doctor peter chin-hong, thanks so much, jess. a tribute to san francisco firefighters in the form of a mural a student from the academy of art university painted it, and it's located in the lobby of the san francisco fire department headquarters. the mural tells a story of one of the city's oldest standing stations in the city. it opened in the late 1800s and closed in the early 1900s. although it's out of service, it still stands as a historical landmark. organizers say the mural helps honor the history of the city's firefighters. i think it's super important to remember our history, to remember where we came from, what we did right, what we did wrong, the challenges that folks had back then in terms of the equipment that we had and, and how they had to run things. so it's incredibly important for us to know and honor our history, whatever it may be. the mural is 12ft tall, and it's been in the works since march. all right, let's bring in our chief meteorologist, jeff ranieri, so we can congratulate him on the wonderful weather
