we can. they're putting in work their training. and you can see how bad things are right now. here's where we stand today through 2021 cal fire officials say more than 17,000 acres have already burt again, we're not even technically in summer that's a 58% increase from the same time last year in total crews have already responded to more than 3,000 wild fire incidents that is a 26% increase from the same point in 2020. so fire crews obviously need to be ready before things get really bad late summer into the fall, which is the height of fire season. typically and both veteran firefighters and new recruits. they were out today. you see him conducting drills. this is in the santa cruz mountains over the past month. that area has already seen several flare ups. you see one of them right here from last summer's czu lightning complex fire yet still hot. and today's training was meant to prepare

crews for a worst case scenario. so we have our engines out escape routes and safety zones and. >> and working all the different things that they work during a fire as we mentor are folks who have people in new roles. it's good we have these things down before the fire really hits. >> so folks living in the santa cruz mountains today were advised not to let their guard down despite the presence of fire crews. their training and people are reminded to call 911, whenever they see or smell smoke better to be safe than sorry. unfortunately, there will be plenty of wildfire fuel this summer. you see the exceptional drought, the worst category, this maroon color enveloping much of the bay area right now. the conditions are bone dry. they're only going to get drier and we could soon see triple digit temperatures. our chief meteorologist lawrence karnow standing by with that part of the story and bring lawrence. and you know, we've had what

rain that some of these fires even from last year are able to restart. and so that gives you an idea how dry it is that water just not able to percolate down to the soil and also bring up plenty of moisture to drug not only drown those fires but also give substance to some of those routes around the bay area. so many of the trees and the plants are going to be weekend to disease and possibly die. adding to the fire danger around the bay area. so yeah, here's what we're looking at now through the night tonight. of course not much. you got a bit of a breeze out there as we head toward tomorrow afternoon. you'll notice the things begin to change again to get that afternoon sea breeze. and even though we are seeing a really extraordinary fire conditions. you start to see things get elevated by tomorrow afternoon as we start to see that sea breeze kicking in of 20, maybe 30 miles an hour in some spots that will be likely the case again as we get into saturday as well. saturday afternoon. a little more extensive. but next week. that is all going to change. we're talking about some triple digit heat. very hot temperatures rolling into the bay area. and we've already got dry conditions of
