the washburn fire that wildfire has grown to more than 3200 acres and remains 22% contained tonight. this evening. teams are fighting to save some of the biggest trees in america. fox news giovanni luigi joins us now live with an update on the firefight. giovanni. how are things looking? julie what? i can tell you that these hot temperatures are making it difficult for firefighters to actually fight this fire, smoke flaring up right behind me. it's a much different scene compared to a few hours ago when the smoke started to die down a little bit started to pick up in the past few hours, but firefighters are trying to protect the sequoia grove. hundreds of the tallest trees standing here in america. some of them have been standing for hundreds of years. for the fourth day in a row. the washburn fire is getting bigger . it's true through more than 3000 acres of forest filling yosemite national park with

smoke more than 500. firefighters are working to keep the flames from torching the sequoia trees. in the past decade, fire officials say close to 20% of them have been burned . national park service's so aggressively fighting this fire, so there's so many resources on this fire is to be able to protect these special places for future generations. so this is one of the areas but the fire burned through and you can see cruiser still working to put some of those burning embers out, and firefighters have also been using a technique to fight fire with fire. buy back burning fire crews were able to gain control over some parts of the fire, and firefighters set up sprinkler systems to protect these giant trees. one thing you do have is you do have we have a multiyear drought here in california. so obviously you've got you have drought, stress trees. you have droughts, just vegetation and those types of things, and so that's always going to be that's always going to cause for wider fire spread and also resistance to suppression. this week temperatures in california making this firefight more

difficult. and tonight, hundreds of people remain evacuated and still no word on what possibly caused this fire. but we do know that it was not caused by weather conditions, so fire investigators are still trying to figure out who and how this fire started. truly. giovanni for people who have not been there. yosemite is just an incredible place to visit. can you just explain, clarify if such a massive park are some of the entrance is still open and others closed. yes so the southern insurance is still closed. as of this morning, it's on highway 41. the northern entrance is still open to tourists are still in the park. so if you are planning on going to the park, you're going to want to go through the northern insurance. but smoke could impact your visit. it's all through the area and through the entire park. julie can see it there in the distance. alright, giovanni luigi reporting for us tonight on the washburn fire, giovanni. thank you. pull around

actually be an opportunity for tenants who have been denied or left, waiting to actually see some of that state rent relief money, ktvu reported just a few weeks ago, data shows tens of thousands still waiting for their applications to be reviewed and one in three applications have been denied. many tenants tell us they're not sure why they've been denied, and almost all have met the low income requirement. now that in itself brought about this lawsuit now a judge has ordered the department of housing and community development to immediately stop denying applications for rent relief. also any denials issued in the last 30 days are now on hold. this gives the court time to review the state's rent relief program. it's practices and its appeals process, then a final decision will be made on that lawsuit. the state is touted its program and shows it has paid out close to $4 billion to struggling renters, according to its dashboard. but ktvu has received dozens of emails from renters stuck with no movement on their applications for months

right now, tenant advocates say they estimate 100,000 california households are still waiting for their applications to be approved or were recently denied with little clarification. tenants will be told that they were denied because, um. their application is incomplete, but they think it's complete and no one has explained to them. what is incomplete about it, or they're told that their documentation can't be verified , but they don't know what that means or how to explain what whatever it is that is being seen as an issue. i hope that with the judge's order, they'll recognize that their process is broken, and they're not providing tenants a fair chance. and they recognize that they need to do better. they need to tell tenants what the problem is with their application when they're going to issue a denial and give tenants a fair chance to appeal and to get the rental assistance that they're eligible for. the state responded to my request for comment by saying this we stand by the work we

have done to keep more than 340,000 low income households over 700,000. californians stable e housed and will continue to do what we can to support californians in need of assistance. we are disappointed by the court's ruling and will continue to defend california's covid-19 rent relief program, and we should note this program ended in march. so these applications and rent money that we're talking about it actually only covers the first few months of this year or sometime last year. statewide eviction protections expired at the end of june, and tenant advocates say in cities and counties without any additional protections. there's been an uptick in evictions because simply rent is going unpaid. julie and brooks like you said. you're talking about tens of thousands of people kind of just hanging in limbo, waiting to find out answers to this, and there's really no idea to figure out how long this would take to be sorted out. that's right. there is no indication from the state of what their plan of action is from here. we're still

hearing from people, so we're going to put some resources over on ktvu dot com so people can find answers to all their questions and hopefully get them some relief. brooks thank you. thank you. well, the price of gas is going down as oil prices decline, triple a says the national average is down 12 cents since last week to $4.67 a gallon here in california. unleaded cost $6.05 down from $6.23 a week ago and in the bay area, san jose is seeing an average of $6.03 in oakland. it's $6.08. in san francisco is looking at gas for $6.10 a gallon. a bay area coalition is saying no to new gas stations. they're hoping this leads to more people buying electric cars . ktvu tom vacar joining us now live from petaluma. that's one of a handful of local cities that have already made the move to ban new gas stations. and this idea really is catching on, tom very much catching on now,

for example, petaluma that used to be called the egg capital of the world, but they've hatched a new legacy now, and that legacy has the energy industry scrambling a bit. the pain at the pump alone is increasing the sales of electric cars. but what about fewer gas stations? woody hastings is with con gas, the coalition opposing new gas stations is there need for more of them. um so i would just say no. we participated in playing a role in defeating three uh, proposed gas stations in tsunami county last year. petaluma outright ban any more destinations. others that have followed rohnert park, sebastopol and kotani. they have done the same in san anselmo has adopted a moratorium is working on a permanent ban. napa's calistoga has imposed a ban. and now, uh, you know, city of los

angeles is wanting to do similar hastings says he's received inquires from people in ohio, new york and washington state. yeah, i mean, we used to have twice as many as we have now, and there's not that many cars sitting here. i think we have plenty of gas stations, and i think we should be looking for alternative. ways of getting around town while stores with big parking lots like cinemas and big box stores will no doubt provide a certain amount of charging and likely at some point for a price. gas stations have the advantage of being a place people already know where to get fuel and trust them. i have a really old truck, so i'm depending on the gas stations, but i think that we will be transitioning more into electric vehicles. we have two vehicles. one is electric and won his car or gas and i prefer the electric vehicle. and there's more santa

rosa city council planning committee will take up the issue on thursday and the city of windsor well, it's likely going to vote on it in mig mid august, but make no mistake. l a. if it doesn't it's a real game changer. tom baker ktvu fox two. twitter is suing elon musk to force him to complete his $44 billion acquisition of the company. twitter says musk after entering a binding merger agreement. now refuses to honor his obligations to twitter and its stockholders because the deal he signed no longer serves his personal interests. the lawsuit marks the beginning of what could be a long legal battle in the delaware court of chancery twitter seeks to hold must to his deal to pay $54.20 per share for the company. musk says twitter failed to provide enough information about the number of fake accounts on its service to southern california, where police have released surveillance photos of the man believed responsible for a
