entire parts of the bay area, causing frustration and concern. and a firefighter fanning the flames of hate. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> san francisco and vancouver, canada, separated by more than 900 miles and an international border but connected in crisis. -- san francisco and vancouver are in the grips of an overdose epidemic, and both cities are taking steps to reduce the number of those dying because of drugs. but vancouver is taking a much more aggressive approach, so what can we learn from their experience? our wilson walker traveled up north to take a look in part one of our special series overdose

crisis, lessons from vancouver. >> like i said, i've been here long -- far too long. nobody's alive from when i started, not one person. not one. >> reporter: 20 years jeffrey has spent in the streets and alleys of vancouver's downtown east side. everyone he knew when he started here all lost to the very same gamble. >> crystal meth in there and fentanyl. hopefully that's what it is. >> reporter: he admits that he's surprised that he's still alive, having been pulled into the crisis that will look very recognizable to san franciscans. >> mean and hastings, aka pain and wastings. it's ground zero for the poverty in this city. i've watched everything happen down here. i've watched the streets evolve. when it was heroin down here, it was very quiet. this is new stuff. this is new with the fentanyl. it's

everywhere now. and fentanyl changed the lifestyle. it wiped out a whole [ bleep ] generation, and we didn't even have a choice, you know? we were doing heroin then slowly but surely we started tasting something different about it. people dropping left and right. now there's a crisis, everybody's dying. >> reporter: fentanyl took hold in vancouver around 2014 and overdose numbers more than doubled in two years as the downtown east side became an emergency room. >> so this is our -- hey, guys -- these guys are out here just in case there's an overdose in the area. >> immediately we'd grab our narcan, we'd grab our oxygen tank, and we're gone. >> it's the community helping each other and itself. >> reporter: sara blythe is executive director of the van city overdose prevention society, but back in 2016 she was managing a street market on hastings. >> since we were outside, we

were -- you know, more and more people would run overdose. so basically we just set up exactly this, a tent, table, and chair, and said this is a health emergency, i don't care what any level of government says. >> reporter: at the time, vancouver did have one official safe injection site and blythe effectively forced them to open more by opening her own. >> we're doing the good samaritan act by saving people. we're not going to allow people -- no one's going to sit there and watch people die. >> and so in 2016, the government of b.c. issued an emergency ministerial order saying we could operate prevention sites despite them being illegal in canada. >> reporter: in the eight years since, b.c. has leaned into the idea with dozens of sites. this doctor is chief medical officer for vancouver coastal health. >> people have transitioned into inhalation, we're

offering supervised injection and inhalation. they have to be indoor/outdoor sites. >> reporter: treatment services are also offered on site. >> you know, go through substance use stabilization or detox. >> reporter: but the primary focus is mitigating the risk presented by the unpredictable street supply. >> we're all rolling dice. it's not fentanyl anymore. we're doing tranq and benzos. >> we've seen sort of the risk that can come from unregulated drugs, and we know people use them. and so we legalize them and make regulated versions and then people don't immediately sky when they consume them. >> here i am, i've got fentanyl on my back, as much as i hate it. >> reporter: ty, who has a back injury, receives two medications. >> a half gram of heroin kills the pain. >> we know this helps people

get treatment. it's part of the treatment journey for many people because the people don't have access to this continue using drugs, they're at high risk of dying, and may never get treatment. >> reporter: the vancouver b.c. approach absolutely does differ from san francisco's. it's a more aggressive use of harm reduction tools eight years into an emergency these cities share nearly a decade into the fight to save the next life. >> i want to wake up and live and not just exist. i'd like to find a -- some kind of peace. >> reporter: the human toll in suffering and lives, something both cities know all too well. the next question, of course, how is this working in vancouver. how are they measuring the success of these programs. and then another question, the people of vancouver and british columbia, do they feel like these

strategies are working? >> i mean, we all want the same thing. that's to stop this absolute nightmare of a public health emergency that we have. it's just how we get there. sometimes we're in conflict. >> reporter: some familiar conflicts in this shared emergency, we'll have more on the b.c. strategy, how some say it is dramatically reducing overdose deaths, and why there has also been a significant public and political pushback against some of these policies, including an experiment with outright decriminalization. that's coming up in the next chapter of our look at vancouver and what san francisco can possibly learn from their experience. two sister cities in this opioid crisis. >> wilson walker, thank you. wilson will bring us all of that tomorrow night at 11:00 in part two of our series overdose crisis: lessons from vancouver. and if you or anyone you know is struggling with addiction, call 1-800-622-help. that is the substance abuse and mental

health services administration' 's national help line. all right, shifting gores now to our first alert weather, chief meteorologist paul heggen joining me now. i got to tell you, it was pretty toasty in the east bay. >> big change from 48 hours before that when it was rainy and cool. now we're on the other side of the weather roller coaster. it's still going to continue to ride along up and down over the course of the next several days. let's take a look at where our high temperatures topped out earlier today as we look at the fog rolling in. our view from the mark hopkins hotel. that fog isn't very deep. temperatures earlier today topped out in the low to mid-90s in san jose, santa rosa, and concord. well into the 80s in fremont and well into the upper 70s? san francisco and just above 70 for half moon bay. coastal and bayside temperatures are similar to or below where we topped out today. for tomorrow's highs, while farther inland temperatures take another step upward. three or four degrees above average in the bay. closer to ten

degrees above normal inland. hottest spots in the upper 90s. some places flifrting with 100 degrees, like around antioch. let's look at the heat risk. topped out in the moderate category today. it's going to make it to the high category, just barely, but it counts tomorrow. it backs off already on wednesday. we're talking about the peak of the heat arriving tomorrow and then we'll get rid of it as we head through the rest of this week. juliette, we're coming up on a holiday weekend. we are going to see plenty of sunshine but return to near normal temperatures by then. we'll have the seven-day forecast in just a few minutes. >> okay, paul, see you soon. thank you. dozens of dirt bike riders caused chaos on two sides of the bay this weekend. this is video taken after police showed up near lake merritt yesterday. officers say a group of bikers actually swarmed a business on grand avenue and started stealing items. one person was arrested in connection with the robbery. there were also reports of bikers doing stunts and halting traffic on the bay bridge and also in san

francisco. so helping the problem or just doing more harm than good? tonight our kelsi thorud checked in with advocates for san francisco's homeless for their take on what's now been weeks of efforts to force people off the streets. >> reporter: just about a month since san francisco began aggressively sweeping homeless encampments across the city, some advocates the for unhoused say the work is all for naught. jennifer, executive director of the coalition on homelessness, says from her vantage points the sweeps aren't helping anything. >> it's really just moving people across the street and back, across the street and back, and not being successful in putting large numbers of people into shelter and housing. and that's really what you want, you want to get people off the streets. >> reporter: we met jennifer here at leavenworth and turk in the tender loin. city employees and the police come to this

block at least once a week. >> every four days this. corner, this block right here. there never has been a lot of encampments there. there was maybe a tent or two, but they come here, yeah, every four days and push everyone out. >> reporter: officials including the mayor have said the sweeps are meant to maintain health and safety on city streets. those carrying out the sweeps do offer services to those living in the tents, but the city has said repeatedly that a majority denied those services, giving the city no choice but to kick them out or even arrest them if they refuse to leave. jennifer has long been an advocate for the unhoused, so it's not surprising she's against this policy. she says the sweeps are making the issue worse. >> this means they get fines and fees they can't pay. it's going to mean they're going to get cited for things that they have no other choice but to be out here. and so it's just not a way to get -- there's never

been a ticket that's led somebody off the streets. >> reporter: what jennifer wants to see is a concerted effort to convert some of the vacant downtown buildings into housing for the homeless. it's policies like that she believes will actually help both clean up the streets and get people back on their feet. >> a tent is a piece of fabric. who's inside that tent is a human being. and straight ahead, hate on the highway. >> i'm not a bleep racist, i'm a [ bleep ] firefighter, dude. >> tensions escalate, and an area firefighter is going viral for all of the wrong reasons. and then pushed out. they've been in business for decades, now some shop owners say they have no choice but to shut it all down.

hon', take airborne! it has 7 key nutrients

to help fill those holes your immune system may have. what holes? [screams] new airborne. 7 immune supporting nutrients. our most complete support yet.

some business owners are concerned about their futures after being approached by a venture capitalist said to be buying up property in the neighborhood. for some on fillmore street in san francisco, those concerns have already been realized. steven motto of this restaurant says

he's been forced to shut down by the end of the month. the choice was made for him when his landlord's asset manager reached out asking him to vacate. >> we've been here since 1978. started by my parents, immigrants from japan. people coming as kids are now adults bringing in their kids. >> community members rallied with the board of supervisors president, aaron peskin, also running for mayor. peskin announced new legislation he says will protect legacy businesses like this one. well, a different type of property of problem that's playing out in pacifica. some homeowners there fed up with short-term rentals like airbnb. we spoke with homeowners on beach boulevard who've had enough of the disturbances. they're disturbing airbnb guests. they also say they've noticed trash and have found people using their water. others have dealt with people using their driveways, even trying to get into their homes. now some are banding together

for change. >> there's a resident coalition called pacifica homes are not hotels. people who are suffering the challenges of living next door to these unhosted short-term rentals. >> city leaders told us they are looking for a balanced solution to address people's concerns. let's turn to our first alert weather. it was a hot day in the east bay. even so, didn't stop some die hard pickleballers. there they are. look at that, paul. boom. hitting the paddles in the courts. >> are you a pickleballer? >> i was going to ask you that. honestly, not. >> a couple of our neighbors have courts in their backyards. >> do you hear them? >> i'm surprised, i don't. maybe they don't use it. >> it's true. >> it was hot. it's going to get hotter tomorrow. >> okay. >> it's not a return to the crazy heat we had back in early july. good news there. we've seen kind of a whiplash pattern with the cool, rainy conditions

on saturday now giving way to a mini heat wave. it's going to peak already tomorrow. storm system that brought us cooler temperatures and rain showers on saturday is now gone. the heat dome has taken over, at least temporarily. there's a ripple in the atmosphere off the coast. that is going to get close enough to us to nudge the heat dome farther to the east. temperatures back down already by wednesday. by thursday and friday within a few degrees of what's normal for the last days of august. a pattern that is likely to continue as we head into the first days of september. all the way through labor day weekend. looking outside right now, there is the fog spreading out as we look from the top of salesforce tower. we're looking towards the golden gate, in there. temperatures a lot of variety, 57 degrees in san francisco and 59 in santa rosa to still mid-70s in san jose and livermore and concord. with the hot temperatures inland, it takes a while to lose that heat. we're going to end up with a mix of 50s and 60s on the map tomorrow morning. fog is going to try to spread across the bay, but because

it's a packed layer of fog, the heat dome being squished overhead. so some intrusion into the inland valleys with that fog by early tomorrow morning. it won't take long to back up to the coast. should happen by mid-morning. by lunchtime that fog should be pulling away from the coast as we head into the afternoon. we're not likely to set any record high temperatures well away from record territory in san francisco and oakland and even inland with temperatures in the 90s. records are either near or above 100 degrees. the closest we're going to be is seven degrees short of record territory in san jose. let's fill in the res of the map and talk about high temperatures which are going to reach the upper 80s and low 90s in the north bay. the cooler inland spots. that's several degrees above average. low 90s in santa rosa. 90 in petaluma. just shy in san rafael and napa. temperatures on the hot end flirting with 100 degrees. 99 degrees expected in fairfield, just below in concord, and

right at 100 degrees in antioch, the hot spot. 70s in san francisco and oakland. 90 in redwood city with temperatures likely to get into the mid to low 90s in the santa clara valley. now, we are going to return to those near normal temperatures by the weekend and into early next week, but enjoy that while it lasts because the 8 to 14-day outlook from the climate prediction center which takes us through the first nine days of september shows a strong signal towards warmer than average conditions, not just for the bay area, not just for california, but for most of the western u.s. september is still definitely a summertime month in the bay area, and it's going to feel like it as we head into that new month. in the short term after temperatures peak tomorrow, we're back down. labor day weekend is looking nice. temperatures mid-80s up land. warming up a few days for labor day monday. the coolest days will be the first two days of that three-day weekend, just above 70 degrees around the bay

saturday and sunday. hardly any change to our temperatures along the coast, though. those are hovering in the mid-60s over the course of the next several days. literally a two-degree swing between the coolest days and the warmest days. no change there, but on the coast we will get some sunshine each afternoon as the morning fog politely breaking up a bit. >> the fog is polite. >> sometimes. sometimes not. >> all right, thank you, paul. the cops are coming. >> the cops are definitely coming. >> you [ bleep ] mexican. or filipino. >> oh, oh, okay. >> so a crash on the highway escalating into an argument and eventually a racist rant. tonight we're learning an alameda county firefighter is the person behind the hateful language. so the video quickly racking up views on social media after being posted. esteban reynoso has the story. >> the cops are definitely coming. you [ bleep ] mexican. >> reporter: a tiktok with over

half a million views showing an alameda county firefighter shouting racist comments after a crash on highway 99 south of low die on harney lane and armstrong road. alameda county fire chief confirming the firefighter worked with them for over 20 years. cbs has blurred his face because they would not confirm his name. we went to the rocklin home believed to belong to the firefighter. he did tell cbs13 off camera he was involved in a crash and did not deny he was the man in the video. >> he told us, i'm very sorry, that's not me. i had a bad day that doesn't represent my family. >> if it came out, that's what you feel deep down inside. >> reporter: vath touch is the man who recorded the video and posted online. after the crash last friday, he saw the firefighter walking up to his window and pressed record for safety. >> a person come up like that, you don't know. you never know what's going to happen. i

didn't hit record to get all this, but you know, it just so happened that i got it. >> i'm a [ bleep ] firefighter, dude. >> i don't consider it a hate crime. i consider it embarrassing. >> whatever race you are, thinking of saying stuff, but you got to restrain yourself from saying anything at all if you are a public servant. >> so despite a contract dispute currently playing out, bus service is normal for now. concerns about an employee sick out that came after a union representing bus workers rejected a three-year contract proposal. the transportation agency says right now it doesn't expect service disruptions tomorrow. still ahead, let it airbnb, an historic venue getting new life and how you could spend the night. straight ahead in sports, we'll send you to bed with the latest 49er roster news and a tradition on again, off again going back to the 1960s. the

return of a kpix top five plays, and i can't wait to show you.

kind of feel bad for those tonight wondering if they made the cut or not. >> i know, it's going to be great debate among these position coaches on who to keep. >> i know. >> because you've got to get to 53. you're going to have like eight defensive linemen, seven offensive linemen. after that, you can add 16 more. >> and they get paid still. >> it's a whole lot of figuring out going on. >> do you get paid on the practice squad? >> oh yeah, good money. hey, the 49ers, they have to set their 53-man roster tomorrow afternoon. will brandon aiyuk, who is under contract, be on it? we'll find out. but aiyuk might have a message for the front office after what went down today. >> tell them to bring me my

money. >> yeah. the cowboys did just that for wideout ceedee lamb. four years, $136 million, $100 million guaranteed to end his holdout. that makes him the second highest paid receiver behind vikings justin jefferson. speaking of receivers, ricky peer sal returned on monday wearing the blue noncontact jersey. he missed all of the preseason with a shoulder injury. meantime, the giants and a's, they both had the night off. that means time for a rare kpix monday night top five. let's go. number five, barry bonds was inducted into the pirates hall of fame. he won his first two mvps with pittsburgh. number four, rory mcilroy, not his weekend in colorado. tossed one club into the drink and then look, snapped his driver when bending down to pick up a tee. oh,

that's a rough one. number three, take you back to late june. blue jays and red sox, danny at the plate for toronto. the game suspended due to rain. they picked it back up today in boston. there's jansen now plays for the red sox. he became, jules, the first player in major league baseball history to play for both teams in the same game. number two, chargers quarterback justin herbert didn't play in the final preseason game, but he got praise before the game. head coach jim harbaugh credited herbert with leading his teammates out of a hotel elevator one by one through a ceiling panel. so coach is number one. >> justin herbert, his hair was a little wet, but his shirt was completely dry. that's another thing that blew me away. the guy is just a beast. i was trying. i know very little about elevators, so i wasn't

giving much help. who's got it better than those guys who were on that elevator? >> this is why i miss jim harbaugh. i miss him every day. the harbaughisms. >> oh yeah. >> i miss them. >> that's true. >> i'm envious of the media. they play the first game against the raiders on kpix. >> looking forward to that one. all right, vern, thank you. okay, up next, what better place to spend a hard night's day or a hard day's night? it isn't on penny lane, but it is a way to get close to beatles' history. that was a tough one, right, vern?

they say the hardest part of getting something done

let's go! hustle! is getting started. well, we did that 30 years ago, when california first took on the tobacco industry. this is not just about access. it's about the message it sends... now smoking is down 60 percent. lung cancer 42 percent. a couple of our cities have already ended tobacco sales. a california without big tobacco isn't just possible, it's already happening.

imagine this -- >> okay. >> imagine getting to spend a night where rock 'n' roll history was born. so if you make a trip over the pond, you can do just that. take a look. this may look just like an ordinary airbnb listing. oh but no. it isn't. this rental used to be the club where the beatles performed some of their earliest shows. - [announcer] the following is a paid presentation sponsored by lifelock. - i thought i'd be the last person on earth this would happen to. i change my passwords all the time, i shred my documents, and i lock my documents up, so i thought i was bulletproof, honestly. someone stole my social security number and filed a tax return in my name. - nearly one in four consumers in the u.s. have been a victim of identity theft, but not you, yet. you check your bank accounts and credit,
