bay area. as far as we and the this time it is burning in one warehouse. it is unclear if it made its way to other warehouses at fisherman's wharf at pier 45 and firefighters tell us additional structures including the "uss jeremiah o'brien" ship are in danger. here is the live picture and you can just see if you've been following now that smoke is really traveling and making its way across the city. if you wake up and go outside you might see it or smell it or notice it but we're not seeing flames right now. that is good news when they say they're making progress we can see it here in this live video. progress is being made. we're waiting to get an update. lisa, over to you now because i know you've been talking about there is very little wind this morning which is also kind of impacting how this smoke moves.

>> the only wind we're going to see, liz, is the seabreeze which starts probably about 2:00 this afternoon. so right now, winds are calm. coming out of the north. anywhere from 1 to 2 miles an hour if that. that is allowing the smoke to drift upwards in the atmosphere. not moving much. not dispersing. temperatures are in the low 50s. a live look outside from our east bay hills camera, where we'll have a pleasant day today in the 80s. everyone going up 3 to 8 degrees. a typical seabreeze, beautiful day around the bay area. but the heat is building day after day. i'll have my

welcome back. here is a live look at that four-alarm fire we've been tracking at pier 45 this morning at fisherman's wharf. you can just see how much smoke is now traveled across t evy te we cck back in visiorse od news., rlier th morning so t

progress is being made. you can just see how smokey this is. take a look at this shot here. this visibility, the sales force tower just peeking out over the smoke. you can just see how much this smoke has traveled across not only san francisco but the bay area. i've been mentioning someone said they're seeing the smoke from their home in daly city. as you wake up this morning and smell smoke or sense that smoke, this is what it's from. here is our mount tam camera. you can just see the smoke as well coming out, flooding over the bay here and spreading out over the bay. so this is really going to be impacting everybody this morning in some way or another. this is our live picture where you can see the smoke there at pier 45. i know many of you are probably very familiar with pier 45. it is an historic part of san francisco. fisherman's wharf not far from the square and so it is a place that so many people are familiar with. not only people who live here but tourists all around the world.

this is a very historic area, four-alarm fire this morning. we first got reports around 4:40 this morning. progress has been made. that is what the san francisco fire department is saying. no injuries reported. no word on the cause of the fire. that is still to be determined or to find out from fire officials. we do have a crew on their way right now so hopefully we'll get a live update soon. but again, four-alarm fire. this is the smoke making its way across the bay area and this is earlier today from on the ground there as the firefighters battle those flames. it quickly made its way up from the one-alarm fire to a four-alarm fire this morning and we've been following this all morning since we've been on the air at 5:00 a.m. and we could hear the fire trucks making their way there from our studio

here on the embarcadero. this is something we're following all morning, four-alarm fire at a warehouse at pier 45 that we're told has threatened additional structures and even the "ss jeremiah o'brien" ship one of the two functioning liberty ships launched during world war ii. no update on whether the firefighters were able to save that ship. we will try to get those answers and more this morning. lisa, i'll toss it over to you now because in addition to tracking all of this smoke now you're tracking the heat. >> the national weather service has issued an excessive heat watch to go into effect next week monday through thursday. it seems like a long ways away and extensive time period, four days. and it is. usually we get our heat waves about two days and that seabreeze comes back. but this looks like the heat especially in our inland valleys is going to build and stay with us throughout much of the upcoming work week. so although today is very pleasant, it is really the only

one where we'll have the overnight lows drop off to cool us off like they did this morning because after that, we're looking at the nights to be very warm in the 60s and even 70s. a live look outside looking at emeryville where it is nice and clear and temperatures are coming up today. it's 53 in san francisco. 51 san jose. 44 in gilroy. oakland sitting at 52. beautiful view from the camera. a few patches of fog and some down toward sfo, also toward the central coast. 44 santa rosa. 58 by the delta. 48 in livermore. with all of the sunshine, numbers will be pleasant. a little warmer though. 5 to 8 degrees warmer out there especially inland. we'll still have the seabreeze at the coast and a look at santa cruz, 50 right now. low 70s return. beautiful day out there with the warming trend beginning today. and then the heat intensifies as we get to memorial day. so even tomorrow is going to be warm for some folks but it is

really monday where temperatures are really going to feel pretty sticky and then building on after that. into tuesday, wednesday, thursday looks like a return to a seabreeze but the excessive heat watch, you can see almost the entire bay area increasing the risk of heat illness, the first widespread and prolonged heat wave we've seen all year. notice the marin county coast line and the san mateo coast are outside of the heat wave. also the monterey area. but we will look for the numbers here on the holiday to reach 100 degrees. antioch and fairfield upper 90s livermore. 80s around the bay. 70 san francisco. then on tuesday the pifrnks, excessive heat even closer to parts of the east bay. tuesday and wednesday expect to be the hottest days. here on wednesday 101 in livermore. could see about 80 in san francisco. light to absent seabreeze by

then. mid 70s today in oakland. 83 in napa. and because we had some rain not too long ago, we're not too concerned about the fire danger. as we go through the next several days it is this we're going to be missing, overnight lows in the 40s and 50s to help cool us off. the accu weather seven-day forecast looking at today, a nice day warmer by about 5 to 8 degrees and then really a taste of summer with the heat wave beginning by the holiday. liz? >> all right. thanks, lisa. i just want to say, we can smell smoke here inside our studio at the embarcadero and front street. it just gives you a sense of how much this smoke is traveling as we track that four-alarm fire at pier 45 this morning at fisherman's warf. more new video coming in showing the plume of smoke rising up right next to the tower there. we'll have more.

all right. back to our breaking news out of san francisco, the four-alarm fire at pier 45 burning now at a warehouse at pier 45 at fisherman's wharf. you can just see the visibility is not very strong with all of that smoke now spreading out across the bay area. firefighters tell us additional structures and the ss jeremiah o'brien ship are threatened because of this fire although we do know they have made progress and we are waiting for an update through the san francisco fire department to see the state of the fire right now and whether they were able to contain it before it mae its way to the ship or other structures. it is unclear what ignited these flames. crews say no one has been hurt and we are closely monitoring this. we can smell smoke here inside our studio. if you're wondering why you maybe smell smoke or you walk out and see haziness in the sky, this smoke is traveling across

san francisco, across the bay area this morning. this is earlier and this is earlier video as well. i'm just told by our producer that we are just getting word that the warehouse is a total loss. so at least one warehouse there that this fire was burning in is from officials a total loss. how much it may be spread to other structures we are waiting to find out. the good news is they've made progress. no one has been injured. check out this video. this is new video we've just gotten the past few minutes, video showing a smoke plume this morning rising up where you can see it next to the tower just striking video. it shows how bigheke was and now sort ng and spreading across the bay area. again, here is a live picture. you can see across the bay.

that is something we're trying to wait and get answers for. i'm still firefighters are trying to in some ways make the determinations and figure it out as well through an investigation. check out this video here that we've been getting sid yo sent to us from across the bay area. if you have anything feel free to send it as well. we want to see it because you can just see how far people around the bay area could see this smoke plume rising up there. this is so striking with the tower right there. if we look at live pictures you can see how much smoke is spread across the bay area. that is probably the impact all of us feel this morning and throughout the day. even here, we thought we were sort of going crazy at first but a bunch of us are saying, no. we smell smoke inside our studio here. our abc 7 news studio on the embarcadero. the smoke is traveling across the bay and just be aware and prepared for that this morning. this is an histor5.

minute. meantime, keeping care of your health throughout this pandemic and this recovery period as we talk about coronavirus is a main focus of abc 7 news as we work to build a better bay area. and one piece that is so often left out or goes unnoticed is your mental health. it takes extra importance as may right now is mental health awareness month. it is easy to feel isolated or struggle to find ways to remain hopeful. this morning in an interview that you'll see only on 7, abc 7 news reporter kate larson spoke to robin williams' son about overcoming his own mental health challenges and now working to help others. >> reporter: this side. a little shelter-in-place hair humor to kick off my conversation with zack williams the oldest child of legendary actor and comedian robin williams. >> i have hand sanitizer. i wonder if i could use that as gel. lavendar spray. i smell a lot like lavendar. i have scissors, too. >> reporter: perfect.

>> good morning. thank you for joining us. could you tell us the state of the fire right now? >> this is not what any of us wanted to wake up to at 4:15 in the morning at the beginning of memorial day weekend but something special that did come out of this very tragic event is the historic jeremiah o'brien that has been docked here since 1994. our firefighters successfully saved this ship. our operations chief absolutely saved the "jeremiah o'brien" during this fire as flames went pin jing on the side of the vessel. we are happy to say not only did we save it but there is an easing for the memorial day weekend. this fire is 45c as in charlie at the end of pier 45 in a commercial district of the marina. this warehouse houses the

jeremiah o'brien historical group as well as a couple other groups. we are told the building is not occupied during the evening. however, our investigators and rescue company groups are actively doing research and reinvestigation interviews to make sure that is in fact the case. during this fire, which evolved rapidly from a first-alarm fire at 4:15 to a four-alarm fire bringing 145 firefighters and 50 apparatus to the scene is still an active fire fruk 13 the fire truck did obtain structural damage to the fire truck itself. no injuries to the firefighters. this is something we don't hope happens but we have to have plans in place to make sure that we don't lose the entire pier

and the truck company placed them in a safe position at the beginning of the first-alarm fire to actively protect the fire from spreading to other warehouses which it did. we had other hoses that were used to help protect the truck company as its water pipe operation placed water on this fire. when we had other companies within the fourth alarm to assist we pulled that truck company out and replaced it with another one. we are anticipating we'll be here throughout the afternoon fighting this fire. we are asking the public to please avoid the area. we are asking private vessels to please stay out of the area. we have the united states coast guard and san francisco police department marine units keeping the perimeter so our fire boats can address and help fight this fire and put this out safely. we do have our newly acquired rescue, fire rescue boat number one which is on the other side of the building that was helping

protect the fire from spreading to other warehouses as well. currently again we have no injuries to the fire. we have multiple agencies assisting us with determining if there is any damage to the pier itself or the structural integrity of the pier. we'll have observations on that at a later time. our fire investigators are on scene. this investigation will take some time and will have information on the cause and origin at a later date. >> amazing work on all of those firefighters' part, lieutenant. what do you know about evacuations? we heard reports there were some evacuations in the area overnight or early this morning. did that happen? how many people? >> so the evacuations were for the firefighters and we're starting to see the building collapse or the walls start to collapse so we evacuated firefighters from that perimeter or the outside of this fire just to ensure we had their safety zone. that allows us to get accountability for all of our firefighters to make sure everybody is safe at which time

we positioned a few that were not damaged and continued to aggressively fight the fire. there are some warehouses that have night crews adjacent to this and we also evacuated those. these are commercial okay pansies only. no residential occupancy. >> what do you know of the cause of the fire? you are investigating whether there could have been anyone inside overnight. any sense of what started this fire? >> again, our cause and origin will be determined by our joint fire task force which is the task force comprised of seasoned san francisco firefighter investigators and seasoned san francisco fire investigators within the police department. this takes sometime as we're actively fighting this fire. when the fire is completely out they'll be able to start the process of going through the building for cause and origin. at this time they are interviewing individuals that may have witnessed this and

looking at other dynamics with the fire toelp , leadential poi occupancy, we are aware that within this district homeless individuals will encamp in buildings and warehouses. that is something of grave concern. that is why we have continued to have investigators aggressively trying to confirm if anybody saw anybody going into this building look ath video camera footage, etcetera. to our knowledge we do not have anybody that is in the building. to our knowledge, there is nobody that was supposed to be in the building. and we have no victims. >> all ao a i ers other structures at this time that are being threatened. this is obviously an iconic pier. there are tourist attractions there. you were able to save the "uss jeremiah o'brien" ship.

are there other buildings currently threatened? >> no. we placed our fire apparatus again we have to come up with evaluations of safety of our firefighters and the ability to protect the iconic structures here on the pier. these commercial buildings. and ensuring there is no life danger. we are lucky and happy to say that we were able to protect the exposure buildings or adjoining buildings from being damaged by the fire. >> that is good news. my final question for you. what have been some of the challenges in fighting this fire this morning? the weather conditions? did that impact trying to fight this fire? >> again, we aggressively trained, you know, we call them drills or training on a weekly basis. specifically, almost at this exact location and other areas

within these piers on how to get hose lines to the piers, how to innovate the fire boats into aggressively fighting the fires. how to check other piers, etcetera. so some unique items, we utilized two fire boats, the "st. francis" fire boat number 3 and the newly acquired fire rescue boat number 1 which is used for rescue operations and firefighting operations. and then were able to draft water, unlimited water from the bay. it basically just recirculates through the incident and is able to put thousands of gallons of water a minute on to the fire which again contributed to saving the "jeremiah o'brien" and the rescue boat 1 really helped hold the fire from spreading to adjoining warehouses on the water front from the other side of the fire.

we special our hose tenders. we called out hose tenders which has thousands of feet of 5-inch hose which is large diameter hose so the equivalent of having basically an above ground fire hydrant system. we were able to put those into fire hydrants not within the system here so we could get more water that is not going to have a pressure issue to help us fight this fire. so a lot of dynamics go into this. a lot of different agencies assisting us. and we wouldn't have been able to put this fire out if we didn't have our pre-established, collaborative partnerships with all of our citizens here in the community who calle11 immediately d were able >>ornkoull so mu. i th your time. very much appreciated.
