Fours will tran has been getting these numbers and updated in live from the cal fire base in Scotts Valley. Well. So unfortunately that number gone up has gone up james and area, the containment number has not gone up still sitting at 19 containment, but they will take it because the acreage has not exploded look at this this fog here they love seeing this fog. It brings moisture rises the humidity raises the humidity and it brings it cooler makes a cooler for the firefighters who are working so hard to put out these fires. Let me show you some video of whats going on the fires continue to burn through santa cruz and san mateo counties right now were sitting at 80,138 acres thats only up however, 1000 acres from yesterday so these controlled burns that theyre doing. Its slowing down the fire eating through the hillside. So well see the numbers exploding. Unfortunately, the evacuees still not allowed to return at this time. But the hope is over the next day or so they will change the Evacuation Orders into evacuation warnings which means that you can return and that you are responsible for whatever happens to you so thats a little bit of good news for the evacuees and were talking about more than 77,000 people have been evacuated. Cal fire they had a News Conference a little bit earlier this morning which we carried live for you on the kron 00 04am morning news. Heres their happiness over their progression. The past couple days weve been able to make a significant progress on our fire fight. Weve been able to establish more lines can to improve those lines that we have establ that has not been evacuated dont be so alarmed those are more than likely controlled burns and those controlled burns are eating up to the vegetation in a controlled way so they want to get rid of it so when the fire moves there theres nothing left to burn for the fire which is why the stuxnet significantly slowed it down also helping the controlled burns. The sky there sending aircraft into the air and they expect another day of doing each day james and area they have dumped about 256,000 gallons of water every day just to give you perspective since this fire started on the days that they were able to go up in the air. So far they have dumped 100 excuse me one 0. 6 million gallons of water down to the fire and they expect to do more today back to you. All right, thanks a lot. Well. Also that fire the czu fire did go through the states oldest park in california. These are pictures of the Big Basin Redwoods State Park and what it looks like right now you can see some of the burned charred out. Trees there. Some of these redwood trees are close to 2000 years old and some of them did survive. So what theyre doing now is theyre going to look at the damage done to the trees and those that didnt topple over they can re sprout. So theyre going to be inspecting those trees in the coming days. Well continue our Team Coverage of jump to the north bay the lnu complex fires burning in and around Lake Berryessa and then you can see that large patch to the left there in sonoma county. These fires are burning across sonoma and napa and solano counties where nowak of those been evacuated portions of it anyway, proper Sarah Stinson is live in napa county with a closer look and some of the damage. Were seeing now with the morning sun sarah. James flames once roared above lake area so were im at right now and now you can see the charred land that is left and the burned down homes you can also see the homes that was that were spared by the flames look at the damage you can see lots of rubble and that is all that is left of some of these homes. And you can also see the terrain up here above Lake Berryessa were here on black oak lane off of from rock drive. And the look at this this is a perfect example you can see this home in the distance. It was spared by the flames, but you can see what a close call this was charred land all around it in yet it survived yet right across the way on this other ridge this home was not as lucky, you can see nothing quite left here at all, but then down the road here on black oak lane you can see those homes down there. They were able to stay standing in survive, so fires just not fair its its just crazy when you see. What burned and what didnt we do have good news for you though, at least were one step closer to people being able to return home because the more cal fire. Gets containment on the ellen new lightning complex the more people can be able to get let back into their communities. Its now 33 contained you can see in the video that i shot up on this Vantage Point i hiked up there show you just how this terrain is this home above Lake Berryessa and then all of the hills surrounding Lake Berryessa charred and burned, we know that so far. As i said we have a 33 contained. Its burned 357,000 acres and ellen you lightning complex and the hennessy fire which is where im at right now in napa county thats burned 80 of the total acres burned up here in the north bay hundreds of people evacuated from their homes when the fires first erupted over a week ago and ever since theyve been just standing by trying to be patient trying to ease their anxiety wondering what will be left this will be the most difficult part just the weeks coming where people go to their properties should i say and see if theres a home remaining 978 structures have been destroyed in this complex a complex and weve met a lot of people along the way who have described what theyre going through saying they just have this got in there feeling full, they have is the clothes left on their back and theres still some containment to go here we only have a 3rd of it contained in this complex in there still over 30,000 structures at risk but from my Vantage Point it looks like were in the recovery mode, im not seeing any active but theyre still working on containing it putting out hot spots in this area you can see i saw earlier a few hot spots smoldering. But the drive in here on highway one 21 1. 28 that are still closed off to the public. You can really get a good idea of how much burned when you hear the number 357,000 acres put in tell you see it with your own eyes. It just doesnt seem real now theres a press conference coming up at 11 oclock today and hopefully theyll give us a better idea of what they can do to try and contain this more and with their plan of attack is for the l a new lightning complex but for now ill send it back to you guys in the newsroom. All right, thanks latter. So lets head over to the east bay now we have the story of a local family sharing their pain after the scu complex fire ripped through their portion of livermore and decimated their property of the fires tore through the hills and minds or the hills i should say in the minds road area of livermore burning homes, displacing a number of families dominique friehling and his girlfriends family purchased this property for years ago and the family says their house. Well it didnt make it nearly everything is gone. Theyre just getting to the line a sleigh really doing a lot of there and then like this kindly. And the state has to read packed what we could the jeep was full to the brim we got everything that starts clothing in looking for documents but everything has pretty much their pictures and stuff like that. Well when they went to survey the damage of the weekend they were happy to find their cat you see. Kept their names tina she survived the fire but i see nothing else did. We have an interactive map on our website. The shows you all the different areas that the fires had hid and what the control or are they a containment numbers are right now as well as evacuation centers. That are open and one who is either our mornings or advisories that they should be out already so take a look at kron 4 dot com for very latest well be talking about how firefighters of mention that the weather has been sort of beneficial for them here. Yesterday, it looks like we may get im more of that to come here. John yeah finally guys weather cooperating and has definitely been beneficial last night an will again be tonight as we are seeing a nice deep marine layer pushing in across the bay pushing in some cool air and obviously a lot of fog across the bay area this morning, especially near the coast and into the east bay, this is definitely helped overnight with firefighting efforts. Well continue to do so into tomorrow too. Air quality has improved as well, especially near the coast now we still do have a couple of unhealthy pockets out in the east bay, especially right around vacaville and fairfield and once you head into the Santa Cruz Mountains of the south bay. You also run into some unhealthy pockets, but overall most of us have definitely enjoyed some relief from some of these hazy or conditions, 50s and 60s for current temperatures, its a cooler start to the morning and that eventually leads into a cooler finish to the day just around the corner and as sunshine returns a better chance to get outside today and not worry as much about the smoke as for the east bay right now nice and calm winds same for you in the south bay as that. Smoke has been replaced by a lot of fog pushing into the Santa Cruz Mountains which has certainly been nice. Daytime highs only in the 90s for a couple of cities while most of us in the 60s 70s or 80s. James. Thank you very much got coming up next doctor on the kron 4 morning news. Were just days.

The biggest covid blow up so far is at the university of alabama where more than 560 students tested positive in just the first week. And you can see why with all of these bars and restaurants packed and hardly anybody following the rules, you know youre supposed to do wear a mask, wash your hands and dont lick your fingers, even if youre eating kfc Kentucky Fried Chicken which prides itself on being Finger Lickin good is blurring out its famous slogan because they dont want to catch covid now theyre not saying you have to use a knife and a fork but at least a napkin james. And i really want to eat Fried Chicken with a knife and a fork you and i know this about you i think you eat pizza that way too bars to that is an american just a front for right now, but now look whos laughing its true.

You know 15 minutes find out then youre negative then you can check it. But the problem is like for example usc its People Living off campus right now those kids are not going through the same rigorous and so. Theres friday and we dont realize offcampus parties and i mean we saw this coming these are kids that have been. Cooped up all summer long for a lot of them first year off to college. Yeah expect them to stay in the dorm. It was unrealistic for us to expect that they were going to hate themselves. Well with an honor those universities that are having a really strict. Almost like a closed campus like their own bubbles. Like the nba is doing some are doing that and those kids the odds of them following the rules are going to be much greater mean i have to wait to see i want updates.

Now this afternoon, some of the smoke is going to settle back down it already is in the Central Valley and some of our inland valleys so do watch out for hayes yet again later on today. But overall much more mild day and air quality in general has improved as we make our way into the evening tonight, another push of fog with the cool coastal breeze will be pushing back inland. Its going help to sweep things out yet again and make for what should be a pretty solid morning as far as air quality goes again for your thursday mornings, this is all good stuff to be talking about firefighters are welcoming this forecast with open arms 60s for your highs in San Francisco as well as right along the coastline today with temperatures on long the baby mostly in the 70s some really nice conditions seeing carlos redwood City Mountain view each in the low 80s.
