We have some new video to show you from overnight to give you an idea of just how crazy it was at least down here in the olympic park.

They will also have a lot of changes with those temperatures going up and down and of course more gusty winds over the next few days. Taking a live look outside in San Francisco, all clear, lets go throughout that school day forecast, where it starts out chilly and we will still have a cool day, more clouds in the mix and highs there in the upper 50s. Mike, you spotted some red sensors. Red means it feels like youre stopped, barely crawling and that really is unusualw÷wbo where4hn this construction s i think thats what, if anything, going on.

We have one to two fires a day and when you respond together and you put your lives on the line, you do have to surround yourself with experts. And for us the expert in gas and electric is pg e. We run about 2,500 2,800 fire calls a year and on almost every one of those calls pg e is responding to that call as well. And so when we show up to a fire and pg e shows up with us it makes a tremendous team during a moment of crisis. I rely on them, the firefighters in this department rely on them, and so we have to practice safety everyday. Utilizing pg es talent and expertise in that area trains our firefighters on the gas or electric aspect of a fire and when we have an emergency situation we are going to be much more skilled and prepared to mitigate that emergency for all concerned. The things we do every single day that puts ourselves in harms way, and to have a partner that is so skilled at what they do is indispensable, and i couldnt ask for a better partner.
