for parts of nevada. calfire about one hour ago said it has been able to keep the fire out of kirkwood and is protecting buildings. ama: at least 486 homes have been destroyed and dozens more have been damaged. it scorched more than 191,000 acres and 16% contained. crews are expecting another rough day tomorrow, but there is hope. >> i think today is the worst of the weather days. tomorrow is going to be another bad weather day. i will be honest with you. it will be the last one of those. there's a light at the end of the tunnel. ama: the caldor fire is the second wildfire to burn across the sierra mountain range in california history. the other, the massive dixie fire which scorched more than 800,000 acres. dan: we have life team coverage of the caldor fire fight tonight. we are bringing two weather experts. drew tuma and spencer christian, both tracking the conditions with the very latest information.

first, let's go live to wayne freedman who is near the front lines of the fire in myers. wayne: good evening. we are in myers, just down the road about two miles from where the fire had the biggest activity today. an area they called strawberry valley. you can see the smoke -- too bad you cannot feel the wind. six miles from lake tahoe, today's battle to hold back the caldor fire consisted mostly of skirmishes. crews getting close with a tenacious enemy. lake fire disc number seven. this is your district? >> yes. this is a very important area for us. wayne: a few miles up highway 50, grim reminders of what is at stake if the wind blows and the flames keep advancing. >> pti aot emphasis on not losing homes. wayne: that is the ideal as fire

moved to down canyon walls above highway 50 and then did the same on the opposite side. all towards a community in the middle. >> that area is christmas valley. wayne: 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 one threatens to cross highway 89. how many of these have you fought in the last 24 hours? >> a dozen. yeah. i'm probably on the lower end. wayne: by the time engine seven arrived, this spot fire expanded a couple hundred yards thanks to more flying embers. that only their first issue. >> we have about one quarter left. we have one or 200 gallons left. wayne: meeting they had 200 gallons for all of this, and leaving more for just in case. >> we have to leave enough in our tank in case something goes back. wayne: fortunately, it went

well. just another clash that gave up in this spot and reignited a few hundred yards down the road. when we left christmas valley a couple of hours ago, nothing had burned. they were doing a lot of work on the spot fires. one hour ago, i spoke to a fire department person from reno who said the concern is those winds. they are thinking they could reach 40 miles per hour this evening. if that is the case, we will have to see what happens. wayne freedman, abc 7 news. dan: the heavy duty breathing device around your neck give us a sense of what the air is like. i know a lot of particular matter and smoke. wayne: i don't think there's any way to explain it until you are in it. i have been in heavy smoke

before in my life. many of these fires. it does get to your face, your eyes, nose. in my case, and gets to my lungs. let me give you an example. writing on the laptop, we use computers. my screen is filled with ashes. that is apparently the matter we don't need to worry about. dan: i know you will put your mask on as soon as you are finished. thanks. it is intense. if you would never had that experience, i can tell you as wayne is demonstrating, it is very uncomfortable. thanks. ama: the caldor fire has burned more than 191,000 acres. you can see the outline of the burn area on this map. those red icons and black icons, those are houses. black means they are still standing. red means destroyed. take a look at this map of the evacuation zone for el dorado county. the red areas where evacuations

are mandatory. the yellow areas for evacuation warnings. evacuation orders were added for alpine county which is just south of el dorado county as well as douglas county, nevada. and check out what it looks like at stateline nevada. what appears to be a coyote around city streets which are basically empty. the evacuation orders issued hours ago do not include the state line core area were all the casinos are. dan: people who have been evacuated from the fire zone say they are having trouble finding a safe place to stay. everything is so crowded. some of the evacuees who turned up in the douglas county community shelter in nevada say they are being told to go to hotels in reno because the center is full. one evacuate, a student from thailand who is working -- studying in south lake tahoe, says she paid $800 for a taxi ride to a reno hotel during yesterday's evacuation order.

>> yesterday, like three hours. everyone was trying to drive out. but, the taxi cost $800 $800 yesterday. dan: that woman took an uber back to the shelter this afternoon because she couldn't afford to keep paying for a reno hotel. she was turned away and advised to go back to reno once again. ama: the weather conditions are not helping firefighters. >> we are under a red flag warning which is set to expire tomorrow night at 11 p.m. the winds are very strong. gusts up to 50 miles per hour. ama: embers are traveling three quarters of a mile away where they are igniting new fires and dry vegetation. these conditions are just unheard of. >> it is unprecedented. a fire maybe a decade ago, we wouldn't even be thinking it would have made it to the basin.

this definitely has. it is very aggressive. potential for ignition is very high. it is running about 90%. when an amber goes forward, it is a 90% chance that will start a fire moving forward. ama: let's bring in drew tuma to check on the current conditions. drew: the wind we are feeling right now in the city is the same wind that is causing so much concern around the caldor fire. let's take you to current conditions where we have echo summit, christmas valley, the area wayne was in. that fire established itself on the others have 89 in the hills above myers. this fire is about three miles away from the outer boundaries of south lake tahoe. one of the areas we are watching closely, the fire has established itself, firefighters are working near pioneer trail. bulldozers trying to keep the fire in the hills and away from structures on the basin. watching kirkwood right now.

the fire is getting close. the winds right now are pushing that fire towards kirkwood. i will bring it spencer christian because these wins, we will be dealing with them for another day. spencer: given the conditions you have described, it is not surprising the red flag warning will be in effect in that area until 11:00 tomorrow night. let's take a look at the red flag warning. wind generally out of the west southwest with gusts 20 to 35 miles per hour, but there will be stronger gusts than 35. it covers the entire region of the central sierra including lake tahoe. the forecast calls for winds to remain out of the southwest. then a diminishing little bit in the overnight hours but they will re-intensify tomorrow morning and into the afternoon hours, gusts of 30 miles per hour or higher. this is the same wind pattern that is bringing us favorable conditions in the bay area. we will look at the local weather later. dan: now, the only fire bigger

than the caldor fire right now is the dixie fire. there is some good news. all evacuations for butte county were lifted today. evacuations remain in order for loomis and shasta counties. there are evacuation orders for same accounting. the dixie fire burned 800,000 acres and 40% contained. you can see all of the fires burning in california at a glance. just look for this wildfire tracker at abc7news.com. ama: sheriff's deputies rushed to a high school after a student was stabbed on campus. the rescue helicopter landed on the baseball field while medical crews arrived. authorities lock down the school and begin searching for a suspect. the sheriffs office says two people have been detained. we have not received any reports on the student's conditions. abtas is a mile south of santa cruz. after three years of delays, the

controversial founder of theranos is back in court facing federal charges of wire fraud. she became an overnight billionaire when the blood testing firm attracted investors but the technology failed to deliver. david louis was in the courtroom today for jury selection. david: the embattled stanford dropout who became a silicon valley billionaire only to lose everything would not answer questions as cameras and reporters surrounded her as she arrived to court. elizabeth holmes is going on trial on charges of wire fraud in connection with the blood testing startup theranos. it promised a giant diagnostic breakthrough but failed to deliver. jury selection underway with a panel of 12 people out of 200. media coverage could make that process a challenge. the judge directed questions to the prospective jurors about what news and documentaries they have seen about the case and whether that might influence their ability to be fair. media coverage left them with

negative impressions. the judge zeroed in on domestic violence, asking if any have been a victim of abuse. attorneys for holmes indicated the may allege she has been a victim of abuse. prosecutors and defense attorneys will be able to reach potential jurors who filled out a lengthy questionnaire in advance to learn a potential conflicts. they were also given a long list of potential witnesses who include former defense secretary james mattis, former secretary of state henry kissinger, and rupert murdoch. safety is a big concern in a packed courtroom. 10 prospective jurors were excused in advance when they told the court they were unvaccinated. all other potential jurors declared they were vaccinated. the jury selection process is excited to resume tomorrow. the trial could run for 13 weeks or longer. david louis, abc 7 news. dan: coming up next, we are live at a rally to demand safer schools in san francisco.

parents say the covid precautions are not enough. also -- >> i got about $35 moneyback. ama: michael finney shows you how a bart rid majestic mountains... scenic coastal highways... fertile farmlands... there's lots to love about california. so put off those chores

all with the power of the t-mobile 5g network. rule your day with 5g. only at metro by t-mobile. dan: right now, a rally underway at san francisco city hall to demand the school district ensure safer conditions inside the classrooms for students during the pandemic. senior education reporter leanne melendez is live with more. leanne: yeah, well, clearly the

teachers union is leading this rally with the support of parents and school board members as well. they are asking, requesting three things. one, more testing for children. air purifiers in every classroom. and instead of having kids wear this surgical mask, give them something that is a little bit more, they say, safer. that would protect them against both covid and smoke. it's somewhat of a catch-22 situation. >> we have air quality issues. some of our teachers have ash coming and when we have the bad air quality. leanne: closing windows reduces the ventilation needed to protect against covid. as of last week, only 775 775 classrooms in san francisco public schools had air purifiers. during a recent town hall on abc 7, the district's chief facilities officer said help was on the way. >> parents can expect to see

more news from the district over the next few weeks as we both iron out funding and timing and deployment. leanne: the funding was approved by the school board. 2.9 million dollars to buy air purifiers for every classroom. >> in two weeks time, we can been this sort of deployment. right now, it is getting that planning ready and making sure when we do get access to the supply, we start sharing them with our schools, the ones who need it the most get it first. leanne: some older buildings in the district also need to be upgraded in order to meet the electrical demands of having several air purifiers working at once. in the meantime, the teachers union is also requesting that everyone in the school be given a kn-95 mask n-95 mask dual protection. >> it does provide filtration that could improve the quality of air that an individual is breathing, in addition to

rejecting from covid. leanne: some parents said they also want weekly covid testing. >> we don't know if we have it unless we get checked. >> we know that testing is going to be what stops or prevents us from having a large-scale event. leanne: we are live once again from city hall at this rally, put together by the teachers union. i want to tell you what the school district wrote to me this afternoon in an email. it says the district is purchasing over 3000 portable air cleaners to equip every classroom in the event that poor air quality requires classroom windows to be closed. the question is how quickly can they make that happen? i'm in san francisco, leanne melendez, abc 7 news. dan: thank you. ama: we are exactly two weeks away to election day for california's recall. if it passes, gavin newsom will be removed and whichever

challenger gets the most votes wins. we are past the deadline to register to vote, but you can do a condition of voter registration. your vote will be counted after the registration is verified. that is available as late as election day on september 14. dan: the governor will visit the caldor fire lines tomorrow and that fire's threat to south lake tahoe is growing still as the fire pushes to the northeast, driven by high winds. abc 7 news reporter dustin dorsey shows you how calfire plans to save homes. dustin: the eye and this guy never lies and views from a helicopter high above the fire telly devastating story. calfire says they have mostly stopped progress in the west but the mass wildfire continues to push east along highways 50 and 80. winds picked up embers due to red fly conditions, creating spot fires one mile has the fire line. >> the fire was spotted well over the 89 which is now well into the tahoe basin.

>> homes are threatened. our community is threatened. i never thought that was possible. dustin: these are some of the views from overnight. crews desperately working to save structures as the fire rages on. many homes were not as lucky. calfire says structure defense continues to be a priority as it pushes into tahoe. >> firefighters all night long redoing structure prep and defense in a large part of this area down 50 towards 89. that continues to be the number one priority because we have so many structures to watch out for. dustin: the residents of south lake tahoe slowly worked their way out of town when evacuation orders went into effect. the southlake mayors says the city was evacuated in five hours. car lines are a common sight going into a normal labor day weekend, but this year is anything but normal. empty streets, a fire raging on, and hope it ends with the city still standing. >> honestly, people's lives are

much more important than worrying about tourism right now. we are right now trying to see what happens with the structures and the business is in our community and homes. dustin: dustin dorsey, abc 7 news. ama: we are hoping for blue skies despite the wild fires in northern california. up here, success depends on the choices you make. but i know i've got this. and when it comes to controlling his type 2 diabetes, my dad's got this, too. with the right choices, you have it in you to control your a1c and once-weekly trulicity may help. most people taking trulicity reached an a1c under 7%. and it starts lowering blood sugar from the first dose, by helping your body release the insulin it's already making.

it. pres. biden: the men and women of the united states military, our diplomatic corps, and our intelligence professionals did their job and did it well, risking their lives not for professional game, but to serve others. not in a mission of war, but in a mission of mercy. dan: president biden says america owes a debt of gratitude to the 13 servicemembers killed by terrorists last week as they assisted in the withdrawal effort. he says he remains committed to getting 100 to as many as 200 americans still in the country out if they want to leave. most apparently have dual citizenship. they are area -- bay area organizations are stepping up to help refugees get settled when they arrive here. ama: ryan curry spoke with two organizations about what goes into the process of helping new refugees. >> that got a lot of challenges. ryan: a congressman met in concord as they prepared to aid

around 60 refugees his office helped relocate to the bay area. members of the centers say once they learned about the evacuations, they started getting many resources together. >> they left the country with nothing but what they were wearing. we plan to provide everything for them. reporter: that means they need volunteers, like hannah, whose parents were once refugees from afghanistan 13 years ago. she says being able to help other refugees was very important to her. >> i know what the refugees coming here are going through, and i know it was hard for my mom to come to a new country not knowing the language, so i have empathy for them. reporter: her volunteer work is focused on helping infants. she says she wants to make the families feel as comfortable as hers was decades ago. >> we do not know what to do, but we are just trying to do everything we can to help them and make them feel comfortable coming here, and they need to know that they are not alone. >> it is not just the

islamic community helping those coming from afghanistan. many others are trying to do their best to make sure they feel welcome. >> we have been working with the afghan community for many years, so we are positioned to jump into this. reporter: organizations, the goal is to make the transition to the united states easier. >> as soon we put out the word that this big surge was coming, we had this outpouring of welcome and caring. it has been amazing. >> i want them to understand that they should not feel shy asking for what they need. we will always be here for them. reporter: in the east bay, ryan curry. ama: there are many different ways you can help the people of afghanistan. for ideas, go to abc7news.com /takeaction. on the same page, you will find supportive resources, especially for veterans, during this difficult time. >> the hammering union square

hotel in san francisco is offering caldor fire evacuees a special discounted rate for rooms. the hotel is charging $75 a night before taxes and fees, with parking included. the owner got the idea to offer an evacuee discount last year during a lightning complex -- the lightning complex fires. the package for evacuees also includes discounts at macy's and double-decker city tours. the owner says he wants evacuees to take their mind off the situation in tahoe as best as they can. >> it is really disheartening, and i thought if i could do something that allows someone to come and relax for a little bit, then i have done my part. dan: front desk staff will check for proof of residency. the timeline for when california's dangerous fire season might, fingers crossed, subside.

participants $300 a month to act as public safety ambassadors. if they meet certain milestones, they will be eligible for as much as $500 a month. >> they are expected to do some conversations around public safety, to do some goalsetting for themselves, to also think about how they can influence and impact their communities to be better. reporter: davis says the program will be funded by a combination of taxpayer dollars, private donations, and possibly a federal grant. davis says the program was inspired by the office of neighborhood safety, a farmer program -- a former neighborhood program. >> was created to interrupt, disrupt, stop shootings. >> i have had conversations with the founder of that program, asking him to think through how to build this out. reporter: the director of the national institute for criminal justice reform says a program of the richmond office of neighborhood safety was massively successful.

>> there was a 70% reduction of homicides in richmond. reporter: but it was not without controversy. one member was arrested and later sentenced for shooting and killing a man whose mother spoke to abc 7 news in 2016. >> you did not take their guns. you were giving the money to buy more guns. >> there is something from that program to benefit from, and there are things we do not want to repeat. we need to do what we can as a society to help turn people around and not always look at the negative. >> the notion of paying criminals not to shoot might be a sexy headline, but it is an inaccurate description. reporter: the program will eventually expand to as many as 30 participants. dan: still to come, the combination of social justice and environmental concerns. see how an artist has linked them in her life's work. >> i have a deal for you if you >> i have a deal for you if you ride bart, and if you don't.

ama: a new art exhibit opening in the bay area may deliver a message visitors not have expected. it focuses on challenges to our society, but also an environment. luz: as a feminist, this artist challenges what she sees as a disruptive or seven aggressive, often male-dominated culture. now, an exhibit of her work at san francisco's the young museum is suggesting a fallout could threaten our entire planet.
