areas of yellow and orange across the la metro area down to san diego, even are in that exceptional fire risk. the offshore winds are keeping smoke pushed way out offshore. so we don't have really any impact from that, especially here locally temps today in the 60's for your daytime highs in both san francisco, the coast well as the rest of the bay. very mild forecast all over again, not as warm as we were over the weekend and a little bit windier. so maybe not quite as picture perfect as the weekend was for so many parts of the bay area. of course, the sunshine, the 60's, our very pleasant. but we all noticed so much how much we need those winter rains to kick back into gear, especially for socal. and this forecast is just not offering that to us. we stay consistently dry all the way into next weekend and likely beyond that slightly cooler. come next weekend. back to you. >> thanks a lot of let's continue our coverage now in southern california on the fires. there are growing calls

now for incarcerated fire crews who are working in la county to make more money right now they make about $10 a day. plus a dollar for every hour. they respond to a fire and inmate with the lowest skill level. then could make almost $27 a day. at the same time, though, cal fire pays not incarcerated. seasonal firefighters, a minimum base salary of nearly $3700 a month for the same amount of work. the ceo of the and erie citizen coalition says that the program offers more than money, though, because inmates can have today's taken off their sentence for every day they serve on a fire crew. >> well, los angeles county medical examiner, as we've reported throughout the morning, has now confirmed. 24 people have died as a result of those wildfires in la county. and that number is expected to rise as they're able to get into more of the damage neighborhoods. in the meantime, politicians >> are pointing the finger has to who's to blame for the

before president elect donald trump is due to take office. trump wrote online california governor gavin newsom should resign. adding this is all his fault. there is a serious lack of competent governance in california. incoming vice president jd vance and republicans blamed california democrats for the destruction, policies of the liberal administration out there, i believe have made these fires worse. i suspect that there will be strings attached to money that is ultimately approved. responded on nbc's meet the press responding to donald trump's insults. >> we would spend another month. i'm very familiar newsom says he's invitld president elect trump to california to see the devastation for himself. >> he says so far the president elect has not agreed to a visit in washington. i'm today some lot back to you. >> 10 22 right now. and coming up on the kron 4 morning news. how sugary drinks and you might not even realize it might not even realize it coul

when we moved to the states, i kind of had no cultural identity. and i just immersed myself in the music. smoking was sort of synonymous with being cool. that is just not a life i want to show my daughter. i don't want her to ever be controlled the way that i was. but she's not interested. she doesn't associate smoking with being cool. californians are beating big tobacco. you can too.

diabetes. and 1.2 million new cases of heart disease were linked to sugary beverages. they also report a staggering 340,000 deaths worldwide. >> that very same year all associated with those diseases sugary drink is anything that's has added sugar and at least 50 calories per 8 ounce serving. sara, regular sodas, free beverages, energy drinks, coffee drinks that you have with sugar in it. those are all those all qualifying really sneak up on you because they say that. >> liquid sugar is quickly absorbed and that causes a rapid spike in blood glucose. then your body is bombarded by insulin surges and that can lead to inflammation high cholesterol and elevated blood pressure. and these are all major contributors to diabetes and heart problems. and then when it comes to who's most impacted, researchers found that in many regions, young men with higher levels of education and urban areas are most likely to seek treatment for these diseases, possibly

because they have more access to these beverages and the means to buy them. and because it is a drink, you know, you're thinking i'm not ingesting and my meal or my snack. it just drink in a way that's to its sugar yet. so what they say is keep things in moderation. so it's meant to the rule not want today. once a doctors recommend recommend drinking other things like water and and sweetened teas and healthier options throughout the rest of the week. time now is 10. 26. and still ahead on the kron 4 morning news. >> area social media influencers are hosting a influencers are hosting a donation drive to okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals,

strong today. we've already seen 50 mile per hour gusts regularly a 30 to even 40 mile per hour range. and that remains through the evening tonight. thus, these high wind advisories in the north bay continue through 10:00am tomorrow. wouldn't be surprised to see a few more of these advisories popping up similar aspects to the set up is what we had last week. a few key differences, though, regardless this offshore wind is present, not just for us in the bay, but also for southern california. and with that critical fire danger does remain. we've seen our rains. they have not everything is still very dry. and obviously the impact of that paired with the strong winds has been absolutely devastating. the smoke is still being pushed offshore. so we have virtually no impact in the bay area from it all that smoke sent well out into the pacific ocean. so far. now temperatures we are in the 60's for san francisco, the coast in the rest of the bay area this afternoon. super pleasant field. but we did have the winds back into the picture. so this weekend was kind of picture perfect.

today. you won't be able to avoid those winds, especially not in higher elevations. san jose and santa clara. 66 for your highs. east bay temps pretty solid 60's too, with oakland at 62 degrees today. conquered 63. same in sonoma and napa. now looking ahead, we remain steady temperatures through thursday. winds will calm down after tomorrow. but good news there, unfortunately, staying dry, though, we need winter rains to get back up. but that high pressure ridge is simply just stuck act. now we should. we need the rain and the la needs the rain for sure. they continue to fight fires down there. >> and there are some a fire firefighters who are actually being hired privately. they are. firms, wealthy individuals, insurance companies, the all contract with their own firefighting personnel that ryan. >> safe property just to offer an extra line of defense. if anything news nation's ryan bass has more. when millionaire real estate investor keith wasserman put out a call on social media for

someone to connect him. >> with a private firefighting from it sent the social media platform x into a complete firestorm. but it's not as uncommon as you think. and it's not just celebrities that are hiring these private firefighting teams. in fact, the national wildfire suppression association, which represents more than 300 private firefighting groups, says that just under half of the resources across the country are provided by private fire services. but those for-hire firefighters make up just a small fraction of the nonpublic firefighters that are out there and they cost a pretty penny some charging north of $2000 per hour. now, the key thing to note here is they bring their own water and they don't take away from the resources used by public firefighters. they're tasked with battling these blazes there typically armed with their own hoses, their own fire blocking gel and supplies. now they may coordinate with public fire departments, but they're generally pretty self-sufficient. we spoke with cal fire who said these for hire contractors are on the front lines and they don't get in the way of their critical work.

>> of course, you know, corporations are welcome to the higher firefighters to protect their facilities where property or if it's a a series stands, are polls or private. homeowner wants to have the insurance company hired them. course. we're not going to stop we cannot and will not delegate to part firefighters. the operations that we need to have complex coordination with private firefighting actually been around for about half a century. so it's not something new here. and by the way, california passed a law in 2018 to regulate. >> these private firefighting teams to make sure that they operate safely and don't interfere with any public operations. that wasn't just rich people, hiring them, actually no 10 to 20% of those that are private. firefighting teams are hired by the super wealthy. but they're typically in majority are contractors hired by insurance companies to protect their policy holders, homes. and then you've got industrial

corporation, something things like oil, gas vineyards that hire some of these private teams to come in here and not just safeguard their properties but also mitigate any fire risk that could pop up. >> so many homes have been burned and people had to leave with a clothes on their back. and in some cases, they left their pets behind in a lot of those animals are going to need somewhere to go. and the san francisco spca is preparing to be able to help by creating space 4 rescued pets and they're waiving the adoption fees for their puppies. and they have plenty of cats as well so that they can do that. all of the animals are spayed and neutered and microchipped and vaccinated. if you are interested, contact them. meantime, the san francisco spca today they have representatives headed to southern california and they're gonna make another trip next week. if you're interested on helping you can visit the sf spca dot org website. >> all right. in other news today in the north bay, the sonoma county board of
