yeah that air fight audible from where we're standing at this hour we're here along rocky way and eastview way where there's a lot of activity. it is very busy. very hot out here now in the last few minutes we saw first responders leave this ambulance behind me with a stretcher heading toward that activity when i stopped cal fire to ask if any firefighter had been injured. i was told that they could not confirm nor comment on that, but we do know that there is going to be a media briefing at about 5:30 this afternoon. now plenty of people agencies on scene. we're seeing one side fire. we're seeing ambulance paramedics as sheriffs as well with san mateo county now when we got out here a lot of the roads were just filled with residents who are coming out looking maybe preparing their cars ready for that evacuations. we know that some parts of this specific neighborhood have been evacuated most of it is without

power at this hour. it's affecting not only this neighborhood, but of the stanford campus as well people who we spoke with are all pointing to a nearby pg&e substation saying hours ago. they heard what they described as a major explosion and then saw some smoke coming from that specific area that seeing a cloud is what they described and we did connect with one resident who lives right on the edge of that nature preserve and this is what she had to say. well evacuating. oh, it's a huge bank. huge bang and and then i just didn't really understand it in my neighbor called and said, you know get fudgy if he's up on you know, get pudgy you might have to evacuate. yeah, she said that this incident really explained to her and it really made very clear what was important because she had to evacuate in just a matter of minutes now residents. we spoke with just in this area

say that there was a residential fire about two weeks ago that burned pretty close to their home. so that already put them on edge. we saw a resident who was out watering down his front lawn. everyone tells me that the response has been spectacular and they've been educated about preventable spaces. so that's what is really saving them out. here is what they're saying still a lot of activity. we're waiting to see who is going to come back on that stretcher. hopefully everyones connect with residents and first responders. we'll be at that 5:30 media briefing. i'm reporting live from the edgewood fire amanda douglas still yo abc 7 news. all right, amanda. thank you with that. we say good evening. thank you for joining us. i'm amidates and i'm kristen z for the very latest on the conditions so hot right now. let's get to abc 7 news meteorologist, sandia patel sandia. yeah, kristen and amma it is definitely hot. it's 98 degrees right now near the fire relative humidity. so low 12% and then you combine that with the wind gusts out of the north-northeast, which is

very drying wind wind gusting to 10 miles an hour. not good for firefighters. the wind is going to pick up up to 22 miles an hour at six o'clock. although they do ease after that. hopefully they will make some progress quickly here first day of summer and it is hot out there. no doubt about it away from the coast. you'll notice many triple digit readings 106 in fairfield right now. it is 101 in san jose as we take a look here heat advisory until 10 pm tonight for virtually all of the bay area except the coast in san francisco that advisory ext until 10 pm tomorrow for solano county. i'll be back to let you know exactly when you will get a break from this hot weather coming right up kristen. all right. thank you, sandia. well thousands of pg&e customers don't have power right now. most of them are on the peninsula in the area of that, san mateo county fire pg&e reports more than 13,500 outages on the peninsula more than 2,200 in the north bay 450 plus in the

degrees just as super scorcher today abc 7 news reporter leslie brinkley joins his life from walnut creek with the latest on the heat leslie. well, you know, there's a little bit of a breeze blowing through right now. you think that would be good news, but when it's 102 in the shade here doesn't help a lot. we're still expecting the temperature to pop up a little bit here in the next hour or so. i can tell you driving around in the car. the ac just doesn't keep pace with the heat everywhere. so we're doing our best to stay cool and hydrated out here as our many people in the east bay. the good news is this is a one-day heat event from what i'm hearing the city of walnut creek for instance said they didn't open any cooling centers today since this was just for one day still it's dangerous heat. a kindergarten aged group of day campers frolicked about lafayette reservoir late morning with camp counselors laser

focused on keeping them hydrated. definitely we're gonna you know, we have spray bottles the drinking taking a lot of water breaks taking lot of time in the shade. we may kind of shorten our activities. so we do maybe a 40 minute period of fishing, but maybe we'll shorten it's like, you know, 20 minutes by noon before the temperatures really soared this group boarded a bus bound for a swimming pool the perfect place for a really hot day 104. down on the tri-valley area one livermore air conditioning company says they're swamped with calls for repairs as people struggle with the heat with one tech trying to respond to 19 calls for service break ers cool enough that can include baby birds. this is baby bird season, and some people may find the fledglings on the ground some fledgling birds, like swallows

and swifts and sometimes barn owls. they don't take the heat very well. so you might see them on the pound we called the lindsey wildlife rescue hotline, and they said the best thing would be to go back to the original tree with our fake nest and just attach it to the trunk about five feet up and wait for the parents to come back and unfortunately the parents did not come back this family drove a bird from hercules to walnut creek another family brought one over to lindsay from pleasant hill. most wildlife is resilient according to the experts but the human species tends to function best during these waves indoors or in the water cute little baby birds there the best advice stay inside if you can drink a lot of water stay hydrated in the east bay. i'm leslie brinkley abc 7 news. definitely. thank you, leslie, and don't forget for bay area weather. anytime just head to the weather on demand section of the abc 7

lake merritts visitors don't want that the council decided to hold off on making a decision until today. alex wolf lives across the lake. it's really just i think an embodiment of a deeper issue that's happening in oakland. and right now parking along the lake is free adding parking meters to this area. i could take the city months and cost about 250,000 some residents. tell me that's not a good use of resources. we really pay taxes to keep up the park tape the streets additional parking meter is really a big hit on our budget in proposal points to parking meters as a way to improve traffic flow and prevent people from double parking dennis irby drives to the lake to exercise five times a week. he says instead of charging visitors the city should address the need for housing with many parked on the streets for days people come here. they park for two three four five six day, maybe weeks they think that by adding meters is

going to help stop the people. from illegal parking. that's not gonna stop if he goes through the city could use the parking meter revenue to help black vendors and offset financial disparities by low-income residents who want to park at the lake in oakland loose pena abc 7 news. after the the break a multi-miln dollar lawsuit filed over the deaths of two young boys why the boys biological family members say the state and the boys adopted parents are to blame for their deaths.
