1:39 am
that time of year when we start to see things like this play out more and more. quite a lot, even. fires sparking on hot days around the bay area that start burning out of control. san jose fire worked fast today to save a house fire after this two-alarm one in east san jose. it sparked along higera road and burned a couple outbuildings. one person had to be taken to the hospital. in the north bay, firefighters playing whack a mole after multiple brush fires near petaluma. when this happens during the day, crews have the better shot of getting the upper hand. when the sun goes down they lose key tools to help them, aircraft. in october 2017, the tubbs fire broke out overnight in the north bay and burned thousands of homes and buildings before the sun came up. calfire crews are hoping new technology and more training will keep history from repeating itself. lauren toms has more. >> reporter: soaring hundreds of feet above flame, firefighters are gearing up with tactical equipment like these night vision goggles
1:40 am
learning how to battle fires well into the night. the operation has been carefully crafted by chief brian renner, who's paired his passion for flying with his skill of fighting fires to create the largest scale aerial exercise at night that calfire has conducted to date. >> i've got a helicopter background, and i just feel that the job that i have and the role that we play as helicopter operations really makes a difference and helps support the folks on the ground. >> reporter: calfire acquired a fleet of helicopters, including chinook helicopter, that will be deployed this summer to keep fire fights going under the moonlight. we are just at the start of fire season, but the agency says they've already seen over 40,000 acres burned this year. >> typically at night the winds start to subside, the temperatures go down, the humidity goes up, and when the ground firefighters are still actively engaged in the fire and they have water dropping helicopters, we're there to help support them and their
1:41 am
structure defense and perimeter control. >> reporter: they use lights on hillsides as mock fire perimeters. renner says when a real blaze sparks up, this training will help air teams learn how to fly together and work well with ground crews. >> and it really allows everybody to get on the same page. we train for one standard. that way -- >> reporter: it's a standard that can only come from someone with his level of knowledge from the ground and from the air. >> being a helicopter guy we really love supporting the folks on the ground. it's very rewarding, it's challenging, and it's something that i'm really passionate about it and i'd like the see us make a difference out there, and i know that we do. >> reporter: seeing a problem from a different perspective, gaining ground and air to fight fires from above. >> calfire tells us some of the aerial crews that trained in sacramento will be sent to the alma base in los gatos. paul, i
1:42 am
know it wasn't one of the hottest days we've seen so far this year, but it was warm outside, even in the city. >> yeah, temperatures got into the mid-60s in the city. tomorrow everybody takes a step up temperaturewise, and it's going to be hot enough we do have another heat advisory that's been posted for most inland parts of the bay area. most of us at high risk of overexertion, folks sensitive to that, check on friends and family member s who may have concerns tomorrow because temperatures are warmer than today. it's flat out hot farther inland. 70s and 80s around the bay, but inland temperatures around the 90s and the hottest locations to 100 degrees. temperatures aren't going to warm up until the fog dissipates. it's going to try to make its way farther inland through the rest of tonight but not making a huge push in the
1:43 am
inland valleys. once that fog backs up to the coast, which is going to happen pretty quickly tomorrow, it's even going to dissipate along the coast. and we should see plenty of sunshine there as we head towards late morning into the afternoon. we'll fill in the rest of the map, talk about how much temperatures are going to warm up in every microclimate across the bay area coming up in just a few minutes. >> paul, thank you so much. take a look at this video. this is crazy. a stretch of san francisco's embarcadero smelled like burning rubber. there was a car just burning in the intersection. these illegal sideshows turned the streets into anarchy over the weekend. >> each time it's very unnerving. >> reporter: katherine lives near the embarcadero. >> as a resident and taxpayer, it sickens and repulses me. >> reporter: she's reacting to the latest sideshow in front of pier one where video shows a car on fire, cars doing do nuts
1:44 am
around it, with spectators standing right by as high-powered laser pointers crash through the sky. the crowds broke up when officers arrived, and police say they towed several vehicles but no one was arrested. we reached out to police to answer our questions about their sideshow tactics and didn't get a response. but chief william scott released this video on social media this afternoon. >> i want to be absolutely clear, these illegal events are unacceptable in our city. early sunday morning the convoy of criminals headed to the city from the east bay. >> reporter: sideshows also extended to the mission district where police say a building was vandalized. >> i had never seen anything that fast and it seems extremely dangerous. but i understood that it seemed very much an exciting event for the kids that were witnessing it. so i just hope everybody stays safe. >> reporter: across the bay in
1:45 am
oakland, a sideshow blocked traffic at grand avenue near lake merritt. no word on any arrests. last year oakland city council approved a law making it illegal to promote or organize sideshows on social media. and we've seen various examples of cities across the bay area taking an aggressive approach to sideshows. in april, antioch's mayor said police used drones to record information about sideshow participants and spectators. in san jose, police blocked cars in place before handing out 720 tickets at one weekend sideshow. >> increase the penalties. let's start there. >> reporter: back in san francisco, neighbors like katherine are hoping to see some consequences. >> like most people we just are to tolerate it, but i mean to say you can't go to the police because right now they're understaffed and what are they going to go about it? >> today both the police chief and the mayor posted that police officers are working to impound vehicles involved in
1:46 am
things like this, and they say they want to hold people accountable to send a message that the behavior is not acceptable in the city. we saw a similar scene, as we mentioned in kevin's package, across the bay in oakland this. sideshow near lake merritt. people were hanging out of cars, spinning out, doing donut, taking over an intersection near oakland's grand lake theater. still ahead a kite surfer in trouble gets creative and takes cues from castaway. and this late night craving is famous for keeping prices low, but you might notice something different when you buy your next double-double. and a local contractor would only speak to us if we kept his identity a secret. >> i really don't want to jeopardize my license. >> why he says some bay area families are breaking the law and flying under the radar when it comes to building new construction. plus, it's a food combination making some people say this should be a crime. tonight --.
1:47 am
>> the weather here in new york was absolutely donald trump
1:48 am
1:49 am
a weekend boat ride on lake tahoe ended up getting very sketchy. look at this, it went up in flames. this happened yesterday. the coast guard saved six people on board this boat. thankfully none of them had major injuries. when sheriff's deputies arrived, they found the boat engulfed in flames. they had to hose it down before firefighters even were able to get there. now, the boat ended up sinking, and deputies are trying to figure out why the fire started in the first place. speaking of rescue, if you think about someone stranded on a beach trying to flag down help, you might remember how tom hanks' character wrote out help in the sand on castaway.
1:50 am
>> anybody? ? >> a classic film. well, that's one what one kite surfer had to do when he got stuck off the santa cruz county coastline this weekend. he used rocks to spell out help in the sand, and it worked. a private helicopter spotted the message on the beach, luckily the kite surfer was not hurt. two kinds of people in those situations. the kind of people -- >> the one who is innovate and the ones who just panic. >> the ones who just stay on the beach forever like i would have done if that were me. >> waiting for the sea to reclaim you. >> right, i would have just sent myself out to sea. >> a viking funeral. >> right? obviously, you know, a nice day to kind of be by the coast today. >> yeah. >> but it's going to get even hotter, right? >> right, temperatures will reach into the 60s along the coast, which in the middle of june it's not too bad. >> yeah. >> a brief warm-up, though, let's talk about the big
1:51 am
picture pattern, how things are going to evolve. what we're going to be seeing is this transitory area of high pressure. a mini heat dome that's going to build a little closer to the coast tomorrow, pushing temperatures up to that 8 to 14-degree above average level that we talked about a little earlier, but it's not going to last very long. it's going to shift back to a typical mid-june weather pattern already as we hit the middle of the workweek on wednesday. let's take a look at where our high temperatures topped out today, and those were a little bit on the warm side but not everywhere. the onshore breeze was still with us. that kept temperatures coastside quite a bit cooler. did make it to 92 in novato. that was one of the warm spots across the bay area, but only into the mid-60s in san francisco. low 70s in oakland. temperatures in the immediate coastline only hit the upper 50s at half moon bay. ten degrees warmer than that tomorrow, and temperatures are ten degrees warmer farther inland as well. which means you're flirting with 100 degrees inland in the east bay. temperatures in the santa clara valley weren't as far above normal, reaching up into the middle portion of the 80s. let's drop those out of the
1:52 am
way, and we'll take a look at how things are going to change, beginning with how they're already changing or not changing because the fog, well, that's still out there right now. our live view from treasure island towards downshows that cloud cover hanging out. eventually we're going see that backing up to the coast. it's going to take a couple of hours of daylight for that to happen. the fog is going to try to push across the bay into the inland valley, but as i mentioned earlier, showed you on the 3d map, it's not going to make it into the inland valleys, where it does is not going to last long. backing up to the coast already by the time we hit 10:00 a.m., obstructed visibilities along the coast so. the fog backs up away from the shoreline for at least one day. and then it's going to be back into our june gloom off and on pattern as we go throw the rest of the week. temperatures drop into the 50s tonight. already in the 50s in a lot of locations. just the very warmest spots above of degrees, far inland and the east bay. we heat up to the middle portion of the 60s along the coast, above average. close to 90 down the peninsula. into the 90s in the santa clara
1:53 am
valley. temperatures at the hottest farther inland, especially antioch and brentwood. 98 in livermore. 97 for concord. temperatures around the bay a mix of 70s and 80s. several degrees above normal but nowhere near record setting. low to mid-90s for the north bay. and as you go farther inland, there will be pocketings of heat. triple digit heat possible. 102 in cloverdale is one of the hot spots across the entire region. now, i mentioned the records. they're going to be out of reach. way out of reach in san francisco and oakland, 15, 20 degrees below record territory. even farther inland, four degrees below a record in santa rosa, about seven degrees below in livermore, eight degrees below the 99-degree record in san jose. and farther down the line, things flip a bit. the six to ten-day outlook from the climate presixth center shows a decent chance of below normal temperatures trying to sneak down from the north by the time the summer solstice arrives,
1:54 am
june 20th this year. we'll keep an eye on that over the next several days. in the short term we are cooking a bit as we head through the next several day, the next 24 hours, with temperatures above average and then setting into a slightly above average temperature pattern as we hit the back end of the workweek and the weekend. one day of below average temperatures on thursday. that's the case for the whole bay area. thursday does look like the coolest day that we're going to see for a while with temperatures around 80 degrees inland. stuck in the 60s around the bay, and then returning to familiar territory in the low to mid-70s while along the coast there's not a lot of variation in temperatures, tomorrow is the warmest day. thursday is the coolest day. there's only an eight-degree difference between those two days. what you are going to see is a return of the morning fog, especially along the coast. i think at least a little bit of sunshine peeking through every midday into the early afternoon hours before that june gloom reestablishes itself, sara? >> all right, paul, thanks. in a world where it's not rare to find a $# 0 hamburger on the menu, in-n-out is known
1:55 am
for keeping prices relatively low, at least compared to other fast food chain, but here in california they are raising prices. your double-double is going to cost $10.4 before tax. i will not be deterred. the rising cost has to do with the $20 an hour minimum wage for fast food workers, according to the company. each city also has their own sales tax, so one meal could cost more in one city compared to another. speaking of expensive, owning a home is becoming more and more of a pipe dream for a lot of people, especially in the bay. take this, for example, this home in san jose has been condemned by the city, yet someone bought it anyway for $700,000. and it's reported that the house received multiple offers. the zillow listing described it as a blank canvas for those with a vision to rehabilitate and transform. hmm, that's a nice way of putting needs a lot of work. to ease the housing squeeze, a growing number of homeowners across the bay area have been building additional
1:56 am
structures on their properties to either earn rental income or house their families for free, but you can't build one without a permit. as kenny choi shows us, not everyone is following the rule, and he spoke with a man seeing that firsthand. >> reporter: for fear of losing his contractor's license, this home builder who gave us the name william continues to see illegal dwelling units being built from the peninsula to the south bay and beyond. >> temporary garages. they're doing additions to the back that are, you know, they're making separate entrances. they're doing what they can to house their family. >> reporter: william asked us to protect his identity. he's built homes for decades, but with skyrocketing prices, lengthy permitting and inspection processes, to name just a few housing barrier, he's been getting requests that put his small business in a difficult position. >> i have constantly had people call me, ask me can you do a unit for me. i said i don't want to jeopardize my license. >> reporter: the dozens of homes william has built are
1:57 am
above board with the required permits, but he has constructed at least three unpermitted units. >> the amount of time that it takes to get a permit, get the plans done, go through planning, go through the whole process, it's just so time consuming. >> reporter: it comes as no surprise to stanford researchers who are looking into informal adus. using satellite images including google and earth other methods of evaluation, researchers at stanford's regulation, evaluation, and governance lab determined for every legal accessory dwelling unit built in san jose between 2016 and 2020, there were three to four informal or unpermitted adus built. andrea is a data scientist and research fellow. >> we think it provides just an innovative method that can be developed at scale just because, of course, it's much easier to look at this type of
1:58 am
imagery than to do that type of field work. >> reporter: this sample shows images of a backyard in 2016 and then by 2020 illegal adu added. researchers used a computer model to spot newly constructed adus and cross checked with official permits. stanford's reg lab randomly chose 15,000 parcels. >> having been on the ground in communities like east palo alto you see so many unpermitted units. i felt like that was a big missing piece from official statistics at the city level, the county level, the state level. >> reporter: part of the reg lab, he says the detections will never be shared to protect the privacy of residents. they determined most of these informal adus are being built in dense communities of color with lower income levels. he hopes policymakers will gain a better understanding of the prevalence of unpermitted
1:59 am
construction so they can better design programs to help builders and tenants too. >> if we don't understand how many actual housing units there are in these communities, then the policies we design can be really poorly shaped and sized to really support the families that need support the most. >> reporter: home builders like william are hoping permitting rules will be tweaked and improve sod the process to build above board becomes more efficient, ultimately helping families in need of affordable housing. >> to be able to make ends meet with these inflated housing prices, what's a person to do? >> reporter: he would rather build a 100% legal adu, but the reality is many are being constructed in the shadows. all right a night at the rodeo goes really wrong. what happened next when a charging bull headed straight for the fence. i can't believe what i saw tonight. straight ahead in sports, we have that and the
2:00 am
giants. how? down a slippery slope in extra innings.
2:01 am
2:02 am
all right, this bull running around a very crowded arena was the center of attention at an oregon rodeo, but it's its next move that would eventually put him in national headlines. >> oh. >> oh my gosh. the bull jumped the fence and into the crowd. at least three people got hurt, including a deputy. two
2:03 am
spectators had to go to the hospital. it was supposed to be the final bull ride of the night, but the bull had other plans. it ran out of the arena completely and into the rodeo grounds. he was eventually detained by wranglers and placed into a pen. that would -- my life would flash before my eyes. speaking of that -- >> mm-hmm. >> -- it gives me flashbacks. you are talking to the 1995 media bull riding champion -- >> wow. >> -- from the grand national rodeo when it was at the cow palace. i then later did a story on what it was like to be a rodeo clown. >> which, in a word, was -- >> it was terrifying. >> yeah, i know. >> because the bull came right at us, lost his rider, and i could run back in those days, but -- so i took around and i took off. the bull came about this close, but i -- they have a little trapdoor he opened up, i didn't wait for that, i just jumped over to fence. >> i would have let the company insurance policy take me home.
2:04 am
>> oh man. >> yeah. >> it was something. speaking of something, there was a bull that was chasing the giants tonight in the form of the houston astros. this is another one of those just when you think you've seen it all this happens. the ball was bouncing the giants way when we least expected it. pick it up bottom of the sixth, no score. mike yastrzemski drove a two-out ball to the deepest part of oracle part. soler scored from first. yaz got a triple, so san francisco opened the scoring. houston forced extras then took a 3-1 lead into the tenth. bottom of the inning, now a one-run game, patrick bailey singled home the tying run and brett wisely. three batters and ricochet balls later, austin slater drove one up the left field wall and the ball game was over. a walk-off, tenth inning single for slater. a three-run tenth, won it 4-3,
2:05 am
and that is how san francisco, record of 33-34, has won four of their last five. how about the a's? his major league debut. first batter he faced, lights went out. what a story to be told there. unfortunately for him, the padre bats were lit. bases loaded rbi single from merrill. san diego got a four-run lead in the seventh. the padres rolled final of 6-1. oakland has lost three straight. let's talk some puck. here's macklin celebrini, projected to be the number one overall pick by the sharks. stanley cup finals game two. florida in red on attack, running right through edmonton. evan rodriguez's third period goal gave florida the lead for good. first of two for rodriguez, and the panthers won it 4-1 to take a 2-0 series lead. all right, now let's dot
2:06 am
the is and cross the ts for nascar. he became the eighth driver to have multiple wins at the old sears point site. meaningful victory for the northern california native. >> as a northern california guy, it's got to mean a little more to do it here, huh? >> yeah, definitely. always when you can win at your home track it means something. so a guy i looked up to a lot, jeff gordon, another local northern californian, he's won five times here. so i would love to get to match him some day or surpass him potentially. >> all right, kyle larson two wins there. it's going to take a lot more races to catch jeff gordon. kid from vallejo, he won it five times. it included a run of three in a row on that road course. >> now, that looks fun. where do we get to sign up for that? >> oh, well, they have racing schools. you can get up there. >> i'll just skip the class.
2:07 am
i'll just crash the car. all right, vern, thank you. people loved some weird food combinations in the past, but depending on your taste, this might be the combo from hell.
2:08 am
2:09 am
2:10 am
nothing divides the internet like bizarre food combinations. i'm into some of them, some of them are a little out of pocket. >> i've seen peanut butter on burgers at a lot of restaurants, and i'm not -- >> i could get into it. i mean, i could do it. am i going to order it for fun? no, i'm not going to go out of my way, but there's this one food trend going viral on social media right now, and people are a little confused. they're putting ketchup on kit kat bars. >> ah. >> what? what? ugh. >> they're not even breaking apart the kit kat bar, which is a cardinal rule. >> we live in a society, people. >> this is not a civilized society if that's what we're doing. kit cat noticed this combination and decided to put the trend to the test.
2:11 am
>> that's actually really nice. >> stamp of approval from two out of three people who work at kit cat. >> i'm with the girl in green. >> but what do people on social media think? one user wrote, the fact this is coming from the official page scares me. another wrote, i feel like this trend will take some time to catch up. hilarious. >> the 30-year-old joke from pulp fiction. >> oh, and this post is the same thing that our director ryan said in the newsroom tonight. someone wrote want to try it with mayo next. oh, that is criminal. >> i mean -- >> mayo? >> -- i'll say this, once they start messing with a snickers bar, i'm done. i have -- my sacred snickers, no. >> i mean, i like hot sauce on a lot of things. no, no, no, no. uh-uh. >> that, to me, would be more acceptable than just ketchup.
