Live oak at the white house moments ago President Donald Trump says he and the first lady are awaiting coronavirus test results after a top aide tested positive for covid19. That aid flew with the president on air force one. This time in San Francisco union square is shutdown right now, police are investigating a shooting that happened after 5 00, we just got this video into the newsroom moments ago, police taped off the 100 block of gary street where there are a number of highend stores, we just learned one person has been detained for questioning, police are telling people to avoid the area, multiple buses are being rerouted. Crews are in the thick of it again in the north bay, battling fast moving flames in red like fire conditions. The fire now covers 88 square miles in napa and sonoma county, the biggest area of concern as the wind ramped up. The northern flank on the outskirts are at risk, People Living just outside city limits are being ordered to leave. I drove down here about two hours ago and it looks like it just started. With the flames moving was now a 17 mile stretch of the highway has been shut down, the closure spending its a middletown in lake county. We dont know whats going to happen. This year has been really crazy so as you well know theres fires everywhere. Residence right now are scrambling. Just hours ago helicopters were in this area making water drops, the skies for the most of the day have been gray and smoky so this has limited the amount of air support that they have been able to give and residents of this area. On the ground homeowners are trying to do everything they can to save their places. Reporter days ago roger lost his sister in deer park. The one special part about that was it was still fine. Reporter the fire shifted directions and now his property to the north is closer to the raging inferno. I can see the flames right there only one block away right on the other side of the hill. Last night i did not sleep one minute, just watching and cleaning gutters and moving all the stuff away from the houses. Reporter when it comes to the moment im going to take him. Ive been in a lot of firefights but all the other ones before this were with bullets. Reporter never leaving one behind he helped his neighbors setting up a sprinkler system. Its not worth my life but if i can do whatever i can do to save the houses i will do that. The wind would not shift and tonight i will not sleep. Homeowners have been going days and nights without rest trying to create more Defensible Space because the flames raced all the way up to this point just days ago, they said that they are going to stay here as long as they can tonight until the very last minute. This evening as expected the wind is starting to come into the area. Unfortunately we started off the day prior with an increase in fire activity in the east zone that was giving firefighters resources a run for their money. This wind just makes it so challenging for crews out there right now. Today was the wind shift so that change in wind direction means that the fire is able to spread in the direction that did not have any unconsumed fuel so we are going to be seeing the wind to the west and northwest picking up in intensity as we had through the day on friday, temperatures still hot away from the fire but underneath the smoke plumes the temperatures will not be quite as hot but its a steep price to pay and all the flame icons are the satellite indicated hotspots and you can see how many of them there are especially around st. Helena. Committee bone dry tomorrow in the range of 7 to 15 , the highest gusts above 1000 feet, thats where we have the red flag warning. Also a huge advisory expanded through tomorrow temperatures did not get quite as hot as anticipated because of that smoke over the bay area but pitchers inland are still well over the 90s with hotspots around 100 degrees. And the air quality is terrible its easy to pick out the malfunctioning sensors these are outdoor sensors, the ones that are not working are the ones that report good or moderate air quality. The ones in the unhealthier quality, limit your time outside we will be back with a look at how the smoke is going to behave over the next several days. As for how this fire got started we still dont know for sure but heres a clue, we saw an investigator on the scene of this fire near oakville grade. He was placing flags and evidence markers at the base of a steep hillside there, however he would not tell us much about exactly what he was looking for or what he found. Tonight People Living in the berkeley aerial hills fear a spark could create a disaster in these conditions. We have been up here all day long and just in the past half hour we started to feel the slightest bit of trees appear in these hills, its the thing people appear call home. With smoke from the last fire part of these bay hills it is not just the a qr that folks need to worry about, its the red flag conditions on the ground. Right now are looking at conditions hot dry and breezy which is a recipe for disaster. Even though 85 of homeowners past their Fire Department clearance inspections the city isnt taking chances with fire engines patrolling day and night until the threat passes. No barbecuing no discarding of cigarettes, no fireworks, we want to make sure people are taking every precaution they can and that includes no stopping your car along the hillside to send a text or check your phone. Check with your neighbors because if you need to evacuate you might need to take your neighbor with you. I was at the bottom of hillard drive right when the eucalyptus at the start of highway 13 exploded in front of us and i had a 9yearold in the car. Reporter back out here we are being asked not to go further and theyre asking you not to come out to the hills for the next few days until the threat passes, make sure the roads can remain passable to fire crews who are patrolling and could have to put out a fire anytime now.

Business is on hold at the winery in napa valley, they lost millions of dollars of inventory there, damage to the vineyards, the famous castle, the tasting room were left unscathed and the owner says business was already slow because of earlier fires and the pandemic. We sell 100 of our wind rights to the consumer who comes to the winery. A little bit mailorder and online but essentially everything is sold here. When we are out of business, i put my heart and soul into this project. It took almost 50 years to build this project. My dream castle. This heat has been trapping the smoke in place gradually shifting to the east in the next couple days so were going to see a cooldown in a stronger onshore breeze to improve your quality into the weekend, we dont have much moisture though to give substantial relief to the fire zone, we have the red flag warning in effect through six a clock on saturday morning for the higher terrain of the bay area, everybody above 1000 feet but especially along the classifier, the wind is going to cost up to 30 Miles Per Hour in the highest elevation and send its going to be hot with relative humidity levels as we talked about in the first segment dropping below 10 . The smoke is everywhere across the state right now but through the next few days things are going to gradually improve as the heat shifts to these, the wind is about two miles off the ground that directs where the smoke goes, some improvement along the coast but for most of us another day of poor air quality across the board. More improvement along the coast and along the bay as we had through the day on saturday but still a poor air quality downwind and into the tri valley and even parts of the santa clara valley. More improvement into the second half of the weekend as the onshore breeze strengthens, the fire itself is going to be producing abundant smoke. Still poor air quality anticipated but better for the rest of the bay area by the second half of the weekend. The epa is not as optimistic forecasting poor air quality unhealthy at least for sensitive groups and thats all the way through the beginning of next week but there are signs that things might get a little better by sunday and monday, plan for the worst and hope for the best when it comes to that air quality. Plenty of smoke in the atmosphere, its just hanging there and temperatures are still in the 80s, even downtown temperatures bounce back to about 80 degrees but were going to drop back into the 60s tonight, thats as far as we can go up or 60s and low 70s and high temperatures tomorrow are going to be hot once again around 80 degrees in the city but well into the 90s for most portions of the bay area. 98 and 99 for little more reaching up to around 100 degrees safely away from tomorrows record high temperatures in the city, san jose gets close. Tomorrows record is so hot, 106 but closer record territory in concord as well. Warm inland but temperatures back down through the weekend as that breeze gets stronger, maybe even slightly below average temperatures by the end of next week, something to look forward there.
