5:02 am
going well above 100 degrees later on this afternoon. inland, it is going to be very hot around the bay shoreline. it is going to be hot as well. we have a lot of sunshine. we're going into the 90s around the bay shoreline. even along the coast it will be warm, but this is the place to go if you really want to beat the heat. we'll have those daytime highs in the upper 60s and lower 70s. so we have the excessive heat warning, the heat advisories. in effect this will last until sunday evening. we'll take a closer look at today's temperatures coming up in a few minutes. let's check in with frank and see how the drive times are going. >> all right drew, good morning everyone. we're off to a really good start this tuesday morning. it's quiet on the roads right now. no major accidents or troubles reported. live shot of the golden gate bridge. don't even see any cars across the span. traffic will probably be light this week for the 4th of july holiday. and as we look at the drive time, traffic, maps, it's green everywhere except for that westbound 205 and 580 ride to the altamont pass out of tracy. for all the early birds this morning and moves pretty quickly. but once you connect,
5:03 am
you see traffic slowing down to 16mph on 580. so the drive time from tracy to dublin right now is 41 minutes. but it's green on southbound 680 as you make your way from dublin down to fremont and also northbound 85 101 to cupertino is 16 minutes. reggie. thanks, francis. >> we know the high fire danger is on a lot of your minds. if you live in the east bay hills, especially after last night when a fire burned along grizzly pig boulevard near the berkeley oakland orinda border, people started seeing flames around 930. it's not clear what sparked the flames. crews say they received an initial call of illegal fireworks going off in the area, and an abc seven news crew did see what appeared to be a box of fireworks on the side of the road. fire officials say no one was hurt and no structures were damaged. crews were able to keep the fire to about two acres. now that high fire danger and dangerous heat have prompted east bay regional parks to close some areas for the rest of the week. more than two dozen parks are off limits,
5:04 am
including the trails at tilden park. anthony chabot regional park and round valley regional preserve. they'll be closed until at least friday morning. park officials say swim facilities and shoreline regional parks will remain open, with the heat taking over. >> the bay area. doctors are warning everyone to be careful. abc seven news reporter lena howland joining us live in the east bay with some ways that we can all stay safe and especially with people looking for places to stay cool over these next few days. >> kumasi good morning. that's right. we are at the wave in dublin and this water park is just one of many places where folks will be looking to beat the heat and cool off during this heat wave. now, keep in mind, temperatures here in the east bay are forecasted to be above 110 degrees this week, making it the hottest weather in a couple of years. it's weather that is especially dangerous for anyone working outside like victor davila. we spoke with him while he was out with his little
5:05 am
brother. he works part time detailing cars and does most of that work outside. >> i pretty much do it outside almost every other day, so i'm a little scared. i'm a little scared on that end. but we'll see, we'll see. we'll start sweating and definitely stay hydrated. >> even young, healthy people that are going out for hikes and spending time out of the heat can really be impacted by this. if they don't prepare. >> doctors are warning people to be careful during the heat wave, cramping, excessive sweating and dizziness are all warning signs. the heat is taking its toll, so their advice drink plenty of water. be sure to find some shade and stay inside when you can. live in dublin lena howland abc seven news. >> thank you lena. new this morning the biden administration is expected to propose new regulations today to protect millions of workers exposed to dangerous heat on the job. they include farm workers, delivery
5:06 am
construction workers, landscapers and kitchen cooks. if this is finalized, the measure would protect an estimated 36 million u.s. workers from injuries related to heat exposure on the job, establishing the first major federal safety standard of its kind. it would require employers to take action once temperatures reached 80 degrees by giving workers access to drinking water, break areas where they can cool off and rest breaks when needed. keep the abc seven, bay area apps and abc seven news.com handy throughout this heat wave, so you can stay up to date on the latest forecasts. you have access to the same live doppler seven tools drew in the weather team are using, and we have a list of cooling centers that are open across the bay area. we'll send those alerts right to your phone if there are any important updates. >> the oakland city council is tackling two big issues today. they're expected to vote on a budget and decide whether to place a recall of mayor shengtao on the november ballot. they're expected to approve that recall resolution. organizers started this process months ago over
5:07 am
crime and economic concerns in oakland. last month, the city clerk said. recall organizers had gathered enough signatures. two days after the clerk's announcement, the fbi raided mayor tao's home as part of a broader investigation. the mayor says she has done nothing wrong. the oakland city council will also vote on its budget. they'll have to decide between two versions one which factors in the sale of the coliseum, which has not been finalized yet, and another that calls for major cuts. supporters of the plan that includes the stadium sale say they are confident in the deal, and they are open to including contingency plans if that sale doesn't go through. but others in the city council are calling that plan fiscally irresponsible. >> san jose police have made six more arrests in connection with a violent sideshow incident that hurt an officer. one driver is charged with hitting a spectator at this sideshow. back on june 15th. according to police, an officer tried to help the injured person, but other spectators swarmed his patrol car, leaving that officer hurt.
5:08 am
>> if you attack a san jose police officer attempting to help an injured person so you can become famous on tiktok, it's possible you may escape consequences for hours or days, but be assured we will find you. we will arrest you. >> police believe they've arrested everyone who damaged the car and attacked the officer this morning. >> some neighbors near dolores park in san francisco are calling on the city and police to put an end to the annual event known as the dolores hill bomb. this is when skateboarders zoomed down one of the steepest hills in the city. the unsanctioned event has been happening for a decade, and it's set to happen again this weekend. police are hoping to avoid a repeat of last year, when that event ended in one of the largest mass arrests in the city's history. as abc seven news reporter tim john shows us, there's already tension between skaters, community members and police. >> dozens came out monday night for a special community meeting hosted by the san francisco
5:09 am
police department. the meeting, which got heated at times, was called in advance of the dolores park hill bomb on saturday, an annual skating event that normally draws hundreds. but after years of frustration for neighbors and the arrest of almost 100 people, many of them teenagers last year, some in the area are calling for the police to put an end to the unsanctioned event. >> people running through the park throwing bottles and throwing other items, jumping on the street car, stopping it, spray painting it. >> caroline kennedy was one of many neighbors who spoke monday night. she believes the city should stop the event. this week until it can find a way to have it safely. who shows up to an event that's supposed to be fun and peaceful with what the police found when they confiscated things from people they arrested knives, guns, you know, spray, pepper spray, pepper. many in the skater community, however, want the event to continue. they say it's a minority of people who are actually causing trouble. >> i think when you make a space safe and welcoming, crime is less likely to happen. crime is a symptom of broader social
5:10 am
unrest. >> erin breit war is a skating advocate. he says he's been trying to work with city officials on the event for months, but has gotten nowhere. witwer tells us it's frustrating that the city is having this community outreach event now, merely days before the hill bomb is set to happen. >> i have not seen evidence that we are engaging in that comprehensive set of questions tonight or prior. the city has had plenty of notice and opportunity to conduct outreach no matter what happens this year, police say they'll be ready in case things get out of control. >> and chief scott says they won't hesitate to make arrests for illegal activity. but with no formal organizers and planning for hill bomb, what happened saturday is anyone's guess. >> i would encourage people not to show up while we sit down and try to figure this out, you know , these things pop up online, and then all of a sudden we have to respond to them. >> the city is also still dealing with last year's hill bomb. it's currently facing pending litigation over the arrest in san francisco. tim johns abc seven news 5-10 this

francis. developing news on a fast moving wildfire that's prompting evacuations outside fresno. the basin fire is burning in the sierra national forest, threatening a camp where p-g-and-e's workers live. this fire started last wednesday, and it's burned more than 13,000 acres. firefighters say the flames are burning throughout through through dense and very dry grass, and containment is at 17. of course, we know firefighters are on alert this week with that combination of hot weather and then the 4th of july holiday and the fireworks that often come along with that. in addition to the usual tools, the alameda county fire department is boosting its staffing and rolling out new plans, including a newly formed hand crew and volunteers on call. >> one of the uh- best assets and a fighting chance. we have is a bulldozer able to eliminate fuels and put a perimeter in. alameda county fire department has three dozers staffing two of them, and will be up staffing for this red flag warning event. and through the 4th of july, safe and sane fireworks are
5:34 am
allowed in newark, union city and dublin. >> it's up to individuals to use them responsibly. where permitted. parents will be held liable for any damage kids cause. >> p-g-and-e's warned about the possibility of limited power shut offs due to fire risk earlier this week. overnight they started and this is the outage map. now the purple triangles are the areas where the power is turned off. you can see they are in small areas of napa, sonoma and solano counties. pg and e does this to reduce the risk of their equipment starting a fire. the heat could also stress transformers pg and e is installing portable transformers in areas with the most intense heat, and replacing dozens more that can handle higher loads. >> when we have this 24 hour extreme heat, our equipment, specifically our transformers, don't have an opportunity to cool down, and that can create stress in our equipment, which can lead to heat related power outages. >> cal iso, which monitors the state's power grid, says power
5:35 am
supplies are adequate for now, but it's keeping an eye on the grid for potential impacts. and if you're headed to beaches across the bay area to beat the heat this week, chances are you're not going to be alone. the california highway patrol says people can expect heavy traffic as they make their way to the coast. the agency advises for drivers to have patience. roadway traffic, along with limited parking at some of our local beaches, can make for a difficult experience. preparing for a long drive this week, officials say you should check your vehicle's coolant levels and make sure the air conditioner is working properly before you head out with the heat expected to last this long and few chances to cool off overnight, this week could really take a toll on our bodies. >> abc seven news reporter lena howland live in the east bay with some ways that we can stay cool and safe, lena. >> hey, kumasi, good morning to you. we are at the wave in dublin, where this is expected to be one of the more busy places in the east bay. as folks look for a bit of relief from this heat. now they don't open
5:36 am
