country forces evacuations. the latest on fire crews trying to gain the upper hand right now against these flames. good afternoon. i'm audrey asistio

welcome to nbc bay area news at 4:30. we're going to give you the latest numbers on that fire fight. also, our vianey arana is tracking the conditions on the fire lines. other stories on this monday, an air quality alert in some spots because of the wildfire smoke, our jodi hernandez has all of the details you need to know and what we should be looking out for right now. also, one of san jose's premier shopping destinations. look at this turns into chaos. a sideshow breaks out near santana row. our damian trujillo is talking to police as they look for who jumped and stomped on that cop car. and the feds are coming after a silicon valley tech company. the reason adobe is being singled out by the f but let's go ahead and begin with the point fire in sonoma county, which is now scorched some 1200 acres, burned multiple homes and farms outside of healdsburg. the it actually started yesterday afternoon on the southeast area of lake sonoma. and as of this

afternoon, the fire is now 20% contained, more than 400 firefighters have been hitting it from the ground and air all day. helicopters provided most of the air support, while ground crews concentrated their efforts on protecting all the homes along the hillsides. cal fire says many of the homes have good, defensible space, but a few are surrounded by heavy grass landscaping entries that put the homes at high risk of burning. there is that zero zone that's recommended five feet outside of your home to not have trees within that area that would be the defensible space that we're referring to. and of course, any additional, details that you could provide within the landscape of your home will help save the home. so we could tell you there has been at least one injury linked to this fire. last night, a firefighter did have to be airlifted out of the steep terrain after suffering what's being called a non-life threatening injury. we are told

helicopters with night time capability will continue to hunt for hot spots after the sun goes down and vienna. i think anyone who was able to step outside over the weekend noticed it was a little windier. when this fire sparked is when still an issue out there right now, you know it is not as gusty as it was, but we saw wind speeds upwards of 30 plus. pair that with just how dry that humidity is right now. and that's that recipe that we don't like to see, especially when we're talking about fires that are actively burning because just one ember can spread thousands of miles. so let's give you a current look at the conditions right now. temperature wise. we're also rather warm up there. notice it's about 81 degrees right where that fire is burning. point fire. you can see there sonoma county just northwest of healdsburg. i also want to show you the humidity. so notice the wind speeds have backed off. but we're at about 15% of humidity. and just to give you an idea, we're talking about winds blowing from the north. think of all that smoke that those winds managed to blow in addition to

the embers. which is why when we're looking at the wind speeds, notice this is right around 7:00. we're still quite breezy at times 1520 plus miles per hour. you can see the arrows there that signals where the wind is coming from. and this sort of white area that you see here is the direction of where that smoke is blowing, which is another reason why we of course, have our jody out there checking the air quality. but one thing's for sure we're going to remain dry. we tend to see a nice recovery overnight of that humidity, but even so, as we inch into that tuesday forecast, we're still expected to remain below 40, which typically when we're dealing with humidity, we like to see it above 40. now coming up, i'll have an extended look at how those temperatures will be looking in just a few minutes. audrey. all right. vienna. thank you. as vny mentioned, spare the air alert is in effect because of the fire. and that means people living near the fire should be aware of smoke in the area. so let's go ahead and bring in our jodi hernandez. jodi, you spent the entire day out there looking for any impacts. how is it out there right now? would you find.

well, we're on merritt island. it's a little bit hazy, but the air quality isn't that bad right here. it's actually listed as moderate, but definitely the closer you live to that sonoma county fire, the smokier it is. and of course, if for folks who have chronic health conditions like asthma, it's definitely been a little bit rough the last couple of days. now, we did talk to a woman who lives in petaluma who has severe asthma. she says she has tightness in her chest, her throat is raspy and it's harder to take a breath. so she's been spending the last couple of days with her doors and windows shut and has avoided going outside. we've heard from others who say it's been so smoky that it feels like it's time to break out the masks again. again, the good news is that it's starting to dissipate as firefighters work toward getting the upper hand on that point. fire hey, that sounds really good, jodi. you know, it has been a while since a wildfire has impacted our air quality. so can you just please remind us once again what health officials want us to do? i know

you mentioned some people were closing their windows. people were thinking about putting a mask on again. those must be some of the things is definitely the bay area air quality management district tells me that if you smell smoke, then you're likely breathing in particulates and you should take precautions. again, those precautions include staying indoors, running the ac, keeping the doors and windows shut. avoid strenuous outdoor activities, especially if you're elderly or if you're very young. kids and seniors are more susceptible to feeling the impact. and of course, if you have a chronic health condition like asthma, avoid the outdoors until the smoke dissipates. some worry with such a big fire this early in the season, it's a signal that we may have a very busy and smoky fire season ahead. i to live here in solano county. i can tell you that yesterday it was quite smoky. i smelled the smoke and i feel a little bit of raspiness in my voice today. but it definitely is better today. the smoke smell is not there. it's just a little

bit hazy. so definitely moving in the right direction. yeah. take care of yourself, jodi, and thank you for those reminders. very important reminders. we'll see your full story later on this evening. and we are streaming the latest updates on this fire all the time. that qr code you see right there on your screen that will take you to our how to page on streaming. you could also search nbc bay area on roku, pluto or any other streaming platform. well, firefighters tackled another fire in sonoma county. crews arrived at this fire in healdsburg around 3:00 this morning. the address belongs to the mason dupre winery on dry creek road, and video shows flames devouring. you see right there that building leaving behind just a skeleton of what once stood. so this fire is very close, actually, to the point fire we showed you earlier that fire is on the other side of dry creek road, northwest of healdsburg. fire crews say they used water from a nearby pond to put that fire out. san jose

police are searching for the people behind a dangerous sideshow near santana row, and onlooker and a police officer got hurt over the weekend. our damian trujillo spent his day digging into this story for us. damian, what are you learning? what's the latest on the investigation? well, audrey, no new updates from san jose police today, only to say that it remains an active investigation. however we were over in the santana row area today, and we did spot with our cameras a couple of detectives who were out at the scene talking to some business owners, presumably looking for surveillance video of what may have happened. there are some street cameras also at that intersection, so no doubt they're looking at that as well. but you and i know that everybody nowadays carries a cell phone. and everybody it seems at that incident was rolling a video of the both the sideshow and of the incident with the patrol car. and so police they're posting those videos online. and so undoubtedly police are looking through every single one of those videos, trying to identify

some of those people who may have been involved. and our legal analyst says those people are going to pay some hefty fines if they are convicted, and they'll face some serious felony charges because they did assault a police officer, even though he remained inside the car. some of the glass that shattered, injured to him slightly. and so they will face some of those charges. they're facing some serious consequences. and the police and the mayor say they will identify and find whoever is responsible, damian, you mentioned that the police officer stayed inside of the vehicle. i know you got a chance to speak with the police expert, what did he tell you? what would he have done if he was in that situation? would he have stayed in the car as well? well, i spoke with several retired police officers, and everybody is flabbergasted at the way this officer responded. he says that that's not what you do when your life is in danger. and they say his life was actually in danger. what? the retired police officer, michael lenninger, tells me is that he would have

moved the car forward slightly, given an opportunity for those people to get out of the car or off the car and then move it in reverse a little bit and give them another opportunity for them to get off the car. and then he says, if they did, that did not solve the problem, then he would have. i don't want to say gunned it, but he would have gotten away from that area no matter if there were people on top of the car or not. and so that's the same thing i'm hearing from many other police officers. they say you can't take a chance with something like this. this was a mob mentality and the officer needed to get away for his safety. all right. well damian, thank you for the update on that. i know we're going to be seeing your full report as well later on this evening. so we'll see you then. okay. a week after an air india passenger says they were served a metal blade in their in-flight meal, the airline is confirming what exactly that object was. it happened on a flight from india to sfo last week. an air india spokesperson confirmed that a foreign object was found in a guest's meal,

saying an investigation has identified the object as part of a vegetable processing machine used by its catering partner. air india says it's going to start requiring stricter measures, so this doesn't happen again. well, hit and termination fees have landed san jose based adobe in some hot water. federal trade commission announced today that the software company is responsible for, quote, deceiving consumers trying to cancel their subscription. a complaint was filed in federal court. it says it costs hundreds of dollars to terminate your policy, and that the company creates other hurdles to make it difficult to leave the service. it alleges that adobe was aware of the cancellation confusion, but continued to obscure its policy and fees. look at this. we're actually not the only ones dealing with the wildfire right now. fire crews in southern california are battling flames to the north of la. we're going

to show you why it's proving to be a very difficult fight out there. also, should the summer olympics actually be held in the summer? i know, sounds crazy to ask that question, but our chaky climate change has fueled our ev hotter summers. but before we head to break, we want to know what trending story would you like to see later on in this newscast? i will pull up right now on my inram. manof you have already voted, but for those of you who haven't, i still have a little bit more time to vote for one of these stories right here. irs closing tax loophole shaun white starts new halfpipe league or armie new halfpipe league or armie hammer reflects on career. t-mobile “savings”, take one. guys, focus. here's the line... “at t-mobile, you get tons of benefits, and you can still save versus the other guys.” focus! hello t-mobile... hold on... yomight nt to just... ok stop! just say it like this, “at t-mobile, you can save on every plan, and you get great benefits with magenta status”. magenta status... yuh! i'll show you my magenta status. ok, i'll just do it. check out the t-mobile

warning in that area. the post fire sparked saturday afternoon near gorman, growing to more than 15,000 acres over the windy weekend. it stands at just 8%

containment right now. evacuation orders are in place and officials are considering shutting off power to that area. this is now the biggest fire to burn so far this year. passing the corral. the corral fire that scorched 14,000 acres in san joaquin county earlier this month. and i am joined now with our meteorologist, vianey arana vna. we were looking at that. they're also having to deal with wind out there. they are now just double check. they still have an active dvisory that area. plus they're seeing dry conditions just like we a so the recipe down there is also equally dangerous down through southern california. the temperature wise. they're in the 80s right now for a lot of the stretch in sohern california. and we've still got a couple of 80s here. so if you notice san jose is at about 8al 83, and up through the north bay, still in the upper 80s for napa. so let's talk about what's to come in the next couple of hours. i want to show you just how clear it is conditions wise. we've seen lots of sunshine. if you notice, just out in the

pacific, we do have some cloud cover. however we're not going to get a lot in the way of cooling for us here. in fact, we're actually headed towards a warm up later this week. but if you notice, i want to show you this near suace smoke map and this is where the firis tively burning. this is at around 10:00. so even though you might be thinking, okay, the smoke is not that bad right now, if you look right here, we're going to get some hazy conditions that stretch in through parts of concord, danville, but also possibly making their way all the way down to the south bay, parts of the santa cruz mountains. so you just want to be mindful of that could become locally unhealthy. keep those windows closed, at least until we see bettering conditions. but with the wind speeds we are expecting to keep as well. the warmer temperatures in through parts of tomorrow. so let's take a look at how that humidity stands heading into the overnight hours. we tend to see a niceecyabove 40% is good, but look what happens as we head towards tuesday afternoon.his is at around agaio see thospercentages fall bel 20, which means we've got that dry relative humidity and any sort of grasses can quickly

nite and spread. for tomorrow. we're going to see temperatures climbing into the upper 60s for san francisco, mid 80s for san jose, and upper 80s in through ral valley. make sure to join us again at 5:00. chief meteorologist jeff forney will have more on that fire and your extended outlook. audrey irvine, thanks. there's a new report that's raising concerns about continuing to hold the summer olympics in the summer because of climate change. paris has gotten six degrees hotter than when it first hosted the games a century ago, and a string of heat waves in recent years have killed thousands across france. and that's why a group of olympic athletes and scientists are raising concerns about how and when we hold the games. here's national climate reporter chase kane during the tokyo olympics. the dangerous combination of heat and humidity made it feel, at times like 116 degrees, the hottest olympics on record. i struggled to stay cool while just sitting in the skateboarding arena, so maybe no surprise that, according to a

report from japanese doctors, at least 131 athletes needed medical treatment during the tokyo games because of heat. it's in an athlete's dna to push themselves to the absolute limits. you know, when we're talking about olympic games, the reason you're there is because you push your body to those limits within safe conditions. that's one thing. but when things get unsafe, yeah, it becomes pretty dangerous. this scottish rugby player is one of a dozen olympians sounding the alarm in advance of the games. and just last summer, heat waves across france killed 5000 people. another in 2003 killed at least 14,000. and that's the main concern highlighted in this report. i guess i still am just surprised of the timing of these olympics. i mean, we have seen such deadly heat waves in these exact location at this exact time. athletes are by far the most at risk here, but also people who are attending, people who are working, people who are outside. i think in a lot of places in the us and around the world, just summertime competitions, unless they're held in the middle of the night, are going to become essentially

impossible. the international olympic committee says the health of athletes is a top concern, and paris 2024 says they will have free water stations across every venue, and they'll also consider shifting the time of outdoor competition. if temperatures top 90 degrees to the specific context of climate change, something paris's deputy mayor says they've been working for years to limit. as climate change makes paris increasingly hot. seven degrees fahrenheit celsius is a big deal if you're in the middle of a heat wave. that's a big difference in temperature. yes, and it's dangerous. it's dangerous for daily life. and so we need to transform the city as fast as possible to protect people and to make the city more sustainable for the future generations. and that's why they've invested billions in planting trees to cool the city, adding bike lanes to cut emissions, and working to clean up the polluted river. positive steps to host the olympics and permanent benefits for 2 million

parisians. but one sustainability decision has gotten a lukewarm reception in the athletes village will rely on carbon free geothermal district cooling instead of traditional air conditioning, similar to what's used in parts of downtown chicago and new york, to just put a button on this, there's not a limit in terms of outside heat or humidity where this stops working well. or is there, like all of us, you know, equipment prefers not so hot and not so humid. i mean, we never know what mother nature is going to throw at us, right? i mean, it could be a heat dome that could be, you know, very challenging. paris 2024 officials say it will keep indoor temperatures at least 11 degrees cooler, but they'll still make individual ac available on request, which in one way reduces the emission for the games. but on the other side, for an athlete that is, you know, they cannot stay cool and cannot recover fast. so i think from an athlete's perspective, that is a negative. and that tension underscores the urgency of addressing climate

change. along with paris 2024 efforts to cut their carbon footprint in paris. i'm national climate reporter chase kane. chase thanks. at the anchor desk now with our janelle wang working on the 5:00 news. hi, audrey. happy monday. monday we have a report from cal firebugs on campus. three cases of arson in the past month. the latest one just yesterday. fire officials have an idea who's responsible after a group admits to doing it, their reasons for why and putting a warning about social media. the nation's top doctor made that recommendation today to require warning labels on social media platforms, similar to what we see on cigaret packs. what kind of harm these apps may be causing young kids and teenagers, and who gets the final to say put the surgeon general's recommendation into effect? all that and more coming up at 5:00. looking forward to it. janelle. we'll see you in a bit. yes. thank you. still to come top trending story as voted by you on my instagram poll. also rock music legends practice actually at this bay area home

to close another major tax loophole that's used by the wealthy, and it could add billions to tax collections. biden administration says high end business partnerships such as hedge funds and wealthy individuals like real estate investors, have inappropriately been using elaborate ways to shield tens of billions of dollars from getting taxed. so the treasury department said today that it's cracking down on the practice called basis shifting. this is one complex business partnerships can move assets from one entity to another. on paper for no reason at all, other than to avoid taxes. some lawyers who represent partnerships argue that the businesses are doing nothing wrong. the irs expects to the move to raise more than $50 billion in revenue over the
