six miles from lake tahoe, the battle to hold back the caldor fire consisted of skirmishes. crews getting up close and more than impertinence with a tenacious enemy. our associate, lake valley fire district number seven. this is your district? >> yes. >> so it is personal? >> yes, an important area for us. >> a few miles up highway 50, grim reminders of what is at stake when the wind blows. >> we are putting emphasis on not losing homes. we cannot guarantee anything. >> that is the ideal as fire moved out canyon walls above highway 50 and ended the same on the opposite side, all toward a community in the middle. >> that area is christmas valley. >> a name they hope will not make headlines. spot fires have been appearing all day, embers carried by wind, sometimes as much as three quarters of a mile. this threatening to cross highway 89. >> a spod re

reporter: how many have you fought? 'ably on the lower end. reporter: by the time they arrived, it expanded a couple hundred yards thanks to more flying embers. that is only their first issue. >> we have about a quarter left. about one or two left. >> meaning 200 gallons for all of this, plus leaving more for just in case. >> we have to keep enough in our tank to protect our tank in case something goes bad. >> fortunately, it went well. just another clash between men and a stubborn blaze and i gave up in this spot and reignited a few hundred yards farther down the road. in short, this fire eight hour a day job. when we left christmas valley a short time ago, so far so good. no homes burned.

about half an hour ago, a spokesperson came up to me, knocked on our door, said worry about the wind. they are worried about the wind. this paper blowing. it blew out of my hand. there were winds of 40 miles per hour this afternoon. it can spell trouble. wayne freedman, abc 7. >> the winds will persist. looking behind you, it looks very smoky. maybe that is mixed in with the fog. what is the area like? reporter: i will tell you what the air is like. i have had this on most of the day. as soon as we go off the air, i will have it on again. it is horrible. it is worse air quality than what we saw in san francisco that day the sky turned black. particulate and matter everywhere. it gets in your eyes, your nose, it is in my throat. i'm getting a raspy sound already. we have several days to go. that answers your question. kristen: thanks.

flown up to a mile ahead of the fund. it is very dry because of the drought. the vegetation easily catching on fire. spot fires ahead of the main fire. it will eventually connect with the fire front and increase the size of the fire. within the last day, the fire grew by about 13,000 acres. dan: henry herrera, the battalion chief on the fire lines. that is terrifying. thank you for the explanation. it explains why this spreads so rapidly. if embers from the fire are blown into the air and mile ahead of the flames and start new fires, and the fire catches up with it, it grows that much more rapidly. it puts it into perspective. given that, the wind, the rough terrain, what are the firefighters focusing on right now? how do they prioritize what they need to do? >> the number one priority is life. to protect residents, citizens,

folks in and around the community close to the fire. that is why we issued an evacuation order. an imminent threat to life, to folks around myers and the city of south lake tahoe. once folks are evacuated, we can focus on protecting their homes, structures, the infrastructure, the community they live in. that is the number two priority. we are receiving more resources, we currently have 3900 firefighters. more are arriving every day. those resources will be in place primarily in the northeast end. we are strategically determining where we can construct containment lines with bulldozers and hand crews with chainsaws to remove the vegetation, material that can be consumed in order to help reduce or spread the rate of the wildfire. dan: how close is the wildfire to south lake tahoe? >> the most northeastern end end

the fire is approximately three miles south of the southern border of the city of south lake tahoe. dan: i know that is a grave concern for people in the bay area who enjoy and treasure lake tahoe. very unusual cross from one side of the sierra to the other, which is very unusual. what does it mean for fighting the fire and the future? seems like an awfully bad sign. >> absolutely. we are in the middle of a drought. very little rain, very little snow. the snow we receive is melting earlier in the year. that means the vegetation goes without water for much of the year, causing it to be very dry. we have very steep top harbor feet. fire burns much faster uphill with mountainous conditions. with the hot, dry, windy weather, it makes this fire burn

very hot, very intense, and at a fast rate of spread. the conditions on the ground are very challenging and dangerous. dan: a perfect storm in so many respects. we wish you and everyone working hard all the best and be safe. battalion chief henry herrera. thank you for coming on. >> absolutely, i appreciate it. kristen: let's take a look at the time lapse video of the caldor fire from 22,000 miles up. it was put together from images captured by the go west weather satellite. you can see the smoke spreading across the sierra and into nevada. let's head right to jury to meant for a look at how the caldor is spreading and the role of the winds. drew: let's take you through the northeastern part. officials are most can turned with this area. there is myers. this fire over the last 24 hours did jump over highway 89.

now in the eastern part of 89. current winds, no reason to believe the fire is not going to push to the east. winds coming out of the southwest, gusting as high as 35 miles per hour. to the south, south lake tahoe. tahoe airport, christmas valley. we are watching this fire in the bridge tops above myers right now. firefighters are working this area aggressively, along pioneer trail. they are trying to make a barrier using bulldozers to keep the fire in the ridge tops, away from the basin floor, where there are a lot of structures that can catch fire. we are also watching the kirkwood area. it is inching ever so closely to kirkwood, because coming from the southwest, pushing the fire closer to kirkwood. here is the red flag warning. it has been extended until tomorrow night. the fire danger will last another 30 hours. dan: a shame to hear.

this pandemic once and for all behind us. reporter: overall, at least 80% of the eligible population in california has received at least one dose. it is these community efforts that has led oakland to achieve 86% of our eligible population having received their first vaccination. as much progress as they have made in fruitvale, this community lags well behind the rest of it comes to vaccination rates. at least 10% lower. >> early on, at the beginning of the pandemic, fruitvale was hit so hard. our positivity rate was reaching 32%, which is extremely high. we are down to 13%, and it is still too high. reporter: she told us she was hesitant to get the vaccine until recently, but is now relieved she has received the second dose. she will tell others. >> [speaking spanish]

they were also given a long list of essential witnesses who include former defense secretary james mattis, former secretary of state henry kissinger, and media mobile rupert murdoch. safety is a concern in the large but packed courtroom. 10 prospective jurors were excused when they said they were unvaccinated or you do all other potential jurors declare they are vaccinated, along with all members of the court staff. the jury selection process is expected to resume tomorrow. the trial could run for 13 weeks or longer. in san jose, david louis. dan: embattled santa clara county sheriff laurie smith was hit with a no-confidence vote cast by the entire county board of supervisors. the board voiced their displeasure with the scandals that have rocked the sheriff's office under smith's tenure. the resolution is symbolic, since the sheriff is elected, so the board cannot do anything about that. smith said she will not step down. kristen: turnout is expected to be light in today's special election to fill the assembly seat.
