a river of lava is now within yards of a home on the big island of hawaii. sal castanedo joins united states from the newsroom to let us know what residents are doing about this slow motion disaster. good afternoon, sal. >> reporter: tori, good afternoon. the volcano has been erupting since 1983 but this year, the lava has taken an unexpected path. we just found out it's been yards of a home near the town of pahoa. and that entire town is now in jeopardy. just more than 30 years ago, lava from the volcano began flowing south, eventually reaching the sea. it's been a tourist attraction but now a new flow is threatening to consume an entire town. in june, lava started to flow northeast. now the town of pahoa is in the path. most people of the town have evacuated. authorities are asking for federal aid and trying to keep up to residents informed. >> as it gets closer, the key

is communication, keeping people informed and everybody continue to work around the clock. >> reporter: some of the work includes building temporary roads, strengthening power poles and making sure the internet doesn't go down. the 2,000-degree river of lava is leaving a trail of gray and putting off a lot of smoke. the smoke itself has been a hazard for those with breathing problems. >> i have asthma myself and the smoke companies will be -- conditions will be hard on some people. >> a lot of people who live in this community say they are not going anywhere. they plan to rebuild once they know for sure where the lava will end up. there's no way to stop the lava as it moves around. they will just have to wait to find out where it's going and rebuild after that. >> thank you. some bay area restaurants are taking tips off the table. instead, diners will notice a new charge on their bills.

five restaurants will be adding a 20% service charge no matter how large the party. the service charge will be divided evenly and paid to the staff. the restaurants say the idea is to close a widening income gap between servers and people who work in the kitchen. some people we spoke to today tell us they are okay with the charge. but others say it eliminates incentive for good service. >> the waiters wait on the tables deserve the tip. >> i wouldn't like that at all? >> reporter: how come? >> because if the service is poor, you don't feel like you have to pay that much. oakland mayoral candidate libby schaaf is picking up a big endorsement today. barbara boxer announced she's backing her. earlier, she received jerry

company bags filled with $100 bills. the sergeant says she immediately reported it and turned the money in. >> i have a lot of friends that have said what are you thinking? why did you turn that in? i would take that home. >> the money has been returned to its rightful owner. the chp sergeant did not want to be identified because she said the story is not about her. today, hundreds of firefighters are making their way up the peninsula as part of the annual relay to support the alyssa ann rush foundation. rosemary orozco is in foster city with more on event and details on the bay area forecast. >> reporter: good afternoon. we're in foster city where it's a beautiful day. fire station 28, look who is behind me. we have several firefighters. good job out there today. they've been moving up along the peninsula. it is a fund-raising event. it is four burn sur survivors.
