WEBVTT LET'S CHECK IN WITH LIVE COPPER 3'S PILOT. GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYBODY. I'M OVER SWANS BORO AND MOST OF THE FIGHTING IS GOING ON IN STUMPI CREEK RIGHT NOW. THE AIRPLANES HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET UP MOST OF TODAY DUE TO THE SMOKE. AS WE LOOK DOWN AT THE CONTROLLED BURN AREA WE'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF CALLS TODAY. THEY BUILT A BULLDOZER LINE AROUND HERE TO KEEP THE FIRE FROM JUMPING TOWARD SWANSBORO. AS YOU LOOK DOWN HERE AT THE SLAB CREEK, TODAY THEY LET US IN HERE AT 7,000 FEET AND STRANGELY ENOUGH WE ARE AS YOU CAN SEE GETTING PRETTY CLEAR SKIES. IT WASN'T QUITE THE STORY ALL THE WAY UP. VERY SMOKEY ON THE WAY UP AS WE CLIMBED. AS A MATTER OF FACT WE WENT THROUGH TWO LAYERS OF SMOKE. THE ONE HANGING OVER SACRAMENTO AND THEN THE ONE RIGHT HERE KIND OF FROM ALL OF THESE FIRES . LIVE HELICOPTERER 3. ALL RIGHT. THANKS SO MUCH. FOR THE VERY LATEST INFORMATION ON THE FIGHT AGAINST THE FLAMES WE HAVE A CAL FIRE FIGHTER ON THE PHONE. ANY UPDATE RIGHT NOW? TONIGHT WE'VE CONTINUED TO MAKE GOOD PROGRESS ON THE FIRE. WE DID A LOT OF FIRING OPERATIONS. WE PUT FIRE ON THE GROUND AND IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT TO TRY TO BURN OUT SOME OF THE FUEL IN ANTICIPATION FOR THE POSSIBLE WINDS FANNING THE ACTUAL WILDFIRE. THAT HELPS CREATE A BUFFER BETWEEN THE COMMUNITIES AND THE OTHER RESIDENTS IN THE AREA. A LOT OF GOOD WORK BEING DONE. THIS IS STILL A LOT MORE WORK AHEAD OF US. TALK ABOUT THE CONDITIONS TODAY. WHAT KIND OF CHALLENGES ARE YOU SEEING? HAS IT BEEN A LITTLE BETTER? WE CONTINUE TO SEE WARM TEMPERATURES THE LAST COUPLE DAYS. IT WAS A LITTLE COOL BUT WE SAW A LITTLE MORE MOISTURE IN THE AIR, HIGHER HUMIDITY. THAT HELPED US OUT. THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS THOUGH WE'LL SEE THE WINDS INCREASE. THAT POTENTIALLY COULD DRIVE UP THE FIRE ACTIVITY. BY MID WEEK, LATER IN THE WEEK WE MAY SEE PRECIPITATION. THERE IS GOOD NEWS IN THE FUTURE BUT RIGHT NOW WE HAVE OVER 5500 FIREFIGHTERS BATTLING THIS FIRE. WE'RE NOT OUT OF THE WOODS. THERE IS A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE. TODAY DEFINITELY GOOD PROGRESS BEING MADE. AS YOU EXPECT THE WINDS TO KICK UP WILL YOU BE BRINGING ANY MORE PERSONNEL IN OR DO YOU FEEL YOU HAVE WHAT YOU NEED RIGHT NOW? WE HAVE A LOT OF RESOURCES, A LOT OF AIRCRAFT ON STAND BY, FIREFIGHTERS ON THE GROUND. WE'RE DEFINITELY TAKING A STAND AGAINST THIS FIRE. LAST WEEK IT BURNED AT SUCH AN EXPLOSIVE RATE AND PUT SO MANY HOMES AT THREAT THAT WE NEEDED THE FIREFIGHTERS RIGHT NOW. RIGHT NOW WE FEEL CONFIDENT WE'LL GET THE UPPER HAND AND CONTINUE TO BATTLE THIS BLAZE. ALL RIGHT. THE KING FIRE NOW 18% CONTAINED. WE ALL HOPE THE NUMBER CONTINUES TO GROW QUICKLY. TS THE FIRE HAS GROWN SO MUCH FIREFIGHTERS HAVE SET UP TWO COMMAND CENTERS TO MANAGE IT. THE FIRST POST IS IN PLACERVILLE AT THE EL DORADO COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS TO HOLD THE SOUTHERN CONTAINMENT LINE AND THE NEWER ONE WAS SET UP SATURDAY IN FORESTVILLE IN PLACER COUNTY. THAT POST ALLOWS FIREFIGHTERS TO STAY CLOSER TO THE NORTH END OF THE FIRE. CREWS SAY HAVING TWO POSTS HELPS THEM BETTER DEPLOY THEIR WORK FORCE. FOR A CLOSER LOOK AT WEATHER CONDITIONS THE FIREFIGHTERS ARE DEALING WITH TODAY LET'S CHECK IN WITH OUR CHIEF METEOROLOGIST DANIEL FINAN. TODAY SO FAR THE WINDS HAVE BEEN GENERALLY LIGHT. AS YOU SAW WITH THE PICTURES FROM DAVE, THE SMOKE KIND OF GENTLY DRIFTING UP. HERE ARE THE WINDS IN PLACERVILLE. JUST A LIGHT WESTERLY WIND BEGINNING TO STIR SOME OF THE SMOKE AND SEND IT FURTHER UP THE HILL THAN WE SAW EARLIER TODAY. TONIGHT IT'LL PROBABLY CHANGE AGAIN WHEN WE GET ONE OF THOSE EAST/SOUTHEAST WINDS AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN AREAS ALONG THE WEST SLOPE WILL PROBABLY WAKE UP TO MORE SMOKE AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING. IT IS TOMORROW DURING THE DAY THAT THE WIND WILL CHANGE, NOT ONLY CHANGE DIRECTION MORE SOUTHWESTERLY BUT INCREASE IN SPEED SO THAT WILL HELP TO DO TWO THINGS. ONE IT'LL HELP CLEAR SOME OF THE SMOKE OUT OF THE WEST SLOPE. IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN JUST HOW MUCH IT WILL IMPACT THE FIRE LINE AS WE'LL SEE THE WINDS INCREASE THROUGH TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND INTO THE DAY WEDNESDAY. BECAUSE OF ALL THAT THERE IS A RED FLAG WARNING NOT JUST FOR THE AREA AROUND THE FIRE BUT ALL OF THE WEST SLOPE FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, FOR INCREASING WINDS THAT MAY BE SOME GUSTS UP OVER 30 ESPECIALLY ABOVE 6,000 FEET AND LOW HUMIDITY THAT WILL GO ALONG WITH THAT. SO EVEN THOUGH THINGS HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BIT BETTER WITH LOWER TEMPERATURES AND HIGHER HUMIDITY THE LAST COUPLE DAYS THAT WILL BE CHANGING STARTING TOMORROW. BACK TO YOU. WE KNOW YOU'LL BE WATCHING THAT. EVEN IF YOU LIVE MILES FROM THE FIRE, THE SMOKE, ONE EFFECT OF THE KING FIRE THAT REALLY NO ONE CAN ESCAPE. YET WHILE SOME SCHOOLS IN PLACER COUNTY WERE CLOSED TODAY, WHY IS IT HAPPENING? SO WHAT YOU CAN SEE RIGHT NOW THROUGH OUR CAMERA PEOPLE HERE ARE NOT JUST SEEING THEY ARE SMELLING IT AND BREATHING IT AND IN SOME CASES THEY HAVE BEEN FOR DAYS. SCHOOL WAS CANCELED TODAY BUT NOT EVERYWHERE. COLFAX HIGH SCHOOL AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SHROUDED IN SMOKE AND DESERTED. HERE IN FORESTHILL, IN MEADOW VISTA AND OFFICIALS CLOSED SCHOOLS WHERE PERVASIVE SMOKE IRRITATED THROATS AND WORSENED ALLERGY SYMPTOMS. YET IN SPITE OF THE SMOKE IN AUBURN, THIS WAS A SCHOOL DAY AT ROCK CREEK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR KINDERGARTENERS LIKE LITTLE KENNETH. THEY ARE KEEPING THEM INDOORS. THAT WAS THE FIRST THING I DID WHEN I WENT TO THE OFFICE TODAY TO MAKE SURE OF THAT BECAUSE IF THEY WEREN'T GOING TO DO THAT I WOULD HAVE HAD TO PULL HIM OUT FOR THE DAY. THE PLACER COUNTY PUBLIC HEAMENT OFFICER RECOMMENDED TODAY'S CLOSURES. WE LOOK AT THE 24-HOUR EXPOSURE. THE BODY IS EXPOSED TO FINE PARTICULATE MATTER IN THE NEAR TERM AND OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY. SCHOOL OFFICIALS DECIDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHICH SCHOOLS TO CLOSE THIS MORNING. UP UNTIL LATE LAST NIGHT AUBURN WAS COMPLETELY CLEAR SO THE CHILDREN ESPECIALLY THE SENSITIVE GROUPS DIDN'T HAVE THE SAME EXPOSURE AS SOME OF THE COMMUNITIES LIKE FORESTHILL AND COLFAX WHERE IT WAS SMOKEY ALL DAY YESTERDAY. PARTICULATE MATTER IN COLFAX MEASURED 145 TODAY, CONSIDERED UNHEALTHY. IN AUBURN IT WAS BETTER AT 110. STILL IN THE RED ZONE AND STILL UNHEALTHY. WITH SMOKE EXPECTED TO LINGER, THE SCHOOL LEADERS WILL DECIDE OVERNIGHT WHICH SCHOOLS TO CLOSE TOMORROW. CHILDREN, THOUGH, AREN'T THE ONLY ONES DEALING WITH THE EFFECTS OF SMOKE. IN THE MORNING WHEN I GET UP, I'M WALKING RIGHT INTO L.A. WITH THE STEAM AND THE HEAT AND ALL THAT. AND BACK OUT HERE LIVE AS WE TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THE SMOKE I CAN TELL YOU LATE TODAY THE PLACER COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION TOLD ME THERE ARE NO SET PLANS YET TO CLOSE SCHOOLS TOMORROW. OBVIOUSLY THAT COULD CHANGE DEPENDING ON HOW THE SMOKE TRAVELS SO STUDENTS WON'T KNOW UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING. LIVE HERE IN COLFAX TONIGHT, KCRA 3 NEWS. IT LOOKS PRETTY HEAVY WHERE YOU ARE. ANOTHER LOOK FROM LIVE CHOPPER 3 RIGHT NOW YOU CAN SEE THE SMOKE NEAR THE SLAB CREEK RESERVOIR. THEY'RE DOING SOME CONTROLLED BURNS. FOR MORE ON THIS AREA SEEING THE WORST AIR QUALITY TODAY, LET'S CHECK IN AGAIN WITH MARK FINAN. THINGS REALLY BEGIN TO SHIFT AS YOU GO THROUGH THE DAY. ALL IT TAKES IS A SHUTTLE CHANGE IN WIND DIRECTION AND THE THICK SMOKE MOVES FROM ONE PLACE TO THE NEXT. LET ME SHOW YOU A HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGE FROM NASA. THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN AROUND 11:30 THIS MORNING. LAKE TAHOE RELATIVELY CLEAR. LET ME ZOOM IN ON WHERE THE FIRE IS ACTUALLY BURNING. YOU HEARD IT'S BURNING ON TWO FRONTS. HERE IS THE AREA DAVE HAS BEEN SHOWING US DOWN AROUND SLAB CREEK. AND THEN OF COURSE THE SMOKE ORIGINATING FROM THE NORTHERN END OF THE FIRE AS WELL. DURING THE NIGHT WE ALSO HAD THE EAST WIND AND YOU CAN SEE HOW THE SMOKE GOES ACROSS AUBURN AND THEN DOWN INTO THE VALLEY FLOOR. THAT'S FOLSUM LAKE. THIS IS SACRAMENTO COUNTY. IT CONTINUES TO THE NORTH UP INTO BUTTE COUNTY. YOU CAN SEE MANY COMMUNITIES AFFECTED BY THIS SMOKE. LET ME SHOW YOU THE LATEST WE HAVE ON THE AIR QUALITY. WHERE IT'S WORSE RIGHT NOW. THIS AREA HIGHLIGHTED IN PURPLE , AREAS LIKE COLFAX. IT WAS EVEN WORSE THIS MORNING AROUND AUBURN SO THIS IS BEGINNING TO SHIFT UP THE HILL. THAT'S WHAT WE'LL CONTINUE TO SEE TOMORROW. THE SMOKE MIGHT BE BAD IN YOUR AREA IN THE MORNING AND IMPROVE IN THE AFTERNOON OR BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND. BACK TO YOU. THANKS. LET'S CHECK BACK AGAIN WITH LIVE COPTER 3 PILOT DAVE ALLEN THE SMOKE WAS SO THICK ON FRIDAY DAVE ACTUALLY HAD TO LAND. HOW DOES IT COMPARE TODAY? IT LOOKS LIKE SOME BETTER VISIBILITY FOR YOU. COMPARATIVELY THIS IS THE TROPICS. I COULD NOT HARDLY SEE THE GROUND ON FRIDAY AND IT WAS JUST -- IT PUSHED US BACK ESSENTIALLY OVER DOWNTOWN. TODAY I CAN SEE MORE, OVER TEN MILES AND PRETTY MUCH EVERY DIRECTION EXCEPT INTO THE FIRE, ITSELF. THE SMOKE QUALITY, BURNING OUR EYES AND, YOU KNOW, KIND OF ALMOST COUGHING ON AND ON FRIDAY. TODAY, YOU KNOW, A LOT EASIER TO BREATHE AS WE WATCH THE SKY CRANES DIP AND FIGHT THE FIRE OVER IN THE STUMPY MEADOWS AREA. I JUST CLIMBED UP TO ABOUT 8,000 FEET AND WE KIND OF FOUND THAT SMOKE LAYER AGAIN. THE SECOND LAYER I WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER. EVEN THE COLOR OF THE PICTURES LOOKS BETTER. EVERYTHING LOOKED YELLOW BROWNISH ON FRIDAY AND GREAT TO SEE THE PROGRESS. WE'RE WATCHING THE, YOU KNOW, AIR AS YOU'RE SEEING IT RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU FOR THE LIVE UPDATE AND AERIAL PERSPECTIVE. THOSE SMOKEY SKIES ACTUALLY FORCE ORGANIZERS TO CALL OFF YESTERDAY'S SECOND ANNUAL IRONMAN TRIATHLON AT LAKE TAHOE. IT WAS CANCELED JUST A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE FIRST ATHLETES WERE EXPECTING TO TAKE OFF. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE THE DECISION LEFT THOUSANDS OF COMPETITORS VERY DISAPPOINTED. TODAY WE LEARNED IRONMAN OFFICIALS ARE ALLOWING ATHLETES TO REGISTER FOR RACES THIS YEAR AND NEXT YEAR AT A REDUCED RATE. AT 6:00 WE'LL TALK TO OFFICIALS ABOUT HOW THEY DECIDED TO CANCEL THE RACE AND WHY THEY WAITED UNTIL THE LAST MEETING. THERE WILL BE TWO COMMUNITY MEETINGS FOR NEIGHBORS WHO WANT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR HOMES BOTH AT 7:00, ONE IN GARDEN VALLEY AT THE GOLDEN SIERRA HIGH SCHOOL LOCATED AT 5105 GARDEN VALLEY ROAD. THE OTHER MEETING WILL BE AT THE CAMINO 7TH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH AT 3520 CARSON ROAD. BE SURE AND STAY WITH KCRA 3 FOR CONTINUING COVERAGE OF THE KING FIRE. WE'RE CONSTANTLY PUTTING NEW INFORMATION ON CONTAINMENT NUMBERS AND THE PROGRESS ON OUR WEBSITE. ALSO ON OUR KCRA 3 MOBILE AND SIGN UP FOR OUR BREAKING NEWS ALERT SO YOU'LL BE THE FIRST TO KNOW ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS. TONIGHT IN SISKIYOU COUNTY THE U.S. FOREST SERVICE IS WARNING OF THE POTENTIAL FOR MUD SLIDES ON MOUNT SHASTA. AUTHORITIES SAY A MELTING GLACIER CREATED A MUD SLIDE ON THE SOUTHEAST SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN SATURDAY AFTERNOON. YOU CAN SEE THE BIG MESS THERE. YOU CAN SEE THE SLIDE WAS SO POWERFUL IT SENT SOME OF THE BOULDERS DOWN STREAM. CREWS ARE WORKING TO CLEAR THE MUD AND REOPEN THE AREA TO THE PUBLIC. WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO CLEAR THE MATERIAL OFF THE BRIDGE HERE BUT ALSO FIGURE OUT HOW TO UNPLUG THE CHANNEL, WHICH HAS BECOME COMPLETELY CHOKED WITH THE DEBRIS UPSTREAM AND REROUTE THE CREEK FROM THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BRIDGE WHERE IT IS FLOWING RIGHT NOW BACK INTO THE CROSSING. OFFICIALS THINK THIS IS RELATED TO THE DROUGHT AND THINK THE GLACIER WAS EXPOSED TO THE SUN'S HEAT WHICH CAUSED IT TO MELT. NEW THREATS FROM THE TERRORIST GROUP ISIS THAT HAS THE U.S. ON HIGH ALERT. ALSO, HOW DID HE SNEAK INTO THE MOST SECURE BUILDING IN THE COUNTRY. WHAT WE'RE LEARNING ABOUT THE MAN ACCUSED OF JUMPING THE WHITE HOUSE FENCE AND THE WEAPONS HE ALLEGEDLY HAD STASHED IN HIS CAR. PLUS AN IMMINENT RECALL. WE'LL TELL YOU WHY A CHOCOLATE TREAT IS BEING PULLED OFF SHELVES. AT 6:00, MAKING THE STATE CAPITAL LOOK A LITTLE MORE LIKE THE NATION'S CAPITAL. WHERE A CHERRY TREE GROVE WILL GO TO MIMIC ONE OF D.C.'S MOST FAMOUS EVENTS. ISIS ISSUING A NEW ROUND OF THREATS IN JUST RELEASED AUDIOTAPES AND THE MESSAGE HAS THE U.S. AND OTHER COUNTRIES ON ALERT. THE NEW TAPES CALL ON ALL MUSLIMS TO KILL INNOCENT CIVILIANS IN COUNTRIES THAT BELONG TO THE ANTIISIS COALITION. MEANWHILE EFFORTS TO BUILD AN INTERNATIONAL COALITION AGAINST THE GROUP CONTINUE THIS WEEK AT THE UNITED NATIONS WHERE PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL PRESS LEADERS OF OTHER NATIONS TO HELP STOP THE FLOW OF FOREIGN FIGHTERS. THESE ARE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE BEEN TRAINED AND HAVE ACCESS TO MILITARY EQUIPMENT AND HAVE INDICATED A WILLINGNESS TO DIE FOR THEIR CAUSE. TOMORROW THE U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL EXPECTED TO PASS A RESOLUTION REQUIRING NATIONS TO PROSECUTE CITIZENS WHO TRAVEL ABROAD TO JOIN ISIS. WE'RE LEARNING NEW DETAILS ABOUT THE MAN ACCUSED OF JUMPING A WHITE HOUSE FENCE ARMED WITH A FOLDING KNIFE. OMAR GONZALEZ WAS ARRAIGNED TODAY ON CHARGES OF UNLAWFULLY ENTERING A RESTRICTED AREA WHILE CARRYING A DANGEROUS WEAPON. TODAY WE LEARNED THE 42-YEAR-OLD HAD MORE THAN 800 ROUNDS OF AMMO, TWO HATCHETS, AND A MACHETE IN HIS CAR. GONZALEZ IS AN IRAQ WAR VETERAN WHO RETIRED TWO YEARS AGO BECAUSE OF A DISABILITY. HIS FAMILY SAYS HE SUFFERS FROM PTSD. OFFICIALS ARE NOW LOOKING INTO WHY WHITE HOUSE SECURITY DIDN'T USE THEIR K-9 UNITS. YOU CERTAINLY CANNOT ALLOW AN INTRUDER TO MAKE IT THAT FAR. IF YOU HAVE TO KILL THE INDIVIDUAL, THEN YOU KILL THE INDIVIDUAL. MEAN WHILE THE SECRET SERVICE IS ADDING MORE SECURITY AROUND THE WHITE HOUSE. FOR THE FIRST TIME STUDENT LOAN DEBT IS HIGHER THAN CREDIT CARD DEBT LEAVING TODAY'S GRADUATES STARTING OFF THEIR CAREER IN THE RED. IT'S PART OF A NEW SPECIAL WE'RE CALLING CHASING PAPER, THE COLLEGE DEBT CRISIS. IT IS A TIME OF ENDINGS. WHILE I CANNOT GIVE YOU ALL THE ANSWERS WE'VE PROVIDED THE TOOLS TO MEET THE CHALLENGES. AND NEW BEGINNINGS. I'M HAPPY BUT I WANT -- AS BRIGHT EYED FRESHMEN START MOVING INTO THEIR DORMS -- NERVOUS A LITTLE BIT -- THEIR GENERATION IS SADDLED WITH MORE DEBT THAN ANY BEFORE. I TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT IT. I WANT TO FOCUS ON SCHOOL TONIGHT A KCRA NEWS SPECIAL, CHASING PAPER, THE COLLEGE DEBT CRISIS. FROM INCREASING TUITION. AS YOU KNOW WE FROZE TUITION THREE YEARS IN A ROW. STUDENT DEBT. IT'S SECOND ONLY TO MORTGAGE DEBT. AND WHERE THE MONEY GOES. THERE IS AN ATTEMPT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SORT OF COMPETITION FOR PRESTIGE. TO PLACES YOU MAY NEVER HAVE CONSIDERED FOR YOUR EDUCATION. I DIDN'T REGRET IT. I SAVED A LOT OF MONEY. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT COLLEGE COSTS. THERE IS AN ARROGANCE IN THOSE INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING THAT THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT AND WILL GET FUNDING. STUDENT LOAN DEBT WHEN I'M FINISHED HERE I'LL HAVE A $25,000 DEBT. $1.2 TRILLION IN DEBT, TRILLION WITH A T. IT'S ASTRONOMICAL. AND A SYSTEM SOME SAY IS IN DESPERATE NEED OF REPAIR. WE'RE ON THE BRINK. WE'RE REALLY AT A CRITICAL POINT IN OUR NATION'S HISTORY OF AFFORDABILITY OF COLLEGE. A LOT FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS TO CONSIDER TONIGHT. OUR ONE-HOUR SPECIAL CHASING PAPER THE COLLEGE DEBT CRISIS AIRS TONIGHT AT 7:00 RIGHT HERE ON KCRA 3.

A LABELING ISSUE IS FORCING A RECALL OF SOME M & MS PRODUCTS. MARS CHOCOLATE IS RECALLING THE 3.4-OUNCE M & M'S BRAND MILK CHOCOLATE THEATER BOXES. PEANUT BUTTER IS NOT LISTED AS AN INGREDIENT. YOU PROBABLY KNOW PEOPLE WITH ALLERGIES COULD HAVE SERIOUS OR LIFE THREATENING ALLERGIC REACTIONS IF THEY EAT PEANUT BUTTER. RETAILERS ARE PULLING THE RECALLED BOXES FROM STORE SHELVES. IF YOU BOUGHT A BOX, YOU ARE ASKED TO RETURN IT FOR A FULL REFUND. HERE'S A LIVE LOOK AT FAIRFIELD FROM OUR LIVE CAM NETWORK. YOU CAN SEE WE ALWAYS CHECK TO SEE IF THE FLAGS ARE FLAPPING IN THAT AREA. THEY ARE. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR EVERYONE ELSE? LET'S CHECK IN WITH MARK FINAN. A LITTLE BREEZE OUT THERE AND AS THE BREEZE HAS SHIFTED TODAY IT IS BEGINNING TO MOVE THE SMOKE AROUND A LITTLE BIT. SO LET'S TAKE THIS, THIS IS LIVE COPTER 3 SHOWING THE BURN OPERATION CURRENTLY GOING ON IN EL DORADO COUNTY. YOU CAN SEE DEFINITE MOVEMENT TO THE SMOKE. THE AIR QUALITY TO THE WEST, TOWARD PLACERVILLE AND EL DORADO HILLS, IS MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO FIND TO THE EAST SAY FROM POLLY PINES TOWARD TAHOE. TAHOE EARLIER WAS CLEARER AND NOW THE SMOKE IS MOVING BACK INTO THE TAHOE BASIN. ALL IT TAKES IS A LITTLE SHIFT IN THE WIND AND ONE AREA CLEARS OUT AND ANOTHER AREA GETS THE SMOKE. TEMPERATURE WISE, WELL WE'RE A LITTLE WARMER THAN WE SAW OVER THE WEEKEND. RIGHT NOW 87 DEGREES. IT'S PRETTY TYPICAL THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. WIND OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST AT FIVE. CURRENTLY IN STOCKTON 85 DEGREES. MODEST TOE, SUNSHINE AND 87 DEGREES WITH A LITTLE BREEZE OUT OF THE NORTH. FAIRFIELD WHERE YOU JUST SAW THE BREEZE FROM OUR SKY CAM, WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST AT 18. THE TEMPERATURE DOWN TO 81. AND ATTA HOE EARLIER WE HAD SUNSHINE. NOW WE HAVE SMOKE. 74 DEGREES AND THE WIND OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST AT 8 MILES AN HOUR. ABOVE THE SMOKE, MAINLY CLEAR. LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT IS GOING ON FROM ABOVE. A FEW HIGH CLOUDS BEGINNING TO DRIFT IN BUT BACK HERE THERE IS A WEATHER SYSTEM THAT IS GOING TO BRING A CHANCE OF RAIN AND A REAL NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN THE WEATHER LATER THIS WEEK. TOMORROW WILL BE SUNSHINE, A FEW CLOUDS. BREEZIER ON THE WEST SLOPES. I THINK THE AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN SMOKED IN TODAY LIKE IN PLACER COUNTY MIGHT GET CLEARER BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON. DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY HERE COMES THE WEATHER SYSTEM. DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY IT'LL HANG UP FROM SISKIYOU COUNTY THROUGH MEND SINO COUNTY BUT DURING THE DAY ON THURSDAY IT BEGINS TO SHIFT IN BRINGING SHOWERS TO THE VALLEY AND THE FOOTHILLS AND THE SIERRA. NOT A TON OF RAIN BUT IT WILL BE COOLER DURING THE DAY AND WE'LL MOST LIKELY SEE SHOWERS. BEST CHANCE SACRAMENTO COUNTY TO THE NORTH IN THE MORNING. TOMORROW A COUPLE CLOUDS IN THE AFTERNOON. VARIABLE SMOKE DEPENDING HOW THE WIND CHANGES DIRECTION. THE WINDS WILL BE INCREASING DURING THE DAY. POLLY PINES WILL SEE A HIGH NEAR 80. FOOTHILLS WILL MOST LIKELY START WITH SMOKE AND THEN CLEAR OUT. SAME AREAS IMPACTED BY IT. SONORA NO SMOKE. GRASS VALLEY, COLFAX, AUBURN, PLACERVILLE MOST LIKELY SMOKEY IN THE MORNING. SAN FRANCISCO WILL SEE SUNSHINE. A FEW CLOUDS AND 72. FAIRFIELD GOES TO 86. FOR THE VALLEY SUNSHINE, A FEW HIGH CLOUDS. HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80'S. PRETTY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE SEEN TODAY. AROUND THE SACRAMENTO AREA WE'LL ALSO WARM INTO THE RANGE OF THE MID TO UPPER 80'S AFTER THE UPPER 50'S TONIGHT. SO A MOSTLY SUNNY DAY. A FEW HIGH CLOUDS HERE AND THERE. MIDDAY TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 70'S. ON WEDNESDAY A FEW MORE CLOUDS. A LITTLE RAIN ON THURSDAY. THURSDAY MORNING MOSTLY. 76 DEGREES FOR A HIGH. WE'LL STAY ON THE COOLER SIDE FRIDAY BUT THEN WARM UP AGAIN AND CLEAR OUT AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. BACK TO YOU. SEEING THAT RAIN IN THERE. FINALLY. THE KCRA FAMILY IS EXPANDING.

WE'LL HAVE MUCH MORE COMING UP TONIGHT ON THE NEWS AT 6:00. KCRA-TV THE KING FIRE CONTINUES TO RAGE IN EL DORADO AND PLACER COUNTIES TONIGHT. WHAT IS BEING DONE TO GET THE FLAMES UNDER CONTROL THE IRONMAN TRIATHLON IN TAHOE CANCELED AT THE LAST SECOND. WE'LL TALK LIVE WITH ONE OF THE ORGANIZERS ABOUT WHY THEY HAD TO WAIT SO LONG. THE PRECAUTIONS TAKEN IN THE SCHOOLS AFTER A MOUNTAIN LION WAS SPOTTED. THANKS FOR BEING WITH US ON THIS MONDAY NIGHT. PLUS THE PLAN TO BRING A CHERRY GROVE TO SACRAMENTO. [CLOSED CAPTIONING SPONSORED BY SLEEP TRAIN MATTRESS CENTERS, YOUR TICKET TO A BETTER NIGHT'S SLEEP!] IT HAS BEEN TEN DAYS SINCE THE KING FIRE BROKE OUT IN EL DORADO COUNTY AND THE FIRE CONTINUES TO RAGE ON. HERE IS A LOOK AT THE FIRE BY THE NUMBERS. THE KING FIRE HAS BURNED NEARLY 88,000 ACRES AND IS NOW 18% CONTAINED. WE KNOW AT LEAST TEN HOMES HAVE BEEN LOST AND ANOTHER 12,000 REMAIN THREATENED. WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE TONIGHT ON THE STORY CHIEF METEOROLOGIST MARK FINAN TRACKING WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR US. WE'LL ALSO LOOK AT HOW THE FIRE IS AFFECTING AIR QUALITY. AND WHAT ARE FIRE CREWS DOING TO FIGHT THE FLAMES TONIGHT? DAVID? GOOD EVENING. WE'RE LIVE FROM WENTWORTH SPRINGS ROAD ONE OF THE ROADS FIREFIGHTERS ARE USING TO GET INTO THE HEART OF THE BURN ZONE. IT ONLY GETS YOU SO FAR. FROM THERE YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE ON FOOT. WITH CHAIN SAWS, PICK AXES, AND BACK BREAKING MUSCLE POWER, THIS GROUP FROM REDDING IS CUTTING THROUGH THE BRUSH. WHAT HURTS MOST ON YOUR BODY? EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING. NINE DAYS AFTER THE KING FIRE STARTED, FIVE DAYS AFTER ITS LIGHTNING FAST RUN THROUGH THIS AREA, CREWS HAVE BEEN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS TO TRY TO GET AHEAD OF THE FLAMES. THIS IS ONE OF THE BETTER DAYS. IN TERMS OF WEATHER CONDITIONS YOU MEAN? YEP. YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE MAKING PROGRESS? ON THIS SIDE WE DO ON THE OTHER HAND THE LIGHTER WINDS CAUSED THE SMOKE TO SETTLE MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE AND IMPOSSIBLE FOR FIREFIGHTING PLANES AND HELICOPTERS TO TAKE TO THE AIR. WHEN THE IMMERSION SETS IN THEY CAN'T SEE ANYTHING. THEY CAN'T OPERATE. IT'S NOT SAFE TO FLY IN THAT. THIS IS WHEN THE GROUND CREWS TAKE OVER. YES. HERE THE LINE IN THE SAND IS NOT VERY SANDY. IT'S FULL OF ROCKS LIKE THIS. SIX INCHES ACROSS. IT JOLTS. ALL YOUR ARMS AND YOUR SHOULDERS. FIREFIGHTERS KNOW EVENTUALLY THEIR LUCK WILL RUN OUT. THE WIND WILL COME BACK. SO WHILE THE KING FIRE IS ON THE ROPES, THEY KEEP SWINGING. THE MOST REWARDING JOB YOU COULD HAVE IN TERMS OF PHYSICAL ABILITY. BACK LIVE YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE SMOKE ABOVE. IT HAS STARTED TO DISPERSE. THE WINDS HAVE STARTED TO PICK UP A LITTLE BIT SO THE HELICOPTERS HAVE BEEN LIFTING WATER OUT OF STUMPY MEADOWS RESERVOIR AND TAKING IT DIRECT TO THE FRONT LINES.
