even reach 70. degrees. this afternoon. but elsewhere that's where the concern lies. much higher risk for heat related illnesses in places that are highlighted in pink excessive heat warnings in effect all the way through the weekend, so any outdoor plans you have over the next several days. you need to practice that heat safety in any outdoor activities that might have involved burning of avoid those at all costs as we do have a red flag warning in effect that we'll continue. thing that does spark will spread very, very quickly on a day like today and tomorrow as this area of high pressure or what's known as a heat dome continues to build off the west coast and as it does so. that area of heat vary. oppressive heat that will continue to build overhead again there is really no escape. in sight over the next several days, but very early this morning we saw gorgeous. start to our day we saw that moon rising the colors in the sky. were absolutely fantastic. so there is some positive i like to think about the positives. while we can.

but this afternoon coastal communities that's going to be the biggest positive when it comes to embracing more of that comfortable heat. san francisco highs only in the upper 70s, but heading on further towards the north bay. that's when the heat begins to build upper 90s are going to be in the forecast and further inland. this is our biggest concern. concord. antioch's quell above 100. degrees. i know there were some events that were even canceled. because of this heat and the heat will continue. further south. although places like fremont redwood city might be a degree or 2 cooler than yesterday. in the mid to upper 90s still are going to be hot and upper 90s to low triple digits in the santa clara valley. all things to keep in mind. and definitely need to practice that heat safety and make sure you are aware water water water reapply. apply the sunscreen and you are going to hopefully enjoy your fourth of july holidays. safely. because this heat is no joke. the heat is going to stick around today. tomorrow end into saturday, but check out our high temperatures. by sunday and

into monday. they get a lot more comfortable. in a lot. lot cooler closer to the bay area. that's where things get a little bit more comfortable as well. the area high temperatures about 20 degrees cooler than inland, so head on over to the bay area coast to a beat the heat. but make sure you practice heat safety in our inland communities. >liz>and stay with us for continuing coverage of the heat, and its impacts on air online at kpix.com. and streaming on the free cbs. news app. and on this 4th of july. safety is top of mind along with the celebrations. extreme heat in our dry hillsides are already a bad combo. but added just 1 spark from a firework and these get out of control fast or wilson walker talked with firefighters in alameda county to see how they are getting ready. >temperatures always seen around the 4th of july. like he creeps up. on this. us like the temperatures. knows this is the week. this is the year for us to for the sun to be even harder for the grass to be even

drier across the bay area. first responders are looking at the confluence of the calendar and the weather forecast. and they see trouble. >we're here right now, with a few of our pieces of apparatus that are specialized for responding to wild land fires. alameda county fire is just 1 of the department's staffing up for the week, and they even said a hillside on fire to show just how dry things already are. and with the 4th of july, it's rarely just 1 fire. >in perspective. if we have a small draft grass fire in castro castro valley we respond all these specialized resources to kashmir valley. now we have something starts in livermore. now we need to balance of who needs to go to cash to rally who goes to livermore? meanwhile, fire starts in union city now we have 3 different cities driving in a bay area through traffic we're talking, you know 50 to 100 patients at our facility just around that holiday. time. the head of the burn unit joined in for santa clara county's >plea >>for holiday restraint and law enforcement. is also mobilizing for the annual flood. of

illegal fireworks. >we're putting out additional patrols both marked and unmarked units to find people shooting off these aerials. and these larger ordinance, it is illegal. they are dangerous. all of this willonal patrols and unmarked units to find people shooting off these aerials. and these larger ordinance, it is illegal. they are dangerous. all of this will be complicated by the additional medical calls that can come with extreme. heat. and while the 1st responders around the bay area are getting ready >to go out and do all the community. education as possible. but what we do need is the community that played a part to be safe as well. >>also note some members of our bay area fire agencies have been deployed to the wildfires near fresno and in butte county. so they may not be at full staff here at home. and we'll have more of the physical danger from fireworks. a new report shows. there were 90 fireworks related injuries and 8 deaths in the us last year.

believe it or not, those numbers are down from the pandemic years when more americans used fireworks at home instead of watching the professional displays. it's still too many, though considering that these are all preventable and safety experts. out even the safe and sane fireworks can be dangerous if they're not used properly. still ahead, keeping our pets safe on this fourth of july, we'll talk live with the peninsula humane society, but how to calm your animals when the fireworks are going off? and it's a very different kind of show in the skies meet a bay area man who is mapping out drone light shows.

>liz>now. fourth of july fireworks as we know it could be a lot of fun for us humans, but they can also be really stressful for dogs and cats. >heidi. under the bed. doing a little bit of shakes and whatnot. fireworks are scary, right? that's our number 1 thing. with the pets. is they could be frightened when they hear those big booms go off. they have no idea what this is about, or that there's an event going >liz>on. the loud noises can

prompt some pets to run and hide or even worse, run away. the humane society says. the stress from fireworks could be so overwhelming. and can put animals and hazardous situations and even lead to fatal. health effects. >dog that has heart disease or even epilepsy. these dogs can get so frightened from the fireworks that it can cause them to have a stroke or even cause a seizure to come on. so you need to know your dogs. help history. >liz>yeah. join me live now is calling crowley from the peninsula humane society and s. p. c. a. thanks so much for being with us on this holiday. >live>it's nice to be with you, elizabeth. thank >liz>you. so how can we best protect our dogs and cats from the stress that comes with fourth of july and all the fireworks? >live>yeah. it can definitely be a stressful time for them. it's a good idea to keep them inside. once the fireworks start for sure as it starts to get dark. um most pets are going to be pretty unhappy. going. we love to bring our

pets everywhere, >liz>right? >>but not to the fireworks displays. um, for for the vast majority of them, they're going to be happiest in your home and, um it's a good idea >liz>that >>keep them. you know i was hearing your a couple of people just on the interviews just now, saying they might run and hide. you know if your pet goes and hides in a closet or under a >liz>bed. >>follow their lead. you know, they feel safe there. so maybe draw the shades keep the booms >liz>out. >>maybe turn on a radio to drown out some of the shocking boom sounds just to make it a little more easy. full >liz>on them. do you think it's a good idea? perhaps to put them in a place like a bathroom and closed the door with obviously food, the water and their parties that they need it just to kind of keep them contained and safe and away from the noise already, or is that stressful too? >live>you know, people know their pets. uh, really well, so maybe not locked in there, but just it's like, go and tuck themselves away somewhere. um, you know, let them do that. you can give them access to you

know, room with the shades drawn. so they don't see that. shocking. lights. and you know, maybe put on a little bit of sound to drown out those those big booms. but maybe not locked them in a room if they're going to feel, um that that that might make a pet more anxious, so just follow your pets lead, >liz>you know, they >live>know how >liz>to bring themselves for sure. now i know also, we're dealing with the excessive heat for so much of the bay area and a lot of us. frankly, don't have air conditioning. so the 1st instinct when it gets hot outside, and it starts to cool down at night is to open up the windows. is that a good idea, though? if you've got little furry friends running around and there's going to be fireworks nearby, >live>right, you know the scared pets can be great escape artists so yeah, you know if you do have a conditioning and you can close all the windows, that's a great idea. um, if you can't, you know, maybe it does need to be there sectioned off to the section of the house so they can't escape. because you do have to balance out. for

sure keeping them cool. i was listening to your, uh, your weather report. giving some great tips for humans and a lot of the things are similar for pets. they were saying water, water water, you know, give them access to water. find the coolest place in the house. maybe maybe it's your garage floor. it's your house, but make sure they're not getting into you know, toxic paints and things. um, maybe it's outside before the fireworks start, you know and fenced off yard under a shady tree if there's a breeze just whenever it's going to be that balance of you know, keeping them cool and, um for unfortunately, it will cool off a little bit. hopefully when the loudest sounds are happening, so maybe then they >liz>could be >live>yeah. off up into the >liz>house. yeah. and, you know, obviously this is the worst case scenario, but god forbid, what should you do if your pet gets lost during or after the fireworks? what should you do, >live>write great question. um, i would say the 1st thing don't wait around, maybe knock on some neighbors stores and have a look around your own neighborhood. fortunately, these days we tend

>liz>to have >live>great current photos of our pets. on our on our phones, right? so it's really helpful to have a fresh photo. so you can show people when you're looking. um certainly. people know the peninsula to bring their bring lost. starts. they make our way their way to us. the peninsula humane society. um, would we're close to the public today, but they can definitely come by the shelter are coyote point shelter tomorrow and look, you know, we can't identify them over the phone, right? so they're very welcome to come and look if they've got a lost pet. um 11 to 7 tomorrow, 12. airport boulevard is is the address of our county point shelter or similarly. you know, look, look in your oh, on shelter and check every couple of days. don't give up after the 1st day, you know, might take them a bit to make their way to >liz>us. all right, calling. crowley with the peninsula, humane society and spc. a thank you. so much for being here. >live>thank you. everybody have a great rest of the day and be >liz>safe. you too. the noise concerns for pets along with worries about triggering ptsd
