6:01 pm
580, livermore area, so if you are seeing smoke, this is why the wind direction is pushing it from west to east. conditions near the fire at this hour, 93 degrees. relative humidity, it's so low, 29%. winds are westerly, gusting to 16 miles per hour, transporting that smoke. it will remain around 60 miles per hour around 7:00 and dropping off so it obviously is a good thing from the humidity standpoint. it will slowly come up later on tonight. so overall, right now, it looks like the hot, dry conditions will make it difficult and that's about the worst part of this situation. dan? >> thank you so much. let's take another live look at the fire from sky 7. you are seeing a lot of the charred area right now and traffic is backed up as you can see. this is 580. >> and you can see just how close the fire is to the freeway and on the other side, very close to some homes, as well. again, an suv apparently, caught fire, sparked this blaze. you can see just how close it burned to some of these houses.

[water rushing] >> we had to go into our archives to find that, the sound of rain. in a drought, it's a welcome sound, but this could represent california's biggest climate threat. the bay area and virtually much of northern california is getting a wake-up call from scientists that the next climate crisis will be megafloods. >> they're talking about major storms lasting for weeks that will put many bay shore cities and critical infrastructure under water. that puts san francisco bay and everything near it at risk. abc7 news reporter david louis looks into the peril that we are facing. reporter: the drought and wildfires are alarming. however, climate scientists say
6:03 pm
northern california and especially the bay area need to prepare for what's coming next: megafloods. >> we were kind of blind-sided by the increase in extreme wildfires and there's a desire to not be blind-sided by the increase in risk of extreme floods. reporter: residents in low-lying cities along the bay area, san francisco and oakland airports and freeways would be flooded as megastorms dump rain for three to four weeks, not days, as a result of climate change. >> i think the highest king tides you've ever seen and then add a foot or two on top of that, and then add an additional increment of flooding risk coming from all the water that will be rushing down from the hills, from the rainfall and the coastal mountains. so you would see a significant amount of flooding along the bay shore. reporter: he warns of the risk in a study he chodutofhe envirod sustainability. flood risk, he points out, increases when wildfires burn groundcover, causing storm runoff to overwhelm rivers and streams. mudslides and debris also reduce
6:04 pm
waterway capacity. we saw what that can do in san jose along coyote creek five years ago. climate scientists now are trying to get local state and federal agencies to start planning for these megafloods. >> we can't tell you exactly when, but there may be a decade at some point in the next, you know, 30 or 40 years where we have a surge in severe floods much like we saw with severe wildfires. reporter: no one knows at this point, how costly it could be to prepare for these megafloods, especially as we're consumed right now with wildfires. however, cost analysis will be part of future studies. in san jose, david louis, abc7 news. >> and we have an update now on the search for a shooter near lakemeric. within the last hour, police announced that they have arrested a suspect. the shooting happened near the lake merit boathouse earlier this afternoon. police say someone started shooting and hit an innocent bystander. the victim was shot twice and rushed to the hospital. there are a lot of joggers and
6:05 pm
walkers in that area. police were investigating if the shooter also flashed a gun at people in the same area yesterday. employees at nearby children's ferry land were evacuated during the search. ferry land itself was closed today. >> developing news in the search for the 16-year-old who disappeared after a party in truckee. ta sweatshirt they believe kylee was wearing at the party the night she disappeared. it's a white hoodie with the words "odd future" in bold letters as you see here, but investigators say they don't know if this is what kylee was wearing when she was last seen. they also revealed something about her car that they hope will help people recognize it. >> we've also received confirmation that there is a ram sticker that is located on the back of kylee's vehicle, right underneath the rear wiper blade. >> the search for kylee is in its 10th day. there's been no sign of her, her car or phone since august 5th.
6:06 pm
>> san francisco is expanding access to the monkeypox vaccine. plans to double vaccine clinic hours at zuckerburg general hospital. we were there for today's announcement. reporter: as more than a quarter of california's total monkeypox cases are in san francisco, a welcome announcement from the city's public health director, dr. grant colfax. >> we are expanding hours of this vaccine clinic. we are now going to be able to double the amount of time that we're offering vaccine at the clinic monday through friday. our hours will be 8:00 to 4:00. reporter: he says even though the lines lacing around san francisco general hospital have started to die down, their work is far from over, and demand remains high. they're averaging 600 to 700 vaccines a day. >> so as we've learned what it takes, we are doing better.
6:07 pm
in fact, we are giving about the same -- on average the same amount of vaccine a day here because we have simply improved our processes. we've taken information from the community and the people who are being served at this clinic as well as at ward 86 about how to get vaccine better. reporter: in an effort to further expand access, hospital ceo dr. susan ehrlich invited the community in on saturday for their first weekend monkeypox clinic. something she expects to continue as long as supply allows. >> we did an amazing job. our clinic team did an amazing job providingate 82 vaccines on saturday, so as dr. colfax was saying, we provide a lot of vaccine. reporter: and while the fda did offer new guidance on how the vaccine could be administered to get more doses out of a single vial, san francisco is still waiting on cdc and state approval before they can adopt
6:08 pm
the new method. >> where the rubber hits the ground, it's something that's very potentially doable, but it takes a slightly different type of training for people who haven't done interdermal vaccines before. >> san francisco is still working with the more than 10,000 doses they were given from the federal supply last week. they expect that to last until at least thursday of this week. the public health department is still waiting to hear when and how many doses they'll be getting next. in the newsroom, abc7 news. >> and remember, we have everything you need to know about monkeypox, including vaccines, symptoms and treatment. a lot of information for you on our website. just go to www.abc7news.com. >> recruiting talented workers has been a challenge since the pandemic, and the search for more mental healthcare workers is no exception. now thousands of workers at kaiser permanente are calling on the company to do a better job recruiting. zach fuentes has that story. reporter: kaiser permanente
6:09 pm
mental health workers around the state are striking against their employer. >> we are out here for patient care. this is the worst it's ever been. i've been with kaiser for five and a half years. reporter: picketing employees tell me there's more patients that need mental health services than workers. >> people's next appointments aren't open until october. >> the strike is not about access to care as the union claims. the union's proposal to reduce time directly seeing patients comes at a time when we're faced with a 30% increase in demand for mental healthcare. reporter: kaiser permanente says they continue to try to hire mental health workers but challenges recruiting those workers is an issue nationwide. >> the workers out here admit to me that nationwide there is a shortage of mental healthcare workers, but they tell me the bay area is full of qualified professionals.
6:10 pm
kaiser they say just isn't being competitive enough. >> providers are leaving kaiser in droves because they can't handle it. there are too many patients and not enough of us and kaiser is not making any effort to recruit the excellent therapists who are out there. reporter: kaiser says it's able to meet the needs of patients during the strikes. >> patients will receive care from those mental health clinicians who choose patient needs over the strike. reporter: the workers tell me they would like nothing more than to be back in their offices instead of striking and are ready to sit down with kaiser to work things out. >> we're going to stay out as long as it takes, but we're also acutely aware that our patients need us and we want to be there for them. reporter: strikes are set to continue indefinitely at different kaiser permanente locations throughout the state, including here in the bay area. in san jose, zach fuentes, abc7. >> and you can find local resources by going to www.abc7news.com/takeaction. >> it is a busy monday as you can tell. nothing new about wildfires in
6:11 pm

6:13 pm
ama: now to update you on the breaking news, a grassfire that threatened homes near dublin. alameda county fire says forward progress has been stopped.
6:14 pm
at least 10 acres burned. this is right by 580 after a car caught fire. it happened around 4:15 today. lanes on westbound 580 are still impacted. you see slow-moving traffic there and homes along schaffer ranch road were evacuated until fire crews could get a handle on this fire. dan: firefighters obviously have a lot of tools to use including some new technology. karina nova is in the newsroom to give you a behind-the-scenes look at the new equipment that cal fire is using. >> you saw some of the aircraft working to put out the eden fire and that includes the planes that drop retardant and helicopters dropping thousands of gallons of water. and as fires in california become more intense and more frequent, cal fire is stepping up efforts to contain those fires as quickly as possible. they're doing that with new technology and better aircraft. reporter: on a daily basis, these two air tankers at cal fire sonoma air attack base are
6:15 pm
ready, carrying retardant that's mixed and loaded here. they take off at a moment's notice. >> when the call comes in, the pilots will come, get their flight suits on, get in the plane and we're usually out of here in about three to four minutes. reporter: also on the base is this helitanker. >> so this is the snorkel, they'll get over a water source, whether it's a lake, a creek, a stream. the ocean even. the snorkel will hang below them, they'll hover down to the water source, essentially draft water into the tank as a 2,600-gallon capacity, and it's done in less than a minute and they're off to the fire. >> that's pretty quick. >> it's very helpful. reporter: he oversees air traffic control and talking to ground crews. from this base, they cover eight counties and can be deployed
6:16 pm
statewide if needed. >> we can get to a fire that's 10 miles away and 20 miles away in less than 10 minutes. and make a big impact on the incident. now, with seeing the destruction that these fires have been doing, burning in the cities and big conflagration fires, we order big and try to put it out quick. reporter: quick is key as wildfires in california intensify. video from the canyon fire in alameda county shows the aircraft at work, the plane and helicopter dropping water and retardant. this year, cal fire is ramping up firefighting efforts with new aviation assets like this cal fire hawk at boggs mountain base. it flies faster and drops more water. battalion chief brian york says that allows ground crews to get better access and make more progress on a fire. >> our existing uh1h helicopters carry roughly 300 gallons of
6:17 pm
water and our new helicopters will carry 1,000 gallons of water. takes approximately 45 seconds for them to pick up 1,000 gallons of water and they head back to the fire. working with the ground crews to apply that water to the fire where it's needed. reporter: my next fire season, york says all 10 bases in california will have a fire hawk like this. this air bases are strategically placed to get an aircraft on the scene of a fire in less than 20 minutes and this helicopter already hit two major milestones while working the electric fire in july. >> those two things were night-dropping missions, so water dropping out of a helicopter at night. that's the first time it happened in our department. reporter: what these air tankers can do is impressive and that quick, four-minute time to reload is key, but there is a lot that we don't see when it comes to neurotechnology, telling these planes where to go and giving them tactical
6:18 pm
information. >> this is saying that today's weather conditions and the fuel conditions up there, the fire without any suppression action at all will be roughly 959 acres within eight hours. reporter: the program called tactical analysis gives personnel a realtime snap shot of the resources available and fire activity, like forward progress. those green dots are structures that would be impacted. >> that incident commander, that air tactical group supervisor can coordinate their resources on the most critical part of the fire where those values at risk are going to be impacted by fire most rapidly. reporter: the program also allows users to upload photos, giving more visuals of the fire. it's all part of cal fire's goal to contain fires at 10 acres or less, protecting life and property with an aerial advantage, new technology and a rapid ground crew response. >> we could have all the aviation assets in the world
6:19 pm
working on a fire, but if we don't have the ground resources to complement that, then we're not going to meet our objectives and containing fires of eight acres or less. reporter: drones are being used more creek by cal fire. they were used in the fire last month. firefighters say they could be particularly useful in identifying where people may be trapped. in the newsroom, karina nova, abc7 news. dan: that's impressive and great to see. >> it's amazing the work they do and continue to do as we deal with more wildfires. dan: thank you. you can track any of the wildfires burning in california by using our online interactive wildfire tracker. it shows you current air quality. you'll find it at www.abc7news.com. ama: and we're watching the air quality closely as well as the temperatures, dan. dan: that's right. sandhya patel is keeping track of all of that for us. sandhya? sandhya: unfortunately, those temperatures are driving, dan and ama, and the air quality is beginning to decline. i didn't want to show you our
