glad to know they're okay. well, as the peak of the wildfire season quickly approaches, p-g-and-e's is already reporting 62 fires caused by power lines this year. that's nearly equal to the total from all of last year. abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey takes a look at what the utility is doing to try to slow down these fires, to make the electric system safer and reduce wildfire risk. >> sometimes exceptional costs have to incur. that's been p-g-and-e's message as to why rates have increased so much the last few years. but wildfires have not decreased. the issue that we have right now is really just a lot of receptive fuels on the ground, and that's what's increasing the wildfire risk, along with the heat that continues to dry out those fuels. and when this abundance of dry fuels gather around power poles, fires can start. and they have a lot in 2024. this year, p-g-and-e's is reporting 62 cpuc reportable ignitions from their equipment and high fire threat districts. 29 since july 1st. in
10:44 pm
2023 as a whole, there were only 65. >> so what we've done is we've created a task force based on the data that we're seeing in the field to look at what else could we be doing, what else might we need to change? >> p-g-and-e's wildfire safety program task force started in july and is using technology to recognize hazards that may start fires. right now, we've identified 50,000 poles within the highest fire risk areas to go out and work and try to remove that vegetation at ten feet around the base of the pole by the start of september. p-g-and-e's equipment has been blamed for sparking some of the state's deadliest wildfires in recent years, including the 2018 camp fire, where 85 people died in the town of paradise. mark tony is the executive director for the utility reform network. he says bills have skyrocketed more than 100% in the past four years with this latest fire data. tony says it's fair for customers to question if the
10:45 pm
increases are worth it. >> the customers are paying the price of more expensive and much slower wildfire safety. >> tony would prefer to see cheaper, faster ways of wildfire mitigation, like insulated lines over seemingly constant increases, with little results. dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> san francisco police arrested ten suspects in a series of blitz operations to stop retail theft. the department shared this photo of the suspects and some of the recovered items. all of the suspects were cited and released. the stolen items were returned to the stores. the arrest took place over the past three months along powell street, near post in the heart of union square, where there have been a higher number of shoplifting incidents in the north bay. one community continues to search for solutions to its homelessness crisis. while some places in the bay area are clearing encampments, san rafael has plans to build a new temporary sanctioned camp downtown. abc seven news reporter cornell bernard takes a look.
10:46 pm
>> so this side of the home city, outreach teams from san rafael are out gauging interest from unhoused people living along the mahoney creek footpath about a new temporary living situation coming soon. alex velasquez is interested. >> if i knew how to sign up for it. yeah, i would definitely want to be there. >> okay. >> help me get my life back. >> the city's plan is to clear the south side of this footpath, unofficially known as camp integrity, and opened a temporary sanctioned camping area on the north side of the creek path, providing tents, restrooms, security and housing based case management. >> ultimately, the goal is to get people who are not housed into permanent supportive housing. >> murphy says there's room for 47 people. the sanctioned camp will last about 12 to 18 months, paid for through a grant from the state. the existing camp has generated multiple complaints from business owners like miriam de leon, who say customers are afraid to come to her restaurant. she's not sure the new camp will work. >> it's just move the problems
10:47 pm
from here to there across the street. that's not going to help our business. >> de leon thought governor newsom's executive order last month urging cities to remove homeless camps would mean fewer camps, not more. i think they need to find a good solution because i don't think they need to live in camps. the city says the sanctioned program is not a new encampment. instead, it's a path forward, away from homelessness. >> those who are living in the area, those who are going to participate in this program, will not simply just be living on the path, but actually exploring a route to housing. >> participation in the sanctioned camp is voluntary. jeff groves says it's not for him. >> it looks good on paper, but that's about all i got to say about that. it does. it looks good on paper, but that that's going to be so overcrowded. smaller area. everybody sitting on top of each other. >> now the sanctioned camp could open by october 1st in san rafael. cornell, bernard. abc seven news, twin peaks tunnel in

10:49 pm
divided public opinion. >> walk along stinson beach any day of the summer and it's sun, sand and waves as far as the eye can see. but over the past week or so, a new site has popped up these makeshift fences along several beachfront properties. the fences have gotten the attention of marin county officials, who say they first received complaints about them impeding access to the public beach on august 13th. >> we take these complaints very seriously whenever we receive one, we send someone out to investigate and see if whatever may be happening is actually true. >> the county says its investigation over whether or not the fences are on public land or the homeowners properties is still ongoing. on the beach itself, people seem divided over the topic thursday morning, with some showing understanding for the property owners. >> there's so many people, people putting up little tent shade structures. there's dogs running around. it gets very, very full. and i can understand how some homeowners wouldn't
10:50 pm
want people coming right up to their decks. >> others thinking the fencing needs to come down. i think beaches should be public. >> that is my understanding of what the law is, and i like public access. >> the question over whether these fences are on public or private land is one controversy, but the county says there could be other issues as well. >> all of the situations with the barriers that have been erected are unpermitted. so whether or not it falls on public property or not, you kno, there will be probably actions that the property owners will need to take. >> no matter where you fall on this issue, though, one thing everyone seems to agree on is that all of us should be able to enjoy the beach. >> we all love the beach right? here i am with my son and my dog. we're running around throwing the frisbee and chasing the dog around, and that seems like something we should all have access to. >> the county says it expects to conclude its investigation in the coming weeks. in stinson beach, tim johns, abc seven news. >> and off the dog goes. yes. not the greatest beach weather

at midnight tonight. notice little patches of showers developing up in the north bay first early tomorrow morning, then of scattered showers from time to time. or i should say isolated showers going into tomorrow evening. but then tomorrow night into saturday morning, we get a wider area of scattered showers. so there will be some wet weather here over the next 48 hours or so. and then late saturday we'll see skies getting sunnier and conditions getting drier. overnight, low temperatures mainly in the mid to upper 50s. tonight. highs tomorrow mid 60s at the coast. upper 60s to low 70s around the bay shoreline and mainly mid to upper 70s inland where typically this time of the year we'd see low to mid 90s inland. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. so cooler than average weather again tomorrow, even into saturday, although it does start to warm up a little bit on saturday. sunday sunnier and warmer with inland highs in the low 90s and then monday and tuesday. here comes the sizzle. upper 90s to about 100 inland on monday and tuesday. mid to upper 80s around the bay shoreline and 70 on the coast. that's a great day. those are two great days to go out to
