the job of a firefighter has always been a competitive field, but as departments work to increase their diversity, they're actively trying to recruit more women. >> over the weekend the berkeley fire department hosted a special camp to give young women a hands-on demonstration what the job really involves. john ramos has the story. >> reporter: they used to be firemen and now they're firefighters because history has taught us when it comes to being a first responders, ability matters more than gender. >> i was definitely not expecting this. i was more expecting like a class environment. >> reporter: if areliil gareto thought she was spending the weekend in a classroom, she got

a surprise when she found herself dressed in full turnouts and climbing a 30-foot ladder. >> i got to a place where i started to panic and was going to stop, but i told myself i could do it and i came here for a reason, yeah. >> reporter: she's one of three dozen young women invited to first in fire camp sponsored by the berkeley fire department. the purpose was to recruit more women to the fire service, but the first challenge is convincing them that they can do it. >> a lot of the firefighters, either your dad, brother or uncle did it, too. a lot of times if you don't physically see it as a woman or as anybody, you may not know that's something you can do. that's what we're trying to explore here is like this is doable. these are some of the skills. this is how you can practice, get better. it's just the introduction. >> reporter: that introduction included hands-on instruction in the use of a chainsaw, proper technique for exiting a building onto a ladder, basic emergency medical skills,

including cpr and splinting injured limbs. none of it was easy, especially for beginners, but the positive reinforcement from the veteran firefighters, most of them women, helped a lot. >> i think the women that are in our fire service go out to do those recruitings and then they see the real life example and this is another one where it's real life example of them teaching them what to do, that they are getting motivated. >> reporter: london price seemed pretty motivated. realizing she could lug a heavy firehouse up and down two flights of stairs may have rekindled a desire to become a firefighter. >> when i was younger, i thought about it only because i got hyper fixated on a firefighter. i thought that's going to be me, but then it died. now it is me. >> reporter: they say people come to the fire service for different reasons. for arelli it is a desire to help people in need, including her own parents. >> i'm glad i came here. i've learned a lot of things. i definitely learned i do want to make this into a career. it

would mean a lot for me, but mostly a lot for my parents because they came here with nothing and i want to give them everything they gave me. >> reporter: this would mean a lot to them as well as to yourself. >> yeah. >> reporter: the goal is to get more young women into the firefighting academies. these camps help them understand they do belong there. >> props to those girls going up that ladder. >> they can do it all. >> women make up only about 14% of the berkeley fire department staff. >> they've held the annual fire camp for we since 2017. up next, a long cleanup ahead in the central u.s. after more than 100 tornadoes are reported in a single day. we'll show you what residents are facing. straight ahead in sports, moraga born, raised, st. mary's gaals basketball star has joined the ncaa champs.

communities across the central u.s. are picking up the pieces after a string of deadly tornadoes. in sulphur, oklahoma, a tornado packing winds of at least 140 miles an hour and more than 100 tornadoes reported in six states friday alone and on saturday and sunday. the storms have killed at least five people so far. >> you come upstairs and see that you have no house emerging from the basement. you know, you're home, but you're homeless. >> crews in oklahoma are working around the clock to restore power to impacted areas, but residents say it could be weeks, maybe even months before things get back to normal. >> those images are so heartbreaking, paul. you've seen just how fast those tornadoes can come through towns and decimate everything. >> those things were moving

friday and saturday, both the national weather service office in omaha and national weather service office in norman, oklahoma, setting records for the number of tornado warnings each issued, first omaha friday and norman saturday. those are places that get tornadoes. this was extreme even for that part of the country. >> they're just lucky enough to get out because they were moving so fast. our weather is the complete opposite of that. >> we're so lucky. >> it's just great outside. if you like warmer weather, good news. if you like cooler weather, good news there as well. let's look at the rest of this workweek. in the short term not much change tomorrow, plenty of sunshine all week, but temperatures after one more day of near average tomorrow, we'll go above average wednesday, thursday, friday. then a big change as we head into the weekend. temperatures will drop off and we even have a decent chance of showers this weekend, the exactly normal for the first weekend in may. we'll

get to that momentarily. we'll look at today's observed high temperatures looking out towards the santa clara valley, san jose up to 72, made it up to 77 degrees in san jose, 60s in fremont and san francisco, upper 50s along the coast to half moon bay, very similar readings in store by tomorrow afternoon after we start off on the cool side, 2 to 4 degrees below average for tomorrow morning's low temperatures, 40s pretty much across the entire bay area. we should warm up efficiently. i don't think we'll have much fog to start the day, low 70s once again, low to mid-70s inland in the east bay. fremont should get close to 70 degrees and just short of 70 down the peninsula at redwood city, just short of 60 along the coast. mid- to upper 60s in oakland, north bay reaching the low to mid-70s. you have a good chance of hitting the upper 70s and low 80s wednesday, thursday, and friday. then the change kicks

in. let's talk about the rain chance, looking at two major long range forecast models. we do this whenever a system is pretty far down the line to get a sense of the range of possibilities. the range of possibilities is vast. saturday's simulation from the two forecast models, american model says it's going to be wet, moderate to occasionally heavy rainfall in the forecast saturday while the european forecast model says maybe a couple passing showers, a few sprinkles late saturday afternoon into the evening while the american forecast model keeps the rain going even with lingering showers on sunday. which one is right? the reality is likely somewhere in between. we run these models dozens of times to get what we call an ensemble solution to get the production of the dozens of model runs. at this point the range of possibilities is still all over the place. it's a good chance of rain for early may, specific

amounts, anywhere from less than a 0.1-inch of rain to a half inch of rain in the higher elevations in the north bay. i would not make any adjustments to outdoor plans based on a way out there chance of rain in early may, but it's a chance of rain in early may. we'll keep you updated. enjoy the warm weather while it's here around 80 degrees for inland parts of the bay area wednesday, thursday, friday and the big temperature drop as we head into the weekend. temperatures will run below average for the first weekend of may and likely into early next week. temperatures around the bay, should be mid-70s wednesday and thursday and along the coast a modest warm-up, low 60s for a couple days and kind of raw this weekend, mid-50s for highs by saturday and maybe a degree warmer sunday with the potential of a few lingering showers. >> the coast is going to coast.
