upcoming holiday and weekend across the bay area, infrastructure is feeling the strain, with thousands without power across the region tuesday night. that includes in concord, where outages affected everything from restaurants to hotels to normally crowded streets. some of that power has since been restored, though one expert from uc berkeley's energy institute at haas says things could be much worse. that's because of the massive upgrades the state has done to its power grid in recent years to help reduce the chance of flex alerts, which ask californians to reduce their energy use. >> the biggest change we've seen over the last few years is a massive installation of batteries. if you go back four years, california had essentially no batteries to store power. >> and cal iso says the state's power grid is currently stable and they are not forecasting supply shortfalls. they say they've gone into what's called a restricted maintenance operation. that means operators

will avoid taking equipment offline for routine maintenance, assuring all generators and transmission lines are available to supply higher loads. and the good news is there hasn't been a need to issue any flex alerts so far this week. live in walnut creek. lena howland, abc seven news. >> thank you lena. the contra costa fire protection district district is advising you to avoid hiking trails. many local and regional parks are closing down because of the heat. mount diablo state park is shut down and it may stay closed into the weekend. mine ridge open space in concord is closed, as are many walnut creek open spaces and parks. east bay regional parks shut down a long list of places through the end of the weekend to coincide with this sustained heat wave. >> many east bay regional parks will remain open for visitors during this week's increased temperatures, including swim facilities and shoreline regional parks. unfortunately, we had to close some, hill and inland parks, due to the extreme fire conditions and heat.

>> if the sale of the coliseum site doesn't go through by september, this entire budget falls apart and then the city will be forced to slash millions of dollars in services. the recall of oakland mayor xiang tao is one step away from landing on the november general election ballot. the city council adopted the recall resolution yesterday, and there was a first reading of an ordinance to hold the recall on november fifth. the second reading will be on july 16th. oakland residents could be voting on two recalls in november. if this goes through the recall of alameda county district attorney pamela price has already been approved for the county's ballot. >> back to the heat now. san francisco hoping its public pools can help. take your mind off the heat this week. all nine of them will be free today because it's so hot. they are all indoor pools except for mission community pool on linden street. now let's take a live look at our camera from pier 39, the ferris wheel. back at the waterfront. and according to the

reasonably you know, foreseeably cause death. >> the driver is currently not in custody, but we're told authorities are working with her attorneys in the middle of this heat wave. >> we are facing high fire danger and illegal fireworks can easily spark a fire. more than 500 pounds of illegal fireworks are now off the streets of oakland. look at this. police say they seized seized a large fireworks stash inside a car near sixth avenue and foothill boulevard. these fireworks have now been turned over to the oakland fire department to be disposed in the south bay. >> fire officials are working to stop illegal fireworks by hosting a first of its kind 4th of july celebration. in one part of san jose. the city is hosting two major events for residents to watch fireworks in a safe environment. the annual almaden lake event. and 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.

have sunny skies and temperatures going into the 70s. your ocean water temperature is in the mid 50s right now. let's get a check of the drive times. gloria. >> good morning. good morning drew. so far we have no major issues, just your usual morning traffic. you can see a live look right now from our emeryville camera. and right now it is filling in on the westbound side. but again, no major incidents or issues this morning. look at your drive times from tracy to dublin. 38 minutes dublin to mission boulevard south 16 minutes and 101 to cupertino 16 minutes and a live look outside right now at the bay bridge. this gorgeous shot as the sun rises and nobody really will have any issues driving into the city. no delays right now, guys. >> thank you. gloria crews are dealing with a wildfire in wine country called the toll fire. it's burning in napa county. cal fire says it broke out near calistoga yesterday, prompting evacuations. now, that order has since been downgraded to a warning. cal fire says the fire has burned 50 acres so far. at last check, it's 15% contained. crews say the weather has been

the biggest challenge to 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 left right away. george took this video of a cal fire plane fighting the fire near his house, and, joanie, we showed excuse me, george and joanie, their home through the lens of our camera. that's a video that you just saw. luckily, it still standing. now the fire is burning in that same area as the glass fire did in 2020. and understandably, that's a triggering scene for many people

who lost their homes. >> then want to tell you about another fire, this time in 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. about two miles south of travis air force base at one point, that fire triggered the closure of westbound lanes of highway 12 at scali lane. >> one wildfire further north in butte county, now becoming a problem. it's called the thompson fire. cal fire is now saying it's burned more than 3000 acres right on the border of the town of oroville. 13,000 residents are now under evacuation orders after those flames broke out. there is no containment as fire teams from san francisco and san jose are on their way there to help out. we are entering day two of the bay area heat wave. the national weather service says this current heat wave is the longest they've ever issued at eight days. the previous longest was six days in 2017. the heat is

slowing down public transit. bart and caltrain have to run trains at much slower speeds when the temperatures get so high in the triple digits. many east bay parks are being shut down this week, including lime ridge and mount diablo state park, and the north bay town of yountville had to cancel its upcoming 4th of july celebration as a safety precaution this morning. >> people are still dealing with heat related power outages. abc seven news reporter lena howland is in the east bay, with impacts to customers there. lena. more outages could be coming today. >> hey, reggie. that's right. we're in walnut creek right now where the power is back on. but there are still more than 700 customers across contra costa county without power this morning. and given today's triple digit heat, we are expecting to see even more heat related outages. one expert from uc berkeley's energy institute at haas says major upgrades have been made to the state's energy grid over the last few years, including a massive installation of batteries. that's why they're

not expecting mass power outages like they've seen in the past this time around. but given the upcoming holiday and weekend they're expecting, today will likely be the day the grid is stressed the most. >> we still have people going to work, and it's going to be the second day of the heat wave, so buildings are going to be hotter and not have had a chance to cool down overnight. >> with triple digit heat expected across the east bay today, doctors are warning folks to take precautions. heat exhaustion can come on quickly and weather like this. symptoms include heavy sweating, cold, pale and clammy skin, a fast but weak pulse, nausea or vomiting, cramps or headaches, and dizziness. it can be treated by getting to a cool place. loosen clothing, take a cool bath, sip water and if your symptoms last longer than one hour, get medical help. now when it comes to heat stroke, the warning signs are much more serious and that's when you should be seeking immediate medical care.

however, not a time for panic. we are being very strategic in our response and we want to convey that to the general public. you have enough time, enough notice to take the necessary precautions, and the hurricane is packing 165mph winds. >> it's a strongest july hurricane on record. beryl's impacts on the u.s. remains unclear. it's expected to weaken in the gulf, and some models take it over southern texas next week. kumasi. >> thank you, gloria. there is a battle brewing in corporate america over returning to the office. coming up, the workers pushing back on mandates, forcing them to return in person, full time. first, though, a check of our forecast with drew. >> yeah. good morning kumasi. let's take you to tomorrow evening for the 4th of july and the fireworks forecast. and we are going to have clear skies around the entire region, even along the coastline. and at 9

p.m. on thursday, look at some of these. temperatures will be at 70 in oakland. and santa rosa will be at 85. in san jose, it will be warm at 84 degrees. redwood city, 78 and inland concord. it's still going to feel hot even by 9 p.m. tomorrow evening with a temperature of 90 degrees. but we will have good visibility for the fireworks. we'll take you to okay this morning, a live look outside. we have mainly clear skies. it is mild out there. we're at 66 in the airport, but downtown oakland is in the 70s. the oakland hills are in the mid 80s. so it is quite warm out there this morning. and it's going to be warming pretty quickly over the next couple of hours. so look at our temperatures. this is a six hour map showing you we warm fast even around the bay. shoreline will be in the 80s and 90s close to lunchtime. and that's excessive heat and heat advisories. they are in effect along with a red flag warning. this continues through friday for the north bay mountains, the east bay hills, and the santa cruz mountains. for that high fire danger. because of the combination of the hot

temperatures, low humidity and some gusty winds, here's a look at future weather. we warm very quickly. once again, this morning. lunchtime. it is downright hot. the only exception the immediate coastline remains immune from the excessive heat. that's where you want to go to beat the heat again, just like yesterday. so we'll have that dangerous heat inland well above 100 degrees 80s and 90s around the bay shoreline. the coast remains when you have moderate to severe eczema, it's okay to show off. with dupixent, show off your clearer skin and less itch. because you have plenty of reasons to show off your skin. with dupixent, the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists and allergists, you can stay ahead of your eczema. it helps block a key source of inflammation inside the body that can cause eczema to help heal your skin from within. many adults saw 90% clearer skin, some even achieved long-lasting clearer skin and fast itch relief after first dose.

serious allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems such as eye pain or vision changes including blurred vision, joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines without talking to your doctor. show off to the world. ask your eczema specialist about dupixent. 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.

years after the pandemic, it's clear the majority of workers across the country are not ready to go back in person, full time. gloria, remote workers are fighting back against these new mandates. >> they are kumasi the union that represents 6000 city employees in philadelphia, filed a lawsuit against the mayor. she wants him back in person full time starting on july 15th.

she's trying to entice workers with more generous parental leave. she insists that in-person workers create a more visible and accessible government. the lawsuit claims the mandate violates their contract and will make post-pandemic staffing shortages even worse. >> having that type of work flexibility allows folks to be able to be successful at work and be successful at home. >> and a recent study found hybrid workers are happier. many say they feel less drained, less stressed and less anxious. a court hearing on the philadelphia lawsuit is planned for next week. and before we go back to reggie, we're going to get a traffic alert right now, the metering lights are on at the bay bridge toll plaza, and right now from highway four to san francisco, it's going to take you 35 minutes, reggie. thanks, gloria. >> cal fire crews are going to get a shorter workweek. it's thanks to funding in the new state budget and a deal with their union. currently, crews work 72 hours on or three consecutive 24 hour shifts, and

then they have four days off or 96 hours. the new schedule will give them 48 hours on and 96 hours off. the change means cal fire will hire about 2400 new crew members across the state in the next five years, so we'll have more bodies on the fire line, and we'll also have more bodies to kind of shift around to give some of our members some time off. the new workweek will not be implemented for some time. both the agency and the union are working on scheduling shift patterns and a rollout plan. >> in southern california, lifeguards are getting a new tool to help save people during an emergency. the encinitas fire department just got new drones. they're equipped with regular and thermal cameras, along with a p.a. system. officials say they can be useful in a number of ways. >> we have cliff rescues. we have people that might be stranded in the water and need assistance. we could look for sharks if that is a sighting out there or something. we can go and determine if it's a real

shark or just a dolphin. >> authorities say the drones will help speed up emergency response times. >> san mateo county officials are doing what they can to keep beachgoers safe during the long, hot holiday weekend. they've launched a public safety campaign reminding visitors to, quote, be smart, play safe, stay aware. officials say drowning deaths are on the rise in the u.s. and the waters off our coast are treacherous, especially with rip currents and sneaker waves. >> it's imperative that we don't turn our backs to the ocean when we're out there. this weekend, especially with children, waves can come up in an instant, and unless people are understanding what the tides and the swells are doing, they can change very dramatically. >> and so officials are urging anyone with young children to choose a beach with lifeguards. >> could bay area native joey chestnut returned to the 4th of july? nathan's hot dog eating competition. in a new interview, he says he's not closing the door on it. chestnut tells sports illustrated he's open to a new deal that could have him
