restrictions they had to change that, because of the gathering rules, requiring people to be less than 50 or so. The campaign chose a smaller airport, closer to carson city. We asked the campaign how they were able to do that with the restrictions still in place statewide. The Campaign Said if you can join tens of thousands of people protesting in the streets, gamble in a casino or burn down Small Businesses in riots, you can gather peacefully to hear from the president of the United States. Nevada is one of the states that everyone will be watching closely between now and election day. President trump lost this state four years ago by about 27,000 votes. The campaign putting a lot of resources into the state now and the chairwoman of the rnc says they believe they have a much better chance because of the Latino Community. Many of them appreciate what the president has done on immigration and were also not going to have a Third Party Candidate in nevada that steals votes away from the Republican Party this cycle. So we feel very good and thats why were heavily invested, the rnc has had a ground game there and its exciting to have the president out there tonight.

These hoping to energize the latino vote, after recent polls show the Biden Campaign is struggling on that front. Hillary vaughn is covering the bidenharris ticket. Shes in wilmington, delaware. We heard senator Bernie Sanders has his two cents chipping in in terms of the campaign. Reporter thats right. Senator Bernie Sanders is reportedly warning the Biden Campaign that they might lose in november if they dont make a hard left turn and cater their Campaign Pitch to appeal to more progressives. Sources tell the Washington Post that sanders is urging biden behind closed doors to appeal to the democratic socialist liberal base. Bidens former Campaign Manager saying in a statement to the post, quote, senator sanders is confident that joe biden is in a very strong position to win this election, but nevertheless, feels there are areas the campaign can continue to improve upon. He has been in direct contact with the biden team and also thinks that a stronger outreach to young people, the Latino Community and Progressive Movement will be a real help to the campaign. The report says sanders thinks that biden needs to get out more on the jail with young progressives like congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez and thinks that melen yall voters could be miffeed that some surrogates for sanders like aoc arent getting enough attention from the Biden Campaign today. It is isnt clear how willing ocasiocortez will be willing to campaign arm in arm with biden whose platform has moved more to the center in the general election. Sanders is not the only one worried about biden losing support from latinos after a poll showed President Trump getting more support from hispanics, especially among cuban americans. Biden is going to florida to a visit this tuesday and is out with three new Spanish Language ads airing in the Sunshine State on tv.
