contained, scorching 5000 acres an hour, fueled by bone dry conditions, gusty winds and the hottest summer on record. more than 130 homes torched and thousands more threatened. and this fire has consumed everything in its path, including what's left of this house. the fireplace, the only thing left standing. and in the kitchen, it's still smoldering. jen robbins and her daughter had to leave their farm and animals behind. these pictures show just how close the flames came as they escaped through a tunnel of fire, the heat melting tires. >> so this is dragging down the highway as you guys are trying to race out. >> yeah, i don't know how i was able to drive here, but i was shaking so hard and just crying, when i arrived here, i just got out of the vehicle and collapsed and was throwing up. >> jacqueline lee, abc news, paynes creek, california. >> and we want to show you just how fast this fire exploded in a matter of days. here on the left is the area burned on thursday, about 24 hours after this fire started. and in the middle is friday. on the right is this

burned about 470 acres last night, with containment now at 40% retardant. drops may have helped save these houses, but it did also make a mess. abc seven news reporter suzanne phan is live from one of the neighborhoods where people are cleaning up. suzanne >> so, zach, where we are in bay point along cascade way. check out the scene around me here. this is pretty wild. everything around here is bright bubblegum pink because of the thousands of gallons of retardant dropped on this neighborhood here. but people around here aren't complaining. they're just grateful that fire crews were able to save their homes. >> thank god i'm so grateful that, the house is here. >> eleonora schwartz thankful for the firefighters who saved her home from the point fire. >> it blackened hundreds of acres as it raced across ridges and down hillsides, coming right up to her neighbor's property. >> the fire was real close to these people house, and they were running out with bags in their hand. >> abc seven news talked to schwartz friday as she, her

husband and dog evacuated their home. her vehicle was hit by retardant right after his sheriff's deputies arrived on her doorstep and ordered her and neighbors to leave, just as they said that the helicopter passed and drench us on this saturday. streets are painted pink. it's the aftermath of all the fire retardant dumped on homes in this bay point neighborhood. families who evacuated have been allowed to come back. scott malone returned and realized retardant is covering everything yards, homes, cars, even playgrounds. >> my wife, referred to as barbie ville or something. it was so pink. they told us it's water soluble so it should wash off. >> this afternoon we saw neighbor after neighbor cleaning wash and retardant off homes and scrubbing the remnants off their cars. kevin pereira knows it won't be a quick process. >> it's going to take a few days. >> pereira says. the fire that marched toward his home

terrified him. the aerial attacks, including the retardant drops, literally hit home. >> i could see the helicopter like, spray. the, the retardant, right. and, man, it was a scary moment. i was i was scared for these neighbors over here. >> cal fire says these aerial attacks were a critical weapon against the fire. >> there were multiple air tankers there as well as helicopters. and the air tankers are there to put in retardant drops. that helps slow the spread of the fire. >> firefighters now say they have the upper hand on the point. fire neighbor eleanor schwartz counts it as a blessing that the danger in her neighborhood has passed. >> i think we are kind of a thankful that, we could come back to the house because when things like this happen, people come back to nothing. >> and tonight, here's a closer look at all the fire retardant around here in the distance, i can hear crews power washing their driveway. again. this is the point fire that we're talking about. and crews that battled the point fire have been

dealing with heavy winds, very gusty winds, as well as dry conditions. the good news is no homes have been damaged by the point fire. we're live in bay point, suzanne phan. abc seven news. >> incredible images and indeed some good news that no fire is damaged. suzanne, thank you so much. and some more good news really, is that firefighters across the state are getting a break from the brutal weather. abc seven news weather anchor spencer christian is here tracking the conditions. >> zach, you're right, that good news is that relative humidity has increased significantly as we are experiencing a strong onshore flow across most of the northern part of the state, and temperatures have dropped sharply. but over in the area of the park fire, of course, it's still bad news because that fire is not contained at all. and the you can see on the satellite image that this massive amount of smoke that's coming out of the fire is still being pushed generally to the east. it's not affecting conditions here in the bay area. and as you look at the satellite radar composite image, you see that the marine layer has returned forcefully to the coastal areas of northern california. and we've got this strong cooling onshore flow which has brought humidity up in

all these areas where we have fire concerns and brought temperatures way down here in the bay area, we're about ten to nearly 20 degrees cooler than at this time yesterday in most locations. and right now in the northern sacramento valley, sacramento and redding, anywhere from 20 to 30 degrees cooler than they were three days ago when the park fire first started. but wind is still a huge factor there and is likely to continue driving. those flames for a while. >> zach spencer christian tracking conditions there. thank you. and you know crews are working so hard. many firefighters working 48 hour shifts to try and stop the creek fire. it's burning in alameda county in the sunol regional wilderness, and firefighters say it's spreading north from welch creek road. it is 734 acres with 5% containment. right now, 14 homes are under mandatory evacuation at this point, and the steep terrain there is posing challenges for firefighters, and they're also dealing with limited resources. with so many fires across the state. and you can track wildfires across our state with the interactive wildfire tracker, just go to abc seven

[vo]: of a child. starlight exists to bring happiness to hospitalized children when they need it most. because happiness matters. so tell me about your heart attack. our heart attack was... scary! never want to go through that again. but we could. with heart disease, you never know. so we made changes. green juice. yeah, not a fan. diet, exercise... statins helped. but our ldl-c (bad cholesterol)-it was stuck! stuck! just couldn't lower it enough. and high ldl-c meant a real risk of another attack. so i said, "let's ask our doctor about repatha." what can i say? listen to your heart. repatha plus a statin dramatically lowers ldl-c by 63%, and significantly drops the risk of having a heart attack. do not take repatha if you are allergic to it. repatha can cause serious allergic reactions.

signs include trouble breathing or swallowing or swelling of the face. most common side effects include runny nose, sore throat, common cold symptoms, flu or flu-like symptoms, back pain, high blood sugar, and redness, pain, or bruising at the injection site. we won't let another heart attack set us back. and neither should you. listen to your heart. lower your ldl-c and your risk with repatha. talk to your doctor.

begins tomorrow morning. the 26 mile loop starts at mission street in the embarcadero at 5:15 a.m. the race wins, takes runners across the golden gate bridge and through golden gate park, fisherman's wharf and oracle park, so expect to see some street closures and public transit disruptions tomorrow. you can find a full list of the service changes on muni's weite. but a lot of people are going to be showing up for that, and they're going to be hoping for some decent weather to run in. >> spencer a great weather for

runners for marathon runners, because it's going to be cooler than average and a serious runners don't want to run in the heat. >> so. >> but other non runners may not like the weather so much. okay, it'll be so much cooler than average. here's a look at what's going on right now on our satellite radar composite image. you can see sharp change in the pattern from what we had. just a few days ago. a very deep and vigorous marine layer has formed along the coast of northern california. we've got a vigorous onshore flow, bringing a cool air and even some little patches of drizzle into the mid morning hours today. right now we're looking at wind speeds generally about up to about 20mph, with some higher gusts from time to time. and the 24 hour temperature change is really significant. inland areas like fairfield, concord, livermore, 15 to nearly 20 degrees cooler than they were at this time yesterday. even on the peninsula, san carlos is 11 degrees cooler. so let's take a look at current temperature readings as you see the marine layer lingering out there. well, actually rebuilding now, it lingered for most of the day. and now it's deepening once again, 58 degrees in san francisco. we have low 60s in

oakland and hayward, 70 at san jose, 64, redwood city, 57 at half moon bay. and there's the marine layer lingering over the golden gate. other temperature readings right now looking northward and eastward. 70 in santa rosa, 63 petaluma. napa, 6872 in fairfield at 66 at both concord and livermore. and now we'll check out our forecast headlines below average temperatures will be with us tomorrow through tuesday with just gradual increases of maybe 1 degrees per day as we move into the middle of the next week. minor warming begins next wednesday through friday, and then we can expect a typical summer rain summer range of warm weather beginning next weekend. overnight, we'll see again that deepening marine layer i mentioned pushing across the bay and locally inland. we'll see lots of patches of drizzle, not only offshore but along the coast and around the bay as well. so just as we experienced all said, expected and we do expect it. but just as we experienced this morning, there'll be patches of drizzle tomorrow morning. overnight low temperatures will be mainly in the mid to upper 50s. highs

tomorrow about 60 at half moon bay, 65 here in the city and mainly upper 60s to low 70s around the bay shoreline. only low to mid 80s inland, which is pleasant but far below average for this time of the year. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. notice that gradual increase in temperatures a couple of degrees each day, as i mentioned, as we get into the middle and latter part of next week. but as we head into next weekend, we'll see temperatures moving back into that mild to warm range. a few mid-nineties popping up inland by next saturday. yeah mid 90s are doable as long as we don't see those triple digits. >> no more triple digits for a while. >> i'll be calling in hot. >> uh- spencer. thank you, chris alvarez here. now with a quick look at sports. what's coming up? >> yeah, summer transitioning to fall at least feels like it's today the 40 niners through the first week of training camp. why monday is going to be fun for head coach kyle shanahan. plus tyler fitzgerald on a tear. the giant company he joined in the team's record books got that

it's piled high with tender beef that's slow cooked and smothered in tangy memphis style barbecue sauce. it's no fuss, no muss. just tons of flavor. the best barbecue beef is only a togo's. try one today.

this is the greatest team ever! (♪) (♪) is holding in and participating in team meetings, so that's a good sign for him. the team, they're off tomorrow and on monday it's time to put on the pads. monday will mark day five camp, the first day in pads. brock purdy slinging around the field in santa clara today, finding jauan jennings there. head coach kyle shanahan excited to get his guys out of the shirts and shorts. >> it's tough when you don't have pads on because it's a little when there's not a threat of a bull rush and things like that. or if they are bull rush

and you don't have pads, it makes it a lot tougher. so again, i get i take it more. we won't do that until we have pads, that's one of my favorite things about monday. we get pads on and we get to watch those guys. and sometimes in team drills and stuff, and, you know, someone can have a bunch of catches or things like that, or they can get to the quarterback because of some pressures and stuff, and you don't know if it's zoned, you don't know what the situation is. but when it's one on one, you can't hide. >> it's going to be fun. on monday, stephon curry and team usa basketball open olympic competition tomorrow morning. our time against serbia. curry is reunited with kevin durant, among others. durant questionable but expected play as he recovers from a strained calf. the all star olympic team includes jayson tatum and two other members of the newly crowned champion boston celtics, leading to a funny moment when a boss reporter asked both curry and durant if tatum and the others bragged about their recent nba finals victory. >> with three celtics on the roster, how much has their championship been a talking point like? are they bringing it up or not at all? >> they.

>> do they haven't brought it up or like tried to talk trash or anything out of jason every time he walked in, like just like the champ is here. >> he announced himself. >> nah, nah, we got champs on the wild behavior. yeah, we exactly. we got champs on the team. they just the most recent one. >> that's great stuff. last night tyler fitzgerald became the first giant to homer at least seven times in eight games since barry bonds did in 2004. yeah that's some elite company. fitzgerald heating up for a giants team five games under 505 and a half games out of the final wild card spot. with the trade deadline tuesday. the giants have decisions to make. buy or sell fitzgerald, though, providing the spark. >> whenever i put the right preparation in, i feel ready for the game. so, just going to continue doing that and just see how long this can last. but, no, it's just taking each day as a new day. and i don't really think about, you know, what happened yesterday, good or bad. >> last year when i saw him on

the other side, you just see the athletic ability, and then you look up at the numbers and the homers and everything he can do, and it was just a matter of giving him a chance to play consistently. and he's showing you what he has to offer right now. >> all right. hey, do you see this jim harbaugh back in the nfl and the former niners coach coming off a national title at michigan. he's taking part in drills with the chargers. working on that lower body strength as he's pulling the weights backwards. harbaugh you know he's quirky. but you know the players had to do a double take. seen their head coach getting his reps in i don't think he's going to line up in pads this year. but you never know jim harbaugh. nobody's got it better than him. and back to steph and katie. they talking about the guys announcing they're here. it's kind of like some of our emmy winners i want to name names. hey i got an i'm just kidding. no no one does that here. but you could if you got it. >> absolutely. no. they're having a good time over there. everything in good fun. >> yeah, absolutely. >> chris, thank you so much. all right. firefighters across the state are working overtime trying to get a handle on multiple fires threatening homes. we're going to have one
