good morning to you, kris. we're seeing a lot of beachgoers here in pacifica take advantage of it, but those beaches will be closed starting tomorrow. they already have signs up telling folks that the beaches and parking lots will be closed effective sunrise saturday until sunrise tuesday. it says, wear a mask, avoid crowds. and the point of this is to stop the spread. but these aren't the only beaches in the bay area that are putting these measures in place to hopefully stop the spread of the coronavirus with those large gatherings. we sow in santa cruz county they are closing down beaches starting tomorrow. and that'll last through monday. but they will open from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on saturday and sunday. we're seeing monterey county also close its beaches. they will start tonight and end on monday. and point reyes in marin county will be closed, but that is due to the woodward fire. health officials are cautioning against these large gatherings this labor day weekend. so much of this transmission has tak

kris? >> reporter: yes. the wind is whipping that bear fire near oroville so hard, so fast some evacuees had to drive through flames just to get out. >> i thought i was going to die if not the fire then the smoke inhalation. it was so fast it sounded like a jet plane. >> reporter: homes destroyed north of oroville and look at the evacuation route. the wind pushing flames up the hillside near the bidwell bridge point. fire spreading unchecked along highway 162. you'll see cal fire firefighters working that fire. in a time lapse we took from a pg&e camera you can see how fast that fire grew over just 12 hours' time. kari is tracking wind that will not give a break today. >> reporter: i'm kre aircierra . a little bit of good news. pg&e saying they will begin the inspection of de-energized lines. there is a caveat. if it's too smoky it would be too dangerous for the choppers to go up. pg&e wanting people to know there could be a delay in restoration because of that. also if they are able to go up and find there'

kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> all right, striking video there. thank you very much, kris. for some san francisco businesses, it felt like today would never arrive during this pandemic. many more closed businesses will be allowed to reopen. of course with a limited capacity like we have seen. so here is a quick look at the indoor changes that we're seeing. hair salons, barber shops, nail salons, gyms and massage services as well as hotels, churches. but one person inside at a time and outdoor family entertainment like mini golf, batting cages and go carts. >>> even more restrictions are easing in alameda county. it will begin permitting additional car-based gatherings such as movie showings or live musical and theatrical performances. typically we've seen a lot of graduation ceremonies and religious gatherings but now it's expanding under the new order. the number of cars allowed will increase from 200 to 400 and you'll be able to preorder food for pickup at the event. >>> a huge drop-off in tolls mean possible layoffs. some 240 employees have been warned that about 30% of

kris? >> reporter: well, hi there, marcus. we're here at the downtown farmers' market at san pedro square. there are some people who are milling out about here. but it's definitely under those dark gray skies that we should probably get used to for the next couple of days. for a lot of downtown restaurants, serving people outside has been a lifeline during the pandemic. but today air quality at ground level is the worst we've seen during what is a nearly month-long run of spare the air days. for folks with furry friends though, staying in is not an option so getting in early is a must. >> i can see it. i don't really smell the smoke. a little bit or maybe i'm just getting used to it. >> but i definitely see the difference. but i know it's nowhere close to where it needs to be. >> reporter: he said he was going to walk his dog and then hurry on home and stay inside for the rest of the day. we also checked out campbell park and found people trying to get in a sweat session before the air quality worsens as the day goes october b

nbc bay area's kris sanchez is cracking this for us. kris. >> hi, marcus. one of those three people found dead in their car clearly trying to escape those flames but the fire just moved way too fast once those winds started kicking up. the bear fire is part of the greater north complex, a quarter million acres big. down to 23% containment this morning from 51%, and that's because of the winds. the u.s. forest service calling the fire behavior unprecedented. more than 1300 fire personnel are now working on this fire. the fire was sparked by lightning back on august 17th. it has been burning mostly in the forest every since. one supervisor is now blaming the forest service for not getting the fire under control sooner. bill connolelconnelly told sacr bee, they let this fire smolder for weeks. they could have put it out. we're paying the price. a spokesmen said they asked for more resources. if you look at the map on your screen, it is clear why resources are stretched so very thin. these are all the fires burning in the u.s. rit now. now, i reached out to the

nbc bay area's kris sanchez is tracking that trip. kris? >> reporter: well, hi there, marcus. we expect that kamala harris is going to talk about climate change. just yesterday she said to reporters we cannot afford with governor newsom and fire officials near the creek fire where hundreds of people were trapped by flames and ultimately had to be national guard. visit met with president trump where cal fire launches its biggest fire fighting aircraft. in california 57% of forests are owned by the federal government. newsom urged the president to reconsider his position on climate change, which based on this exchange you're about to see with the state's natural resources secretary, he won't, and biden pointed to the consequences. >> it'll start getting cooler. you just watch. >> i wish science agreed with you. >> i don't think science knows actually. >> literally on fire, and he blames the people whose homes and communities are burning. he says, quote, you got to clean your floors, you got to clean your forest. >> reporter: harris is going to be with governor gavin newsom. she'

what do you know about it, kris? >> reporter: it's very close to san jose state, but it's also just a regular neighborhood here. we do know that police are still here on the scene at south eighth and reed street not far from campus. we are also waiting for the coroner at this point. it was about 10:00 last night when officers arrived in the neighborhood to find those five gunshot victims, two people died here at the scene. three others are now at an area hospital. we don't know how they're doing at this point this morning. one witness tells us people were gathered around the street side memorial when the shooting happened. another witness told us there was another shooting before this one. >>> i heard five shots go off, a bunch of screaming. a couple cars and i told my wife to shut the lights off and close the doors. she said she heard shots earlier. >> reporter: sfpd has not confirmed the earlier shooting at this point but they say in regards to this shooting they don't have a suspect or a motive just yet. this stre

"today in the bay's" kris sanchez is following a look at his agenda. kris? >> reporter: hi there, laura and marcus. the president will visit the cal fire emergency operation center near sacramento today, and he's take wildfires until this past weekend, three weeks since they critics trump did approve a major disaster declaration back on august 14th. he will arrive in california fresh off an indoor campaign rally in nevada that scott mcgrew has been telling you about, and that is stoking coronavirus concerns. the president has previously said that wildfire risk is largely related to forest management, but today democratic presidential nominee joe biden is expected to point to climate change as the overriding factor today. his running mate, kamala harris, talking with nbc bay area's raj mathai, will visit the creek fire zone in fresno. you'll remember that is the wildfire that trapped so many families who were camping, and they required military rescue. we are covering all of this for you and will have the latest at 11:00 during our midday news. >> thank you,

"today in the bay" kris sanchez joins us live from san jose. we know san jose's largest school district is keeping students home. they just made this big announcement. >> yeah, they just made this announcement last night and sent out a note to parents and made that phone call. but a lot of parents say that with the county potentially getting the green light to move to more in-person instruction within the week's time by the state's criteria that this is a decision that is premature. now, in a letter the superintendent pointed to higher case counts than they were in march when schools closed. more community spread and need for more testing and contact tracing. the district of about 30,000 students also surveyed parents, teachers and staff and found that 60% expressed a desire for more consistency for the semester. so, instead of returning to campus after the fall break in october, students will remain at home through december. now in a statement, superintendent nancy albaban said while we believe in-person in-personstruction is the best option f

kris mentioned this rescue. incredibly dramatic. >> reporter: correct, scott and kris. we know 50 people were trapped by the creek fire. we know that 13 have been rescued and we're trying to confirm a report that another 11 have been airlifted out by the air army national guard out of fresno. this is video that came in about 45 minutes ago. this is video of the 13 people that we know rescued, airlifted from china peak back to the airport in fresno. other people have been trapped, the vermilion valley resort at lake edison. the army national guard earlier this morning were saying they weren't going to be able to do these rescues until after sunrise. they tried last night but too smoky and too dangerous and thought it might not be for several hours. the conditions improved and they sent out three choppers to four different locations. again, 13 people rescued, possibly another 11 as well. both from locations within the sierra national for e. one evacuee had been camping since friday and tried to get out with four other people. they could only get as far as china peak where

"today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live for us with more on that. kris?reporter: we're here at san pedro square. it's still unclear whether or not it's going to make any business sense to take customers outside on a day that everybody is supposed to be staying inside. looking at this map from the epa jumping in the car to drive to better air will not be an option today unless you want to drive all the way to nevada. we are just blanketed. this is a record breaking stretch of bad air quality, the 25th straight spare the air day, the most since they were created. the n95 mask but, know this, n9s are not approved for children because it can affect their breathing so keep the kids indoors. in san francisco it was a quiet night. some restaurant owners on the usually vibrant valencia street told workers to just stay home. >> but i need them to be healthy and the morale, who wants to come to work like this? no one does. it's very stressful on top of a pandemic. >> reporter: they will decide by noon today whether they will just close the street or close the doors

"today in the bay's" bob redell live in dublin. the governor signed legislation overnight. what's that about? >> reporter: right, good morning to you, marcus. the governor signed this new legislation into law just before midnight, before the end of the legislative session. this will provide protection for renters here in california, protection from eviction during the pandemic. assembly bill gives renters who have lost income because of the covid-19 pandemic extra time to pay their rent. under this law landlords cannot evict before february 1st of next year if the renter was not able

i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm kris sanchez in for marcus washington. as we talk about the businesses taking their businesses outdoors, vianey, i could not imagine getting a haircut outside this weekend. >>> definitely not. we are talking double digit heat. with the fires burning around us, the air quality is poor and now we're talking gusty winds and that high pressure will take over. the bubble of dry air will mix with the low clouds and we're in the 50s now. today, though, enjoy it. the 80s will feel cool. i'll have more details. mike? >>> a live look, things should be greatly improved. the taillights jammed up at the coliseum. the map shows you things are getting better for the speeds. the crash cleared at pinole valley road. >>> power problems could be coming this holiday weekend. bay by's roz plater is live. that's a potentially really difficult combination of factors. we got off easy last time. we may not this time. >> reporter: at least they're putting an alert out. they're hoping not to have those rolling outages unless there's a problem with e

kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> very good points made there, kris. thanks so much. >>> so it is a little deceptive because it feels like every once in a while you get a window of opportunity to go outside but, kari, should we really just stay in? >>> absolutely, especially today. take a look at the numbers we're seeing this morning. the worst we've had so far this week because the winds have calmed down, the smoke is settling down and it's being also pulled down to the ground by a lot of fog we're seeing this morning. so we're seeing purple air. it's the really unhealthy air quality for everyone especially for san francisco, oakland, fairfield, san rafael, much of the north bay. it's also really bad in the east bay and even, right now, down to the south county where we usually at this point have had some pretty good air quality. so really concerning at this point and something we'll be watching throughout the weekend. it does look like there will be something in the forecast that could change the wind and possibly improve our air quality. we'll talk

. >> and i'm kris sanchez. good morning to you, mike. welcome back. kari, you have been a very busy lady. so many different weather stories coming in. >>> right, we've had the heat, the poor air quality, and now the fire danger. we're starting out this morning with some cooler temperatures. yesterday at this point we were in the progress here. but take a look at these wind speeds around fairfield we are already seeing gusts at 30 miles an hour and the high winds will be the issue as we go into today as our temperatures once again stay pretty hot reaching into the 90s and up to 103 degrees today. i'll continue to monitor this and we'll talk about the fire danger as well. mike, you've been watching the roads. how is it looking? >>> it's looking great right now, kari. things are moving smoothly on the freeways despite a crash. we'll take you out. green sensors and the crash approaching the benicia breaks affects industrial, the off ramp, but not the freeway heading to 780 and the bridge itself. a live look at the palo alto shows you the span through 101
