brian webb is at the scene with the latest. >> reporter: from our vantage point things look better than an hour ago. still new puffs of black smoke kicking up every now and then. we are up to 400 acres burned and still at 10% containment on the east side of mount diablo. there is an evacuation order for homes on oakville lane. 50 to 75 homes, a mandatory evacuation on them. they are telling them grab what you can, lock up the house and leave now. if you need help call 911. they are supposed to go to the clayton library. we know a lot of people have been loading up the pets and the horses and taking them into a safe place down the road from where we are. and, up on mount diablo itself stkoz ens of fire trucks taking hundreds of firefighters up on the fire lines. those helicopters and airplanes have been circling from above all afternoon. showering the fire with retardant, trying to stop the flames in their tracks.

>> the fire started right here with, you know, with a lot of wood, a lot of potential, more rapid spread because of the slope. if it was on this side it would not be as bad because not as many trees but this is, this is the northside of the peak here and it is steep. so it is going to roar up there if it has the potential. >> right,. >> reporter: and a thick blanket of brown smoke covering the area. and, tonight, we still don't know what started the fire, fire views have bigger problems on their hands putting out the fire. but after this we will try to get as close as we can up on mount diablo. we will have other reports tonight at 10:00 and 11:00 thank you very much. and brian is here to tell us about the weather conditions. >> you know, we can get off shore flows, calming the winds out of the east.

not the situation today the winds are out of the west or northwest. a dry direction. and actually it is a moist direction, thester hes are dry and the northerlies are not nearly as dry. these are good -- the easterlies are dry and the northerlies are not nearly as dry. these are good conditions. all of the other conditions are on the good side. including this one. high pressure over the west coast, giving us record temperatures, it now weakens, shifts to the east and that opens the door to cooler temperatures. in fact, cooler by 15 degrees. the westerly winds, the winds not dry and not that strong all good news for firefighters. we will have the forecast with more good news coming up. another major fire in the bay area. this one in sonoma county. it started as a brush fire and then moved to a factory. it started around the same time

on mount diablo. we have new information on what happened, linda? >> well, the good news is the firefighters say they now have it fully contained or should be fully contained in the next couple of minutes. 180 firefighters from a dozen jurisdictions all over sonoma county battle the blaze at about 40 acres. most of it was commercial storage land. now, what started out as a grass fire is a ditch fire. quickly spread to a pallet factory. the chief says it this was the worst possible scenario, hot weather and 7-8 acres of lumber that became fuel for the small fire. at one point a propane fuel tank exploded. luckily the fire chief said no one was injured but this was a really tough fire to fight. >> once it got into the wood it was an intensive firefight.

difficult, over 30 trailers, commercial trailers involved. we lost three structures. >> only one homeowner self- evacuated. his house was never in danger. limited to the storage area. they are investigating the cause of the fire. the fire chief says what started out as a car accident on highway one21 when the toeing company came to move those cars they think small craft advisories may of come from the dolly of the tow truck. but it is still under investigation. what you can see how dangerous it is up here when the weather is hot. >> yes. everying is so, so dry. linda, thank you very much. after four weeks of grueling conditions environmental scientists are examining the damage from the rim fire. they will exam the park and release the report on the conditions of waterways and forested areas. firecrews have the fire about 80% contained with full

them with his arm... jim harbaugh knew it welcome back. a shootout at candlestick.

kaepernick played tough. he scram scrambled on a broken play. wrestled him to the ground. it sparked a shoving match on the sidelines. the late hit. nailed for unsportsman like conduct. by rule t should have been 4th down. they had to replay 3rd down. going for a touchdown and a 14- 7 lead. 14-14, 3rd quarter. one of the 2 touchdowns, 6 catches for 98 yards. then, 49ers, 4th quarter, aaron rodgers, going on the sideline. the packers finished it on a

line, taking the lead. but, chemistry with kaepernick was incredible. going through 43. 412 yards passing for kaepernick. 208 yards receiving. that was the big play. it ended in 1. for the 49ers win. getting the opener, 34-28. >> i am not worried about what people are saying. if intimidation is your game plan, i hope you have a better one. >> you know, i know every receive would love to be but that is not how it works. >> great. now, we did the draft choice for him. paying him a lot of money but, definitely think he is worth every penny. [ laughter ] >> 6th round pick. the great story was in indianapolis. 26 of the raiders 53 players

were making their nfl debut. so, obviously expectations were very low for the raiders. they played in indianapolis in their opener, it looked like they were prime for a route in the 1st half, indy up. luck, drops back, throws, hits it off of dwayne for the 20 yard to make it 14-0. but, a weapon with his feet. nobody open, he takes off. a pick up of 29 yards inside of the 35. led to a short touchdown, prior had 112 yards rushing setting a franchise record for a quarterback; to moore for another touchdown and the 17-14 lead. prior completes 19-29. they could not get anything going on offense until 6 minutes in the game. it takes off and goes all of the way for a 19 yard score. that turns out to be the game

winner. 41-17. more importantly, a moral victory for the silver and black. >> giving him a chance to win. that is all we can ask of him. there are a lot of people that don't think much of prior or people on this team. but he gave us a chance to win. offense gave him a chance to win. a lot of plays out there today. we were up. so, you know, we got -- we got to pull it out. >> taking you across the bay. baseball, 18,000 at the coliseum. a's down 1-0 are in the 3rd. brandon, opposite field. the ball hits off of the base of the wall. 2 runs score and oakland takes the lead. the a's score all of their runs in the 3rd inning and takes it early. the big blow, 3-run shot, into the bleachers, only his 8th of the year. going on to win 8 of the 2. the a's remain 1 1/2 games up on the rangers in the west. oakland hitting the road this week for three in minnesota. giants, 6 ins shutout and ended up with a no decision.

giants it in extra innings, singles, 2 outs in the 11th. he beats the flow. the giants are 3-2 winners? the u.s. open women's final, serena williams, won a tight first set, appeared to have everything under control but then the rally and the loss of the second set. serena wonders what happened. she dropped her first set of the tournament. how about her most dominant stretch of the day she wins the third set 6-1. the 5th u.s. open and 17 grand slam. that is it. coming up tonight, at 11:30 "gameday" we will take you inside of the packers locker room and the late hit on kaepernick and inside of the locker room and vern glen. reporting live from

candlestick. let's go back to you. >> i would not let you off so easy. how about the raiders, are you surprised they did so well today? >> absolutely. i think everyone would go against the best quarterback in football and get blown out. a small victory. everyone says this is no such thing as moral victory. that was one for the raiders today. >> all right,. >> that will do it for this edition of kpix news. "60 minutes" is next. we will have more for you about the fire at 11:00. good night

between you and me, they're, they're strange creatures. they are. they don't think like you and i. you know it. they just, they ignore us. totally. it's like we're only here to serve them. yeah, that's what i been saying.

but then they turn around and fill you up with chevron with techron. i guess we're doing something right. yeah but, come on, humans? humans are weird. [ male announcer ] your car takes care of you, care for it. chevron with techron. care for your car. and what's up with the cat? [ laughter ] [ laughter ] got my eye on him.

ford-- built for the road ahead. >> kroft: everyone has a different idea of what a robot is and what they look like, but the broad universal definition is a machine that can perform the job of a human. tonight, you will see how they have marched out of the realm of science fiction into the mainstream, competing for jobs and changing the economy. you'd think they'd run into each other. >> you would think that, but it never happens. >> when i see what computers and robots can do right now, i think we're going to find ourselves in a world where the work, as we currently think about it, is largely done by machines. >> stahl: each year as the anniversar s
