This is new video in of flames from a huge fire at the georgiapacific packaging warehouse in san leandro. You can see how big those flames are. With winds expected to get strocke stronger, firefighters are worried that winds could spark other fires. Abc7 News ReporterAmy Hollyfield is joining us live from san leandro with what it looks like now. The big issue now is the smoke. We pulled into san leandro and wondered what on earth is going on. I think this is something people will notice today. Theres not a building on fire here. There are boxes burning here. This is at the georgiapacific building in san leandro. Firefighters got the call around 10 45 last night. They say it was windy at the time and they were worried that the wind would push this fire to the building or carry embers away and start other fires. Its calm now. They got it under control. This is the georgiapacific company on alvarado street in san leandro. Firefighters say the vegetable boxes that the Company Manufacturers caught fire. Several pallets of them. Those are waxy on the inside, large and thick. So theyre expected to burn all day. No injuries have been reported. No structural damage, no vehicles caught fire, just these boxes, but so much smoke coming out of here. They dont know what started this fire. They do think that they are going to be out here all day. Th while. Live in san leandro, Amy Hollyfield, abc7 news. Thank you. This morning President Trumpses leg legal team is heao court to allege voter fraud in the election. That is not preventing joe biden from getting to work. Overnight joe biden announced a Coronavirus Task force. Three doctors from ucsf are on that task force including dr. David kessler. Hes been named one of three cochairs. Kessler served as fda commissioner from 1990 to 1997. Two other ucsf doctors, Robert Rodriguez and eric goosby are on the board. We can trust a science driven Coronavirus Task force to not spread mixed or rumors about unvalidated studies or unfound cures or treatments that might get peoples hope up for no reason. Then that leads to bad outcomes. Joe biden says he will rely on science when it comes to containing the virus. This morning the biden team is responding to a big announcement before Pfizers Covid vaccine. Data released overnight shows that the vaccine could be 90 effective in fighting the virus. Pfizer says it is on track to file an emergency use application with u. S. Regulators this month. They are encouraged by the study and found the vaccine effective in covid19 without prior evidence of infection. Officials have repeatedly said its unlikely any vaccine will arrive before the end of the year. Initial supplies will be limited. Joe biden released a statement reading in part that america is still losing over 1,000 people a day from covid19 and that number is rising and will continue to get worse unless we make progress on masking and other immediate actions. Thats the reality for now and for the next few months. Todays announcement promises tto change that next year. Pfizers vaccine is one of ten possible candidates in latestage testing around the world. Moderna also hopes to file an application with the fda this month. Thanks.

Kamala harris leaves open a senate seat for us and Governor Newsom is set to replace some wonder if hell go with another bay area leader. Julian glover is live with this political chess game. Hi, julian. Yeah. There is quite the power vacuum thats been created in california now that the Vice President elect Kamala Harris is leaving the senate and heading to the white house. Now governor Governor Newsom has a tough job of selecting a replacement now. Names of prominent politicians, local names, well known in the bay area to statewide elected officials are being floated. A recent poll surveying california voters suggested bay area congresswoman barbara lee and congressman ro khanna were favorites. Both are familiar faces in the bay area and they would be a strong alley for newsom in the senate. Others are suggesting he might suggest a rising star in california like Robert Garcia who would make the first openly gay latino senator from the state or freshman rep katie porter known for grilling ceos in congress. According to a political article, bay area mayors libby schaaf and london breed of San Francisco are also in the mix. The main thing you should look for politically is someone who has been with you in the past and someone you think is going to be with you in the future. In other words, an ally and a voice in washington that you can go to when you need help. And help in your reelection down the line as well. Something else to consider, newsom may appoint someone who currently has statewide office like secretary of state alex padilla or attorney general javier basera because that were allow him to name the next senator and statewide coveted office holder. The lobbying has already started with a flurry of calls and texts to the governor.
