where you can see red retardant. that is where a lot of the flames and smoke were coming from earlier. look at this. you can see quite a bit of flames on the hillside. smoke was visible from 101 freeway. they were wondering what was going on in this neighborhood. fortunately, there was a lot of air support available here. this really helped get this fire under control. also cooperating are the temperatures, not too high today. there were some wind gusts in the area. >> the the the talked to immediately -- i am grateful for the community where people are making the appropriate calls and noticing

things. a lot of kids out in the street. >> everything is very dry. it is very dry. water is an issue in california. we are all very concerned. >> it is still slightly breezy out here. the fire department tells me the wind will actually cooperate this evening along with the weather as a fog bank is rolling in. committed is expected to increase. always good news. the other great news is the fire is 80% contained. still 30 acres, no structures or homes damaged. abc 7 news. >> thank you so much. get to abc 7 news whether to find out if the weather helped or hurt this. >> the one whether component that could be a problem is the wind. not terribly strong right now. here is a look at current conditions. that is pretty light.

they have been occasional gusts up to 15 miles per hour or a little higher. the relative humidity is increasing there. that is good because the increase in the moisture is there. it is cool there. not a hot day. the temperature only 63 degrees. the biggest concern for the firefighters and anyone in the area is the wind that we don't expect to be a major factor. just a minor nuisance at the moment. >> thank you. now to the caldor fire which has skirted around south lake tahoe so far. the danger is far from over. a red flag warning is in effect. when gusting to 40 miles per hour in some places and the fire's acreage past the 200,000 mark. there are new evacuation warnings for parts of alpine county, evacuation orders were downgraded here.

nasty country and it is just not safe to put our firefighters up and that stuff. you probably have knee-high and waste high grass. it is really volatile fuel. the fire spread is rapid. >> today you will notice a q our code on your screen. -- qr code on your screen. track the air quality where you live. >> we have dedicated several people to covering the caldor fire today including drew tuma as well as wayne freedman who is live in myers near the front line of the fire. good evening. all along we have been hearing about how different this fire is, how it burns differently at different times. we heard from firefighters about how they don't like to go back over the same ground to fight the same battle two days in a row.

we have seen all of that in the last couple days. here is a good look at some of them. >> you know it is not a normal day in south lake tahoe when they post the latest fire information on a sidewalk. the latest threat is beginning to feel somewhat normal for evacuees. >> they are telling me i have to leave. >> the nevada casinos closed to everyone except first responders. there have never been better odds for not losing at one of these tables but the emptiness makes a strange sight. no one can predict when this vacated city will reopen. >> the fire is still progressing to that used. >> they are holding ground along battlefields in between. we watched the tedious but essential task of knocking down hotspots where firefighters had nearly 100 feet to spare two days ago. >> that, while not far away and almost simultaneously, more

drama. yet another day, new flames tore down canyon walls on both sides of highway 89, turning trees into torches. at least firefighters had cleared enough air today to bring in the tropics. the concerns about this fire to fold, first there is a neighborhood in that direction that threatens that. on highway 89, it could cross and they are homes over here. most of that area evacuated but not everyone. with fire bearing down, these two men build hamburgers but declined to speak on camera. there calm this may be short-lived. >> right now it seems like it is holding down, we have a layer keeping things at bay. if that lifts, the wind will increase and that is what we have been seeing for the last couple days. dramatic weather in the afternoons. an update on that, we have had a

little wind but the layer seems to be holding. that is good news. something else from calfire in terms of how they will try to get this thing out. they may try to steer the caldor fire south. when the two fires converge, all, there is nothing left to burn. that would take care of part of it. we shall see. >> fascinating to hear the strategy. let's hope it works. what about the people who said we are not going to leave as the flames approached? what is happening to them? >> i guess they are still there at this moment. they were fairly calm, frying hamburgers on the back of their truck. they were saying there was no way they were going to leave, they wanted to protect their property. maybe there's something they left out. if they don't leave and things go bad, firefighters can't leave. firefighters say it is putting them in jeopardy and they get pretty angry about that.

they say they are staying but they may not be considering all the factors. >> that is understandable. thank you. new evacuation warnings were added for alpine county, warnings are shaded in yellow on this map where people don't have to leave. the red areas are evacuation orders where it is mandatory. just a few hours ago in el dorado county, some evacuation orders were downgraded to warnings. evacuations range across alpine and el dorado counties plus neighboring douglas county. now let's hear from drew tuma about the conditions that firefighters are facing. >> we are still under that red flag warning. another one in the hills here. we will take you around southlake, tahoe. that wind is keeping the fires in the hills. overnight, the wind will lighten

, mort out of the southeast. that is the wind direction firefighters are watching. the fire is not in kirkwood proper. still, they are keeping their eye on this area. the western edge of this fire is highly contained. that is why you saw those evacuation orders get downgraded to warnings earlier today. >> thank you for that update. we are now turning to the recall election. we are less than two weeks away from the california recall election which will decide if governor newsom stays in office as governor. this is keeping track of the latest development on this. >> a new survey shows 51% of california voters support keeping newsom in office. 43% want to remove him but 6% remain undecided and that is when the next two weeks will be critical in determining the outcome of this race. in these final weeks, governor newsom is making covid-19 a combat -- a defining issue of his campaign.

kueng said in the final stretch of the recall campaign, governor newsom continuing to drop contrast between his handling of the pandemic and the republicans looking to replace him. specifically larry elder. >> larry elder wants to and mask requirements and vaccine requirements. >> elder says he would repeal all covid mandates also telling cnn this. >> i don't believe the science suggests that young people should be vaccinated. i don't believe the science suggests young people should have to wear masks at school. i'm not sure that the science is settled on that at all. >> newsom responded saying that elder is spewing vaccine lies. he is willing to let young people die. >> i am opposed to vaccine mandates. we still live in a free country. i am not and have asked, i have been vaccinated. >> san diego businessman, john cox made a campaign stop in san

francisco today. >> at thing the people of the state will cast that vote and say to themselves can we get someone who is going to manage the state that are? >> with less than two weeks to go until the september 14 voting deadline, over 20% of voters have returned their ballots. paul mitchell says so far that is higher turnout than expected or a special election which could potentially be good news for governor newsom. >> something changed. a lot of democrats have gotten the news that the governor is at risk of being recalled. >> a lot could still change the final 13 days. many republicans might be waiting to vote in person. >> will look at the outstanding balance, we see a lot of republicans, young people, a lot of latinos. those voters if and when they vote can really change the complexion of this final electorate. >> governor newsom is continuing his get out the vote efforts tonight. he spoke at a phone bank event and he joined with a api leaders. i spoke to phil about whether he

things governor newsom's focus is a winning argument. >> contrast that he and his $50 million campaign is out to draw in the final weeks of the campaign. gavin newsom is the steady hand going forward. larry elder and the others that are on the list to possibly replace him will be a step back. it is an old put a coat tactic. you can either inspire or scare. right now, gavin newsom is in the scare mode. he will scare voters into going his way. >> governor newsom will be campaign with senator elizabeth warren. >> thank you for all the information. if you are already registered to vote, you will get a vote by mail ballot.

i hope he is back there next monday. that is the goal, he seems positive about it. but we have to be smart with it. sometimes when is a really little thing like that, it is hard to believe that it is still hurt but we have to make sure he doesn't have a setback. >> look at the home that mark davis plans to build outside of las vegas. it looks like a mini stadium. plans call for 15,000 square feet. the garage is bigger than my house. it is expected that this thing is going to cost $14 million to build. the architect described davis's neighborhood as a 1% or paradise. the mission includes in in i cave, sauna, steam room and library. no bowling alley? >> the whole thing looks like a man cave. >> it does but if i'm going to pay $14 million, i have to have

the bowling alley and maybe a petting zoo on the side. >> nice attractions. >> some stuff, water slides, something. >> it looks like a james bond villain layer. >> it does. >> you have been talking about this. the requirements that may affect the warriors players in terms of being vaccinated and able to play in san francisco. >> all players have to be vaccinated to play. same with the nix and the and te in new york. it put you at a competitive disadvantage if you are not vaccinated. >> abc 7 news at 11:00. thank you for joining us.
