Delta. You can see the devastation here. Firefighters have just gotten the blaze under control tonight. Good evening, im erik thomas. And im anna dates. Abc 7 News Reporter allen long has the very latest. Reporter you can see behind me theyre just now putting out the remnants of this fire. Its still burning very hot back there. But they say its under control. They finally got it under control about an hour ago. But the Solano CountySheriffs Department says it destroyed eight homes before they stopped it. This is the eighth home destroyed by this fire. It is still burning out there, but firefighters say the flames have reached all the way to the river so it no longer poses a threat. Now, the fire actually started after embers from the first one in collinsville blew about a half mile east of here. This is a Small Community across the San Joaquin River from pittsburg. It broke out around 1 30 and destroyed several homes and collinsville road. The winds were blowing at more than 20 Miles Per Hour and it took emergency crews at least 20 minutes to get here. Not much of a chance with the wind out here blowing. Like i say we was grabbing water hoses. The neighbors were grabbing water hoses, fire extinguishers, as fast as we could the faster the fire would spread. Its very far from a lot of our fire stations. As soon as the call came in we were rolling. A lot of very distraught people out here. Red cross is out here. They told the family they would be able to put them up in a hotel for three days. There are obviously several other people out here trying to find shelter and replace the things that they lost out here. This is a very Small Community. Its very tight. Coming back here, as you can tell behind meet winds are blowing pretty hard right now. A lot more than they were at 1 30. In fact, at last check they were about 30 Miles Per Hour out here. So even though they have it under control they have to worry about embers blowing. This one blew about half a mile from the original point and started that one. Now theyre trying to stop any spot fires that might pop up. Allen wang. Another fire is burning in sacramento. Huge plumes of smoke are filling the sky near cal expo. At one point firefighters say flames reached 200 feet in the air. The grandstand where tonights fireworks performance is scheduled has been evacuated. No structures have been damaged. Turning now to that wildfire in napa county, all roads surrounding the fire northwest of the lake are now open again and all evacuation orders have been lifted. The fire thated two homes has burned more than 4300 acres since tuesday. Its now 55 contained. Fire is a big concern for police and firefighters tonight. This is the scene every year on the fourth of july. Illegal fireworks everywhere. But this year the situation is more dire because of californias drought. Police and firefighters are out in large numbers tonight, hoping to prevent a disaster. We have Team Coverage tonight on the fireworks crackdown. We begin with abc7 News Reporter david louie in san jose with a closer look at the fireworks tonight. Reporter this hill right here is one of many the area firefighters are keeping an close watch on tonight because of the dry conditions and potential for fireworks accidents. Now, were toelgd that firefighters are very concerned that even when people use safe and sane fireworks they need to be responsible. Residents of this morgan hill neighborhood have been hearing fireworks go off for the past two weeks. Cal fire responded twice to san juan drive last night but cant do much unless they actually see the fireworks. People will try to get away with whatever they can, as human nature is. We try the best we can to limit those type of activities. Unfortunately, we cant get everything. All fireworks are banned throughout Santa Clara County except in the city of gillroy. But its apparent theyre not difficult to find and purchase. Last four or five nights, couple weeks, every now and then so the big ones that blow up in the sky and everything. Do you worry about that . My daughter does. She looks out the window and thought it would catch the house on fire. Some communities allow the sale of safe and sane fireworks, the kind that doesnt fly into the air or risk fire. Anyone can buy them even in a city where theyre banned. Well find a place we can discharge them safely. Were not going to get in trouble. But we look forward to enjoying it either way. Tile roofs have reduced the risk of fires from fire worngs. But the drought has left tinder dry grass which can ignite easily. Firefighters are hoping even users of safe and sane fireworks can be careful. Theres still a possibility of injury coming from the fireworks and also them starting fires. When it comes to safe and sane, i would add a third word which is reasonable while the fireworks are safe and sane the users have to be as safe and sane as they can be. In morgan hill, david louie, abc7 news. Our Team Coverage continues now with abc7 reporter vick lee live in San Francisco with a look at the crackdown on illegal fireworks. Vic . Reporter well, chinatown San Francisco has always been one of the most popular, if not the most popular marketplace for illegal fireworks during the fourth. There are still plenty of buyers here on the streets. You can see them all around. The problem is, many of these buyers are having a hard time finding the sellers. In the past chinatown streets were filled with sellers but not now. These last two july 4th holidays its been hard finding them. This man told us he spent all morning trying to find one. We left him still looking this. Person who did not want his name used said he too was having trouble. Couldnt find anything. Everybody seems to be really nervous right now. I was out here four months ago you walk into the store and say firecracker they pull stuff off the shelf. Now you walk in and everybody is like no no no. Reporter but he finally succeeded. He bought a box of small bottle rockets for 40. The runners, the street sellers, normally set off small fireworks on the streets to let people know theyre selling the big stuff. The runners are usually neighborhood teams trying to make extra money on this holiday week. The runners are nervous because of the police enforcement. On wednesday they arrested these three people who sold 22 m 1,000 fireworks to an undercover officer. M 1,000s are powerful explosives. The experts tell me you have one in your hand and you light it you could blow a hand off, blow an arm off. Its very dangerous. Police say internet sites like craigslist are running into the Street Runners business. You can find all kind of fireworks here. Just last week police raid add home in pitsburg and confiscated a ton of illegal fireworks being sold on craigslist. In chinatown you can still find them, but now many of the sales are being done in the safer confines of stores. You just have to know which ones. This store sells souvenirs. The fireworks are hidden under the cash register. When we were here there was a steady stream of customers. It seemed to be an open secret. Vic lee, abc7 news.
