give up and we don't want to just sit there and let it happen. i don't know what they are deciding but i am sure they will come to the conclusion they need cameras everywhere. >> cal fire investigators in santa clara county crews increased their presence on old santa cruz road near where the fires were started. it is no surprise then that cal fire says 95% of wildfires are caused by people and can be prevented. with this wildfire season off to a quick and intense start cal fire is stretched thin. the largest of course is the park fire burning in butte counties. forcing evacuations and destroying hundreds of buildings already. it is is only 22% contained. there could be more challenges in the coming days with the potential for erratic winds, thunderstorms. so, the fire started last week after the investigators say a man pushed a burning car into a ravine. all right, paul has been talking about possible showers, a change in the weather a

will drift down towards ground level. at worst our air quality will be in the moderate category. in terms of the threat of the showers, a rogue thunderstorm headed towards us. sierra and this forecast model is one of the few trying to develop showers and get them to run into the east bay and the santa clara valley by late tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening. move of the models don't have that. it is an outside chance. something we will be watching if the showers are thunderstorms, we don't want lightning strikes into the dry fire fuels. there is the fog, the view from the bottom up. it is just shrouding the buildings. the temperatures down to the middle 50s already in san francisco and santa rosa. the temperatures elsewhere, in the 60s, 71 degrees right now in livermore. the fact that the fog has been pushed all of the way down to ground level. you can see the top of the tower indicating the compressed nature of the marine layer that will limit how far in the inland valleys the fog
