THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FORCED FROM THEIR HOMES AS MORE THAN 100,000 ACRES BURNED IN SAN BERNARDINO, RIVERSIDE, LOS ANGELES, AND ORANGE COUNTIES.

LOCAL CREWS ARE NOW JOINING THE FIGHT.

AMY REPORTS.>> WILDFIRES ARE FORCING TENS OF THOUSANDS OUT OF THEIR HOMES IN WESTERN STATES.

>> YOU'VE GOT TO GO, YOU GOT TO GO.>> THE AIRPORT FIRE IS EXPANDING RAPIDLY AND ORANGE COUNTY, AFTER IGNITING MONDAY.>> 40 FOOT FLAMES, MOVING AND CHANGING EVERY 10 MINUTES.>> THE FIRE HAS BEEN MOVING IN A WAY THAT IS HARD TO PREDICT, WITH 1400 HOMES UNDER EVACUATION ORDERS.

PEOPLE ARE GRABBING THEIR PETS AND FLEEING.

SO EVERYTHING IN THE CAR IS WHAT'S IMPORTANT, WE ARE HEADED DOWN THE HILL.>> THE LINE FIRE IS BEHIND 4000 HOME EVACUATIONS IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY.

THE FOREST IS 30 MILES FROM L.A. AND HUMANS ARE THE ONLY ONE FLEEING.

>> WE HAVE 25 HORSES WE ARE HOLDING AT THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER.>> THE EVACUATION CENTERS ARE FULL.>> THERE ARE GOATS, CHICKENS, AND DUCKS WE ARE CARING FOR.>> FOR MORE HERE AT HOME, TANYA THORNE GIVES US AN UPDATE ON THE FIRE AND WEATHER CONDITIONS.>> THE AIRPORT FIRE IS BURNING FAR NORTH OF THE COUNTY LINE, BUT THE IMPACT IS BEING FELT HERE.>> IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, THE SMOKE IS COMING FROM THE AIRPORT FIRE.

IT'S NOW GOING TO THE BACKSIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN, RIVERSIDE COUNTY.>> ALEX IS WIND PATTERNS ARE PUSHING SMOKE INTO THE INLAND EMPIRE AND NORTHERN SAN DIEGO.>> AT NIGHT, THE SMOKE WILL SETTLE TO THE GROUND.

DURING THE DAY, THE SMOKE, SO MOST LIKE OPENING YOUR WINDOWS, THE SMOKE LIKES TO GET OUT AND GO WHERE IT WANTS TO GO, BUT THE PREVAILING WIND IS CONTROLLED BY THE WEATHER PATTERN.

>> THE AIRPORT FIRE HAS CONSUMED 22,000 ACRES.

THE VEGETATION IS NEAR RECORD DRY LEVELS, AND THE COOL WEATHER WE ARE GETTING NOW IS NOT MAKE MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE.>> WE WILL STILL HAVE SOME OF THAT FIRE EXPOSED TO DRY AIR, BUT OVERALL, ALL AREAS ARE GOING TO BE EXPERIENCING COOLER TEMPERATURES, AND HIGHER HUMIDITY, SO THAT IS GOOD NEWS IN TERMS OF ALLOWING FIREFIGHTERS TO GET A HANDLE ON THESE FIRES, HOPEFULLY BY FRIDAY.>> SMOKE WILL REMAIN IN THE AIR AND GET WORSE THE FURTHER NORTH YOU HAD IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

THIS CAUSED THE AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT TO ISSUE A WARNING ABOUT AIR QUALITY.

>> WE ARE ADVISING THE PUBLIC TO MONITOR CONDITIONS AND REDUCE ACTIVITIES OUTDOORS.>> MULTIPLE AGENCIES ARE FIGHTING THE AIRPORT FIRE, INCLUDING CAL FIRE.

MIKE IS A CAPTION WITH THE AGENCY.>> ANYTIME WE ARE GETTING A WILDLAND FIRE, IT'S NOT JUST THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, IT'S A TEAM EFFORT IN THE STATE AND COUNTY, IT IS A REGIONAL APPROACH TO KEEP THESE FIRES AS SMALL AS WE CAN, EAT THEM OUT OF THESE COMMUNITIES AND PROTECT AS MUCH LIFE AND PROPERTY AS WE ARE ABLE.

STEW THAT INCLUDES PROTECTION OF COMMUNITIES EXPERIENCING SECONDHAND EFFECTS.

>> YOU GET HAZY CONDITIONS AND START SEEING THAT SMOKE, IT'S BEST TO STAY INSIDE AND MAKE SURE YOUR AIR-CONDITIONING IS ON, IT IS ALMOST LIKE A RECIRCULATION IN YOUR HOME, THAT'S GOING TO RECIRCULATE THE AIR AND GOING TO THE DOCTORS.>> FOR AN UPDATE, YOU CAN VISIT FIRE.CA.GOV.>> THAT MARINE LAYER CONTINUES TO DEEPEN, AND THOSE LOW CLOUDS ARE MAKING A RETURN.

ALONG THE COAST, WE ARE STILL GOING TO BE TRACKING SOME LOWER CLOUDS LATE IN THE DAY AND EARLY IN THE DAY, AND THOSE LOW CLOUDS ARE SPREADING ACROSS THE VALLEYS.

TONIGHT WE ARE JUMPING DOWN TO A LOW OF 65.

WE ARE GOING TO TELL YOU HOW LOW TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO GET THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE WEEK.>>> FRUSTRATIONS ARE BOILING OVER, WITH THE HANDLING OF THE SEWAGE CRISIS IN IMPERIAL BEACH.

THIS WEEK, A UC SAN DIEGO RESEARCHER SAYS THEIR TEST FOUND DANGEROUS LEVELS OF HYDROGEN CYANIDE IN THE AIR.>> YOU SO QUICKLY GLARED OUR AIR IS SAFE YESTERDAY, FOR OUR CHILDREN, OUR ELDERLY, IMMUNOCOMPROMISED, YOU HAVE NOT DEMONSTRATED THAT THE AIR IS SAFE.>> MY CHILDREN ARE STARTING TO REPORT HEADACHES AND STOMACH ACHES, MY CHILD HAS ASTHMA, HER ASTHMA HAS SEVERELY LAYERED UP.

>> THE REASON WE HAVE THAT PRESS CONFERENCE, I DON'T WANT THIS MISSING FROM - - I DON'T WANT THIS INFORMATION TO SCARE PEOPLE, I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE GATHERING INFORMATION AS ACCURATELY AND SCIENTIFICALLY AS WE NEED PEOPLE TO DO.

>> VARGAS WENT ON TO SAY TOMORROW SHE WILL ASK THE CONTROL DISTRICT CONDUCT DAILY TESTING.

SHE SAYS SHE'S ALSO WORKING TO GET MONEY TO MAKE MORE AIR FILTERS AVAILABLE FOR RESIDENTS.

TO THE ECONOMY, A FEDERAL ABORTION BAN, IMMIGRATION, DEBUNKED ALLEGATIONS OF IMMIGRANTS STEALING AND EATING FAMILY PETS DOMINATED LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE.

LITTLE WAS SAID ABOUT THE FUTURE OF AMERICA'S DEMOCRATIC NORMS, AND THE DEBATE PROVIDED LITTLE ASSURANCE.>> KAMALA HARRIS.>> VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS FIRED AN OPENING SALVO ABOUT WHAT SHE SAYS IS FORMER RESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S INTENT TO IMPLEMENT PROJECT 2025, A PLAN DEVISED BY CONSERVATIVES, MANY OF WHOM WORKED FOR TRUMP, THAT WOULD AMONG OTHER THINGS, ELIMINATE THE DEPARTMENTS OF EDUCATION AND HOMELAND SECURITY, AND DISMANTLE PROGRAMS THAT HELP PEOPLE STRUGGLING ECONOMICALLY, REDUCE THE FEDERAL ABORTION BAN, AND PUT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE PRESIDENT.

>> WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR TONIGHT IS A DETAILED AND DANGEROUS PLAN CALLED PROJECT 2025, THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT INTENDS ON IMPLEMENT IF HE WERE ELECTED AGAIN.

>> I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH PROJECTS 2025, THAT'S OUT THERE, I HAVEN'T READ IT, I DON'T WANT TO READ IT, PURPOSEFULLY, NOT GOING TO READ IT.>> NOT MUCH ELSE WAS SET UP THE PLAN, WHICH CHRISTIANS - - WHICH SOME SAY IS CHRISTIAN FASCISM.

>> IF YOU READ PROJECT 25, YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE MEANT BY REFERRING TO THE POLICIES AND CHANGES IN GOVERNING STRUCTURE THAT IT WOULD BRING, BUT IF YOU WEREN'T, THAT JUST SOUNDS LIKE CODE LANGUAGE, I DON'T THINK SHE TOOK TIME, OR HAD THE TIME TO GO INTO A FULL EXPLANATION OF THIS SET OF PROPOSALS AND WHAT THEY WOULD DO.

>> TRUMP ALSO REFUSED TO COMMIT ACCEPTING RESULTS OF THE NOVEMBER PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, CALLING THAT REFUSAL A DANGEROUS HARBINGER FOR DEMOCRACY.

>> THAT SENT US ON THE PATH WE SAW JANUARY 6, A PATH THAT WE COULD STILL BE ON.

THERE ARE TWO THINGS WE KNOW FOR CERTAIN, THIS WILL BE A VERY CLOSE ELECTION, AND DONALD TRUMP WILL CLAIM VICTORY, AND THAT IS GOING TO MAKE THIS YET AGAIN A CHALLENGE TO INSTITUTIONS AND DEMOCRACY.

>> ANOTHER MOMENT WAS THE MOST DAMAGING FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT.

THEY ARE EATING THE PETS OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE.

>> THAT WAS TRUMP'S REPETITION OF A FALSE CLAIM THAT HAITIAN IMMIGRANTS IN OHIO ARE STEALING THOSE CATS AND DOGS TO, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS FAXED CHECK BY A MODERATOR, IN REAL-TIME.

THE HEAD OF THE CALIFORNIA GOP ISSUED A STATEMENT, READING AND PART "IT IS CLEAR KAMALA HARRIS IS NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF PRESIDENT TRUMP, OUR COUNTRY WAS SAFER, WEALTHIER, AND STRONGER.

NOVEMBER 5, THE AMERICANS RE- ELECT PRESIDENT TRUMP TO GET OUR NATION BACK ON TRACK.

>> THE DAY AFTER THAT FIERY DEBATE, BOTH CANDIDATES TOOK A BREAK FROM CAMPAIGNING TO REMEMBER THE LIVES LOST ON 9/11, THAT STORY IS STILL AHEAD.>>> SAN DIEGO COUNTY WILL SOON HAVE A NEW SET OF REQUIREMENTS FOR CREATING NEW BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE, AS THOMAS FUTCH TELLS US, THEY FELL SHORT OF IMPOSING A MORATORIUM.>> LITHIUM ION BATTERIES ARE USED TO STORE BATTERIES FOR BIKES, CARS AND CELL PHONES, THOUSANDS OF THEM ARE USED IN BATTERY ENERGY SYSTEMS TO STORE ENERGY FROM RENEWABLE GENERATORS LIKE SOLAR POWER.

IT WAS MEANT TO CREATE STRONGER SAFETY STANDARDS, AND ATTRACTED A LOT OF THE PUBLIC.

STEPHANIE BAXTER OF FALLBROOK SAYS THE BATTERY STORAGE FACILITY IN HER TOWN HAS BEEN A PROBLEM.>> IN REALITY, IT'S A PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY HAZARD, AND A NOISE NUISANCE, IT HAS DEVALUED PROPERTY, WITH INSURANCE VALUES INCREASING 400% IN MANY CASES, IT CAN BE CATASTROPHIC FOR HOMEOWNERS, AND FOR THOSE IN PROXIMITY TO THIS FACILITY.>> TWO FIRES HAVE OCCURRED RECENTLY, LAST WEEK A FIRE IN ESCONDIDO REQUIRED EVACUATIONS, EXPOSING THE RISK OF EXPLOSIONS AND TOXIC AIR POLLUTION.

OTHER LOCATIONS ARE VITAL FOR CLEAN ENERGY GOALS, WITH RENEWABLE ENERGY STORED FOR LATER USE.>> WHILE THIS WAS UNFORTUNATE, IT WAS HANDLED HOW IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN, EXTINGUISHED AS DESIGNED, WITH MINIMAL IMPACT TO THE SURROUNDING AREAS.>> THE COUNTY BOARD DID NOT APPROVE THE MORATORIUM ON NEW APPLICATIONS FOR BATTERY STORAGE, BUT SUPERVISORS DID ORDER THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO SUGGEST AN FORCE BUFFER ZONES.

NEW CODES WILL ALSO REQUIRE A TECHNICAL STUDY OF FIRE SAFETY AND REQUIRE PROJECTS TO FOLLOW RECOMMENDATIONS.

THOMAS FIVE - - THOMAS FUTCH, KPBS NEWS.

>> CITY LEADERS ARE EXPLORING CHANGES THAT COULD WEAKEN TENANT LAWS.

COURSES ACCUSES THIS COMES LESS THAN TWO YEARS AFTER THAT LAW WENT INTO EFFECT.>> CHULA VISTA'S PROTECTION ORDINANCE HARDER FOR TENANTS, IT WAS STRONGLY REPORTED BY RENTERS AND ADVOCATES.

BUT THE CITY WAS REPEATEDLY ASKED TO LOOSEN PARTS OF THAT LAW.>> ESSENTIALLY IT TURNS INTO A PENALTY, A REWARD FOR ANYONE OVER THAT AMOUNT, IT CREATES INCENTIVE TO RAISE THE RENT.

>> CITY STAFF MET REPEATEDLY WITH LANDLORD GROUPS AS THEY WERE REPEALING THE ORDINANCES.>> WE DID OUR VERY BEST TO WORK WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING, I THINK THAT EVERYBODY COULD LIVE WITH, IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD.

ONE WAS A CLEANING GROUP THAT CLEANS CLOTHING FOR FIREFIGHTERS AND FIRST RESPONDERS.

THEY SAY IT'S NOT JUST A TOKEN OF GRATITUDE, BUT A WAY TO REMEMBER.

>> I WANT TO MAKE SURE MY KIDS REMEMBER THIS, ONE OF THEM WAS BORN AT THE TIME OF 9/11, IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO REMEMBER THIS DAY, AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT DID TO OUR COUNTRY, AND TO SHOW GRATITUDE TOWARD THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT HAVE TRULY SAVED US ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.>> BUSINESSES DELIVERED APPRECIATION MEALS ACROSS THE SOFTWARE TODAY.>>> VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP TOOK A PAUSE IN THEIR CAMPAIGN TO HONOR 9/11 VICTIMS.>> HOURS AFTER MEETING ON THE STAGE, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS MEET AGAIN , OR A SOMBER MOMENT, HONORING THE VICTIMS OF TERROR ATTACKS.

IS NEARLY 3000 PEOPLE WERE KILLED ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001.

TWO PLANES CRASH INTO THE PENTAGON, ONE - - TWO PLANES CRASHED INTO THE TWIN TOWERS.

ONE CRASHED INTO THE PENTAGON, AND THE FOURTH CRASHED INTO A FIELD AFTER PASSENGERS REGAINED CONTROL FROM HIJACKERS.>>> I WANT TO START YOU OFF WITH THE WEATHER, THE WIND STARTS TO SLOW DOWN TOMORROW, ALTHOUGH THE POOR AIR HOLDING CHIPS AROUND.

THE LINE FIRE AND THE RICH FIRE OR CAUSING AIR-QUALITY ALERTS, WE WILL BE CHECKING THICKER SMOKE.

IF YOU SMELL THAT SMOKE, THAT IS AN INDICATOR TO AVOID GOING OUTSIDE.

WE ARE DROPPING TO A LOW OF 59 AT OCEANSIDE BORREGO SPRINGS, DROPPING TO THE 60s.

WE HAVE COOL AIR SINKING FURTHER TO THE SOUTH AND SPREADING TO THE USE, WE ARE STILL CHECKING THE STRONG WIND HEADED INTO THE END OF THE WEEK.

THE AVERAGE THE LOWER, DECREASING THE COOLING DEMAND, YESTERDAY WE HAD THAT EXTREME HEAT WAVE IN LOS ANGELES.

CLOSER TO SAN DIEGO, A HIGH OF 76, BORREGO SPRINGS IS REACHING A HIGH OF.

YOUR OUTLOOK LOWER CLOUDS ON MONDAY, INLAND WE ARE DROPPING DOWN TO THE 70s, FOR THE MOUNTAINS, KAISER IN THE 60s.

FOR THE DESERTS, WE CONTINUE TO DROP, 96 ON SUNDAY, 88 ON MONDAY, THAT IS A SIGH OF RELIEF.>>> TONIGHT, HOW THE HARRIS-TRUMP DEBATE COULD AFFECT THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION.

THAT IS COMING AFTER EVENING EDITION ON KPBS.

>>> BEFORE WE GET TO THE FINAL STORY THIS EVENING, HERE IS A LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE WORKING ON.

AS GLOBAL WARMING MAKES COCOA EXPENSIVE, A GERMAN COUPLE IS WORKING ON A TASTY CHOCOLATE SUBSTITUTE.

AND KPBS MID-80s AND HAS A ROUNDUP OF ARTS AND CULTURE NEWS IN THE WEEKEND PREVIEW.

WE ARE DOING AN ONGOING SERIES ON CINDY AKINS WHO VOLUNTEER IN UNUSUAL WAYS.

OUR VIDEO JOURNALIST VISITED TWO WOMEN IN LEMON GROVE, WHO WANT TO TRANSFORM THE CITY INTO A BE POLLINATING CITY.

>> THIS IS JULES, WITH THE BUSY BEE GARDEN CO-OP.

WE INVITED FOLKS OVER, WE HAD A VIDEO FOR SOCIAL MEDIA THAT WENT VIRAL.

>> I LOVE I LOVE BEES.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE DID IN APRIL OF LAST YEAR.>> HERE DOING OUR BIG YARD OUT ON CITRUS STREET.

IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BUSY BEE GARDEN CO-OP IS, IT'S A GROUP OF NEIGHBORS WHO GO TO EACH OTHER'S HOUSES, WE REDO THE FRONT YARDS WITH POLLINATOR PLANTS.>> WE HAVE A FUNNY ORIGIN STORY.

I MET CHELSEA, SHE HAD POSTED ON FACEBOOK THAT SHE WAS LOOKING FOR CANDIDATES TO GROW NATIVE POLLINATOR PLANTS IN THEIR YARDS.

SHE HAD THREE PLANTS TO GIVE, SHE WANTED TO ENGAGE, I WANTED TO ENGAGE WITH MY COMMUNITY, SO I VOLUNTEERED TO JOIN HER GROUP.

IT WASN'T EXACTLY A GROUP, IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE, AND EXPERIMENT, ALMOST.

I REACHED OUT TO HER, BECAUSE I GOT AN IDEA, I SAID BASICALLY HEY, I RUN A LOT OF SOCIAL MEDIA, WHAT IF WE TAKE YOUR IDEA AND GROW IT EAGER?

INSTEAD OF YOU JUST GOING AROUND COACHING EVERYONE INDIVIDUALLY ABOUT THESE NATIVE PLANTS, WHICH WOULD BE A LOT OF WORK AND TIME, INSTEAD WE WORK TOGETHER TO PUT POLLINATORS IN EACH OTHER'S YARDS.

I THINK THAT'S THE REASON WHY BUSY BEES HAS BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL.

IN ORDER TO GET YOUR OWN YARD DONE, YOU HAVE TO VOLUNTEER ONCE.

PEOPLE GET TO FEEL WHETHER THIS LIKE TO GIVE BACK TO THEIR NEIGHBORS, AND HOW FULFILLING THAT IS.

WE ARE A SMALL TOWN, BUT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE A BIG CONSERVATION IMPACT, WE ARE PUTTING IN PATCHES ALL AROUND TOWN, POLLINATOR PATHWAYS CRUISING FROM ONE TO THE NEXT.>> WE ARE SO HAPPY, THE BUSY BEES HAVE BEEN WONDERFUL PARTNERS IN THE LEMON GROVE SCHOOL DISTRICT, PARTICULARLY WITH THE PROJECT THAT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HAD TO REBUILD THE GARDEN FROM SCRATCH.

>> THE PATHWAY TO SAN ALTOS, THE BUSY BEES HELPS TO BEAUTIFY THAT AND REALLY BRING IT BACK TO LIFE, IT'S THE PATH OUR KIDS TAKE BACK TO SCHOOL, OUR CHILDREN ARE WORKING WALKING PAST BUTTERFLIES AND BEES, NATIVE PLANTS, IT JUST BRINGS A SENSE OF JOY AND CONNECTEDNESS TO ONE ANOTHER.

>> IN ADDITION, WE HAVE BIG GOALS OF TURNING LEMON GROVE INTO BE POLLINATORS, A B CITY.

WE HAVE THE ONLY GARDEN THAT IS A CERTIFIED NATIVE HABITAT BY A WILD ONES, THEY ARE PROVIDING THE GRANT.

>> IN THE BEER GARDEN AREA, THAT WAS ALL A BUSY BEE PROJECT.

>> AGRICULTURE IS WHAT WAS HERE, AGRICULTURE.

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.>> SO IMPORTANT ON MANY LEVELS, NOT JUST BUTTERFLIES, BEES, AND ALL THE CRITTERS.

>> BRINGING US TOGETHER, IT'S SUPERPOWERFUL.>> IT'S TIME TO SHINE.

>> STARTING WITH YOU GUYS.

>> THAT'S THE KIND OF BUZZ ANYBODY CAN GET BEHIND.

YOU CAN FIND ALL OF TONIGHT'S STORIES ON OUR WEBSITE.
