but the solano county sheriff's department says it destroyed eight homes before they stopped it. this is the eighth home destroyed by this fire. it is still burning out there, but firefighters say the flames have reached all the way to the river so it no longer poses a threat. now, the fire actually started after embers from the first one in collinsville blew about a half mile east of here. this is a small community across the san joaquin river from pittsburg. it broke out around 1:30 and destroyed several homes and collinsville road. the winds were blowing at more than 20 miles per hour and it took emergency crews at least 20 minutes to get here. >> not much of a chance with the wind out here blowing. like i say we was grabbing water hoses. the neighbors were grabbing water hoses, fire extinguishers, as fast as we could the faster the fire would spread. >> it's very far from a lot of our fire stations. as soon as the call came in we were rolling.

>> a lot of very distraught people out here. red cross is out here. they told the family they would be able to put them up in a hotel for three days. there are obviously several other people out here trying to find shelter and replace the things that they lost out here. this is a very small community. it's very tight. coming back here, as you can tell behind meet winds are blowing pretty hard right now. a lot more than they were at 1:30. in fact, at last check they were about 30 miles per hour out here. so even though they have it under control they have to worry about embers blowing. this one blew about half a mile from the original point and started that one. now they're trying to stop any spot fires that might pop up. allen wang. another fire is burning in sacramento. huge plumes of smoke are filling the sky near cal expo.

at one point firefighters say flames reached 200 feet in the air. the grandstand where tonight's fireworks performance is scheduled has been evacuated. no structures have been damaged. turning now to that wildfire in napa county, all roads surrounding the fire northwest of the lake are now open again and all evacuation orders have been lifted. the fire that destroyed two homes has burned more than 4300 acres since tuesday. it's now 55% contained. fire is a big concern for police and firefighters tonight. this is the scene every year on the fourth of july. illegal fireworks everywhere. but this year the situation is more dire because of california's drought. police and firefighters are out in large numbers tonight, hoping to prevent a disaster. we have team coverage tonight on the fireworks crackdown. we begin with abc7 news reporter david louie in san jose with a closer look at the fireworks tonight. >> reporter: this hill right here is one of many the area firefighters are keeping an close watch on tonight because

of the dry conditions and potential for fireworks accidents. now, we're toelgd that firefighters are very concerned that even when people use safe and sane fireworks they need to be responsible. >> residents of this morgan hill neighborhood have been hearing fireworks go off for the past two weeks. cal fire responded twice to san juan drive last night but can't do much unless they actually see the fireworks. >> people will try to get away with whatever they can, as human nature is. we try the best we can to limit those type of activities. unfortunately, we can't get everything. >> all fireworks are banned throughout santa clara county except in the city of gillroy. but it's apparent they're not difficult to find and purchase. >> last four or five nights, couple weeks, every now and then so the big ones that blow up in the sky and everything. >> do you worry about that? >> my daughter does. she looks out the window and thought it would catch the house

on fire. >> some communities allow the sale of safe and sane fireworks, the kind that doesn't fly into the air or risk fire. anyone can buy them even in a city where they're banned. >> we'll find a place we can discharge them safely. we're not going to get in trouble. but we look forward to enjoying it either way. >> tile roofs have reduced the risk of fires from fire worngs. but the drought has left tinder dry grass which can ignite easily. firefighters are hoping even users of safe and sane fireworks can be careful. >> there's still a possibility of injury coming from the fireworks and also them starting fires. when it comes to safe and sane, i would add a third word which is reasonable while the fireworks are safe and sane the users have to be as safe and sane as they can be. >> in morgan hill, david louie, abc7 news. >> our team coverage continues now with abc7 reporter vick lee live in san francisco with a

look at the crackdown on illegal fireworks. vic? >> reporter: well, chinatown san francisco has always been one of the most popular, if not the most popular marketplace for illegal fireworks during the fourth. there are still plenty of buyers here on the streets. you can see them all around. the problem is, many of these buyers are having a hard time finding the sellers. in the past chinatown streets were filled with sellers but not now. these last two july 4th holidays it's been hard finding them. this man told us he spent all morning trying to find one. we left him still looking this. person who did not want his name used said he too was having trouble. >> couldn't find anything. everybody seems to be really nervous right now. i was out here four months ago you walk into the store and say firecracker they pull stuff off the shelf. now you walk in and everybody is like no no no. >> reporter: but he finally succeeded. he bought a box of small bottle rockets for $40. the runners, the street sellers,

normally set off small fireworks on the streets to let people know they're selling the big stuff. the runners are usually neighborhood teams trying to make extra money on this holiday week. the runners are nervous because of the police enforcement. on wednesday they arrested these three people who sold 22 m 1,000 fireworks to an undercover officer. m 1,000s are powerful explosives. >> the experts tell me you have one in your hand and you light it you could blow a hand off, blow an arm off. it's very dangerous. police say internet sites like craigslist are running into the street runner's business. you can find all kind of fireworks here. just last week police raid add home in pitsburg and confiscated a ton of illegal fireworks being sold on craigslist. in chinatown you can still find them, but now many of the sales are being done in the safer confines of stores. you just have to know which ones. this store sells souvenirs. the fireworks are hidden under the cash register.

when we were here there was a steady stream of customers. it seemed to be an open secret. vic lee, abc7 news. hundreds of thousands of people are expected in san francisco to watch tonight's big official fireworks display. the construction work on interstate 280 is forcing drivers heading into the city to find alternate routes. this is a live look at the san francisco skyway where traffic actually isn't too bad right now. but let's check the bay bridge toll plaza where traffic is getting heavy. if you're paying cash those fast trackers are going right on through. our reporter is there where people are gathering. >> reporter: this is the place to be if you can get through that traffic pier 39 is where you're going to be for crowds of people celebrating the fourth of july. since this afternoon we've seen plenty coming here to do some sight seeing and pick a spot for tonight's fireworks display.

the entire waterfront from emba embarcadero. there are the ferries if you want to skip the ground traffic. people around the world come to take in the city's most famous sights, but on this fourth of july weekend they've ventured into the city. >> it's a big crowd. >> wandering around somewhere. it's a good time. >> they played at our wedding at the fairmont about four months ago. we thought it would be found if you know to stay at the fairmont and redo the wedding and band and everything. it's cheaper this way now. >> reporter: he's talking about the live band that's actually playing right behind me. we actually talked to quite a few people who are fans of tainted love. they're out here jamming out the

80s tunes, entertaining the crowd until 8:00 tonight. then at 9:30 is when the fireworks display will start. there's a whole area from pier 39 to the aquatic park for people to watch. >> thank you. in the south bay the celebration is already under way in mountainview. >> spencer christian is live at shoreline amphitheater with a first look at our forecast. hi, spencer. >> we are feeling festive here in shoreline amphitheater as the show begins at 8:00, san francisco symphony, fireworks, disney and abc7 are sponsors. what more could you ask? oh, a weather forecast. you could ask for that. let's go over that right now. we're concerned about fireworks over the bay of san francisco tonight. here's a look at live doppler 7 hd. you can see a patch of fog not only on the coast but moving across the bay right now. we'll zoom into san francisco. you can see fog not only from the golden gate down to pacifica

but from the golden gate across the bay. a live view from the east bay hills camera. you can see fog reaching the east bay shoreline at berkeley and emoriville and other points on the east bay. here's our fireworks forecast. the all important fireworks forecast. we'll see low clouds along the san francisco waterfront tonight with cloud base down to 600,800 feet. that could obscure the view of the fireworks partially at least. i'm less optimistic now about getting good viewing conditions than i was a couple of hours ago. you may have to put up with a little bit of fog tonight. >> thank you, spencer. we do have an update on breaking news we first brought you on abc7 news at 5:00. a person hit by a bart train in richmond has died. bart isn't releasing any information yet on how it happened. the richmond station is closed right now, but all other bart stations are oh. the oakland a's were back in action this afternoon but fans were talk about a lot more than just home runs and strikeouts.

yesterday the coliseum joint powers authority approved a ten-year lease. but the deal must still win approval from the oakland city council and the alameda county board of supervisors. a statement by the mayor shows the city wants to keep negotiating but the oakland a's owner says he's gotten permission to leave oakland without a deal. fans are frustrated. >> we're tired. we need to do something new. >> the fan base feel like you're sort of in the middle? >> yeah. they're our a's. we want them here. >> the oakland city council and the county board of supervisors are expected to vote on the deal by august 1st. still to come on abc7 news at 6:00, the last-minute dash to buy fireworks today and where you can and can't use those safe and sane fireworks. plus today's early fourth of july celebrations. >> and the fight over immigration heats up. the duelling protests in southern california going on right now.

around the bay, people are making the last-minute dash to buy fourth of july fireworks. california only allows the sale of safe and sane fireworks, but as abc7 news reporter tiffany wilson explains most bay area communities have outlawed those as well. >> reporter: for many, fourth of july is all about red, white and boom. >> a lot of excitement for the kids. >> reporter: california's set

strict restrictions, only allowing the sale of safe and sane fireworks which basically means fireworks that don't fly or explode. >> i grew up with some friends who literally blew their fingers off with the barrel bombs. i know people who have done that. i tomatally appreciate the safe and saen sane laws. >> reporter: fireworks are illegal where she lives, but she wants her grandson payton to light his first sparkler at home. >> i didn't buy anything super radical. hopefully i'm not going to get in trouble. pleasant ton, danville -- outlaw fireworks. dublin is the exception. this family lives in met pleasant on where it's illegal to set up off fireworks. they came to a park specially designated for anyone to come and set off their safe and sane fireworks without a problem. the alameda county fire department says you still have to be careful.

they've increased staffing for fire-related fires. >> i would caution people that doesn't mean they're no risk. >> safe and sane is good. we need to have some control for the safety of the kids. >> reporter: but this man doesn't see the point in limiting fireworks sales. >> people should be able to sell and set off whatever they want. >> reporter: he says let freedom ring in dublin, tiffany wilson, abc7 news. in santa cruz a city-wise safety zone is in effect this weekend. that means fines will be tripled for violations. minimum fines will run $532. it was a day of parades around the bay area today. >> it's easy to see why this year's fourth of july parade in redwood city is theme "through the eyes of a child." family tradition is as much a

part of the festival as is the waving of old glory. this is the 76th year for the parade. the rose, white and blue parade kicked off in san jose this morning. the historic parade is a revival of the rose carnival of 1896 that featured live bands, dance groups, homemade floats, kids on bikes and antique cars. and in alameda, our own michael finney was grand marshall of the parade this morning. it's the largest fourth of july parade in the bay area, three miles long. that makes it one of the longest in the nation. the parade features more than 170 floats and 2500 participants. danville's parade drew thousands of people. the parade organized by the kiwanis club helps raise money for local community service organizations. there were other fourth of july celebrations around the country as well. we take you thrive washington, d.c. where the fireworks display is going on near the capital mall. >> looks great as fireworks are stars. it's awesome. we're kind of gearing you up for

our fireworks display in san francisco tonight. and spencer christian is live at shoreline with a look at the forecast to see if we'll be able to see those fireworks. hi, spencer. >> well, in the inland communities you will be able to see those fireworks. in san francisco it's a little iffy right now. but i'm here at the shoreline m amphitheater in mountainview. abc7 and our parent company disney are sponsors. goofy will not be here but i can be goofy if you like. live doppler showing mainly sunny skies across the bay area but we have fog at the coast beginning to push beyond the coast out over the bay and towards the east bay and through the golden gate. these are our forecast features. we will see fog continuing to hold on at the coast and around parts of the bay overnight. warming trend begins tomorrow. and it's going to be not just warm but hot by monday.

high temperatures inland near 100 degrees on sunday and monday. now, satellite image shows the area of fog not only along the coast but beginning to push through the golden gate. and as i said, sea breeze is carrying it across the bay to points in the east bay shoreline right now. and that does raise some concern about viewing conditions for the fireworks display in san francisco. our forecast animation will start at 7:00 p.m. you can see fog along the coast, around parts of the north bay, locally inland. elsewhere, though, south bay and inland east bay mostly clear overnight. now, we've been telling you the last couple of days about this mass of hot air over parts of the southwestern u.s. it has been gradually expanding westward. it will continue to do so. that's the feature that will bring us the hot weather on sunday and monday. not only here in the bay area but all across the state. overnight look for areas of low clouds and fog, mainly clear in the inland east bay and south bay. low temperatures will be generally in the 50s as

50 at santa rosa. the hottest spots will be down south, gillroy and morgan hill. on the peninsula, highs 60 on the coast at pacifica to 85 farther inland at los altos. around san francisco look for highs from 60 to 66. 60 in daley city, north bay a warm day inland for sure but a pleasantly cool one on the coast 60 degrees at bodega base and -- 70 at richmond up to 78 at fremont and castro valley. and the inland east will have a range from upper 80s to mid 90s, topping up to 95 in brentwood. seven-day forecast, sunday and monday the hottest days in the forecast period with inland highs near 100 degrees. we'll see at least mid 80s to

and the weather was right for it. a lot of people out enjoying the

beach this fourth of july. this is live pictures from santa cruz where the beach was packed today. but this year some beachgoerers are being warned to stay away. abc7 news reporter wayne freedman is live with the details for us. wayne? >> reporter: this is chrissy field as you said where we are hours away from the big fireworks show. tens of thousands of people will crowd this beach in a little while hoping the fog clears. the question is will they also crowd out a little critter that needs these dunes to survive? only in san francisco on a fourth of july would americans venture onto a beach and then be happy for wind and fog. >> do you miss the heat? >> i don't at all. not a single bit. >> reporter: now something else she'll probably miss, the sight of a western snowy plover. chrissy field and here at ocean beach, the national parks service has restricted access to dunes for dacampers and for dog without leashes. >> ma'am, are you going up into the dunes?

>> reporter: the threatened birds rest and nest here during their annual migrations between washington state and baja california. this habitat is precious stuff. >> it used to be that all of this was dune. much of this part of san francisco was a dune system. there's very little of that left. >> reporter: in reality, this might be probably as close as you'll come to seeing a snowy plover out here today. there are only 2800 of them left in the world. >> it's very rare and a special moment to see a snowy plover plover in its habitat. i know people who have worked here for 10, 12 years and have never seen one. >> reporter: some of the warning signs were almost as elusive. at chrissy field, erik williams of petaluma, his wife and four kids watch directly along the edge of a protected area, unaware of the birds or what they look like. >> would you know one if you saw one? >> probably not. >> reporter: so it would appear

that the western snowy plover needs a little p.r. along with that protection. from chrissy field in san francisco, wayne freedman, abc7 news. this holiday has been a dry one for people celebrating at the reservoir. the lake is less than one-third full and just one boat ramp is open. officials had to rope off most boat access last month because water levels dropped below the edge of the ramp. that meant lines were long today as people had to wait to start their holiday on the water. >> it's horrible. sitting there for -- 12:00 to now at 1:48 and still not in the water. >> the lake is the fifth largest lake in the state and one of the busiest. park staff are preparing for even bigger crowds tomorrow. it is not much of a beach day on the east coast. about 40,000 people lost power overnight as hurricane arthur slammed into north carolina. overall, though, there was very little damage. arthur has now weakened to a category 1 storm and is expected

to weaken even further as it moves up the coast tonight. hundreds of protesters gathered again in southern california outside a u.s. border patrol station. about a third of the crowd opposed illegal immigration. the rest were supporters. there were lots of shouting matches but no violence. it's the same spot where protesters blocked buses carrying women and children who were to be processed in murietta about an hour north of san diego. president obama took part in a naturalization ceremony at the white house today. 25 foreign-born members of the u.s. military became citizens. president obama commended their service, saying these patriots were ready to fight and die for the country despite not being full members. police have caught the second suspect they've been looking for since tuesday's home invasion and sexual assault of an elderly woman in san jose. the robbers crashed the stolen

suv into a home on their getaway. they had assaulted the elderly homeowner. officers caught a 15-year-old boy at the crash scene, but a second person ran off. police say they caught him this afternoon and he too is a juvenile. sunday will mark one year since asiana airline flight 214 slammed into the seawall at sfo leading to three deaths. the tragedy has since prompted a sharp examination of pilot training and emergency response to disasters. >> asiana flight 214 came in for a landing at sfo just before 11:30 in the morning. it crashed with 291 passengers and 16 crew members. >> the communication from the tower was alert 3, alert 3, plane crash, plane crash. >> reporter: emergency crews jumped into action at the airport. >> by the time we removed the final victim, the conditions were that the fire was banking down on us, we had heavy black smoke. >> at san francisco general

hospital, this doctor was preparing to be inundated with severely injured patients. >> as i ran downstairs to the emergency room, two of the critical people, the initial ones, were actually passing me going into the trauma bay. >> the 181 passengers suffered some kind of injury, only 12 were considered critical. >> you think you're ready and you walk down and you see this enormous disaster unfolding in front of you, you kind of have to take your own pulse for a second. >> of the 307 people onboard, only two passengers died at the crash scene, both high school students from china. one was run over twice by a san francisco fire department crew. a third person died in the hospital several days later. among those passengers onboard that day, joan jeng and her husband yun ling. they talked with abc7 news kristen zee. they told her they were

traveling to san francisco from shanghai on their dream vacation. >> translator: we suddenly crashed and i thought, oh, today i will probably die here. we impacted hard. everything shook and things fell down. and all the lights went out. >> she broke down unable to describe that day. yun ling took these pictures and that video of the scene as he watched emergency crews treat his wife. she fractured her ankle. a c.t. scan revealed massive bleeding on her brain. surgeons removed part of her skull to relieve the pressure. the couple is now back in shanghai and they shared this photo recently with kristen. yun ling writes "my wife has been in rehabilitation. the brain injury is also recovering. though joan jeng still struggles with memories of that day she has returned to work part-time. like many of the passengers injured in the asiana crash, the couple is now waiting for multiple lawsuits to be settled.

different lawyers have filed cases for all but 100 passengers. those cases are against asiana, boeing and air cruisers. they're the makers of an inflatable slide that failed to deploy after the crash. eriana airlines was fined $500,000 by the u.s. department of transportation for providing inadequate aid to crash victim's families. in late june, the national transportation safety board released its final report on the crash along with this animation showing how the pilots made 30 errors that led to the accident. >> in this instance, the flight crew overrelied on automated systems they did not fully understand. as a result, they flew the aircraft too low and too slow and collided with the seawall at the end of the runway. >> the ntsb cited contributing factors as well, including the complexity of boeing's auto throttle which it says was inadequately described in its training and operational manuals. the airline believes multiple factors are to blame for the crash. boeing denies any fault. now, there is an ntsb finding

that maybe reassuring to many fliers. seat belts aboard asiana flight 214 saved hundreds of lives. two of the three victims killed in the crash were not buckled in and had been ejected from the aircraft. just ahead, turning to technology to help those huge fireworks shows go off without a hitch. >> what's new and different this year and outgoing high tech makes

you're looking at live pictures from our camera on the embarcadero in san francisco. as thousands get ready for tonight's big fireworks show. you can see the crowds out there. >> you can. right now they're making the final preparations to send four barges out into the bay filled with sparkling goodies to light up the sky. >> they've been around for centuries, but as abc7 reporter jonathan broom explains here in the nation's high tech capital the fireworks are also high tech. >> reporter: lighting up the san francisco sky is a way of life for jeff thomas. >> we've been doing it over 40 years. probably closer to 50 years. >> reporter: back when he started, the whole 20-minute fireworks show was lit by hand with one of these.

>> by a highway flare. >> it burns for 20 minutes. >> now it's one of these. >> this is our computer operated control. >> it lights each fire work as precisely the right moment with an electric spark. >> when that little ignition takes place, off goes the shell. >> what do they call that? >> we call those electric matches or e matches. >> reporter: gone is the guesswork of timing fireworks to music. this computer calculates how early to shoot off the shells so they explode right on time. >> pst is pre-fire time. that's saying how long it's going to take, 5.7 second, 3.9 seconds. >> reporter: of course it can't do anything. >> how do you get the smiley face right side up? >> a lot of luck. >> reporter: some things haven't changed, even with all that new technology someone has to stuff 10,000 projectiles into these racks and make sure everything is rigged up to fire. >> we have a crew of 16 people out here on this barge alone. >> reporter: for two whole days,

it's tough work with dangerous cargo. >> we have to keep them dry, we have to keep them away from static electricity. we have to be careful we don't drop them. any of these shells alone if you hold anytime your hand and it goes off you can kiss your hand goodbye. >> reporter: they take safety seriously, and thanks to computers their hands don't always have to be so close anymore. >> most all of us have all of our fingers. hearing maybe not. >> reporter: in san francisco, jonathan bloom, abc7 news. >> well, for the perfect fireworks you got to have the right forecast, right? >> you certainly do. spencer christian is live at shoreline amphitheater with a look at our forecast tonight. hi, spencer? >> okay, i hope this is the right forecast for you. certainly sunny here in advance of the san francisco symphony playing along with the fireworks display here. let's take a look at live doppler with our weather closer to the bay where the fireworks display going off tonight we do have some fog at the coast and moving out locally over the bay. so that may obscure the view of

the fireworks a little bit in san francisco. here's an event planner forecast for the san francisco symphony's fireworks and weather is comfortable here. tomorrow state-wide is going to be a hot fifth of july with high temperatures in many inland areas at or above 100 degrees. and closer to home in the bay area we're going to have a warmer day than today as well. highs inland will reach mid 90s. then the seven days ahead we'll see 100 degrees possibly in our inland locations on sunday and monday. eric and alma? still to come, a new recall from foster farms. what you need to look out for. plus the new technology to prevent infections for soldiers on the battlefield. what researchers if i eat this super creamy and delicious tillamook marionberry pie ice cream right now i'll explode into creamy happiness.

researchers at lawrence livermore lab have creating a powerful way of diagnosing infections that fit into the palm of your hand. they believe it will save lives from hospitals to the

battlefield. for american soldiers wounded in combat, identifying infections can mean the difference between life and death. now researchers at the lawrence livermore lab believe they can deliver that power to the battlefield and beyond. >> once it's labelled the dna is extracted, we load the sample onto the microray. >> biomedical scientist nicholas bay is loading samples onto a tiny microarray, slightly larger than a match box. it's designed to identify thousands of different viruses and bacteria that might be present in a wound. >> the ability to really comprehensively survey what's in a wound is really powerful. because you don't necessarily have to say okay we want to look for for example mrsa or e. coli or this or that. we can say we're going to look for everything. >> the array can detect the signature of any bacteria or virus that's been previously sequenced, about 8,000 so far. biologist crystal jong says that includes potential threats

unique to modern warfare such as biological weapons. >> because it's very comprehensive it covers the dna signatures for known and unknown as well for example anthrax. >> the array was able to flag previously undetected pathogens in about a third of the wound samples tested. analyst john allen says high-speed computer models can identify even tiny levels of bacteria before they grow into trouble. >> it's something that a low level that may be antibiotic resistant if you treat the wound with an antibiotic it could very quickly change and become the dominant organism. >> the livermore team believes the array could ensure u.s. soldiers receive the right treatments quicker to ensure the wounds they've suffered in battle heal faster and more efficiently. >> to really allow us to develop more of a personalized medicine for the soldiers to heal better. >> with current technologies the system can analyze a sample and

give you an answer in just 24 hours. in a recall tonight from foster farms, 170 chicken products have been recalled because of possible salmonella infection. chicken use by dates from march 21st to march 29th. the products were produced at central valley plant. mike shoeman is here with a look at world cup soccer. >> we talked about our wardrobe this morning. soccer, two games on tap. host nation brazil with some bad news. star striker neymar kneed in the back of the game against columbia had to leave the game will not be available for the semis. broke a vertebrae. but we'll kick around
