we are live with more on the president's visit to northern california. >> reporter: that meeting between the president and county and state emergency officials in california wrapped up just minutes ago. emergency officials spoke and informed the president of the 20 night significant active wildfires that are currently bring across our state. as we know, those fires have claimed lives, destroyed thousands of homes and have left much of northern california and really a lot of the metro areas across the west coast in a constant cloud of smoke and unhealthy air. it was against this backdrop that the present touchdown in in northern california on air force one. he was at mcclellan park, a former air brace airbase where they landed. he wrapped up that briefing with state and county emergency official. gov. gavin newsom set to the right of the present and the tone between the two leaders was professional and crowded, the reasons be hind the fires are a political flashpoint between the president and some democratic governors and west pick drought -like conditions and dry strikes have fueled the

firefighters took this video from a helicopter over northern california. more than two dozen fires are burning in the state. the crews were called in to rescue injured firefighters. >>> and those wildfires in the west have become a key campaign issue for both president trump and democratic challenger joe biden. natalie brand reports from the white house. >> it's my profound honor to award seven extraordinary soldiers with the distinguished flying cross. >> reporter: president trump traveled to sacramento where he addressed members of the california national guard after receiving a briefing on the devastating wildfires across the region. >> it will start getting cooler. you just watch. >> i wish science agreed with you. >> i don't think science knows, actually. >> reporter: the president has suggested poor forest management for the historic fires along the west coast. during a campaign speech from delaware, joe biden blamed climate change. >> we need a president that respects science, who understands that the damage from climate change is already here. >> r

no matter where you go across northern california, we will see the high risk. as we have seen in the last couple of times we've had red flag warnings on labor day weekend for example, not only challenging us for the active fires but several new fires. we are bracing for what could be a very busy weekend. >> right now we have fires that are burning across california. how many flowers fires are still burning right now? >> today we have 25 wildfires. we have been making progress. this week alone, to fires have been contained. down in san mateo and santa cruz county, that was contained. the near san diego that was contained. and the lightning complex in the north bay and the east bay, we are days away from having full containment on the fires. we are making good progress on the two dozen major ones burning. again, our concern is this weekend the with any spark or open flame it ignites into a wildfire, it has a potential to grow quickly and do a lot of damage. >> you said a moment ago, we still have fires but getting close to getting full containment. could that be

but the same conditions exist in parts of northern california as well lonnie wong explains. >>the creek fire in fresno county is being fueled in part by millions of trees that died during the historic 5 year drought that ended in 2017 killed by bark beetles which attacked water stress trees, there's a lot of needles and branches and wood. >>that is really fueling this fire but there are millions of dead trees in northern california too along with areas of overgrown force that natural fires once kept in check the underlying conditions forest conditions. >>are really similar and that we have a lot of forests that are simply way over ground with the u.s. forest service has been inclined to let remote fires burn to reduce feels. >>the massive north complex fire above oroville as part of a berm the smoldering for weeks in the plumas national forest but federal fire officials say that was an intentional instead they say federal firefighting capability was spread too thinly to get it under control. cutting down dead trees and prescribed burns are used to reduce the spread of wildfi

>>fires in the bay area far northern california and from as far away as oregon are generating these amoky hazy skies and it's been like this for almost almost a month now, and with each additional spare the air day we set a new record, here's what it looks like out there right now you can see all 4 bay area bridges that san mateo bridge looks the hazy us but none are looking all too great and everybody has these apps on their phones. now right a look at the air quality. >>and how it is around the bay area you see it is fairly uniform. this that's updated in real time, it's purple air shows the amount of particulate matter in the air the dark purple. >>represents the worst air that dark red is only slightly better and then the lighter shades or even better, but we don't have that much see a little orange and yellow well near ukiah almost but the bay area pretty red at least we're not purple. like parts of sacramento, all the way up into portland that is really bad right now, but the air we have it's considered dangerous for all sensitive groups and for the general population. if they'r

anybody and also because it is uncertain how much of that smoke in oregon and washington and northern california is going to make its way back toward us but trust me, we have our eyes on it. >>> monday he was prof. o'donnell, tonight he is the good dr. o'donnell, with the latest on the 49ers injuries. dr. >> even ken bastida, roland a 5.0 40, he could play for the 49ers right now, liz. >> all new -- only when chased. >> at least those who could practice today, san francisco looking like a mass unit. the biggest news is richard sherman. they will likely practice this week but shanahan expects him to play on sunday. they will have a very familiar name in the backfield. new york starting lineup. t-rac alexa lee told him he gets a day off tomorrow. tony camp, marcus simeon, trying to go from first heard, he is tied down, it looks like they were going to run them out of the an ink but somehow avoids the tag, gets his hand and there. they broke a one-one time. jake lamb, another hit, five 411. he has quickly made a name for himself with his new teammates. >> we have been given that the bullpen. >> the

it may even bring in some rain across the pacific northwest and may clip far northern california.won't make it into the bay area, but we could see enough of that fog and deep marine layer to actually give us some drizzle for some of our coastal communities. it's looking good in the forecast. we have to make it through the weekend into early next week. and our temperatures once again have been much cooler. we will gradually warm up once we see the shift in our wind direction and hopefully some improved air quality by early next week and our san francisco temperatures will stay in the 60s but a lot of fog there near the coast that will remain into at least next thursday. and as we head over to you, mike, how is it looking for the early morning drivers? >>> kari, you mentioned the fog along the coast. that's what's over my shoulder, the yellow highlighting dominates a lot of the portion for our maps. take a look and show you what we're talking about. the yellow is highlighting where there's fog or lower visibility along highway 101 and 92 -- not 92, 580 across over to 92 as you're lo

this comes ahead of a trip to northern california next week for an update on the devastating wildfires. president trump hit several familiar themes, including the economy, law and order, and complaints of unfair media coverage. he also spent a fair amount of ic presidential candidate joe biden. mr. trump accused biden of having an extreme left-wing agenda when it comes to everything from policing to green energy. >> california has already implemented this extreme agenda, and they are experiencing massive blackouts. you know that, california. they like wind. they like wind. oh, darling, let's watch television. i'm sorry, darling, the wind. the wind isn't blowing tonight. we can't watch television. >> of course the recent power shutoffs were due to the dangerous fire conditions, not a lack of energy because of reliance on wind power. on monday, the president is due to travel just outside sacramento for a briefing on the state's wildfires. back in 2018, a similar visit as the president toured the destruction from the camp fire in paradise. mr. trump has been criticized for not publicly re

the fire is the biggest threat to public safety in northern california. as we know, additional teams arrived last night both in the sonoma, as well as the napa side of this fire. the state continues to be in direct coordination with both the city of santa rosa, as well as the county of sonoma. i want to say how grateful we are to the mayor and his incredible team with the city for all their work. the state will insure that all needs are met, not just short term, but whatever needs are going to be met, need to be met, sheltering indoor and long term with debris clean-up . senator dodd and i assure you we are squeezing every resource out of the mutual aid system. that is our top priority working with cal fire. we are grateful for their hard work. i want to remind folks, we have significant fires across the state. one continues to burn north of us with the august complex fire where we saw significant structure loss in both humboldt and trinity counties last night around ruth lake. as difficult as last night was, as the chief says, firefighters save much more

>>coming down from the fires in far northern california still nice uh day out there right now but things are going to start shift gears. we have that nice fresh here the last couple days just looking spectacular lots of green around the bay area just the way we like it even pushing in the parts of the valleys too so that's looking at some greater quality right now, but things are about to change a bit we're seeing those fires in northern california. we watch high pressure building in behind the low that's moving through right now and all of a sudden that ridge builds and you start to get more of a northerly component the winds and all the smoke that generated those fire starts to work its way back in the bay area now this does not look like an event like we've just had where we had that really poor air quality all the way to the coastline, this looks like we'll see month parts of the east bay get a little hazy parts also the north as well. not seeing that purple on the maps in the forecast in other words, not a very unhealthy air. but certainly there will be times when you may see some p

you can see the rain is pushing in on high def doppler for northern california. it is over the oregon/california border and through crescent city and eureka. it is because of the tail end of the system that is bringing all this rain to the pacific northwest. they have massive wild fires are burning and working at washington state, so that is helping firefighters in the pacific northwest and also looking at rainfall, pushing across parts of the foothills, sierra nevada, as well as for the fresno area and that is because of remnants from what was a tropical system. so it is providing summer rain for parts of the sierra nevada he is a look at our treasure island camera as we look to the bay area forecast. we are looking at foggy conditions and patchy drizzle you're catching that onshore flow, so that sea breeze is the reason why we are starting off our day on the gray side but also clean and fresh air that we all enjoy after all of that smoke over the last several weeks. we are looking at temperatures in the mid-50s to low to mid 60s and we are looking at good air qu

some of that may try to get a little bit closer to northern california. later this week we'll explain that and how it could impact things in terms of wind, and our temperatures and air qualities for the week. we'll have a look at that in the forecast coming up in about 12 minutes from now. back to you. >> thank you, rob. >>> following up on that breaking news we told you about last night at 11:00, two l.a. county sheriff's deputies are out of surgery and expected to survive after a gunman ambushed them while they were sitting in their patrol car. we do want to warn you that some of the images you're about to see may be disturbing. this surveillance video shows the sole gunman opening fire while the deputies were watching a train station in compton. the shooter running away, and at this point has not been found. community leaders are urging calm. >> my heart is heavy when there is senseless violence like this. my heart is heavy. so we need peace. >> the deputies are 31-year-old female and 24-year-old male both sworn in 14 months ago. there is a $100,000 re

>>a product of smoke from both the north complex and the august complex burning across northern california. so this morning, hazy skies do remain as does higher fire danger. well like we saw yesterday as well so as you're getting outside there are a couple of concerns first of all air quality obviously going to have an impact there. we are seeing it pour conditions on the peninsula east bay up into the north bay, south bay has some of our better of conditions still moderate those the nowhere near perfect and this will be shifting pretty regularly through the morning, so we'll keep you updated on that as make our way through the course here wednesday. winds are definitely not as much of a problem as they were last night having calm down and out was peak in vacaville, but we still do have enough winds to spark up concern, especially for north bay neighbors, as humidity is low in this area and we do look at breezy conditions, especially in the upper elevations, 4 east bay hills such as upper elevations in contra costa and alameda counties. we still are under red flag warnings all the way thrg

boy, yeah, those northern california fires, especially that bear fire, have rule really created an airemma for us down here. you can see basic lip the entire state of california, off the way down to southern california getting hit pretty hard with smoke and the bad air quality. so as we go into the next couple of days, we're going to continue to see smoke. we should see a bit of a break as we go into the -- tomorrow and beyond, but i have to say that, you know, the sky we saw today, it's going to tight again tomorrow, but shouldn't be as bad, just because we have a bit of a wind shift. these are the highs from today. that's the story that got buried, because temperatures are down 30, 40 degrees from where they were yesterday and the day before at this time. so really have had a huge cooldown, and that's good. firefighters are getting a handle on fires. but that bear fire, which was caused by those red flag warnings in paradise and oroville area, they had wind gusts up there 35, 40 miles an hour yesterday, and that really helped to explode that fire. that is where most of the smoke is c

because when it is peak wildfire season, northern california gets diablo winds. alifornia gets santa ana winds, the santa barbara area gets sun downer winds. they're primed to fuel these fires already burning and make them much worse. it was 45-mile-an-hour winds that have poured that devastating wildfire up in northern california. the bear fire, responsible for those ten deaths. there are still 16 people missing in that fire. that fire is just one of six of the biggest, largest fires in california history. 1 of 30 of the major fires that are burning in northern california. central california, southern california. many of these fires are still burning out of control at zero percent containment. many of them are burning in areas that continue to threaten homes with thousands of people evacuated. so if the question is, can this get much worse? officials say expect it to in the next coming weeks and months. stephanie? >> steve, we keep saying that this is a once in a generation fire. these fires are unprecedented. but two years ago today, you -- or two years ago, you

i am here -- he's going to be in northern california. i'm at the bobcat fire in southern california. we're standing in a canyon, between where helicopters are going to load up on water and where they're going to drop it off on the hills up there. they're trying to stop those flames from flairing yo flairing up. there's a helicopter circling the mountain, doing those water drops. according to a white house spokesperson, the president is expected to visit sacramento county in northern california, where he will be briefed by federal, state and local fire officials. the president approved a major disaster declaration for the golden state on august 14th. while firefighters are slowly starting to catch a bit of a break with the weather, the damage from the fires is devastating. so far this fire season, more than 6,000 homes and structures have been damaged or destroyed and at least 19 people killed in california alone. yesterday, gavin newsom toured some of the damage in northern california. he says that climate change is taking its toll, with

it looks like this weekend we'll get a storm system near northern california. that would help. we also have a second chance next week with the possibility of maybe some northern california rain. we'll talk more about the air quality in about nine minutes and we'll about it over some of those rain chanc tno come. we'll see you all real soon. >> rain would be good. all right, thank you, jeff. >>> up next, ten years later. what we learned from the san bruno pipeline explosion. janelle rejoins us and speaks one on one with the city's former mayor. we saw the cloud of smoke and my heart fell. i knew we'd lose our home... and we did. over 24,000 homes have been destroyed by wildfires in the past few years. wildfire victims need help so i'm voting 'yes' on 19. it limits property taxes on wildfire victims so families can move to a replacement home without a tax penalty. you never know what you'll be faced with. please, vote 'yes' on 19. your shoulder seems to be healing nicely. well, dr. farrell, it feels really good... that's good. and... i'm sorry. baby, don't touch that... i don't w

in our focus close to home, i don't want to overlook what happened northern california today. take a look at the big picture here, you see many others. the glass fire is the smallest one. that is the august complex. you can see the white dots there, there are so many labels to keep track of. this was north of the sacramento valley. this is a classic example of what offshore wind can do. we've got intense warmth through much of august, and the intense dryness. and all of those things add up, all adding up to a fairly run-of-the-mill offshore wind event. we have to think about air quality concerns, there is a caveat to this, when you forecast for smoke, you have to have accurate fire information. these fires are taking a fast and behave erratically. it is hard to track these with the model. but the streamlined over the next 24 hours will drive it our way. even without the glass fire, the north complex picking up today, we are going to be pulling in more smoke from the creek fire. we have seen the air quality sensors today. we've seen hazy conditions. it looks bad. we played this
