anybody out in the grocery store, shopping center. >> horrific. don't know what to do ouwhere a possibst might have injured a high school student this morning. police say an altercation happened between two students at san mateo high school involving a knife. the school was put under secure campus operations until this afternoon. the victim suffered minor injuries but was treated by the school's wellness staff. meanwhile, the city of san francisco launched a new program to crack down on catalytic converter thefts. today san francisco police partnered with sunset auto care to etch catalytic converters for free. police say getting them etched with id er much easier to catch the criminals. take rka mas live look at c center as the warriors honor national gun awareness day. this weekend the arena's exterior will light up in orange to honor the thousands on of americans who were killed with guns every year as well as

is more than a week. she is the founder of the rice rockettes, a group founded 14 years ago before there were many asian americans performing in drag. >> just the number of asian performers in san francisco was very small. you could probably count them on one hand. we officially formed in 2009. that's when we had our first booking as a club event as a group. it was wigs flying everywhere. there was confetti and people falling and people doing all sorts of things. so it was pure chaos, but it was a lot of fun. >> reporter: the fun building into a following, the rice rockettes making a national appearance in 2011 on "america's got talent." today booking more than 50 gigs every year. >> drag culture has sort of like crept into the vernacular, the fashion, the makeup. it's

but spokespeople for their art. >> we do our jobs trying to exist. my big wish is just let people live their lives, you know. they're trying to go to work, trying to live their lives, trying to go to the bathroom, trying to play sports and i think if anything, just maybe if it's not your cup of tea, just move on. >> reporter: it's a wish that will take more time. >> you're doing it as long as i have been doing it. >> reporter: time to reach perfection, time to reach acceptance. >> we've got much more on all the pride month celebrations around the bay area and the nation. just head to our website, kpix.com, or watch us streaming on the free cbs news bay area app. still ahead, a polio survivor shows us anything is possible, how she fought back the paralyzing effects of polio and is now doing what she loves. and we'll show you a new tool created in a high school

science class that could make a huge difference during fire season. take all the help we can get. beautiful weather for this second afternoon of june, blue skies, a little haze on the horizon, do not onshore breeze keeping temperatures

a down sign to the incredible amount of rain and incredible green growth is the

risk fires. our current temperatures are drying out all that vegetation from our winter storms, but a campolindo high school graduate who just graduated from college created a tool to use as a safeguard during fire season. it all started as a high school science fair project. >> reporter: 2017 was a particularly bad year for the wine country wildfires. the smoke spread across the bay area and sparked an idea in moraga for a campolindo high school senior to try to do something to help. >> obviously lives were lost, billions of dollars in damage, et cetera and i just thought to myself like why is there a smoke alarm for the indoors that exists and it's basically ubiquitous all around the world, but there's no outdoor smoke alarm or outdoor fire sensor in existence at all? >> reporter: with that thought he played it a reality with the science fair project at school. it was such a success that he took it all the way to the international level winning the

top honor at the competition. >> it just came from within in him. >> reporter: roxanna jackman was vossia's science teacher. it was in this classroom where the young student was inspired to make something to impact his own community. >> projects that he created had such potential and even at the time that's when he really went all the way to the top because it was helping fight fires in california and we were all staying inside and not breathing the air because it was so smoky. it was so relevant. >> reporter: now 23 years old and a new grad of university of pennsylvania, vossia is no longer a student. he is an entrepreneur. that science fair project from 2018 is now a developed tool to help in california's fight against wildfires. >> now actually taken the idea i first developed while being in the school and now actually selling the product feels pretty crazy to me, especially because a product can impact people directly and can actually save lives. it can save billions of dollars for people all around the u.s. and all around the world in any

fire risk areas. >> reporter: his product is torch sensors. it uses ai technology to detect even small flare-ups. each sensor is placed within ten acres of each other. >> solar powered with a battery inside and just actively detects fires 24/7 after that. >> i need fire detection that's happening on the sensor arrive straight to the app on the phone. >> reporter: warning you and others on the app's network of a possible fire hazard to get that fire out before it gets on the of control. now back on his high school campus where torch sensors was just in its early stages, vossia has big plans for his product this year. >> i'm making the technology as reliable as possible. so we're in the final stages of setting up and delivering it to the people that are preordering it in the future. this summer we're going to be doing a lot of pilot tests with big stakeholder customers, such as insurance companies, such as home security companies,

vineyards around california, napa valley and san diego and colorado, et cetera, showcasing our product to these people and we're going to be testing big fires. >> reporter: all of this should have torch sensors ready to protect bay area homes for the 2024 fire season and this could be one solution in california's fight against wildfires. >> that's really the great unknown right now is we've gotten so much rain which has been great for so many reasons, but with that all that beautiful green grass, that's fuel for fires. >> the flashy fuels, grass and thinner vegetation, that stuff will dry up quickly and burn. it really helped with the trees. one rainy season doesn't erase the fire threat. california still burns unless you're in the midst of a multiyear rainy pattern, not yet. in the short term, hey, it's almost the weekend, something positive. beautiful view from salesforce tower looking across the bay towards

mount diablo, air quality mostly good, moderate at worst. patchy fog will develop overnight, but it won't be very stubborn. we'll see a warm weekend inland with temperatures staying cool along the coast, around the bay in between, mild temperatures, maybe a degree or two above average for san francisco and oakland. next week is cooler, more cloud cover, an outside chance of a shower tuesday and wednesday. let's look at the temperature roller coaster ride and focus on livermore because you'll have some of the bigger temperature swings away from the waters, upper 80s for highs sunday and down to near average highs monday and we go into a slightly below average pattern tuesday through the following weekend in june. it's not going to be a full fledged cold snap. we'll run 3 or 4 degrees below what's normal for this time of year, just a noticeable dropoff from the weekend warmth. as temperatures warm up, we'll spend a couple days in the medium high category for the

pollen count tomorrow and sunday, grass pollen and juniper pollen. outside now from san jose, just a little haze, temperature in san jose in the mid-70s, pretty much perfect for early june. temperatures are in the 60s around the bay, 62 in the city, 67 in oakland. inland temperatures mid- to upper 70s and above 80 degrees in concord, near or slightly above temperatures for inland parts of the bay area. if you're heading out to oracle park this evening, it's fireworks night. first pitch doesn't get thrown until 7:15, game time around 60 degrees coasting into the mid-50s in time for the postgame fireworks, a pleasantly cool evening for some games across the entire bay area. the visibility tomorrow morning will improve rapidly. the fog backs up towards the coast. it won't be that widespread. we'll start off in the low to mid-50s and temperatures warm up except along the coast, near 60 there,

low to mid-70s down the peninsula and around the south end of the bay, near 80-degree highs in the santa clara valley, low to mid-80s inland and east bay, some of the warmest spots threatening 90 degrees, mid- to upper 60s and low 70s around the bay with a lot of upper 70s and low 80s inland and the north bay and cloverdale threatening 90 degrees but not quite there. going to the san mateo county fair this weekend, looks perfect, right around 70 degrees saturday and sunday. the forecast for the next seven days, not much change. there's a noticeable decrease in temperatures next week for inland parts of the north bay and the santa clara valley, slightly below average with some additional cloud cover monday and tuesday and the outside, outside chance of a shower, maybe a pop-up thunderstorm, nothing to be worried about. >> the good news is it's going to be a great weekend, a great night to watch the giants. >> every weekend is great. >> so true. sign me up. the

clock is ticking. paul, thanks. still ahead, a polio survivor shows us

a south bay woman isn't letting the paralyzing effects of polio hold her back from competing in sport and is now loves most. >> so i'm going to switch gear to be in a biking mode.

>> reporter: lebo meyers is about to do what many considered impossible, something her doctors, friends, and for most of her life even she thought she could never do, ride a bike. >> so that i won't be tangled with anything and then let's see. this is a very lightweight bike. >> reporter: lebo is a polio survivor. her right leg is almost completely powerless, yet somehow after numerous falls and getting up again, she trained herself how to pedal down the road and climb hills using only her left leg. >> still got it. my right leg is just tagging along. >> reporter: just tagging along for sometimes epic rides. a few years ago she completed a 102-mile loop around the eastern sierra. it took her more than 11 hours, but she finished. >> i think everybody has so much potential in them and a

lot of people underestimated their own potential. you got a lot in you. you got to dig, dig deeper. >> reporter: lebo has been digging deeper her entire life. she was born in rural china and at 11 months old got polio which affected her right leg. she can walk with the help of a leg brace designed to help military veterans come back from battlefield injuries. >> as far as i can remember, i was walking with a limp. so that's basically the polio effect on me. i can only imagine why you're different in any way. life can be really harsh. i was bullied a lot. kids would know that if they pushed me down, it's really hard for me to get up really quickly. they just keep doing that. >> reporter: she fought back against the bullies and then discovered her own super powers in the classroom. she came to the u.s. in her 20s and earned a master's degree in computer science and phd in chemo metrics and today is an

engineering executive at apple and a newly published author of her personal story of struggle and success. >> the book is called "limp forward." i picked it because it really resembles not only me, my personal experience, that i limp, in all our lives everybody in some way, we're all limping forward. >> reporter: lebo hopes the book can be an inspiration to others and pledged to donate five times the sale of her books to hope services where she sits on the board of directors. >> i hope people feel less alone when they read my story. >> reporter: lebo is still setting physical goals. she's training herself how to run and she recently took up karate to spend more time with her boys and she's just two belts away from a black belt. >> i really learned that anything is possible. >> reporter: she admits to surprising herself with some of her personal and professional accomplishments. what sent surprising is that she's never afraid to take up a challenge,

even if it's just one step, a karate kick,
