containment. right now that fire is listed at 27% contained. then some evacuation orders in el dorado county have been lifted. milder conditions provided a huge boost for the firefighters, but that fire has sadly still destroyed 650 homes, burning 211,000 acres. we generally get the latest update around the 7:00 hour so we're hoping there could be more improvement. meteorologist kari hall, you've been tracking what the conditions have been like for firefighters. >> yeah. they've been doing an amazing job with all of the conditions that we've seen recently and the winds are calming down and they're really taking advantage of that to try to get the upper hand on this fire. this is a look at our fire detection sensor new york and the yellow dots indicate where we've seen the fire burning. red shows us where the fire is moving and what else is ahead of that. the more active fire near south lake tahoe, here we are right over here by heavenly and this

is what it looks like on some of the cameras this morning as we wake up and get a look at some of those flames that are still quickly moving in some of these spots and it's really been so sad to see over the past couple days. once again, we are hoping for more containment today as the winds calm down. it's going to be light and variable winds for today which, of course, also may reduce the visibility as some of that smoke settles in. if you're wondering what temperatures are like around the caldor fire, it's fairly mild today but it will be getting hot in this area heading into labor day and that's going to be very taxing on those fire crews that are already exhausted from battling these fires. we'll have more updates marcus. >> the fires taxing on our environment as well as those firefighters because the caldor fire along with the dixie fire are among several taking firefighters to the brink of exhaustion. the alameda county fire department has 30 members assisting in the sierra nevada. the department is maintaining

full staffing levels. crews usually work two days on and four days off. when the big fire happens they can work seven days or 14 days straight. >> hot conditions they're working these fires 24/7. they're working very hard and they're eating and sleeping on the line many of the time. >> cal fire requires its employees to work 21 days straight with only two days off and while it may be physically and certainly mental exhausting, the agency says this is what they train for. our coverage doesn't stop here. the latest on the caldor fire by visiting us online you can go to nbcbayarea.com. breaking overnight, the prime minister of new zealand calling a stabbing rampage at a supermarket the work of an isis inspired terrorist. this happened in auckland. six people were injured, three are in critical condition. authorities did shoot and kill the attacker within about a minute's time. they say he was a sri lankan national who had been on their radar since at least 2016 and

"today in the bay's" tracie potts is live in washington with an update on the aftermath and we know that the president is headed there. what can we expect from that trip? >> biden is heading to the gulf region, kris. good morning, everyone, he wants to see the damage from louisiana when this category 4 hurricane hit the coastline and then barreled not only through the state but as you said all the way up to the northeast with the remnants of that storm causing so much damage. the president getting a bird's eye view today, actually a hands on view, and then also taking a look at what it's going to take

down. the president is leaning on insurance companies not to read the fine print and put people through red tape to deny claims instead of paying them. >> well, that lady said it best, it felt like hell. i can only imagine it truly does. thank you. to the pandemic, hospitals across the country are seeing an uptick in pediatric covid infections and hospitalizations. the cdc says more children have covid because it's spreading more quickly and more of our kids are back in school in person. still, data shows the overall number of children in the hospital with covid remains low. however, the american academy of pediatrics finds children still account for about 2% of covid related hospitalizations. in august look at that number, more than half a million children tested positive for covid. >> when you see the numbers look, we feed to talk about the infections being reported for the three largest school districts in san jose. kris, you were talking about the

let's take a live look at sfo. perhaps you have travel plans for the labor day holiday weekend. chances are you made those plans for flight before the delta surge. we know now the cdc is urging unvaccinated people to stay home. vaccinated travelers are advised to mask up and keep their distance. ucsf expert peter chin-hong says taking precautions is very important. we are definitely going to see a bump in cases after the hospital. the amount of virus in the bay area is high. >> it is high here and higher in other parts of the country. if you're traveling to places like montana or florida or hawaii, where hospitals are stretched thin, you might even risk not being able to get medical care should you get sick or some covid affect. . finally, the series giants fans have been waiting for.

we're wearing our orange. dodgers come to town for three games with the teams tied at the top of the division. >> let's play ball. the giants hopefully starting another roll. yesterday they busted open a 1-1 tie in the eighth. darren duff double scored. to make that 2-1. a couple batters later, a three-run home run from es straed da led the giants to a 5-1 win breaking the four-game losing streak. here we go. the giants play the dodgers tonight at oracle park. nbc bay area will air it. you don't have to go to the game if you're scared about getting out there. that starts at 6:30 right here. >> best seat in the house, right. if you can keeps the dog off the couch. >> look. >> yeah. >> look, take a look inside and if you do decide to go to the game this is where you're going to be. >> look at that. >> it does look refreshing this morning.

somewhere southbound 101 as folks are heading past story road. the lights are in our faces right now coming northbound and then they're spaced from what little you can see there. the sensors tell the better story. we typically have overnight warming fires even though it's not so severe. those who are living outside may be colder and that's what the fires are there. sometimes they get a little out of hand. we'll track that. no injuries reported and no structures. barely any slowing out of the altamont pass. no backups. contra costa county moving at speed. no backup at the toll plaza. back to you. >> thanks, mike. >> now hiring, next on "today in the bay," walmart prepares for the holiday season by adding a lot of new jobs. and there's a wage hike already in line for hundreds of thousands of workers. >> hopefully that will have a good effect on jobs numbers because we've got the latest and they were terrible. i'll go over them with you coming up. wall street doesn't seem to be too phased.

report is a disappointment. 235,000 new jobs filled, not positions, as people stayed home in august and covid and the higher unemployment checks may have been a factor. >> one was the virus, being afraid of contracting it and potentially getting sick or dying. then you had another interesting group, dual income families. because of covid they couldn't come back, schools closed, parents couldn't have a babysitter for part of the day, couldn't find part-time help to help them, so they didn't come back. then other people that really just made more on unemployment. they got the state unemployment and federal cares act on top of that. >> the federal payments the extra ones which come economists think kept people out of the workforce end on monday. covid does not end soon. florida saw the deadliest day

ever. 2,926 americans died yesterday, 1,338 were floridians coming two children. 45% of the deaths in the country in 24 hours in florida. president biden will peek about the disappointing jobs report later this morning. he doesn't know what the report says. presidents get the numbers at the same time we do. if he was expecting good news, they are rewriting that speech right now. covid still having a massive effect on the supply chain. ford says sales cratered last month and weren't enough cars and trucks to sell. gm will idle more plants. chip companies are building new facilities. a photograph at asml in san jose, intel building new ones in arizona. these take years to build and bring up to speed. we're looking at maybe another two years of chip shortages throughout the united states. >> a long time. something we need in everything. >> everything.

california. temperatures wise where we're headed today. mostly 70s and 80s and a couple spots hitting 90s but then there will be more widespread 90s in the forecast tomorrow afternoon after the cool start, temperatures in concord and livermore reaching into the mid to upper 90s. cool start on sunday morning and gets hotter, as high pressure moves in closer and that's going to boost the temperatures and fight back that ocean breeze. the winds will start to calm down, but then by next week we'll be watching a storm system approaching from the pacific northwest and that's going to gradually help cool us off. a look at our seven-day forecast shows that we're going it see those highs in the mid 90s for the weekend. hot on labor day. speaking of work, how is it looking getting out for work this morning? >> folks will have a little bit and i have a little work to do. little delay out of richmond. the richmond bridge, a smooth drive and the toll plaza heading across the bay, your commute directions are looking great.

getting away from the richmond bridge toward the east shore freeway at east 580 around carlson reports of a crash have yielded one vehicle in the middle lane there. that's the problem. it's in the middle lane so until a crew gets there to assist them we will have folks getting by on either direction. be careful there. the bay bridge toll plaza shows no backup. neither for the other incidents. something by the san mateo toll plaza we'll check on that. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 6:24 and outrage in antioch. next on "today in the bay," a student is arrested at school, it was all caught on camera. this is the video you're seeing here. parents and other students say they're shocked but we'll tell you how the district is responding. >> facing competition after a no confidence vote. sheriff laurie smith has a new challenger. who is it? we're going to talk about it when we return.

there's concern running high at antioch high school after an arrest that was caught on camera. the board held a special meeting last night in the wake of this tiktok video that went viral. the principal says one student attacked a classmate and threatened to harm his entire class, but school says -- police say the school security needed help detaining the 16-year-old and why they showed up on campus. the video is raising a red flag for some people. next, gaining ground on the caldor fire. the process being made on the frontlines. this is in south lake tahoe. the air quality concerns here in the bay area. >> i'm bob redell.

containment of the caldor fire is up to 27%, higher than 25rs yesterday. that's not the only good news. some vaccination orders in el dorado county lifted and conditions yesterday were relatively mild for firefighters, though the vast majority of people are still out of their homes this morning and we know that at least 650 homes will be gone and are destroyed. the fire has burned 211,000 acres. let's take a live look outside across the bay area. wildfire smoke looming in the skies above. air quality advisory once again going into effect. meteorologist kari hall, of course, tracking those conditions for us this morning. kari? >> yeah. some of that smoke is mixing in with the low clouds that we typically see for our morning start this morning. we are seeing some moderate air quality. these are live weather sensors that show air quality around the bay area. yellow means moderate and so we're going to see at times some of that smoke drifting in,

moderate air quality will continue today. it looks like where we see the yellows and greens indicates some unhealthy air quality for those who are sensitive to the wildfire smoke. if you're smelling that most likely you are breathing in the wildfire smoke that could be unhealthy. some of the worst going into tomorrow will be in parts of the north bay, some of that smoke coming straight down from the fires burning farther to our north. we'll be monitoring the air quality as our temperatures heat up. we'll talk more about that coming up in a few minutes. >> thank you. our coverage does not stop here. you can get the latest on the caldor fire including those updated numbers that come down about 7:00 if you visit us online at nbcbayarea.com. 6:34. ballot security and accuracy, a big focus ahead of the recall election. security experts are asking california's secretary of state to conduct an audit after the september 14th election. now this follows last month's public release of the company's dominion ballot counting system

which runs elections across the country. that happened during an event organized by my pillow ceo mike lindell an ally for donald trump who is being sued by dominion over claims of false data collection. the group raising these concerns says that it is -- there is no evidence of foul play here and the secretary of state's office says that the 40 counties in california that use dominion use a different version of that system than the one leaked last month. but security experts say that leaked software very similar. new for you this morning embattled santa clara county sheriff laurie smith facing a new political challenger. according to "the mercury news" retired captain kevin jensen is looking to unseat her next year, something he tried to do back in 2014 and it comes after supervisors this week issued a largely symbolic no confidence vote. the vote follows san jose mayor sam liccardo's call for smith to resign be citing pay for play

scandal and patterns of abuse at county jails. sheriff smith called it fall and misleading allegations. turning to the pandemic, a new study further supports the idea that vaccines reduce the risk of severe disease and hospitalization in breakthrough covid infections. the data collected in the u.s. and the uks also says the shots can lower the odds of having long-term covid systems and the odds of having lingering infection conditions past 28 days were cut in half for those who were vaccinated. new concerns about the effectiveness of the covid vaccine. they measured the response for health care workers in the wake of the delta variant surge and after the end of the statewide mask mandate. what they found is from march through june, vaccine effectiveness was at about 90rs then in july dropped to about 65% after we unmasked. they note that vaccine still provided better protection from severe outcomes like

hospitalizations and deaths. their letter published this week in the "new england journal of medicine." everything now set in the criminal fraud trial for theranos founder elizabeth holmes. opening statements are schedule for nextednesday jurors were seated yesterday. that process moving relatively quickly despite all the local attention on the case. even the recent release of documents about the failed blood testing company. so the jury made up of seven men, five women and five alternates and it's believed the 37-year-old holmes will take the witness stand. developing right now, buying your peanuts and cracker jacks during the giants game may be tricky if the claims from vendors become accurate. >> the union representing concession workers is now threatening to strike tomorrow. it follows what the union says is at least 20 workers having been infected since the park fully reopened in june. the union seeking $3 an hour for

court's constitutional rulings show there are justices on the court that are willing to curtail and potentially even he -- elip nate abortion rights. more details on that, some of the country's largest dating apps are taking a stand against texas abortion law. bumble announcing that it is creating a relief fund to support people seeking abortions in the state. while the ceo of match announcing in a memo she will personally create a fund to support texas based workers who need to seek care out of the state. now president biden has directed the department of justice to look into what's happening down in texas. >> the full weight of the federal government now on the lone star state. >> a battle between what states want to do or at least a small group of leaders in that state, and what the federal government government wants. biden in a written statement would ask doj and other agencies

to see what tools its has and what legal tools we have to insulate women and providers from the impact of texas' bizarre scheme of outsourced enforcement to private parties. >> most importantly, he's also directed them to work with the legal team here at the white house, the department of justice, the department of health and human services, to determine what, if any, steps can be taken to protect a woman's right to choose and access to health care. >> president biden will speak about the latest jobs report for august just out from the department of labor showing only 235,000 new jobs were created last month. well under hopes and estimates. unemployment rate falls to 5.2%. we're still going over the report line by line but covid is a big part of it. florida had its deadliest day ever yesterday. after talking about jobs the president and first lady will

travel to louisiana to inspect damage from hurricane ida. yesterday the president said he will dip into the strategic petroleum reserve to try to keep gas prices lower and will allow truck drivers to drive longer hours to deliver supplies and fuel. this is pretty standard post-hurricane playbook. most presidents do something similar. we have an update for you as well on one of the alleged attackers in the january 6th rebellion. doug jensen is back in jail. jensen is the one seen in photographs challenging police officers. he's the one in the video leading the charge ups the stairs towards officer eugene goodman, leading the mob away from lawmakers. jensen was out on bail at home, one of the requirements he stay off the internet. well, reports say a court officer caught him using an iphone on wi-fi in his garage watching my pillow guy mike lindell's cyber security summit. that was enough to convince a

bottlerock organizers are requiring proof of vaccination or a negative covid test within 72 hours of attendance. they're recommending masks in the outdoor spaces, but only requiring them indoors. wristbands and purchases will be touchless and public health and infectious disease experts say with those protocols in place, the delta surge makes any festival risky, especially for people who are not vaccinated. >> the bottom line is, anybody who is not vaccinated should not be attending. they're a major risk to themselves and they are a major risk to other people. if you are vaccinated, i personally would not go because we know that people who are vaccinated unfortunately some of these people can trans mitts-- transmit the virus. most don't. some can. if you're not vaccinated that's a major risk. >> reporter: here's what you can expect at other large outdoor

gatherings. outside lands like bottlerock will require proof of vaccination or a negative covid test to get in. hardly strictly bluegrass is taking their event online. want to watch giants baseball at oracle park with you won't need a test or vaccine card. don't expect people to be masked except when inside. concession workers will vote this weekend to possibly go on strike if they got get hazard pay for those working in those conditions. now here in contra costa county, some changes are in place and health experts say when you do consider those larger venues, maybe it was okay earlier this summer but not so much now. reporting live in walnut creek, i'm sharon katsuda, "today in the bay." >> the picture is different when people maybe bought their tickets to bottlerock or booked tickets for travel before the delta surge. it would be interesting to know how many folks are going to [ inaudible ] those plans. >> you're out there too. >> i have to tell you -- >> go ahead, sharon.
