emergencies. >> but now, san francisco is giving them a special commendation for their impressive record on animal rescues. we have not lost any dogs under their watch, >> they have never failed a cliff rescue either. the city has a lot of dogs and a lot of cliffs, and a lot of dogs stuck on cliffs, which is how the firefighters of station 19 next to the stonestown shopping center became pros at saving pups and the occasional person from rough situations. >> the past five years, we've had several hundred canine rescues as well as many human rescues. just in the fort. >> fun scenario from doodles to poodles, mutts and mixes, they have carried out nearly 250 dog rescues since 2019. this year, they're up to 20 already. >> we've prepared and trained, ready to respond in cases where people get trapped on the cliffs, get stuck, but obviously encourage responsible pet

ownership to try to prevent that as best they can. >> firefighters say they are prepared to keep rescuing your pets, though they'd like people to be careful about letting their dogs off leash in tricky spots. >> most people do enjoy the off leash parts, and certainly the dogs enjoy that as well and just hope that people enjoy responsibly. >> we also sleep more easily knowing that you have our backs and also tails. >> just unbelievable. video off the coast of new hampshire. the two men aboard that boat are okay. after the vessel was capsized by a massive whale that breached the surface and came crashing down. >> when i turned the whale's head was already landing on the engine. so by the time i saw that, then all of a sudden, i looked down the boat's pit. the front of the boat is pitching up.

>> everything seemed like in slow motion it was. it was really weird. like people are saying, oh, it was like three seconds. how did you act that fast? but it was almost like slow motion, like a movie. >> they were rescued by the two brothers who took that incredible cell phone video. a tow company brought the boat back to the marina with only, believe it or not, minimal damage. >> how is that possible? i know that's crazy. >> look at that. >> oh my god, so glad. >> okay i know. >> oh wow. incredible video though. >> let's talk about the heat one more day. >> yes, hopefully. abc seven news meteorologist lisa argen is here. lisa. >> yeah, and you know what? our warning has been replaced with an advisory. so we are already getting into that cooldown as we get into your wednesday. and as you look at live doppler seven, right now, you'll notice that those thunderstorms will be back in the sierra nevada truckee south lake for one more day and east of the crest there as well into reno. but otherwise you can see a little bit of moisture to the south and west of us. that really not an element. we thought perhaps we could see

some of that subtropical moisture right now, watching the temperatures still in the 80s from livermore concord at 82, 84, in brentwood, upper 60s sfo. and you notice it is still quite mild out there with 60s and 70s up through the north bay. look at that. 89 in vacaville. so from san jose tonight the heat advisory continues for north bay interior mountains, our east bay hills and also the santa cruz mountains and the east santa clara hills through tomorrow 11:00. and by the end of the week, we are breezy and much cooler. so it's going to take another 24 to 48 hours to really get the cooling trend underway. we'll be below average to start out the weekend, and then temperatures coming up just a little bit for sunday. here's a look at your morning temperatures still mild 60s to near 70. but those 50s moving up through the north bay and the cloud cover well it's going to be patchy. the low clouds. this is sunrise tomorrow. and you notice the fog is along the san mateo coast, the marin county coastline. but that's about it. it's another sunny and warm

afternoon for wednesday. but by thursday morning look at the fog moving back up into the north bay. and then eventually by friday, it is much more widespread and it's going to take a while to burn back, so temperatures will be much cooler. check it out from friday in the mid 80s to the low 80s on saturday, and then by sunday just a little bit of moderation there. highs tomorrow, upper 90s concord 91, in san jose, upper 80s in the north bay. that's why that advisory has been dropped. not too hot there. 78 in oakland, 73 downtown. the accuweather seven day forecast notice a couple of hot days and then we're into below average and slowly getting back to normal by early next week. and dan returned
