getting 2 of my sausage croissants with a freshly cracked egg for just $5.50 means you've already won the day. add a sweet cream iced coffee for an extra buck with any breakfast item between 6 and 11 a.m. at jack, every bite's a big deal. welcome to jack in the box! flag warnings, but also excessive heat wave and warnings as well, so it makes it challenging. >> we smelled smoke and see it, and also we could see helicopters coming in. >> a busy day for firefighters all across the bay area as they battle several new fires that broke out today. good evening. i'm ama daetz and i'm julian

glover. >> the dry and gusty conditions are creating excessive fire danger. >> we have abc seven news team coverage with reporter cornell bernard in napa county talking to fire evacuees. >> but first, let's get to meteorologist sandhya patel for the very latest on those high temperatures. and also that red flag fire danger. sandhya. >> yeah. julian and ama that fire danger has been extended as the heat wave is going to continue even longer than originally expected yesterday. so let's talk about what's happening right now. it's 107 degrees in concord. a scorcher in livermore, 105 degrees. you will notice 100 in fremont, 99 in san jose. current temperatures 104 in santa rosa and fairfield. we do have that excessive heat warning that has been extended until next tuesday at 11 p.m. the heat advisory until that time period as well shaded in orange there except for san francisco that will expire thursday evening. now we take a look at the fire conditions up north of calistoga, and it is still hot and dry and gusty, which is

precisely why the red flag warning has also been extended until friday morning for the north and east bay hills and the santa cruz mountains. combination of gusty winds, low humidity and dry vegetation is keeping that fire danger elevated moderate to high. this evening we go into tomorrow morning and once again we're going to be in that high to very high category for our hilltops. in addition to all of this, we also have that spare the air that god extended through tomorrow. you can see why the air quality will be poor, not just in the inland east bay, but in the santa clara valley as well. so it's up today. it's going to continue tomorrow. i'll be back with a full look at that accuweather seven day forecast, which features the heat wave for days ama all right. we'll check back. thank you. sandhya. mandatory evacuation orders are in place in parts of butte county because of the thompson fire. this is time lapse video from a p-g-and-e's camera broke out around 1145 this morning, just outside of oroville, and has already consumed more than 1600 acres. the evacuation order

is impacting a section of oroville and several small communities northeast of town. other parts of oroville are underway and under an evacuation warning, including oroville hospital. no word yet of any structures burned or the cause. the fire is 0% contained. >> okay, let's get you to the north bay now, where that fire is triggering evacuation orders. just about 30 minutes ago, fire officials announced that forward progress to the toll fire. it's been stopped in the fire is about 10% contained. still, roughly 40 acres have burned so far. abc seven news reporter cornell bernard is near the fire lines. he joins us live with the latest on the conditions. cornell. thankfully, a positive update from those firefighters. >> yeah, definitely. julian firefighters getting an upper hand on this fire. but it has been a very long, hot, scary day for homeowners here in the napa valley. more than 100 forced to leave their homes early this morning. smoke from the toll fire can still be seen up on the

ridge here. more than 300 firefighters on the ground working in brutal conditions. it's about 104 degrees right now with strong red flag winds. cal fire crews doing battle in wine country where the toll fire started tuesday morning in rugged jericho canyon outside the town of calistoga. >> our crews have been doing a phenomenal job, not just ground resources, but also air resources as well. >> firefighting aircraft. and choppers dropping retardant and water almost nonstop for several hours. but the weather, the biggest challenge here extreme heat and red flag fire conditions. making it tough makes it challenging. >> as you can see back here, we're in a very steep slope, very steep area. so adding that contributing that to the mild, mild to moderate wind conditions that we have and dry dryness of the vegetation. it makes it

challenging for our crews to be able to gain access and be able to suppress the fire. >> as we could see flames on the hill. uh- approximately. i don't know, maybe half a mile away. >> george and joanie hahn are among 150 homeowners evacuated on old lolli toll road. george grabbed this video of a cal fire plane fighting the fire near his house. >> grab some artwork and took some kids photos and put them in the car. >> we show george and joanie their home through the lens of our news camera, and luckily their home still standing. >> this morning i was up very early. the wind was howling and if it would have been wind like it was, this morning, our house price wouldn't be there right now. >> this fire burning near the same area as the glass fire back in 2020, a triggering scene for many locals who lost their homes. >> that was really, really scar. i mean, it was like choking smoke uh- couldn't see in front of you, you know, it was like end of days.

>> an evacuation orders are still in place here. an evacuation point has been set up by the red cross in downtown calistoga at the community center. it is also a cooling center. cal fire says the cause of this fire is still under investigation. and the firefight behind me continues today. live in calistoga. cornell, bernard. abc seven news, cornell. >> thank you so much. and now we move to solano county, where a grass fire dubbed the denverton fire is burning in an area where the group, california forever is planning to build a new city. crews say they have stopped forward. progress of the fire burned 470 acres about two miles south of travis air force base. at one point, the fire triggered the closure of westbound lanes of highway 12 at scollie lane when high winds and dry conditions increase our wildfire risk, p-g-and-e's issues a public safety power shut off. >> you may also hear us call it a psps. right now. the power is off in parts of the bay area in pockets of napa, sonoma and solano counties. due to this

psps on this live p-g-and-e's map, the purple triangles are the locations where the power is currently off. you see a couple of them up there. a p-g-and-e's says 146 customers in the bay area are under the psps, mostly in solano county. the estimated restoration time is set for 10 p.m. p-g-and-e's says more planned outages are expected tomorrow in the same ten counties as today in the east bay fire. >> investigators are looking into whether fireworks ignited this fire along grizzly peak boulevard near the berkeley, oakland, orinda border. crews say they received a call of illegal fireworks going off in the area last night, shortly before that fire started. no one was hurt. no buildings were damaged. crews were able to keep the fire to about two acres. >> more than 500 pounds of illegal fireworks are off the streets in oakland. police say they seized a large fireworks stash found inside of a car near sixth avenue and foothill boulevard. the confiscated fireworks have been turned over to the oakland fire department for proper disposal in the south bay.

>> fire officials are urgently warning people to avoid illegal fireworks. officials are working to curtail use by hosting a first of its kind 4th of july celebration in one part of san jose. abc seven news south bay reporter zach fuentes has more. >> i'm hoping to have a blast this 4th of july weekend. san jose city officials are all for it, as long as it doesn't involve illegal fireworks. >> the decision to use illegal fireworks, in my opinion, as the fire chief is a decision to put the community at risk. >> san jose firefighters have already had a challenging year, with the number of vegetation fires skyrocketing each month and the month of february, they responded to 18. fast forward to june, that number was 255, and vegetation fires aren't the only worry. >> losing a finger, losing eyesight, being being critically injured because of misuse of fireworks, all types of fireworks, even the kind labeled safe and sane, are banned in san jose. >> and if you're caught with

them, the fines and penalties can be steep fines for illegal fireworks are $1,000 per first violation, $2,000 for a second violation, and $3,000 for a third violation. >> the sale of fireworks may result up to $50,000 in fines, as well as jail time, depending on the quantity of illegal fireworks seized. >> one thing highlighted by fire officials today is that you can get in trouble, not just for using illegal fireworks, hosting a party where they're being used, or selling illegal fireworks. you can also get in trouble for spectating participation in the activity of illegal fireworks use is going to be penalized, but the city is hosting two major events for san jose residents to watch fireworks in a safe, legal environment. the annual almaden lake event is returning, and now, for the first time, east san jose is getting a city sponsored event at lake cunningham park. >> by creating a hub and a safe place for people to come and enjoy fireworks. that's my hope that we will deter any illegal activities from happening. >> that lake cunningham event

starts at 7 p.m. on july 4th, with fireworks at 9 p.m. in the meantime, locals are encouraged to report illegal fireworks use by calling 3-1-1. they can also expect to see signs like this across the city, reminding everyone of the consequences. in san jose, zach fuentes, abc seven news and stay with abc seven. >> as we track the heat wave. we'll have more updates on the fires and a list of cooling centers across the bay area. just go to abc seven news.com or the abc seven bay area app. >> in some developing news here, we're learning more about the elderly woman who died after being shoved into an oncoming bart train. police say 74 year old corazon dandan was pushed at san francisco's bart powell street station, hit her head on the approaching train and fell on the platform. it all happened just after 11:00 last night as dan dan was heading home after working as a telephone operator at the marriott in union square. police say they have arrested a homeless man at the station who now faces charges of murder and elder abuse. >> a driver is now facing four

felony charges in a deadly crash at a bus stop in san francisco's west portal neighborhood. the collision in march killed a family of four, and the 78 year old driver is going to face four counts of vehicular manslaughter. a report from the sfmta says the driver was on the wrong side of the road and speeding at the time. district attorney brooke jenkins says the initial investigation shows no indication the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or suffering from a medical issue. the vehicle was also found to be fully functional. the incident led to proposed changes to the traffic flow in the neighborhood, but they were put on hold. >> the oakland city council has passed a new multibillion dollar budget. abc seven news reporter anser hassan has been following the budget process over the past week. he has more on what's included in this new budget. >> in order to close our current deficit in may, oakland mayor shengtao submitted a proposed budget which includes more than $100 million from the sale of the oakland coliseum property. >> then on tuesday, the finance department submitted a revised budget proposal that does not

include that money. >> it's technically presented as an alternative, but in reality, we know that it is the only option. >> oakland city council member janani ramachandran says it's fiscally irresponsible for the city council to plan a budget to include the deal with no sale date in sight. >> investors are going to want to take their time and be wise before they put that much money out here. >> that translates to $63 million in potential budget cuts, mostly to the general fund. a lion's share of the general fund goes to oakland police and fire. cuts may include 100 police jobs by freezing positions, closing four fire stations and some funding reductions to violence prevention programs. >> unfortunately, because of the time crunch, council's power is really being taken away in this situation. so we don't have we don't have time effectively to go through the budget, ask our questions and propose amendments. >> ramachandran says the forecast is that oakland will face a deficit for the next five years. one issue oakland's general fund is heavily reliant

on revenue generated by taxes. ramachandran says higher interest rates means home sales have slowed, which in turn means less revenue for the city. but she also points out that the city hasn't been aggressive in collecting business taxes. >> the city of oakland has missed out on over $50 million of uncollected business license taxes. >> uc berkeley professor dan lindheim is the former oakland city administrator. he says oakland's financial health may not be as dire as the numbers suggest. >> oakland has about 400 other funds and so the other things are not at difficulty. it's only the general fund. and. >> he says oakland's leadership, dating back several years, should have been more prudent in spending tax revenues that would offset periods of drops in revenues, such as. now, he points to a major reduction in real estate transfer taxes, about $50 million. that would have gone to the general fund. >> all of a sudden they're hit with this major reduction in

revenue. and it's just really hard to adjust quickly to that major reduction. >> lindheim adds that bonds and parcel taxes aren't solutions either, because that money doesn't go to the general fund. ramachandran says city council will likely ask for an extension to the june 30th budget deadline. in oakland, anser hassan abc seven news. >> and we are also awaiting word on whether the city council took up a resolution on the recall of mayor sheng tao. if approved, it would place the recall on the november general election ballot. oakland voters would be voting on two recalls in november. if this happens. the recall of alameda county district attorney pamela price was already approved for voters throughout the county. >> still ahead, opposing efforts to roll back proposition 47, the republican backed initiative already on the november ballot, and governor newsom's competing proposal will have those details when abc seven n

a power outage is looming. that's just alert, he's always getting worked up about something. flex alerts notify us of preventable power outages. that way we always know when to help stop one. ok flex, just drop some knowledge on me again. oh, ok i will - i'll turn our thermostat to 78... i'll unplug the blender. the hair dryer. - my blankie? - yep! - let's talk about it! - nope. ooo, we can save the laundry til' the morning! oh, yes please! oh! little things like this help save our power and help save us from outages. with flex alerts, the power is ours.

kept people who commit low level crimes out of jail. but opponents say it emboldened thieves. >> now there are two competing measures to reform prop 47. abc seven news reporter suzanne phan breaks it all down. across the bay area, we've seen shoplifters snatching items from store shelves. back in 2014, state voters passed proposition 47 to relieve jail overcrowding. but some people blame prop 47 for letting thieves get away. now there are two competing measures to reform prop 47. >> we could have dueling. we could have two measures competing for voters support. >> both work to address retail theft and drug addiction, specifically the fentanyl crisi. stephen clark is a legal analyst and former district attorney. >> this is going to come down to

politics. who gets this message out? better to the public. everyone wants to champion the idea that prop 47 needs to be tweaked and needs to be changed. >> a republican backed ballot initiative to roll back prop 47 would boost penalties for some theft and drug offenses. that measure is backed by the district attorney's association and the mayors of san jose and san francisco. it's already on the november ballot. the second measure, senate bill 1381, still requires legislative approval to get on to the november ballot. governor newsom, democrat leaders and the california retailers association all support the bill, which cracks down on retail theft and the deadly drug fentanyl. critics say it's a weaker crime initiative. some worry the competing measures could confuse voters. >> while they have taken some steps forward with this proposal, they've also taken one giant leap backward by removing the tools we need to get people into treatment. >> on this tuesday, san jose

mayor matt mehan addressed both prop 47 reform measures, the measure that's already qualified for the ballot. >> the da's measure includes the ability after multiple offenses to have court ordered treatment. >> he says the most important goal is to get people into treatment. >> i want to make sure that both measures, if both are on the ballot, give us the tools at the local level to compel people to get the help that they need in san jose. >> suzanne vaughn, abc seven news. >> coming up on abc seven news at five, it is a great day to head out to the beach. a live look here at santa cruz. after the break, we'll check back in with meteorologist sandhya patel for details

>> it certainly is. sandy. i was trying to explain heat exhaustion to my child today.

oh, just drink more water. drink more water. stay in the shade. yeah, absolutely. >> and avoid being outdoors during the time that it's really hot. almond julian. that's one of those things where the heat can be taxing, especially when it's day after day after day. so take it easy. hydrate, drink plenty of fluids. here's a look at your heat risk for tomorrow. we're talking about major to extreme heat risk inland. as we go into day two of this heat wave. today is day one. and look at these temperatures up 19 degrees compared to 24 hours ago in san francisco and hayward. you can see 12 degrees warmer in oakland. santa cruz might be the place to go to escape the heat. certainly people have that idea here. san francisco 81 right now, 86, in oakland, it's in the upper 90s in san jose, 96 degrees in redwood city right now from our sutro tower camera, we're seeing plenty of sun 104 degrees in santa rosa, vacavill, close to 110 at this hour. that's just brutal. 107 in concord and livermore is in the

triple digits as well. high pressure is the dominant feature, and it's just going to sit here for a couple of days, eventually move over california and then just sit overhead, which is why this heat wave is going to last all the way through early next week from our emeryville camera, seen a little bit of haze, which is why that spare the air has been extended through tomorrow. dangerous heat wave continues into next week. we're talking about high fire danger the next several days and temperatures will moderate inland early next week. but it's going to be quite the stretch through the holiday week before we see that change coming. so this evening at 6:00, 620 you're looking at triple digits inland. still 60s near the coastline. you will notice it's going to be a slow, cool down inland area is still in the 90s at 10:00, 80s and 90s right near the beaches. getting that relief into the 50s. and then heading into tomorrow morning, there might be a patch or two of fog along the coast, but overall it's going to be a quick warm up once again by noontime. we're looking at those triple digits and in the early to middle part of the afternoon,

heading up into that dangerous category. once again tomorrow evening, it's going to be a slow cool off. we still have that coastal flood advisory due to higher than normal tides until 11 p.m. tomorrow. minor low lying flooding is expected once again, so just be careful in case you're getting out and about to take a walk, especially early part of the day tomorrow morning, mid 50s to the upper seconds. most areas will start off clear except for a patch or two of fog along the coast tomorrow afternoon in the south bay. 102 in gilroy, 100 degrees in san jose on the peninsula. mid 90s palo alto, mountain view 99. in redwood city, 72, in half moon bay, downtown san francisco 88 degrees 82, in the sunset district, north bay. temperatures. this is really well above average in that dangerous category. once again, 107. in calistoga, 106 in santa rosa, 100 in san rafael in the east bay, 92 oakland, 94, in san leandro, 96 in fremont, head inland and you're up to 110 degrees in fairfield. once

again. 109 in concord, livermore 107 in pleasanton. as we look ahead to 4th of july, not much relief. you will notice. still some triple digits inland, right near the coast in the 70s and around the bay 80s and 90s. here's your accuweather seven day forecast. we're looking at once again, brutal heat day two of this extreme heat 110 inland 70s coast side sizzling for the 4th of july. we don't have to worry about any fog interfering. the heat wave continues, not just friday, but through the holiday weekend. you will notice, though, the temperatures begin to moderate the second half especially, and then by early next week, we're talking 100 in the hottest inland areas. so there will be some back off, but it's not really cooler. >> and julian yeah yeah it's still hot. >> yeah appreciate it.
