warned it would happen and now it has. >> we outlined our concerns. look at what happened today. >> they say they told the city about what happened, but nobody listened. hi, i'm sara donchey. what a way to wake up. imagine seeing this outside your window. a fire so big and so hot it ripped out scaffolding and may have cracked windows across the street. what's really disturbing is that san francisco firefighters say this could have easily taken out an entire city block. but tonight neighbors in his valley told us they tried to warn the city months ago that something like this could happen. they tried to tell our busy you, they got crickets in response. >> reporter: firefighters are still here on the scene putting out hot spots and parts of the

block is still closed to traffic. while the cause is not yet known, neighbors in this area are concerned encampments may have played a role. this is the view from brendan's home taking more than 100 firefighters to contain the fast moving four-alarm fire around four alarm. >> i was awoken by my dogs. i woke up to the building here, which was fully involved. >> reporter: no injuries reported, but the fire displaced eight residents. the heat cracked windows on buildings across the street. this isn't the first time fires have happened in the immediate area. >> i know there have been a number of recent fires especially here on this stretch of octavia. >> reporter: in fact back in may, the hays valley neighborhood association sent a

letter to city leaders, including the mayor drawing attention to the problem. >> we basically got no response, so we outlined our concerns that something more major could happen. now we don't know if this fire is a result of a homeless encampment. but what we do know, we've had a string of fires up and down here causing grave concerns for neighbors. >> reporter: he's lived in the same encampment for decades. >> they come and go, but the encampments are here more than not. >> reporter: the city staid in a statement they're aware of past incidents related to encampments. they understand residents are frustrated. the mayor is committed to keeping our streets clean through regular homeless outreach. >> it's an ongoing issue, but i think the employees of this had city, they really do try to do

their best to keep us safe. the fire department told us it could be early tomorrow morning before that stretch of octavia reopens. that's a busy intersection. the murder of cash app founder, bob lee, has attracted national attention. the man accused of stabbing him is set to stand trial for murder in san francisco. during a two-day hearing, prosecutors made their case against nima momeni with surveillance video. the district attorney had previously released text messages suggesting he had a fight with momeni the night he died. outside the courtroom, we heard from lee's ex-wife for the first time since lee was killed. crystal lee says she has no reason to believe lee and momeni were friends before his had death. >> he's admitting to it saying it was self-defense. the fact he stabbed him multiple times

is disgusting. >> i don't think they were friends. i never heard him mention bob, and we were very close. we spoke all the time. i've never once heard him mention that name. and so no, i'm sorry, i don't think they were friends. >> but the defense claims everything points to a >> they don't have the reck sit have been putting in. do you remember the bond? this was not true. >> we heard from momeni's sister who had a relationship with lee. she has repeatedly refused to cooperate. tonight was the night for a whole lot of block parties. it's an annual event for police to build relationships with their communities. it comes at a time when a lot of people in

the bay area have serious concerns about safety and crime where they live. ♪ [ music ] ♪ that was a block party near san francisco college this weekend. the oakland hills did their own thing tonight. will. let's face it, there's been a lot of serious issues in parts of oakland and elsewhere. neighbors have told us about stories of being carjacked with their own concerns about what police should be doing to confront all of that. >> struggling with a public image of winning the three days. let's unpack that narrative and havely tale it and to have those conversations. oakland residents have been pushing for a state of emergency to help get a handle

on the spike of violence reps dents. last week two men shot backfiring almost 20 rounds at a woman who somehow was unlucky. >> she is still in jeopardy being an elderly neighbor. >> reporter: the woman lives a few doors down. she didn't want to use her name or face on camera. he doesn't want to be the next target. he says the entire neighborhood is on

>> we're probably going to lose hundreds of joshua trees. this is pretty devastating, but it might take decades to see them come back. >> the fire is mainly burning in the mojave national preserves. nobody knows the full extent of the damage. a lot of people come here to visit to see the joshua trees, which apparently are hindering the fire fighting efforts. they're trying not to destroy them. >> they're not particularly well fire adapted plants, and it is weird the biggest fire so

far is burning in the desert, which you wouldn't think fire because we had so much rain last winter. it's not going to affect the air quality and smoke burning in a different direction. let's take a look at the air quality map, which is pretty much green across the board. yellow dots mixed in from the air sensor, but good air quality from the bay area today and mostly good air quality tomorrow. any smoke will be drifting down from the flat fire, still burning in southwestern it oregon. a little bit of that along the coast, but you won't notice tomorrow. and i think at worse, air quality in the moderate category later this week as well. plenty of fog out there, even some patches of mist and drizzle, driving around the rest of tonight or early tomorrow morning, you'll have to fiddle with the windshield wipers. sunshine will breakthrough tomorrow, but it will be pretty gray. then it will take longer than normal for the sun to breakthrough for san francisco and oakland as well. cool temperatures tomorrow and thursday, but then a big warm up in time for the weekend. but it's like every

warm up so far this summer. it'll be very brief. back to average temperatures next week. that'll continue in the 6 to 10-day outlook and the 8 to 14-day outlook center. just kind of normal temperatures once we get past that brief heat wave that settles in for parts of the bay area this weekend. looking out over the santa clara valley, filling in with fog. that widespread cloud cover that we'll see for the rest of tonight. temperatures in the upper 50s. you're in the warm spot in there somewhere just above 60 degrees at the moment. that fog will be widespread across the entire bay area by early tomorrow morning. it will dissipate pretty quickly inland. but it will take a while to back up even from the bay. to the coast you won't see much clearing. more likely over the weekend. you'll see some sun breaking through. temperatures tonight, not dropping too far from where we are mostly in the 50s. highs tomorrow are going to be a few degrees below average around the bay. several degrees below average farther inland. combination of the low cloud

cover and fog slowing down the warm up and a decent onshore breeze helping to keep the air-conditioning going for the warmest parts of the bay area. right along 60 with the mix of 60s and 70s down the south end of the bay. the temperature map is more reminiscent of early may as opposed to early august. and only hitting the low 80s. most of the trivalleys topping out in the 70s, almost unheard of for early august. 60s in san francisco, 60s for oakland and the east bay. mostly 80s for the north bay. just the warmest spots getting to the 80s until you go much further north to around 90 degrees for mendocino county. if you're heading out for game three of the giant series against the diamondbacks, temperatures are going to be cool. that marine layer will be spreading plenty of fog across san francisco once again on wednesday evening. first pitch at 6:45 at oracle park. just make sure you layer up. not something that folks associate with august baseball, but here we are. temperatures are going to warm up it in san francisco and oakland this weekend. just not

nearly as much as inland spots. low 70s in the city this weekend. around 80 degrees for oakland and the east bay. temperatures will only get up to 90 degrees in san jose for the warmest day on sunday. that's not out of control heat. but well into the 90s on saturday, sunday, monday for most of the north bay. and way into the 90s inland to the east bay. 100 degrees on sunday. a lot of folks flocking to the coast to find those temperatures staying in the mid-60s. vern? all right, ahead tonight in sports, baseball history made almost 2,000 miles from here. and the giants, no trade today? no problem at third and king streets.

we've got baseball up top of the giants. if this season becomes a hit and you look for key wins. tonight might have been one of them. no trade deadline move today. and gabe kapler is fine with that. >> the biggest signal in the

clubhouse is we believe in you. we believe it's a good group that's capable of going to the post season, making a deep post season run. >> a.j. pollock required monday, started in left field at 0-3 tonight against arizona. hits were hard to come by. just three going to the sixth inning. then they would score three runs, all with two outs. brandon crawford, a big blow as he would tie the game with a two run homer. the next inning, lamont wade jr. he homered 82 at bats. giving the giants the lead. the top of the 9th. the diamondbacks with the tieing run on first and look what happened. the catcher patrick bailey. threw to first and got the runner to end the game. you don't mess with bailey. that was his second throw out of the night. and would all seem lost. down 3-0. they came alive and they won this game the final of 4-3. and so the giants became the fan. his a's hung with the dodgers until they didn't. but

mookie betts in that one-run game. blasted the 7th inning solo shot. remaining two and a half games ahead of san francisco in the national west. the night for the lefty, framber valdez. the cleveland guardians with the looper here and that no hitter came out of it. becoming the first lefty in their history to toss that no-no. only the third of the season. and valdez, they needed just 93 pitches. now you had to get up early to watch the world cup team nearly get eliminated near as they shot off the post and in extra time. game ended in that scoreless draw to move on for the knockout stage. the u.s. plays sunday morning at 5:00 a.m. the opponent to be determined. boy, when that shot almost went in, i was like whoa. that would have been the biggest upset maybe in world cup history. >> and portugal would play admirably, which i did very late into the evening.

>> they were the better team on the field. my personal opinion and all the analysts, now you. so it's confirmed. thank you. we appreciate it. normally if that bar earns a top spot. it's because their drinks are really nice. but one bay area bar is being recognized for

if you didn't win the mega millions tonight, don't worry, nobody did. that means the jackpot stands at $1.25 billion. even though you lost this, you won something else. maybe you didn't even realize it. krispy kremes is giving out free donuts to lottery losers like me. all you have to do is bring in your ticket tomorrow to cash in. if you're heading out to san francisco's outside lands next weekend and you have a list of artists you want to

see, you can start planning ahead. they announced set times. you might find yourself in one of those dilemmas to make a tough call about who you choose to see because there's overlap. so for example, if you're a friend of kendrick lamar, call me. i want tickets. but if you're a fan of kendrick lamar and zed, good luck. they're on the same time on friday, so you've got to pick. saturday you can catch the foo fighters and still make it to half of lana del rey's set and sprint over if you really want to see them. and normally you would rank bars based on the drinks, maybe the vibe. but one san francisco bar is on the map because of its bathroom. it's impressive. check it out. it's a stylish looking bathroom at el rio. it's one of ten finalists for the 2023 america's best bathroom contest. the restrooms got renovated back in march. you can see why it's considered
