I actually heard an explosion. Then the fire bursted out of the building. Huge, shooting out of the roof, it was big and it was hot. Waterfront inferno. A massive fire breaks out at san franciscos iconic fishermans wharf. Plus a part of the pier is gone. But firefighters save a piece of american history. Why the ss Jeremiah Obrien was once called the Ugly Duckling will be remember on this memorial day weekend. Tomorrow will be hot. But all this talk about excessive hi hot, that starts monday and lasts most of next week. Good evening, im juliet goodrich. And im brian, we begin tonight with the big fire at fishermans wharf. Firefighter wills be there throughout the night to monitor hot spots. Flames erupted before dawn and took seven hours to put out. The fire started inside a warehouse, the size of a football field. On a back end of pier 45. It was mostly used to store fishing gear and it was used as a parking lot. Nearby workers say what was a small fire spread quickly in less than five minutes the whole building was in flames, pouring black smoke into the Early Morning sky. Fueled by flames that shot about 100 feet high. I actually heard an exmotion, then the fires bursted out of the building. All i heard was a big old bang. And it made it loud because of the warehouse, the echo. Huge, shooting out roof itas big an t on what caused it. One firefighter was hurt but is okay tonight. Theres some good news, two fire boats helped save the ss Jeremiah Obrien. The world war ii warship docked next to the warehouse where the fire started. Its my professional opinion that without the bill we would have lost the Jeremiah Obrien. Its a miracle firefighters were able to save the historic ship. Especially on memorial day weekend. We were at the scene and talked to the ships captain. Reporter behind me in the distance, the ss Jeremiah Obrien. Theres no damage to the ship tonight. The captain of the investing showed us new video showing just how close the flames were to the ship. As firefighters kept a close eye on the smoldering, mangled mess, the captain of the Jeremiah Obrien shot this video hours after and collapsed the ure talking 35 oudegree fire. Will u. S. S jeremiah is a danger. Firefighters doused the warehouse with Water Cannons from the Saint Francis fire boat. Our aggressive and quick swift actions saved historic Jeremiah Obrien. They knew they couldnt save the peer structure, but they knew they had to save the ship. 2700 of the civilian ships were built during world war ii to deliver ammunition and weapons including tanks. She survived it all. Trips across the north atlantic, german u boats. She had multiple trips across the English Channel during the invasion of normandy. It was that close to being a lost piece of history. You see entire steel girders melted and thats 75 feet from the ship. If were looking for one positive to come out of this tragic event, saving a historic world war ii vessel at the beginning of memorial day weekend is something we should all be proud of as a community. Shes always had a reputation of being the lucky Jeremiah Obrien or the lucky ship. When the ships were launched in the 40s. President Franklin Delano roosevelt called them the Ugly Ducklings. They were built cheaply and quickly but he added these ships would help bring a new kind of liberty to people of the world and firefighters today helped save a piece of american history.

In order to reopen, they can only sell alcoholic drinks to go if they partner with a meal provider the other option is to sell sealed bottles of alcohol.

Countdown to our hot, hot weather, heres darryn. Juliet, this temperature, this forecast will be all about the numbers, not only how high temperatures will go but just as important, how long theyre going to stay there. So lets start by showing yod f4 in con a pr wout mpure mid to upper 80s. 90s tomorrow. Low to mid 50s. I want to take a moment here. As impressive as the daytime highs are are going to be, its the morning lows that should be considered. These are fine. By wednesday, when were in the middle of this heat wave, many numbers will be staying in the low to mid 60s. Pretty warm over night. So were not going to get as much as a cool down in the over night hours as would help. Lets get back to daytime highs. Mid to upper 80s tomorrow. Palo alto 85. Santa khaira 87. East bay, low 90s. Concord 91. Livermore at 90. Walnut creek is going to 90. Dont get me wrong, tomorrow will feel hot. But its just the beginning. Temperatures in the mid 80s for the north bay. Oakland youll top out at 79. Santa rosa is going to 90. As will much of the far north bay. Concord going to 91 tomorrow. Heres why, monday and next week are really the issue. Now thats concord. At 102. For daytime highs on tuesday and wednesday. The morning lows are going to the mid 60s. And the arch high would be 78. Lets do this now for san jose. 98 is the daytime high. 76 would be normal. Oakland, 90degree day. On tuesday, 68 would be the average. And if we keep going with this trend, theres san francisco. And mid 80s probably looks good now compared to the low hundreds we were looking at. But mid 80s for the city, thats going to be hot. Lets use tuesday. If we take the daytime highs for san francisco, oakland, santa rosa, san jose, and concord and compare the numbers with where the records are for those days, and now we look at this and point out the differences and a story pops out. Look at san jose, santa rosa, and concord, the three inland locations on here will be breaking the record on tuesday. If youre in and around the bay, its still going to be hot, but you won be record breaking hot. This will really be felt inland. Concord, i know 13 degrees above the record is impressive. But theres a caveat for this. The records for concord only go back to the late 90s. Its not hard to shatter a record. So theres that sevenday forecast, remember i said its about the duration as well as how hot its going to get. And if youre looking for the good news, look at friday, thats how long its going to take. We have a much better looking weekend once we get through the next coming week, but lets start preparing ourselves for the first good heat wave of the year, over to you.
