oakland firefighters are speaking out about the temporary closure. >> of 2 fire stations. kron 4 charles clifford is live for us now in oakland with details on what this means for response times. >> well, good afternoon. as of today, january 6 station. 25, which is right behind me here in station. 28 are closed, at least temporarily. earlier today, firefighters from oakland expressed their frustration and said the closing the itation's endangers public safety. on monday morning, oakland firefighters gathered on the steps of city hall to demand that the city reopened. the recently closed fire stations show that the city's budget prioritizes the lives of citizens of this great city. oakland is facing a budget deficit of around 129 million dollars. the city was counting on the sale of the oakland coliseum site to fill that budget gap. >> but the deal has yet to go through as a result. the city is making significant cuts to services the police department

and fire department are by far oakland's largest expenses and in an effort to save money, fire stations. 25 28 will be temporarily closed station 10, which is already shut down, will remain shuttered. the fire department worries that the closures, but the people who live near those stations at risk. >> you will not have a fire engine doorstep in 4 minutes like you would have just yesterday. you will not quickly have firefighter paramedics to help you or your family and what could have been a small blaze. for a small fire near your house will become a conflagration leading tragedy its wake. >> the firefighters are also calling on the city and alameda county to quickly complete the sale of the coliseum site and restore services. >> and the moment the ink dries on the coliseum sale team immediately stop these dangerous and reckless closures that threaten all of oakland fire stations. 25 28 were chosen to be temporarily closed. >> because they tend to be less busy during the winter and spring months station. 21 about 4 miles away will handle

the bulk of their calls for service. 25 28 could reopen later this year. but if oakland is still facing budget problems, the city has said that other stations may need to be closed. all right, back live now, the firefighters who work at 25 28, they've been reassigned to other stations, at least temporarily. >> but for now in oakland, charles, clifford kron, 4 news. >> charles, thank you. there's a change in leadership that's coming to the embattled antioch police department just this week, the city manager is expected to appoint a new acting chief of police kron, 4 sleep ports. this appointment is coming as the city and the u.s. department of justice have reached an agreement to address corruption in the police force. >> on tuesday, interim antioch police chief brian addington is expected to re retire and city manager bessie scott plans on announcing a new acting police chief and until a permanent leader is named the new acting chief will see

the agency through the early stages of an agreement. the city and police department reached last week with the u.s. department of justice resulting a race discrimination investigation launched by the doj back in 2022. different. very important milestone that will that has been reached here during the course of the investigation. nearly half of any police officers were put on leave while the feds looked into racist text messages exchanged by officers which led to a larger corruption scandal and resulted in convictions. civil rights attorney john burris represents at least 26 plants in civil cases against the police department. some of whom have had charges reduced in court from fallout from the scandal. real concerned about back and forth enough for the green that. >> although we like it in principle, the truck got to tell what we're trying to get done as well. but i do have concerns about her famously represented plaintiffs in the oakland raiders case which led to federal oversight over the

oakland police department. >> but burris says that will not be the case for there's not going to be a federal monitor. the problem is this case not in case was not in court. >> and because not in court is overall controlled by federal judge that the agreement, the agreement stipulates the police department will hire an expert law enforcement consultant jointly selected by both sides to review and update police policies, procedures and training on non discriminatory policing. use-of-force and other issues and tasks the department with the collection and monitoring of the data collected for 5 years. whether or not the police department will have that. >> the 42 to stick to foggy agreement is an open question and one that even if you may have good intentions now, it's a long to ultimate success. and that will de la jefa and certainly need someone to monitor them hold feet to the fire. the police department

acknowledges the federal investigation revealed failures. it is committed to ensuring never happen again. >> philippe djegal all kron. 4 news. >> a gas leak on the laguna honda hospital campus in san francisco temporarily prompted some evacuations today. the san francisco department of public health says a contractor working on the campus damaged a gas line staff in the administration building evacuated for about an hour as crews work to cap this leak. the hospital building was not impacted and no residents or patients were evacuated. >> we're taking a live outside right now from the sea. >> through the fog here, here's the view from our mount tam cam fog. pretty stubborn today. meteorologist kyla grogan here. now details on what's going on outside. yeah, actually, we picture fog advisoryofor the north bay that lasted till just 2 o'clock. but now that he's been >> taken down as well. but now we have to contend with this. our beach hazard statement that is out and that is because between now and tuesday afternoon at about 4

o'clock, we are expecting this west-northwest swell to come in and that could produce a very high risk of sneaker waves. that's probably the biggest danger from this. but we could see waves breaking up to about 20 feet possible. so obviously the advice here is to never turn your back on the ocean. so it's because this well, as moving in this west-northwest swell, when you look out here, you can actually see where these brighter colors are. that is this? well, that is where the higher wave heights are right now. and they are moving towards us now. right now, things relatively not too bad, relatively calm about 7 feet in height. you can start to see if you take those looks outside at the ocean that, you know, things are getting churned up. so if you can avoid the coast between now tomorrow afternoon, that's probably your best bet. but if you must be out there, you want to stay off of coastal jedi's. keep your eyes on kids and pets. and as i mentioned, never turn your back on the ocean. that's why we say that is because sneaker waves can come up announce. now having said that, we are starting to get some breaking this fog. but mount tam, you still still have that up there in elevation. having said that, we're seeing some sunshine. it is breaking through it in a spot like san jose. we're at

62 degrees right now. we're getting some sunshine there. 55 in san francisco, you can see some 50's out there across the rest of the bay. this is as we get into the evening, see, start to see some those clouds clearing leaving us with just partly cloudy skies as we get into the overnight. and i'm happy to say that as we wake up tomorrow morning, we are looking a little bit better there, too. i do want to talk about the wind advisory. this kicks off tonight. we'll talk about that when i come back in just a bit. pilot. thank you. richmond. police are warning residents following an uptick in robberies. police say there have been 30 street robberies citywide since december first and are warning residents to be alert when they're outside. also be. >> diligent when exiting and entering your car, keep valuables out of sight. they're also saying travel in groups. if you don't feel safe and if you see something suspicious report it. in the south bay. police arrested a man and a woman for allegedly selling and supplying drugs guns across several bay area. cities. this picture here is of the illegal firearms and

trump to reverse this because would likely require an act of congress. trump has said he wants to expand offshore drilling. >> i intend to resign as party leader as prime minister. this country deserves a real choice in the next elections. >> canadian prime minister justin trudeau has resigned as liberal party leader. he will stay on as prime minister until a new leader of the liberal party is chosen. he has faced pressure from his own party to quit over the past couple of months following election losses and the resignation of key ministers, the canadian parliament will be suspended until march, which will allow time for a liberal party leadership race. still ahead here to be crucial prep season. >> officially started. we'll see how it's going so far in the bay area. also were under some beach hazard statement along the coast today. what to do if you're planning to go to beach. we'll break oakland swearing in its new council members today. and those busy

thao and nikki fortunato bas. we're gonna have a lot more coming up on kron. 4 news at 3 o'clock. back to you. just a theresa, thank you. one person is dead after car split in half after hitting a tree. >> happened just after 01:00am highway one in pescadero at being hollow road. the cause of the crash is unclear. police say the person who died was the only person in the car and the chp is looking into whether or not speed was a factor. all the lanes were blocked during the investigation, but it has since now reopened. happening now. anyone headed to the coast is urged to watch out for sneaker waves, which can sweep across the beach without into the water. kron four's - will tran reports from half moon bay. >> the warning will last until 04:00pm tomorrow. that's how long this is going to be a situation as sneaker waves are getting closer and closer. >> higher and higher along the beach. this is miramar beach

in half moon bay, a beautiful day, but it can turn deadly if you're not careful because sneaker waves are known to come out of nowhere, hence the word sneaker and even take bolder is back into the ocean. much less you if you have a fur-baby, make sure your fur baby is on a leash because sometimes i speak or waive or even a normal wave can come along and grab your fur baby. and of course, you being a loving parent will rush into the water and it can be very tragic. so make sure your dog is on a leash. and then if you possibly can go higher and higher up the beach, you can see how high the waves are right now. what will make this even possibly worse is the fog. we've seen foggy conditions, which, of course, will cut down on visibility. so you got to be careful about that as well. keep in mind, it looks beautiful, but it could be dangerous, especially if

you're back is to the water. so never have you back against the water. you can come here, try to stay away from the water much as you possibly can and enjoy the sights. by all means to all that you can to avoid those sneaker waves, which of course it's going to last at least for another day. back to you. >> all right. let's see what's happening outside right now. here is a look across the bay bridge. can some blue skies here. pilots here to talk about what's going on in the weather department. first of all, there, some sunshine to really nice welcome sight. after all the fog we have this morning having to say those fog advisories have all expired, including those of you in the north bay. he was hanging on there to let 2 o'clock. this is a live look downtown san francisco. you can see those rays of sunshine making their way in. that means that we're getting some temperatures that are starting to warm up a little bit here, getting a little bit warmer. you can see livermore's up to 60 degrees. san jose 60 to everyone else. >> hanging out in the 50's today. wind is relatively calm. this is going to change and i want to make sure you the heads up about this

because it's going to be a little bit to get through here. what's going on is what's called an inside slider. and you might remember be talking about something like this during our fire seasons. when you get this high and low pressure kind of squeezing together, that creates a wind gradient that drives offshore wind and the big threat with that generally is that it increases fire danger because you've got dry air coming through and we have dry brush, especially the end of our summer, gets really tricky. we're very lucky that we have had rain. so we are not dealing with dry brush, not the case in southern california where this is now put them under a red-flag warning starting tomorrow. now we are fortunate that we do not have a red flag warning. however, we do have the wind advisory. so that does mean that things are going to be drying out. so as you can see, it's all pretty much interior parts of the bay area to north bay sits along the peninsula. it's also in our hills and mountains in the east bay and in the santa clara hills as well. we could see gusts upwards of 45, even 50 miles per hour. so this is going to go into effect tonight and will go through the next about about 48 hours before it's all

said and done. to show you how this plays out as we get into our evening tonight. notice that wind starting to pick up particularly up in the north bay and then it starts to roll through the entire bay area. so by tomorrow morning, gusty everywhere. and it continues as we get throughout our tuesday. so as i mentioned, it's not until wednesday that kind of backs off. this is overnight tuesdoy into wednesday. so it's still going to be going in. and it really is. and until that wednesday we get later morning early afternoon, we start to see a bigger, a bigger improvement there. so just be ready for that. that wind will be coming our way now, as far as temperatures are concerned this week, we've actually got a nice lift. notice that we start to pick it up, particularly on wednesday and thursday, inland temperatures looking to be in the upper 60's. so that will be nice. and we're staying dry the next 7 days. thank you so much. the city of berkeley is encouraging residents to participate in emergency preparedness classes. the 7 class series will cover things like. >> how to respond to emergencies, basic first aid and also putting out fires the free classes start on saturday. and for more

guard and the national marine sanctuary. many others to recover that debris, get the area cleaned up and minimize any further issues. the good news is we're moving all that clean up. things are moving really quickly. and for the equipment that we lost this on the seafloor, we lost a crane and a skid steer. we've located. doesn't the u.s. coast guard have a plan to remove those here in the coming weeks. but the good news is those are not presenting any further issues either to the wharf itself to public safety. we're to the environment and that broadly looking at the wharf, we've got to work master plan that really shapes the vision for the future of the and with the end of that collapsed on december 23rd, a lot of community house will welcome our community and all those who love the work. to be engaged in that conversation and that process as we talk about what's the future of for the end of the work in

particular. but it's a special place. millions of visitors coming to work every year to place that we want to continue to invest in well into the future. so there has to be some thought process into how we make this. >> bigger and better than it was before. also keep it safe and make sure that this doesn't happen again. >> that's right. yeah. public safety is the key. you know, we want to be sure to welcome community members and visitors to the work we bring about 3 million visitors to work every year. again, it's a hub of both our local economy, but are local culture and community as well. so it's 110 year-old structure 111 years old. now. and it's a again, want to see thrive and be sustained well into the future. so we are proud of this place. the good news is the war is safe. we welcome people come to come out and visit, go to a restaurant. do your post holiday shopping at the war? but a special place and we look forward investing in this space well into the future. i'm sure you can

understand, though, some people's hesitations of wanting to come back. >> after seeing what has happened. yeah, i think really be clear, the end of the war that was damaged on december 2030, was under construction. it had been damage from last year's storms. the storms to hit region in late 2023 in early 24. so that area had been closed off for the last year was under construction. it had been weakened pretty significantly from the storms over the past couple years. so while we were under construction, we really got got hit by the biggest u.s. well that our region has seen in the last 30 years. so the combination of being vulnerable at the end of the war from that storm, it really was that that sort of punch in the nose that led to the collapse of the work. but the good news is the remainder of the war, strong stable. it's been reviewed by our structural engineers and confirmed that it's it's a strong as it was. before the

storms on december 23rd. so we feel really confident and hope to the public feels really confident coming out to the work as well as a place that we maintain with a dedicated, dedicated crew year-round, dedicated investment year-round. yeah, folks should feel very comfortable. and look forward to coming back out to the i'm sure they well, this is a tony la with the city of santa cruz. thank you for being with us this afternoon. >> congrats on getting that area open again. and good luck with the repairs. let us know how it goes. i'm good. thank you. >> in sports now it's locker cleanout time for the forty-niners. the team ended the season yesterday with the loss to the arizona cardinals. final score. 24. 47 end the season. 6.11. forty-niners quarterback brock purdy did not play in yesterday's game and he reflected on the season earlier today. think probably the hardest critical myself just in terms of like wanted to play at a high level.

delays and 2 cancellations. and there's this deadly winter storm that's blasting parts of the midwest and the east coast. some cities could see their heaviest snowfall in decades today. 7 states from new jersey, the kansas have declared states of emergency. there are 16 million americans in the path of the storm. tom dempsey has the latest. >> parts of the east coast could see their heaviest snowfall in decades today and it's led to a 7 different states calling states of emergency states like new jersey and kansas doing so with of around 60 million americans living in the path of this storm. but this winter weather has really caused the mess in the midwest, in particular with snow and ice making road conditions almost treacherous at times, bringing lots of different crashes, missouri. emergency crews say at least 600 drivers were stranded over the weekend. and in kentucky, a state trooper was hurt after his patrol car was state leaders urging folks to stay off the roads today.

cross-country skiing here along the national mall. very pretty to look at fun to be outside when you're walking around. but a very dangerous to be out on the roads with of any parts of the east coast dealing with this winter storm in washington, d.c., see. >> happening outside right now. >> broken yet that you're just talking about the story about the snowstorm, wanted to show everybody. if you take a look at the national map, you see all the cold air up in canada. temperatures in the single digits, even -3. if you had far enough north that airs spills down. when you have the jet stream diving to the south, it opens the door to let all of that cold air in. and that's exactly what has happened here. i mean, check it out. 30's in dallas right now. we're at 31 in atlanta, not to mention if you head over to places like wichita, which is that looking at teens. so obviously incredibly cold air in place. now, let's take a look at what's going on here as we look at stormtracker and you can see where that system is that's been dropping all of that snow now starting to work its way out, but still kind of hanging out in parts of the ohio

valley heading over to the northeast. now, the interesting thing about this is if we take a look at where all of those winter storm warnings and you can see the winter weather advisories are around in and around the mid atlantic. that's for right now. but look at what happens when i put this into motion. we see this system work its way offshore, right? so that happens. but then take your eye down south about dallas, texas, and we get into thursday and here comes the next system. cold air rolling right through the south and then heading, you guessed it right up to the mid-atlantic and the northeast once again. so if you doubt that it is january, certainly the weather is showing you that it is. and there's winter storms that we look forward to for those in the eastern half of the country. all right. meanwhile, back in the bay, we're finally getting some sunshine after a very foggy start to the day today. so pretty nice working its way up to partly cloudy day tomorrow will be windy. we do have that wind advisory for a lot of our interior portions and coastal portions of the bay area. and then wednesday,

we are going to have some warm temperatures that sticks with this couple of days and we look like we stay dry for the next about 10 days, at least so on that front, we're doing. okay. back to you. all right. thank you. thieves have targeted and robbed 3 different businesses throughout oakland from saturday night into early sunday morning. no arrests have been made. >> but some of the business owners are blaming teenagers. kron four's joc moment has the story. >> oakland police say this was the first breaking of the night at extra mile store off castro toppers. frustrated sunday afternoon to find the stories mostly closed for the day store employees at this extra mile didn't want to interview with kron 4, but they did. teenagers messed with the atm machine and it needs to be repaired. i faith that the state me, always at the oakland you take the good with the bad when it comes oakland. >> open is a beautiful place with a lot of rich history. and i don't think a lot of people take value in the rich history that is open. this woman says the string of burglaries here in oakland is not shocking but just
