overnight near a small encampment. that fire downed power lines and a number of transformers, causing power outages in the area. that fire burned in the area of 45th avenue and east 12th street, right next to a lot filled with tall stacks of wooden palettes. so far no word on a cause. now to the coronavirus. dozens of people showed up to get vaccinated in mountain view today. el camino health organized the mobile clinic specifically for young people who live in underserved communities. their hope is to get as many people 12 and over vaccinated before school starts. another clinic is scheduled in two weeks at columbia middle school in sunnyvale. no appointment is necessary. the effort to vaccinate was also happening in hayward where the group la familia organized a combined food giveaway and vaccination event. all was free and available to anyone just willing to show up. those over 12 who received the vaccine also got a $50 gift card. the kids got ice cream. >> we know that a lot of our

essential workers are here. we know that families that have direct access to the public are here. and that maybe has some mistrust in the vaccine. part of our job is not just to provide these resources but also educate our community on the benefits of getting vaccinated. >> 40 to 50 people were vaccinated in just the first two hours of the event. la familia also confirmed that they can also bring the vaccine straight to people's homes. in the north bay, there are more signs of a new covid surge. yesterday sonoma county reported over 1,000 cases. they haven't topped that number since march. cases, along with the positivity rate, have been rising as more contagious variants have spread. the cdc says all the new cases in the united states are new variabilities with the delta accounting for 83% of them. growing concern tonight that the current covid surge may not peak until mid-october.

place blame, but what we can do is provide accurate information to people who are not yet vaccinated about the risks they are incurring on themselves and the people around them. >> reporter: there could be a major change for those who are already vaccinated. "the new york times" reporting senior health officials in the biden administration now believe a third shot may be necessary for recipients of the pfizer or moderna vaccines who are 65 and older or who have compromised immune systems. the cdc says it's exploring multiple options for making a third dose available to the immunocompromised but more evidence is needed. trevor ault, abc news, new york. moving on to the major wildfires in california. the dixie fire in butte and plumas counties is now the large nest the state. the tamarack fire in the southern sierra remains out of control. crews say the tamarack fire is moving quickly and has scorched so far more than 101 square miles. water drops like this one are

there is another sign of just how bad the drought is in california, and farmers could be the ones who take the brunt of it. the state water resources control board put out an order that would essentially keep farmers from tapping into the state's rivers and streams. this would then affect those in sacramento and the san joaquin river watersheds. many farmers in the central valley have already seen their water allocations reduced. keep in mind, it is not final, but the board is set to vote on the order on august 3rd. the gilroy garlic festival is back after two difficult years. this was the first since a mass shooting in 2019, and last year it was canceled because of the pandemic. that force t reimagine the festival as a drive-thru event. things may have changed, but the flavors and aromas are still the same. this was the second soldout day in a row. >> we had a hard couple years, so we're here to support them. >> this is tradition with our

september. that was a wild time. we have issues with smoke across parts of northern california. here locally that nice marine layer behind us. live doppler 7 is quiet. outside, sutra tower, the marine layer coming in. a lot of us will wake up to fog first thing in the morning. but i want to go to lake tahoe. here's live look. the water looks beautiful, but look at the air. the smoke is just so thick right now from several wildfires, and the winds are just going to keep this smoke in place for the second half of the weekend. here's the smoke forecast. and there you can see overnight tonight, and this is tomorrow morning, you can see that thick smoke just settling over parts of the sierra, especially around lake tahoe right here in western nevada. so unfortunately, the wind direction right now is going to keep that smoke in place where it is currently. you look at the bay area, that onshore flow is keeping our air fresh and will remain pretty clean over the next two days. your air quality forecast here at home, pretty good. good to go across a majority of the region not only tomorrow but

coastal drizzle as well. san francisco at 54. 55 for oakland. 58 for san jose. that marine push first thing tomorrow morning. it will pull back to the coast in the morning, but we will see some high clouds move in into the afternoon. partly sunny to finish out the weekend here on sunday. 70 in oak land. 64 in the city. 81 in san jose. 79 in santa rosa. hit about 91, a warm spot, in antioch. the accuweather seven-day forecast. morning clouds, breezy afternoon tomorrow. cloudier and cooler on monday. a slight chance of thunder on tuesday. again, i think the best chance is north and east of the bay area. otherwise temperatures turn up by wednesday and thursday. it is a summer sizzle. abc 7 sports sponsored by river rock casino. >> the summer olympics are underway in tokyo. steve kerr, draymond green, kevin durant and the rest of usa basketball plays their first game tomorrow morning 5:00 a.m. locally against france. three more players just showed up in japan, but they did have a
