pushing into strawberry and then on to south lake tahoe more than 15,000 firefighters out there right now working the front lines more than a doesn't active wildfires across our state. hazy conditions brought on by wildfire smoke prompted some schools here in the bay area to take action today. ktvu south reporter jesse gary shows us how people across the bay area are managing this bad air for decades northern californians joked this is what southern california looks like not anymore not since the advent of the 12 month fire season. yeah you can definitely see it up there and smell a little bit seems like it's coming down a little bit down to the surface area here. 13 major wildfires. burning the state's landscape are also tainting the air with a brownish hue you probably woke up to, uh hes this morning and if it's not hasn't reached yet it's probably headed that way air quality readings ranged from moderate to unhealthy to

hazardous the town of pollock pines near south lake tahoe registered an acute by off the charge it measures about 10 times worse than the average bay area reading by some sensor systems. experts say it's a problem for those near pollock pines and beyond the fine particles in the smoke travel long distances dr john bombs is a pulmonary and critical care specialist at ucsf he says fine particular matter, 30 times smaller than a strand of hair can make its way into the lungs allergies and asthma are worsened and the impact of a covid infection can be more severe. those particles can uh, increased risk for lower aspire to attract tract infections like covid led to increased risk of both infection and more severe outcomes from covid in the east bay administrators at the orender union school district friday cancelled outdoor lunch and recess due to unhealthy air readings air

quality protocol so when it reaches a certain, uh. low air quality number we go indoors where we have filters with more of 13 filters. we have hepa filters so it's safer to keep the students inside in an age where fire season doesn't take a break the new reality is a blanket of haze that experts say threatens everyone's health, very visible it's covering up seem to be coming in early this morning kind of hanging around the bay area air quality management district is expanding its clean air filtration program in all bay area can these officials say, if you don't have some type of air filtration system state inside your home as much as possible for a mask or cover your face with some kind of cloth until the air quality improves in san jose jesse gary ktvu fox two news. and so the question becomes. when is the air quality going to be improving and the answer is simply sunday night into monday so unfortunately we're stuck with this this live look outside right now. in san francisco you can see just very

hazy skies out there and as we look at air quality we have slipped and notice as we look a little bit further to the east all of the oranges and reds that are coming towards us as that air continues to truck in. so this is where we're at right now and you can see we have yellow, which is moderate air quality in san francisco and marin county, but head up to santa rosa, and that's unhealthy for sensitive groups. same story in oakland same story down in the south bay is well down in san jose you can see and you just had to head over to concord and you know livermore and see that they're now in that unhealthy groups. so this is the forecast for tomorrow unfortunately we do have that spare the air alert today and into tomorrow and we're kind of stuck with this until we start to get wind coming onshore and that is not going to be until sunday night. so all of this is happening because high pressure is off the coast and that is actually helping to drive with clockwise circulation some of the wind from the north our way and that is what is bringing it down to our level now, not all of it makes it down to the surface, but enough of it today that it is seriously affecting our air

quality so let's take a look at this future cast and just show you as we get into tomorrow morning unfortunately you see, it gets worse as that northerly flow kicks in. we get a little bit of a break there saturday in the evening as you can see, it starts to just push away just from the coast but it isn't until sunday. there's eight a.m. on sunday that we finally start to see this move back as we start to get that onshore flow cooler temperatures and much better air now speaking of temperatures i'll be back in just a bit to talk about the heat that we still have to endure as we go through the weekend for now send it back to the desk. carla thank you turning down to the latest on the calle door fire in eldorado county as crews are battling to keep the flames out of the tahoe basin. cal fire says the fire is leaping from tree to tree in steep rugged terrain the fire has burned more than 143,008 are over 224 square miles and it's still just 12% contained many people who live along highway 50 corridor on the route to tahoe are under an evacuation warning right now kevin cooper familiar face here on ktvu lives in myers and he

confidence in the economy is covid cases skyrocket a survey published by gallup today finds that 60% of respondents feel the economy is getting worse. and that is up from 54% of people last month the loss of confidence seems to be tied to surges in covid cases the percentage of americans naming covid-19 is the most important problem facing the country has doubled, and it is once again the top problem mentioned overall. the federal reserve says it could start scaling back its stimulus this year, fed chair jerome powell said that is due to improvement in the u. s economy despite that survey that we just talked about since the feds last meeting the intervening months

unique ways to get through to someone who is rob ross spoke with the man who hired a phone bought service or many people, calling the california employment development department or tdd for help they don't get much further than this thank you for calling the employment development department unemployment insurance customer service center at least you're just frustrated because you can't get ahold of anybody. desmond silva of tracy still hasn't received his benefits from when he was furloughed from tesla more than a year ago and he says he also hasn't received his unemployment benefits from when his job ended in june you see the fraudulent claims that are throughout eddie dennis things like the criminals got paid while the people that really need it are really sitting in limbo now. where it seems like the criminals got off with the fraud and it just seems like the people that really needed are really struggling now, silva says he called the dd constantly records show the edie was getting 2.1 million calls a week last month. no luck at all. that's why i decided to

call give the body tried the but it's a service that enlists an automated artificially intelligent web robot for $50 it relentlessly called the e d. d for two days 50 bucks is nothing if i get ahold of somebody and it got hold of somebody on the second day, unfortunately silva was told he needed a different department and is now getting help with his claim but if it wasn't for the body wouldn't have known where to go it reflects the, um. um, great overloaded the system and the desperation people. michael bernick is the former head of the e, d d and now at an employment and labour lawyer in san francisco for each individual. it makes sense to make as many calls or hire people to make calls um collectively it leads to a system that just is overloaded with calls and means that nobody is able to get through easily the e d. d provided a statement to ktvu pointing out. it has a callback system for those who leave their number

officials say pollution levels from the wildfires are worse than previously anticipated so anyone with respiratory issues is advised to try to stay inside with those windows and doors shut are you watching ktvu fox two news tonight at 6 30 as we mentioned earlier, there are more than a dozen act of wildfires trading resources across the state right now, more than 15,000 firefighters are working with those fires and cal fire's jonathan cox joins us now without more perspective on challenges ahead for firefighters. jonathan thank you so much for joining us. let's start of course with the calgary fire. there are two big issues right now. first cruiser trying to protect the town of strawberry. how is that going? yeah that's right, andre our crews are in there right now, really focusing on the priorities which is structure protection throughout that whole eldorado county obviously there's two big priorities that's on either side of the fire both the west side on the east side and really what we are struggling with at the moment is just the weather we get this heat wave that comes through and pushes the win. one way. the low pressures that

come through and push the winds in the opposite direction. so work really fighting fire on two fronts there, and that is one of the highest priorities for us in the state. at the moment the east side of the fire really the big problem because it encroaches closer to the tahoe basin crews ready to defend echo summit south lake tahoe. um you mentioned the weather, but is there is there any hope of being successful in the spot over the next few days? yeah you know, the next few days will be critical for us you know, the longer term whether forecast for the area is a little bit more favorable as we get through the weekend and into early next week but what concerns us is just the wind that's associated with any sort of weather pattern and change uh in those areas and obviously the tahoe basin being one of the biggest concern, so there's resources from throughout the state on the line right now rotations getting more apparatus into place as best as possible and we were really kind of in that mid summer battle rhythm right now of getting resources deployed and moved around the highest priorities. speaking of

another high priority here, the biggest wildfire still the dixie fire burning now for six weeks nearly 750,000 acres burned almost 700 homes destroyed whereas containment at now and what's the major issue keeping the flames going at this point, jonathan yes so we're over 40% contained on that fire now this has been a battle. it's been a unprecedented fire for just where it's burning how it's burned and kind of how long it's consumed. fuel for crews are getting a good. a good containment on that fire. you know, it's trending in the right direction new incident management team will be transitioning to that fire in the next few days, and so things are looking up there there's some optimism not to say that we're out of the woods by any means. but things are looking up, and i think one of the top priorities and the concerns right now is really that eldorado and called or fire and back to the you're sick you're transitioning on the dixie fire to a new incident command team. what's the significance of that change over? yes, the significance of that is just making sure that

we're rotating our cruise through these incidents if we have crews that are in place too long. we really like to get them off get them two days rest and get them some rest and relaxation so they are able to get back out there. we're only halfway through the fire season right now, typically the worst months or ahead of us and although we have major fires burning across the state we're doing two things at once we're focussing on the now and the emergencies at hand as well as planning for what the next step. eight and kind of 15 weeks look like all right, jonathan cox spokesperson for cal fire. thank you so much for bringing your insight into the caldera fire and the dixie fires burning right now across california appreciate it. thanks well, the family of fallen san francisco firefighter jason cortezis still in mourning, but they've got one less thing to worry about. now. cortez died in october of last year when he fell during a training exercise he left behind a wife and two young sons. as well as a mortgage to relieve some of

that burden the tunnel to towers nonprofit stepped forward and paid off the mortgage on the house that cortez shared with his family to us it's our duty to make sure this family has at least one burden taken away relief um that we can just focus on our healing um and it's so nice to know that there are people out there that um are so kind took care. supporting us. even people we don't know tunnel to towers is a nonprofit established to honor a firefighter who gave his life in new york during the 9 11 terror attacks. now the tunnel to towers foundation is set to hold this annual run in new york city coming up next month and we hope that you'll join us as we honor all of those participants and the organization for its ongoing good work. that special is set to air right here on ktvu fox two coming up on friday october 1st at seven p.m. art so with it last few minutes, we got word into the newsroom from the
