afternoon people and figure out when i could fit them in again. >> reporter: cal osha issued an advisory for people working outside. a reminder employees should be provided with plenty of drinking water and shaded work areas and employees should be allowed to cool down with breaks if they need to. now as tempting as it might be to have a frosty beer or an icy margarita with your lunch, remember that alcohol does not hydrate you so still have to drink water and though it might be hot with your mask on, you still have to wear it. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." with all of the heat taking over the bay area, kari hall working nonstop for us. she's even giving you a mini on the go forecast. follow her on instagram, twitter and facebook. four law enforcement officers who shot an antioch man nine times will not be charged. that is according to the east bay times.
