A rough day at around 3 oclock today you can see right now they have their firefighters here theyre wrapping up their hoses so obviously this is becoming under control here at this hour. Its been a crazy afternoon 9 alarms have been wrong in the city of South San Francisco. This fire only about a mile away from another grass fire that broke out around noon. A massive column of smoke could be seen pouring out of sine hill in South San Francisco today blowing over the 2. 80 freeway burning the grass around the iconic sign that greets people driving north on one oh one that reads South San Francisco, the Industrial City with the hot temperatures and breezy conditions, lots of resources were thrown at this blaze, it went to a 5th alarm plus a cal fire alarm which brought in air support. It got uncomfortably close to homes several streets were evacuated. As many as 3 homes on Mountain Road were scorched to the fire bump up against a couple of but their were able to make a quick stop and knock it down before the fire got interior, so theres just an accidental damage to those on the letters on the hillside are made of cement and seemed to glean even wider next to the black in the grass. Not long after that fire was contained another fire broke out just a few blocks away from the south City Emergency Command Center on starlite street. Burning in the heart of the Industrial City, it pumped out thick black smoke fire could be seen erupting from the roof workers from a business nearby watched as firefighters poured water on it from above always in the back shop and then a gentleman from another stop cross the sevens by smoke coming from one of the building behind you. So we went out and notice started it was just pummeling outside of the back. Luckily, it next to us. But we think its a bakery thats on starlite state that bystander marveling at seen 2 major fires burning in his city. On the same day we actually saw the nofire yeah its been a crazy day. Absolutely crazy day be the one good news, no injuries in either of these 2 fires, they are both under investigation at this time they dont believe these 2 places are related at all even though youre so close in proximity. Grant vicki back to you. All right. Maureen kelly live for us tonight in South San Francisco. Fortunate that things ended the way they did didnt this just in from South San Francisco fire all mandatory evacuations have been lifted except 4 Mountain Road. So good news there. Now to a developing story in the far crews are responding to a grass fire in vacaville long. I 80 fires assisting in the fouralarm fire chp has issued a severe Traffic Alert on westbound 80 near midway at this time all lanes are blocked and drivers should expect delays on this friday night as traffic is being diverted off midway well bring you more details there is they come into our news fires as a red flag warning has been extended. In some parts of the bay area until 8 oclock. Tomorrow morning you see on the right on the screen there South San Francisco near that chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow joins us now with a look at that current fire conditions and large we just have to get through this next stretch here. Yeah, know theyve unfortunately been extended but the winds boy this is just a stubborn ridge so keeping those offshore winds in control now likely will be that way for at least another 12 hours or so then were going to see us with right now that dry northerly wind continuing across the bay area we have some pretty impressive gusts overnight again last night. Into early in the morning in fact some of those gusts 63 miles an hour mount saint helene a job low 41 mile an hour gusts and really across lot of the east bay, some of those winds of almost 40 Miles Per Hour mount on them calm down little bit remember yesterday were gusting as high as low 50s today, 70 mile hour gusts. In healdsburg just above their on hawkeye we had a gust of 47 Miles Per Hour and the Oakland Hills gusting to 40 miles an hour. So certainly dangerous fire conditions bone dry out there as well some of the relative humidity dropping down to 10 even less than that so red flag warnings continuing now until 6 oclock in the evening for much of the bay area but then things begin to change the next part will be in the east bay hills that are expecting these red flag warnings to continue until 08 00am tomorrow still could see some 2030 mile an hour gusts across the mountain tops maybe a little bit stronger across some of the higher peaks, the humidity though it is just so drive a fire breaks out those kind of conditions it will spread rapidly also in the north bay expecting 20 to 30 mile an hour winds. And its very dry there. The humidity down to about 12 to 20 . So certainly dry enough that should a fire start with those kind of winds it will move rapidly right now were not seeing a whole lot of wind down lower areas of course we have a lot of those gusty winds early on now most the winds confined to the mountain top just some light winds out there right now but overnight tonight weve got another round of some winds developing mainly in the north they not going to be a strong as it was can see as we take you through the night see the colors developing in the north bay, the rest the bay area looking fairly calm compared to what we had and then i think as we get through the day tomorrow. I think were looking pretty good actually well see a little bit of a sea breeze by the afternoon. That means some much cooler temperatures ahead and less fire danger as well guys. Thank you.
