The East Bay Regional Park District has extended the closures of its hills and inland parks until Sunday morning due to the high fire danger caused by this week's heat wave.

The district said Friday the move comes after the National Weather Service extended its Red Flag Warning through Saturday, meaning dry and windy conditions are expected, leading to extreme fire weather risks.

Swim facilities and shoreline parks will remain open. The district still urges people at the swim facilities and shoreline parks to follow safety rules and tips, including avoiding the hottest part of the day.

The list of closed areas in the park district can be found on EBRPD's website.

In the North Bay, a small Marin County town was getting lots of visitors during our sizzling heatwave. Stinson Beach was seeing huge crowds of those trying to escape extreme temperatures.

Rahsaan McGlashan-Powell packed up the kids and headed for the sand and sea breezes of Stinson Beach, leaving his very hot house behind in Oakland.

"My house was 97 during the day, at night and at two in the morning, it cooled down to 72 degrees," said McGlashan-Powell.

Beating the heat is this weekend's only mission. By noon time on Friday, it was 72 degrees in Stinson Beach.

Getting there wasn't so easy when everyone else had the same idea. By noontime, traffic coming into town was getting messy and may only get worse.

"It's going to be crowded, so if you don't leave early Saturday or Sunday, there's a good chance you're going to stuck for an hour," said John Hyland from Stinson Beach Fire Department.

Evacuation orders have been issued for residents of Lotus Street in Antioch due to a vegetation fire, Contra Costa fire officials said late Thursday night.

Daytime parades and festivities packed the streets around the East Bay. But some busy streets and popular parks throughout the East Bay are closed due to the extreme heat and threat of illegal fireworks. That includes Grizzly Peak, with its sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay, and popular spot to watch fireworks.

But Captain Chris Toler with the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District says, in addition, closing poplar hiking trails and parks also may reduce the number of possible calls they get to help rescue hikers who get dehydrated. He adds that there are also some other big challenges fire crews face this week.
