has burned at least 81,000 acres. and that number could go up because we're about to get an update. and the other top story, the protest over the shooting of jacob blake in wisconsin. nba teams refusing to play to stand in solidarity with protesters. the reaction from the golden state warriors. good morning, everybody. it is thursday, august 27. a lot to get to this friday evening. we'll start with mike. >> thanks for saying that. yeah, that puts it in perspective. we'll take a look at that weekend forecast will it will get a little warmer. let's start with your air quality. pretty clean until you get to san rafael and that is where the poorest air quality is. in the north bay, we have an earthquake this morning, about a 3.5. but no i a look at the seabreez which contains a little bit

administer moisture, so look for the drizzle this morning. i had to use them when i drove in this morning. you may have to also. here is a look at your temperatures. mid to upper 60s from half moon bay to san francisco. 70 to 77 around the bay and 80s inland. 90s are coming up in the forecast. happening today, the california national guard will be joining in the firefight against the lnu lightning complex. they have scorched more than 360,000 acres. and containment is 33%. 300 soldiers haveraining at the fair grounds so that they can help out. >> having these additional boots on the ground to get in there and physically did tto do the w that we need, it is perfect

timing. >> firefighters are hoping that they can take advantage of the humidity to get more containment. they say winds have already played to their favor. half moon bay will be closing its beaches this weekend again. the city says it is dealing with an in-234ruks of advantage's from the czu complex fires. they need to concentrate resource for displaced evacuees and not the flukts influx of to. the city has one evacuation center set up at half moon bay high school. fire officials have an update on the czu lightning complex fires burning. let's listen in. >> we can confirm 21% containment, there are however

still over 23,000 structures threatened by the fire. unfortunately, we can confirm that there have been 646 structures that have been destroyed. a lot are in san mateo inan cruz county. with that, our personnurces arr. and we now have 1982 firefighting personnel on the line. and i'll transition over to an operations briefing from cal fire imt 3. >> good morning. so the past few days as mentioned, we've had a lot of good success about establishing more control lines around the fire, being able to get deeper into the fire, continuing to extinguish fire around homes and start creating a more safe environment as we are entering more towards repopulation potential down the road.

so just again in the north zone of our fire, we're starting to see a lot of great progress in that north zone. again, the line has held in the patrol and mopup status and that has protected any movement of the fire toward santiago sclar are a county. we're confident that that will hold. we can best take advantage of suppression activities. again, the weather has really mitigated the progression of the fire which is good. but as far as the operation getting down to fully extinguish it, it is a slow process, but we're getting there. and as we move down toward the coast, we're going in and putting a control line around it so that we are confident that that part of it is fully controlled. getting a lot of progress along that way and folks are

patrolling that. down towards davenport, a lot of great progress there. the utility companies are in there working so that we can restore that community. the highway 1 corridor, caltrans has worked to make sure that that is open and ready to receive people on that roadway. south end of the fire, you will see some black line here an we'll continue to put black line on the map as the next coming days, our line is holding very well in that area and secondary line of course. so for the protection of the camp campus they are this good shape. especially with the weather that we'll be seeing the next couple days where it will start to get pa warmer, drier and a bit of a north wind pushing on that line. that will validate for us that line and it being able to hold

with lot of confidence. we have good line around three quarters of felton. and yesterday the big story was burning operation that was going on the north he said and tying into the bottom end of ben lomond on a line that has been established. that had to be delayed due to the weather in particular. just wasn't conducive for the burning conditions so we wanted to get the right conditions to get the most effective burn possible. the burn operation ended up starting later in the day around 3:00 to 4:00 in the afternoon and we had to take it slow, it was a slow painstaking process. so that delayed that. but what i personally witnessed, it was going very well. we had adequate resources, we had highly qualified resources in there so that we had a very safe effective burn and they were able to get probably about just over half, almost three quarters done. they will continue that process

today. it is just the weather is what we're doing, so we're making sure that we don't continue on and have not an effective burn. so we want to make sure that it is efficient and that will continue today. so it will produce smoke. yesterday afternoon in the daylight hours, people saw a lot more smoke production. that is what it was. that is normal. it shows that we are having an effective burn. so even from a distance i could tell that they were doing great work. moving up highway 9 corridor, ben will he mond, boulder creek, looking really good. we have gotten an influx of a lot of resources throughout yesterday, all day long i saw messages coming in from my operation section chiefs that divi out the resources.

and we were giving them out according to our needs and strategies. we were seeing everything from engines, crew which is we desperately need, the type one crews. so everything was showing up that we needed. and we are putting them directly to work. we were also saving a few of them so we follow out our shift. we didn't want to overload one shift and not have a shift that is not fully staffed. so it is a balancing act. and today we have a very robust shift to be able to tackle this challenge. the rest of it is looking really good. caltrans is in there working so they can get deeper into the park. boone any do you kn bonny doon, same thing. we have the road crews going in, getting that opened up so the inspection crews can get in

there. getting the you act utility cret they can do their work. so we're getting to that point where they are getting their work done, we're getting our work done and it is a very symbiotic in the challenge. air support, yesterday the weather was not helpful to that. we could not get any recognizance flights in. so we didn't have as much success from the air. but we feel going forward we'll have a lot more success, timing out the aircraft, dropping a lot of water. and another day closer to accomplishing our mission and getting this done and people back at home. >> speaking next from the santa cruz sheriff office is chief deputy chris clark.

>> good morning. fairly quiet night for us. no arrests, noits we continue kind of that trend which is a good thing. last night we had 60 officers and deputies that were patrolling. today we'll have 42, 21 from the sheriff's office, 14 from our county partners and seven mutual aid. in terms of calls for service, we responded to ten welfare checks and three suspicious people. on a positive note, that we located one of the three missing people that we had still outstanding. so thank you for those that clled in and helped us with that. so we still have two missing. so again, we just encourage you if you have heard from them, their information is on our facebook page, take a look at that. and if you recognize them or you know them, either have them call us or you call us.

we'd appreciate it. and another thing that we wered have been inundated with animal requests to feed animals and to check on animals. we're assisting them with that. last night our folks hit over 100 different homes in assisting animal services with taking care of pets that were unfortunately left behind. so animal services is doing everything that they can to get out there. and as i spoke about last night, repopulation. that is where our focus is now in addition to security. and welfare checks. but with repopulation, i just want to reiterate to f w have been displaced to know your zone. going to cal fire's bse, ta a lookt for this fire, understanding kind of where and what zone you reside and then again watching to see and

following our social media, making sure that it is a trusted source and checking that map. so there is more information to come. there will be more information as we go along. but check those resources and taking a look again at that map to know what zone you are in. so definitely know your zone. and then waiting at checkpoints. i mentioned last night that i can understand people's rush to get back. i would want to get back home. but what we don't want to see, we want to do it as systemic as possible to get people in as efficiently as possible. so didn't feel like you have to wait at a checkpoint for more information. we will absolutely keep you the best informed so that we can get you home as fast as possible. and i think i mentioned this last night, someone said will it be a foot race between myself and some thief to my house. that is not the ain a present

throughout the repopulation to make sure people are settled we a whole ton of people at the checkpoint just waiting. but keep apprised of the different information sources that are out there between cal fire and lastly i want to touch on the damage assessment map. that map will continue to grow, but you can find that at santa cruz county.us. as well as other resources for folks that have been displaced. thank you. >> next speaking on behalf of all the un find incident commanders.

>> one week ago we started a large evacuation process and moved several thousand residents out of the area both for their safety and the safety of our firefighters. over the course of the next 48 hours, we'll be looking at repopulating different areas in and around this fire, making the recommendations with our law enforcement partners. obviously you heard it needs to be a coordinated and methodical process. we need to ensure that we have electricity, we need to ensure the roadways are safe to travel. we need to make sure that we have corridors for our firefighters to travel in and out of the fire area. we need to make sure that the water is in place. that is a coordinated effort. it takes a lot of different agencies to ensure this occurs. obviously the community of

davenport, you hear that we're working wi working with pg&e to get that secure and make it safe. fire perimeter, each day we're gaining confident as we increase our resources. today we'll have ovehave 1,000 firefighters out there working diligently. each day we increase our containment efforts on this incident and we'll continue to do that until we have 100% contained. we've been able to lift the evacuation orders in this area. thank you. >> final speaker this morning, cal fire unit chief ian larkin. >> good morning. the team is doing an outstanding job. they are working with our

cooperators, getting our infrastructure back. this fire burned through a lot of areas, tack out so took out . so on it is important that you don't drive off into a ravine. so it will take time. so we're asking for your patience. the incident is working diligently. we have every available resource that we can out there working in a safe manner to try to mitigate this incident as quickly as possible. i want to reemphasize what chief deputy clark said. for damage inspection as that continues, the numbers continue to go up, one day your house may not be on there and the next day as we continue damage in-extensiinspectio inspection, more structures will be added to that. and that link to that map can be found at that santa cruz

county.u.s. and for the repopulation, the link to that map is sm mco.community and that will will you you to see what zones are being repopulated. it wil red to green to indicate approved for repopulation. and for those identified through the damage inspection that your homes have received some type of damage or have been destroyed, there are several resources out there that i have stated before, but just want to reiterate that you can go to the disaster assistance.gov, there is a lot of resources available to you to start that process for the recovery i'side. and you can download the fema

map for their resources available. and so we're just asking for additional patience as we work through this to make this environment as safe as possible for you to return to the areas where you reside. thank you. >> with that, we're happy to answer any questions. you've been watching this update on the czu lightning complex. and they told us that the fire basically just grew a little bit last night. so in the scheme of things, hardly anything. just an increase of 196 acres since about 8:00 last night. so that is excellent news. right now the fire stands at 81,333 acres and it is 21% contained. there are resources available to show exactly how many structures have been destroyed. and there are resources available to let you know when

you can return to various areas that have been evacuated. they are urging people totiunl online or when they call because they don't want people just to physically wait around to get the signal that it is time to go back in. of course they understand that people want to get the updates on their property as soon as they can. so overall a very optimistic outlook on how the firefighters are doing. about 1,000 of them c

in oakland a protest continued violence. they attempted to set fire to businesses and cars, and windows

and businesses were vandalized. the superior courthouse was also set on fire and vandalized. police arrested several people. the nba board of directors will meet today to decide what is next as players are boycotting the postseason to protest the shooting of jacob blake. bucks announce that had they would not play their playoff game and that promgtpted the cancellation of two others. they say the shooting is another example of an unacceptable pattern across america. and doc rivers says that we have to demand better. >> we keep loving and loved back. it is really so sad. >> other major sports are following the lead.

the wnba, major league baseball and soccer have postponed their games in solidarity. the san jose earthquakes released a statement saying that their organization stands with the black community. and being a big sports fan and doc rivers fan, his father is a retired policeman. so you can imagine the turmoil that he is feeling seeing this continue to happen across our country. 48 in the santa cruz mountains, 100% relative humidity, those are great weather conditions and a reason that we're seeing such positive information coming out of these press conferences every morning. but a drier marine layer and faster breezes and warmer afternoon moving ahead. and san rafael, you have the poorest air quality around our neighborhoods. a little drizzle this morning. look at the heat developing tomorrow away from the coast and lingering through wednesday.

i'm step outside above the mist and drizzle that is hanging around. this is mt. tam. notice the air is a little cleaner up above the marine layer, but we still have the possibility of pockets of unhealthy air in the south bay at least through tomorrow. so morning drizzle will give way to a little bit of sunshine this afternoon. temperatures always cooler than yesterday, but that will quickly change tomorrow. the trough of lop is inducing the juicier seabreeze for today. once it passes, that is when it gets hotter. and so we have had some drizzle in the east bay hills. by noon, drizzle back to the coast, and the clouds still hanging around the bay. but unlike yesterday, i think ne exc drizzle will dry up in the afternoon hours. so south bay, upper 70s. the spread from 73 in millbrae to about 81 in redwood city on
