somerville. and i'm julie haener. we have team coverage on the fire danger: we begin with ken pritchett live now in fairfield where a fire advanced in homes amidst bone dry conditions, ken. >> reporter: this was a relatively small fire just 15 acres. but it posed a significant risk. it raced down off of that hill which you might be able to make up down here behind me. went down that hill quickly right in the direction of these homes and stopped just short of the backyards of these homes. small but potentially dangerous fire. perhaps an indicators of things to come as we enter a fourth year of a drought. residents in castle ridge saw

this. shot by 14-year-old jason hulett. >> i saw them just barreling down. >> reporter: several homes were damaged by this fire. >> the mower struck a rock, created some sparks and started the fire. >> reporter: another fire by old orchard. in the open space behind these homes the grass is tall but right next to the homes it was just an inch tall, cleared for defensible space. >> i could tell from my backyard where they had cleared some brush that it was problem within a stop there. so i felt pretty confident my house wasn't going to burn down. >> reporter: no homes were damaged only one neighbor's

fence because the brush had been cleared. a fire that left behind a blackened hill and grateful neighbors for a swift response by firefighters. >> excellent, excellent. i thought i was going to have to move. like i said. >> reporter: the deputy fire chief says this was not an ideal day or ideal conditions to be removing brush. and that's what the fire chief says the contractor was doing which sparked this fire. the reasons for that of course is that it was a very hot day with significant breeze. >> causing some tense moments out there, den, -- ken, thank you. now to our chief meteorologist bill martin with the fire concerns. >> we have a fire burning at south lake tahoe area near markleyville. conditions right for fires. we have air pushing into the bay and even in the inland bay

valleys. as we go into tomorrow and more specifically thursday. this high pressure wants to build in. as it does it's not necessarily a big offshore flow. it's going to run it right up here right to the center valley and it's going to start to bleed into our inland bay valley. temperatures on thursday easily that will really increase the fire danger. you have drought, you have temperatures in the triple digits. it's game on for fire. when we come back we're going to talk about the chances for more heat as we head into the weekend. firefighters are fighting a fire in alpine county. the fire has now burned well over 16,000 acres. so far there's no cob tapement. some 500 firefighters are on the lines trying to get ahead of the fire. their biggest concern is

water build up and ports. the decks would have to be inspected immediately and then five years after that. san francisco already has a five year inspection rule. >> reporter: san francisco is the only municipality in the state with those deck and balcony requirements but still some go unexamined. that was the case at one san francisco house where a railing suddenly collapsed. >> reporter: the second story deck at liney hamilton's home offers a stunning view of a sun baked san francisco. it was this view that led to a near tragedy when a group of friends gathered to take a picture. >> the railing gave way. i was turning hearing a crunching sound. i turned to my left and i saw two of my friends spilling over the edge of the rail. >> reporter: falling 30 feet on

to the concrete below. the cause of the railing collapse was immediately visible. >> it was completely rotted out. i could go to the boards and they just crumbled in my hands. >> reporter: san francisco city inspectors agreed and ordered repairs. >> we encourage the homeowner to do the right thing. >> reporter: tom huey is the department of homeowners director, he calls for homeowners to check for dry rot. something the inspector found at this unit. the fungus that breaks down wood and making it brittle was spotted on a staircase and deck post. repairs are now on the way. the incident is refocusing attention on the damage. >> i think it's important. >> reporter: all of hamilton's friends survived that january incident. but frank they suffered serious injuries that they're still recovering from to this day. while those inspections here in

san francisco must be done bay professional, one way to check yourself is with a pen. you stick the area and if the pen sticks through, you know it's decaying. >> that pen test, good to know. there's questions about the integrity of rods. tiny new cracks were found on some of the rods. those cracks could spell trouble for the hundreds of rods that secure the bridges tower to its base. caltrans chief engineer bryan rooney said today many of the rods have been exposed to saltwater and that makes them vulnerable to failure. the rods could be repaired or modified but replacing them would be costly. in san jose the polls have closed for a special election. manh nguyen has a big lead

stopped making the confederate flag. and in mississippi the republican speaker of the house called the flag offensive and issued a call to take it off the state flag. north of the city in robert e. lee park people debated whether the statute should stay. >> i think it's fine because it's part of my heritage. >> i think that it's definitely a time for us as a country to reevaluate our monument. >> reporter: in washington, d.c., the many confederate statutes that reside in the capital building now under new scrutiny. senate minority leader says moving one or more is something to think about. senator graham disagrees saying that going back to rewrite who we are at a country is difficult at best but that the confederate flag is a good place to start consensus. it's a hot day on the track at sonoma raceway. we'll take you to a wild ride
