has constructed control lines completely around a wildfire that ignited in the past two hours, we're told the adams fire began as a structure fire on main street near highway 29, in lower lake. the flames quickly spread to vegetation, burning approximately 15 acres. the fire is now 15% contained, and cal fire says crews are conducting heavy mop up operations. you see some of the smoke in the video here. firefighters will remain on scene overnight. all evacuation orders have been lifted, which is some good news there. a rapidly growing wildfire in butte county has forced thousands of people to evacuate, and it's already destroyed homes and injured firefighters there. it's being called the thompson fire. governor newsom has declared a state of emergency. the fire is burning near oroville. abc7 news reporter j.r stone is here now and j.r. the state is telling us they are using every available tool to knock this fire down. >> well, they certainly are, julian. i was told by cal fire that 12,000 structures could be

that can cause the local community and area here. so officials for the dam and the fire officials were, on high alert and always checking and see where the progress is with that. >> i just feel awful, you know what i mean? i just feel really, really bad. it's to me, it's like it's such a celebrational weekend. such, you know, people should be celebrating right now and this is the last thing people need. >> yeah. very tough to see those images there. containment of this fire is at 0. those i talked with said in oroville it wasn't as smoky earlier today as it was last night, but that can be deceiving because it does not take long for winds to shift. not a surprise here, but oroville's 4th of july celebration for tomorrow has been canceled because of this fire. julian, we appreciate the update. >> thank you jr. you can see wildfires in california at a glance with our abc seven news wildfire tracker. you can find it on abc seven news.com/fire map. our wildfires getting worse in california. cal fire releases

but how is climate change impacting the extreme weather that's hitting the bay area right now and won't leave us any

time soon? abc seven news reporter anser hassan takes a look. summer is always hot, but experts say there's something important to understand about what's different about this current heat wave hitting the bay area. >> temperatures that you're about to experience. this week and maybe next week in california, would have been made virtually impossible without human induced climate change. >> shel winkley is a meteorologist and the weather and climate engagement specialist at climate central, a nonprofit that studies climate science. he says july is always the hottest month of the year in the bay area, but the intensity and the duration of these heat events are signs of climate change. >> i think the excessive length of this is the biggest teller, right? you can have a heat wave where maybe it's 1 or 2 days. but when it lasts for weeks on end, that's not that's not normal. that's abnormal. >> the national weather service issued a dire warning. it calls this current heat wave an exceptionally dangerous situation, going on to say,

quote, an event of this scale, magnitude and longevity will likely rival anything we've seen in the last 18 years. >> it's just barely hot events that we used to have 30 years ago will start to feel like, it's actually a little bit more than just a bit hot. it's actually a heat wave, right? >> the science suggests that the world is warming faster than at any other point in recorded history. greenhouse gas emissions, such as from the bay area's many refineries, trap in the sun's heat and are one of the leading causes of global warming and climate change. the hot temperatures pose big risks to human health and increases the risk of wildfires, but it will also impact infrastructure. >> we see buckling of roads, you see potholes in the wintertime, especially when you do these rapid shifts back and forth between hot and cold, winkley says. >> consumers can do their part by recycling and using renewable energy, and try to plant native plants to fight off co2 emissions in the east bay. anser hassan abc seven news.

the district attorney announced charges against the driver who crashed and killed a family of four earlier this year. >> and now we're learning what they found in that investigation. abc seven news reporter luz pena was in the neighborhood. she has the latest. >> still shaken by the horrific crash that ended the lives of a family of four outside this library, many in the west portal community are still grieving, something that's etched into this neighborhood and the community. just three months after the crash. san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins announced felony charges against the 78 year old driver that plowed into the family. these are felony vehicular manslaughter charges, which is the result of the gross negligence that occurred in causing this collision. after months of investigating, sfpd ruled out mechanical failure in this case. investigators believe the woman was driving anywhere between 65 to 72mph before crashing against the bus shelter. that was right here, where the family was waiting right after the accident. sfmta

and city officials proposed changes to the street. community members rallied against those changes, worried it would negatively impact local businesses. the da's findings now confirming what many in this community have been saying, going at the very high speed on the wrong side of the street. >> there's nothing, nothing you can do about it. the cause was not how we operate here, but it was driver error and that has now been confirmed by the da. >> the supervisor for this district said traffic changes are still needed. the community is now working with the city to develop those changes. >> we do have to change the way that we use that intersection. we have been working with the merchants to come up with something that everyone can live with, and i think we're there. >> as for the driver, she was arrested on tuesday and released wednesday on a $150,000 bail. in a statement, her attorney said in part she continues to mourn while she learns to live with this unspeakable reality and

added, we will review the evidence and take it one step at a time in presenting her defense. residents here view the charges as the beginning of justice for this family. >> what breaks my heart is the loss. i'm glad that they were able to hold people accountable in san francisco, luz pena, abc seven news. >> now to a seven on your side story uncovering the danger under too many dashboards, more than 6 million vehicles are still operating in the united states with dangerous recall to airbags. that's according to carfax. abc seven news i-team reporter melanie woodrow explains where some cars with recalls are still for sale. >> millions of vehicles travel across the bay area every day, and a percentage of them have recalled takata airbags. the national highway traffic safety administration has called it the largest and most complex safety recall in u.s. history. still, despite the nearly ten year old recall, millions of people are still at risk. patrick olson is editor in chief of carfax. >> there are more than 700,000

literal time bombs waiting in california for someone to get, and that's why we need to get these airbags out of these cars. >> our abc seven news data analyst standardized the data to account for the number of registered vehicles per state in california, there are 2046 unfixed takata airbags per 100,000 registered vehicles, putting california somewhere in the middle. when it comes to states with the most unfixed takata airbags per 100,000 registered vehicles, the issue is the chemicals inside the inflator. >> normally, when your car gets hit, they combine and explode and fill the airbag, which protects the passenger protects the driver. these airbags, though, when exposed over time to heat and humidity, develop moisture in those chemicals and that creates an explosion that far exceeds what everyone intended. that can turn the metal band around. the airbag into shrapnel, literally flying pieces of metal that go into the cabin of a car. >> while existing laws prohibit car dealers from selling a new car with an unfixed recall and prohibit rental companies from

renting a car with an unfixed recall. there is no existing law for used car sellers. >> congress has not acted to enact that. >> searching the web, i found a used car for sale in the bay area with an open recall for takata airbags. >> there's a recall on this car. >> this used car lot owner told me he didn't know before taking the car in question off the business's website, where it had been listed for sale, even though he wasn't doing anything wrong by selling it. did you know it had a recall on it? >> a lot of car had recall. >> nhtsa tells abc seven news it does not have authority to require used car dealerships to disclose an open recall to a buyer or potential buyer. the federal trade commission tells abc seven news. the used car rule does not have a requirement that open recalls be disclosed, but it does require that dealers attach a buyer's guide to the vehicle, which includes information about where consumers can search for open recalls on a vehicle. >> that's why it's important to look at your vehicle history report, get a mechanic to check out a car before you buy it to make sure you understand everything that could be wrong with it.

>> in march, three u.s. senators introduced the used car safety recall repair act, which, if passed, would require car dealers to repair any outstanding safety recalls in used cars prior to selling. leasing or loaning them to consumers. california congressman mark desaulnier is on the house committee on transportation and infrastructure. >> clearly, the senators bringing this up is appropriate that we need to really look at this. it's shocking to me. the numbers, and clearly there has to be something done. >> in the meantime, you can check the vin number of any vehicle you're purchasing on nhtsa's website to see whether or not there are any open recalls. nhtsa says 27 people in the united states have been killed by takata airbags, and at least 400 have been injured for seven. on your side melanie woodrow, abc seven news. >> we have an update now from the abc seven news i-team on a story we've covered for five years. today, a court made a major decision in the case of two bay area men convicted of killing a plainclothes police officer in rome. an italian appeals court upheld the convictions of finnegan elder

and gabriel natale-hjorth, but reduced their sentences to 15 and 11 years, respectively. they initially received life sentences. the two friends both attended moran's tamil pious high school in the summer of 2019. they were in italy on vacation. the deadly confrontation happened in what the men described as a drug deal gone wrong, and acts of self-defense. the defendants get credit for the five years they've already served in prison, and could get more time off for good behavior. the abc seven news i-team reporter dan noyes produced an award winning documentary about the case. it's called 32 seconds a deadly night in rome. it's available on demand on the abc seven bay area app. >> to be a fly on the wall inside the white house today, as president, biden met with top democratic leaders, including california governor gavin newsom. next, hear from newsom and others about whether biden will

39,308. today's trading day was shorter than usual because of tomorrow's holiday. the market will reopen on friday. >> now to your voice, your vote and a meeting. president biden and democratic governors just wrapped at the white house. the hot topic, of course, whether the president should remain in the race or withdraw. it was a great conversation with the president and vice president because it was honest. >> it was candid. i think that, you know, we always believe that when you when you love someone, you tell them the truth and i think we came in and we were honest about the feedback that we were getting. we were honest about the concerns that we were hearing from people. and we're also honest about the fact that as the president continued to tell us and show us that he was all in, that we said that we would stand with him. >> california governor gavin newsom was also at that meeting. he posted on x this afternoon quote, i heard three words from the president tonight. he's all in and so am i. joe biden's had our back. now it's time to have his. earlier today on our 3:00

pm show getting answers. abc seven news anchor dion limb spoke with paul mitchell, who's the vice president of political data inc. she asked him what the president needs to do going forward. >> we know that he needs to quote unquote, perform well. we've heard that terminology be used not only with his upcoming campaign stops, but also in his appearance on abc with george stephanopoulos in a couple of days. so with that being said, what does it mean for him to perform well at this point? >> well, perform well was really the goal of the debate. it was supposed to be that after the state of the union that this debate was going to put the nail in the coffin of anybody who was thinking that joe biden wasn't ready to perform, it was joe joe biden's own words, the president's own words of watch me uh- to people who questioned his ability to, serve as president and serve as the candidate on the democratic ticket. now, what it means for reform going forward, i think it would require a lot of extemporaneous, you know, at the microphone for an hour at a

press conference, taking questions from reporters, this george stephanopoulos interview, which what i'm told might be just a 15 minute interview, is going to be in a kind of cocoon of, safety, as opposed to the kind of thing of walking up to a microphone at a press conference where there isn't really that safety net. so, i expect him to perform well in that george stephanopoulos interview. but i also don't know that for sure. that's going to quell people wh, you know, are concerned about what they saw in the debate. >> okay, let's talk about that big interview. abc news anchor george stephanopoulos sits down with president biden for the exclusive first television interview since that debate. you can watch the 30 minute special this friday at 8 p.m. right here on abc seven. >> coming up next, the latest update on the 4th of july forecast. see the coolest spots in the bay area. >> plus, they don't understand where these loud noises are coming from. so to them it's just loud, thunderous booms, which can be terrifying for them. >> we'll talk about how to
