battling the blaze faced outside temperatures of over 100 degrees. >> steep terrain really hot, so a lot of hard work trying to get hose up to that fire for the firefighters that were on the ground. >> this is the first major fire to break out in the north bay this season. fire officials say they're prepared for a potentially busy summer. they're urging everyone who lives in a fire zone to make sure they two are ready. >> everything is drying out. we start to see the end of may in the north bay. at least here, that fire activity really start to pick up the cause of this fire is still under investigation, but morris says she's just thankful for the quick action preventing this from possibly becoming so much worse. >> i'm just so grateful. so grateful. immediate response. they just they care and they're here for us. so i'm my house is here because they saved it in the glass fire. so they did it again. >> now cal fire says they are expected to have crews out here throughout the night and into thursday morning. just doing everything they can to make sure

, placing some of the blame on the drug crisis that's plagued the city. she says. that's just one of the issues kids are facing. >> we know that there are challenges within our public school system here, as well as a number of other things that, you know, some kids go through having incarcerated parents, having parents who have passed away. >> as for where she came up with the name, the district attorney provided a very simple explanation in it's titled access to hope because in my view, so many people end up in the criminal justice system because they are hopeless, and so they end up making poor choices because they feel they have nothing to lose. former san francisco supervisor malia cohen was one of those in attendance for tonight's announcement. she's currently the state comptroller, but recognizes the significance of what the district attorney's office is trying to accomplish. i think this is paramount. this is a game changer. the initiative includes a partnership with the sojourn project. it takes students to the deep south to learn about some of the key moments and people in the civil rights movement, cohen says. it is vital to expose youth to the

past to build a better future. coming from the african american culture and the diaspora, we firmly believe that you have to know your past so that you are not destined to repeat it. and people can apply right now for the fellowships through the district attorney's office official website. it's open to anyone between the ages of 14 and 24 at san francisco city hall today, mayor london breed said she was the target of racist and sexist graffiti sprayed overnight. >> this is not unfamiliar to me. i do deal with this every day, whether it's, you know, things that have said on social media as well as emails that i receive that describe me as exactly what was on this wall or even in front of my own home. >> the mayor says employees found the graffiti when they arrived for work this morning. the department of public works was quick to respond, as well as the sheriff's office. there is surveillance video, apparently, and mayor breed says the san francisco police department is investigating. >> time to get into tonight's abc seven news advancer at 11.

in 2023. >> cal poly, on the other hand, has as more applicants than they can take, and so some of those students are going to see an opportunity and there's more at cal maritime than just maritime. >> so out of all the csu's, why do you feel like cal poly is the right fit to pair with cal maritime? >> well, the title itself, cal poly polytechnical. well, cal maritime is polytechnic cal paula meaning many technical. obviously maritime technical issues. >> we spoke with vallejo mayor robert mcconnell. >> we had actually discussed the possibility of cal maritime being merged several months ago. >> as far as a name change, that's undecided for now. mayor mcconnell says cal maritime alumni are very loyal to the name. >> they would not look favorably. i think, upon a cal state identity. they will insist that the cal maritime name be preserved forever. >> the csu board of trustees

will vote on the integration in november in the south bay. lauren martinez abc seven news. >> one more note under the proposed merger, the vallejo campus would remain open where students could participate in cal maritime's specialized degree programs. but the school's leadership and operations would be merged with cal poly san luis obispo. cal maritime students would also be able to access programs and resources currently available only at cal poly. >> we have been closely following the student protests and demonstrations at college campuses across the country, and now the tensions have boiled over at stanford, 13 current and former students were arrested and taken to jail after taking over the school president's office. officials claim the building sustained extensive damage, including inflammatory graffiti on the walls. they say protesters shoved and injured a public safety officer this afternoon. demonstrators rallied outside the jail, calling for the release of those arrested while back on campus. others blasted the university for removing their pro-palestinian

encampment following this morning's incident. >> i think that it's cowardly. they're retaliating against the entire encampment uh, even though they already arrested the students. so obviously it's a retaliatory action. >> the university issued a statement saying it is appalled by the actions of the group, adding that if any of the students arrested today were seniors, they will not be allowed to graduate. >> coming up, another dead whale discovered in san francisco bay. it's now concerning researchers for a second time this year, plus another chain going bankrupt. >> the reasons rubio's grill says it has now. it is now filing for chapter 11 and free throws for free burritos, the deal from chipotle and the nba finals, and how you can get in on this. and abc seven is your home for the nba finals. game one is tomorrow. coverage of the dallas mavericks and boston celtics starts at 5 p.m. we'll have after the game hosted by abc seven news sports director larry beil, with special guest warriors guard brandon pisemsky. that will be followed at nine by
