6:04 am
coming from an electrical room that burned through some wires and immediately cut power, which impacted the bart stations and forced the evacuations. the smoke in the tunnels by the bart ventilation system was cleared out, which is why we're able to do the safe evacuations to 19th street and 12th street. >> we were extremely lucky today that we were able to evacuate with no injuries. >> charlie geter was supposed to meet friends in oakland for an event, but they didn't make it. >> they were texting me from the bart every like even coming down from berkeley. they were stopped on both sides. >> buell says the fire was contained to just the electrical room. how the fire started is still under investigation. >> any time you have a fire, you know, you burn through wires, you burn through cables. so when you have exposed wire and electrical, you know you can't put any power through it or else it's going to your problem is going to continue. we have recommend the uh- until they can get that repair done as not to turn the power back on anser hassan. >> abc seven news. >> now, bart officials did not get any indication as to when those repairs will be completed. until we hear from bart, riders should keep an eye out for any

6:06 am
horse. and not having the funds or the means to even provide for my family outside of my home has been difficult. >> the fire destroying numerous structures, including homes as more than 2400 firefighters battled back, including crews from the san francisco fire department. >> they're battling you know, long hours, which is which is typical of these fires and basically unfamiliar territory is also another thing that we try our best to learn the lay of the land while we're up there. we have been sent to the chico area several times uh- historically, in the past maybe 15 years, we've been up there a handful of times because it's kind of common, unfortunately, to have fires up in around that area. >> this area also saw the deadliest wildfire in state history, the camp fire, killing 85 people. in 2018, the town of paradise once again under threat. it was very impactful. >> every once in a while when we smell smoke or see smoke like that, it does trigger us. it
6:07 am
triggers the people here in paradise. it's just part of the when you go through trauma, that's what happens. >> parts of paradise now under evacuation warning. >> i'm getting evacuation alerts and, you know, be ready. and so i'm packed up my dog, my cat. that's all i can do is wait and watch and hopefully get alerts. so meanwhile, cal fire is hoping favorable weather this weekend can help slow the spread of the fire. >> tara campbell, abc seven news. >> now to the fast moving fire in sunol. the creek fire has burned more than 700 acres near welch creek and calaveras roads. it started around 4 p.m. on friday and is now 10% contained. forward progress is stopped and there are evacuations in place at the sunol regional wilderness park, as well as some road closures in the east bay. many families forced out by the point fire are back home this morning. that fire burned about 470

6:10 am
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 here's a closer look at all the retardant that's been dropped on this neighborhood during the point fire crews have been battling gusty winds as well as dry conditions. but the good news is no homes have been damaged in this fire in bay point. suzanne phan abc seven news. >> cal fire says a fire that scorched nearly 400 acres along the altamont pass is 95% contained. it started thursday night near north flynn road, just outside of livermore. the cause is still under investigation, but an initial report from chp shows a car

6:14 am
ago. this is a view atop our roof camera at 613. happening today. bay area activists will hold a vigil for sonia masih. she's the mother of two who was shot and killed by an illinois sheriff's deputy in her own home. activists are demanding justice as they honor her life, along with others who were killed in police custody. the vigil will begin at 15th street and broadway at 1230. people will then march to oscar grant plaza for a special ceremony. the oakland community will join over a dozen cities for a day of mourning for sonia masih. this as abc news obtained new details
6:15 am
of a grievance filed for the former deputy, shaun grayson. grayson is the deputy seen in this police body camera footage shooting massey. he claims he was terminated without just cause he asked for his job back along with lost wages and benefits. grayson reportedly worked for six law enforcement agencies in the last four years, despite two prior duis. he was also discharged from the army for misconduct. massey's family has been outspoken since she was shot and killed. >> this is the hardest thing that we have ever been through as a massey. it just breaks my heart that our family has to go through this. >> massey's death has been ruled a homicide following a recent autopsy. it also found she was killed by a gunshot wound to the head. now to a story from the abc seven news i-team. the oakland police department is
6:16 am
close to getting a huge technology upgrade that could cost taxpayers more than $6 million. now, police argue this new software will enhance efficiency and help the city's flawed 911 system. yet the process to get here highlighted another multimillion dollar mistake. oakland is in dire need of new technology. it currently has the slowest 9-1-1 emergency response time in the entire state, and it doesn't help. the city has been crippled with software issues. let me be very clear. >> this is a huge underinvestment. >> years before the ransomware hack that leaked the city's network on the dark web, a crucial decision was made in 2017 to replace the city's 20 year old software. oakland city council authorized $12.8 million to install a new 9-1-1 public safety it system that included new dispatch and records management software from motorola, but a civil grand jury report found three years later, it was never fully implemented.
6:17 am
in fact, both the software and hardware at the emergency communications center were labeled as so out of date. it is no longer supportable, the report added. opd was forced to buy replacement parts on ebay because they were no longer available. >> completely unacceptable, unexplainable and certainly uh. we need to hold ourselves as governmental employees more accountable. >> staffing shortages and impacts from the pandemic were to blame. now it's been seven years and the problem still hasn't been fixed. but this week there's a push to change that. the city's i.t. department is recommending a new purchase with a tech company to replace opd's record management system with a modern software called mark 43. that's fully cloud hosted. >> i would assume, though, why they're advocating for the utilization of cloud is because it could probably be accessed for more locations if passed, it would cost taxpayers up to $6.1
6:18 am
million, but it's being heavily vetted in the wake of the city's massive 2023 data leak. the idea that any of these records are secure is naive, and we see these data breaches consistently. and so it's really put the population at a much more vulnerable place. >> according to a report obtained by the i-team last year, opd determined the motorola software was, quote, difficult to use, leading to increased report times and the issues were unable to be resolved. issues like that could have been avoided if the tech was properly vetted. we asked opd that very question did they determine this new software would be compatible with their systems? we were told the software was reviewed by several department subject matter experts to gauge efficacy. opd also visited a local law enforcement department who is currently using mark 43 to obtain their feedback, which was positive. opd may also acquire a new $27,000 subscription with gladiator forensics to collect
6:19 am
and analyze call record data. police say it would help arrest wanted suspects and enhance criminal investigations. state privacy law would still require opd to have a warrant in order to access that data. now, if you have a story for the i-team, you can call this number on your screen 188 40 i-team or head to our website abc7 news.com slash i-team. happening right now, more than 30,000 runners are on the streets for the san francisco marathon. the 26 mile loop started at mission street and the embarcadero at 515 this morning, and with record participation, they picked up the race shirts and bibs at the marathon expo yesterday. >> i think for us, this is a community run. when it comes down to it, a lot of our runners come from the local bay area and it's just a way to bring everybody together in a really cool city and go on a running tour and see all the amazing monuments.
6:20 am
>> the race takes runners across the golden gate bridge and through golden gate park, fisherman's wharf and oracle park. you can expect to see street closures and public transit disruptions throughout the day, and you can find a full list of those service changes over on muni's website. it will certainly be a brisk start for all of those runners. this morning. lisa. we've been cheering them on from our studios here as we've been watching them go by. yeah, and that cooling trend continues. >> that's right. you know we're looking at the coolest day of the next seven behind us yesterday. and then we're slowly going to see a transition. by the time we get to the middle to the end of the upcoming workweek. but as for today, just some minor changes getting in some sunshine sooner. still, looking at the breezy winds and our upper level pattern. still allowing for the fog and the cooler air to infiltrate much of california. and that is indeed helping the fire forecast with higher relative humidity, cooler temperatures not quite as windy.
6:21 am
and there we go. look at all the runners there, the golden gate bridge, and so far the winds. not much of a factor. we will have the clouds though, clinging to the coast throughout the day, so it's a cool one if you are headed to the shoreline. 55. san francisco 60, oakland 61. in hayward, it's 62, in san jose with 50s from redwood city to half moon bay and the clouds stacked up sfo right now 55. santa rosa 57 by the delta mist and drizzle at times at the coast, not only this morning and overnight, but into your monday as well. 58 in livermore. boy, it was cool yesterday in our inland valleys. and there's a look at the shark tank. so over the next few days we'll keep the cooler than average weather with us. the warming trend inland begins wednesday, and that will take us through thursday and friday. and it looks like an area of high pressure to the south of us is going to build on in for the upcoming weekend, the first weekend of august, and that's going to bring more warmth. so we have had more above average days in july, as
6:22 am
you know, record warmth. but for the time being, it's the low clouds and fog allowing for that typical weather pattern. and as we get a bit of a wind shift when the clouds move in and pull back, we may see a little bit of that smoke drifting to the south. but it's not a big deal. we're not looking that at that to impact our air quality. the fog moves back in throughout the overnight hours and then early into monday it's a cloudy start. there's your mist and drizzle and the sea breeze getting ready to cue up throughout the afternoon. so noontime light winds by three 4:00. we've got winds over 20 miles an hour. the breezy winds through the delta right on through early next week, keeping temperatures not too hot. as we skip ahead to wednesday, we've got some low to mid 90s, maybe a bit above average, but still a pleasant day with sunny skies after that morning fog. thursday once again, little changes. by the time we get to the end of the week, we're seeing some upper 90s and slight warming here, but
6:23 am
next weekend we'll have to fine tune that and see how warm we're going to get. 74 in fremont. look for 84 by the delta. it is 73 today. another comfortable day up in wine country with low 70s san mateo low clouds and fog spreading across the bay. widespread 50s. tonight the accuweather seven day forecast. so still cool. the next couple of days. warming trend getting underway. the middle of the week. very pleasant near average. and then by the time we hit august, temperatures begin to crank up a bit.

in and select the backpack that fits their unique personality and gets them excited for the school year. >> backpacks can be dropped off tomorrow until thursday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. at sacred heart's donation station on south first street. pre-registered families will be able to pick up their free backpacks starting on tuesday, and thursday in the east bay. a new art exhibit is calling attention to west oakland's cultural legacy. artists of the neighborhood brought this showing together, titled west oakland matters, the event had live panels discussing how art and culture contribute to economic revitalization. >> you may live in a particular community or a particular set of limitations, but if your mind can expand and perceive beyond, it is usually the first step to getting past that space. so you've got to be able to cultivate the creativity within any community so that it's the soul of it doesn't die very important. >> it's always been bought down here. it's always been art down
6:28 am
here. >> long time residents brought their own photos and records of the area over time. it featured a collection of paintings, photography, film, fashion and performance pieces. some beautiful work coming up in our next half hour on abc seven mornings. former president trump, addressing a recent attack on israel. his message amid tensions in the middle east and we've all seen it. you know, those service charges when you dine
6:29 am
6:30 am
kamala harris and former president donald trump continue on the campaign trail this morning. the push to voters exactly 100 days away from the november election. good morning, everybody. thank you for joining us. this half hour. lisa is here with a look at the forecast. and
6:31 am
that mist in drizzle right. continuing on. yes. >> not only this morning but the next couple of mornings as our marine layer is pretty healthy and it is reached far inland, not quite to fairfield. travis air force base is clear, but you can see mount tam, a beautiful sunrise. the sun was up 20 minutes ago. it is 55 in the city, 61 in hayward. and as we look out towards the bay bridge, our roof camera very gray there, 55 santa rosa mist and drizzle along the shoreline. upper 50s there in our inland valleys. good air quality, although we do have some upper level smoke bringing most of the smoke to the northern sacramento valley, the adjacent foothills. with that wind shift overnight, we get a little of that overhead above 25,000ft, but you notice it just drifts off as we get into the next 24 hours. so nothing to be concerned about but the temperatures a switch today mid 80s inland and our uh- concord livermore area where you were only in the near 70 yesterday around the bay shore.
6:32 am
we're in the upper 60s with those clouds clearing sooner and that mist and drizzle keeping it cool. just 60 at the coast. stephanie. all right lisa. >> thank you. new this morning. the campaign for vice president kamala harris has raised nearly $200 million in less than a week. more than two thirds of that amount is reportedly coming from first time donors. harris's campaign is holding more than 2300 events in battleground states this weekend. yesterday, she spoke to voters at a fundraiser in massachusetts. she also delivered a virtual address to appeal to young voters in this election, we know young voters will be key, and we know your vote cannot be taken for granted. >> it must be earned and that is exactly what we will do, harris said. >> she's the quote, underdog in the presidential race, but says her campaign is picking up steam. she'll hold another rally in atlanta on tuesday, coming up on this week, martha raddatz interviews new hampshire's
6:33 am
governor chris sununu. he will discuss the republican party's strategy as they take on vice president kamala harris 100 days from the election. former president donald trump and running mate jd vance are rallying their supporters in minnesota this weekend. that state has not backed a gop candidate for president in over 50 years. mr. trump took aim at vice president harris, calling her a, quote, crazy liberal. he also addressed a recent strike on israel, saying it would not have happened under his presidency, that israel was just attacked very severely, attacked and hezbollah looks like. >> and this is things that won't happen. i mean, you just just can't they have to respect us. they have to respect. they cannot do this. they cannot do this. what they did just now with that attack is terrible. >> this week, mr. trump will return to pennsylvania for the first time since he survived the attempted assassination. he'll hold an indoor rally in
6:34 am
harrisburg on wednesday. the middle east is bracing for a potential escalation in violence during a weekend of attacks this morning. israel is following through with its pledge to retaliate after a rocket hit an israeli controlled area in lebanon. the strike killed 12 children and teens in the golan heights area. israel says hezbollah is responsible, but the militant group is denying a role in the attack. the israeli defense minister visited the site, promising hezbollah, quote, will pay the price. it comes at a very sensitive time. israel and hamas officials continue negotiations for a ceasefire and hostage proposal in rome today, closer to home. now, the lawsuits are piling up for dublin based patelco credit union after a cyber attack took down their systems last month. our partners at the bay area news group report patelco is facing at least ten lawsuits in state and federal court. if the
6:35 am
suits succeed, patelco could have to pay out as much as $5 billion. now to this if you dine out a lot, you likely have noticed some extra service charges on your bill. business owners say they're there to make sure workers get a decent living wage and health care coverage, but some customers have started to push back, building a better bay area reporter lyanne melendez takes a deeper look. >> if you eat out, you've likely seen them. surcharges tacked on to the tab with different names. service fee, labor surcharge, fair wage, employer mandates, health care security ordinance, sf safety and benefit charge. why so many terminologies? i mean, this is very confusing for the customer. i mean, what the heck is a safety and benefit charge? you know what? >> at the end of the day, there are always people that are going to try to get around something and find a way to make it work
6:36 am
better for them. folks just have to vote with their feet, get up and get out and go somewhere else. that has more transparency. >> state senator bill dodd initially wrote the legislation to do away with all those surcharges, only to then exempt restaurants. and here's why we read we here on tv that how many restaurants are going out of business in the bay area? >> it's a tough time for restaurants. >> he's right. according to san francisco consumer price index, prices for food away from home in the san francisco bay area went up by 5.2% in the past year. you know what else has gone up for restaurant owner rene dennis? his rent. minimum wage. and that city health permit that in 2008 cost him $600 a year, is now up to $1,500. >> it keeps going up. we can't keep raising our prices in line with that, because then our customers get sticker shock. >> so restaurants across the state have started adding surcharges to their menus to
6:37 am
make up for the rising costs. but sometimes those fees are not so obvious according to the law, any extra charges must be clearly and conspicuously displayed with an explanation. take this menu for example. i can read the prices no problem, but at the very bottom and not so conspicuous is this note i need my glasses for this one. it says to help defray the rising cost in west hollywood, a 4.5% administrative fee will be added to your check. go on social media sites and the conversation is heated. here are two examples. when i receive a bill that has a service fee or a mandatory tip on it, i don't tip. san francisco has been doing it for years. hence the fact one reason i no longer dine there once a week, as i did years ago. lauren hyman created a site called sephisa inviting
6:38 am
customers to record the surcharge of each restaurant. >> you know, so i created this website to make it easy for me and other, you know, consumers to just to easily understand how much something is going to cost before before they purchase them. and they visit a restaurant and sit down. >> and that kind of disclosure worries some restaurant owners who have already seen a backlash. this is really controversial and some restaurant owners didn't want to be interviewed. why is that? what are they afraid of? oh it's hot right now. >> i read things like reddit and a lot of social media and people are either posting, oh, 13% on my bill for this restaurant and they'll call out that restaurant at pascal. >> rene dennis charges an extra 5% to help supplement wages. faced with some disgruntled customers, some cafes and restaurants are eliminating that surcharge and just increasing the prices.
6:39 am
>> instead, they were kind of confused, perplexed, sometimes thrown off in a way that made them discouraged from buying product and stuff like that. >> at craftsman and wolves along the valencia corridor. once they eliminated the surcharge marked on the bill, it made things a lot easier for everyone. in fact, most people we spoke to would rather pay more for a meal if it meant not paying that surcharge. >> i have $37.65, and that way you can put a meal together from the menu without having to worry about. is there going to be some fee? i don't have enough for the fee because that's a that's that's a deadly moment when there's a fee. >> i think there's a simplicity in that. and i think it feels a little more transparent. we just got back from europe where we were encouraged basically not to tip. >> that's what they do at zazie, a popular french style restaurant in the coal valley neighborhood. so let me see if i get this right. you don't charge a service charge? no or you don't add any health insurance?
6:40 am
no. okay. the tip. you don't even ask for a tip. no. so how do you make that work, >> back in 2015, we did raise our prices 20%. >> owner megan cornelius told us how that 20% is used is clearly posted on each menu. >> it says a tip for your restaurant. all prices include a living wage, fully funded health care, dental care and 401 k for all of our hard working staff. >> but rene dennis says that model doesn't add up to a solution for him. >> no other way to put it. you know, we're robbing peter to pay paul in san francisco. >> lyanne melendez, abc seven news. >> well, still ahead this morning, a big weekend at comic con, marvel taking center stage. and that familiar face returning to the mcu. and we'll take you outside for a live look from our golden gate bridge camera. and if you look closely, you see all
