Eagle, 46 miles from truckee, pretty cold there. I saw 42 degrees. Probably close, with a lot of 30s and 40s. Temperatures are mainly in the 40s, a lot of high clouds streaming in in advance of this system. A front will be here tonight and we have a west southwest wind with a lot of high and mid level clouds. Mostly cloudy today, cloudy tonight, and rainfall looks light, just a couple hundredths to a tenth of an inch. Temperatures are on their way down after yesterdays 70s and 80s, upper 60s and low 70s today. A lot of thick fog in santa rosa and napa, a lot of 40s out there. Cloud cover will continue to roll in throughout the day and temps will struggle to get into the low 70s for many. Maybe tonight that system can hold together with some light rain. 60s and 70s for the highs. Couple things we can get to with sal. The east bay, steve. I want to mention i80 is open, just in case you went to bed and didnt know if it would be open. Its a normal commute there. Highway 4 is slow from antioch to bay point because of an earlier crash that blocked several lanes. They are clearing the remnants of that. 80 is slow through richmond. Richmond bridge, had slowing there. Bay bridge is backed up for 20 minutes. Again, things are looking more normal. Yesterday evenings commute wasnt like that as you know. This is the 880 in hayward and 280 is kind of a mess, an accident at highway 17. Still very slow with that. Usually not this slow. If this is your commute, you need an extra 10 to 20 minutes to stay on schedule. Back to the desk. Yesterdays huge fire in crockett is now over and i80 is open again. Sara zendehnam is in crockett now with more on what its like out there this morning. Reporter we are getting a better look at the aftermath of this fire here. The watering has stopped. They were watering and spraying foam but thats stopped now. You can see the crumpled remains of the tanks there, blackened because that fire was raging so hot. The biggest question is how did the fire start at the selby terminal. Osha is involved and will be on site. We reached out for details and we are waiting to hear back. The fire started tuesday afternoon. Video shows the intense flames at the facility. Two tanks were destroyed by the fire and two others were damaged but functional. Last night all operations and all shipments of products in and out of the facility were stopped. The fire sparked a 15acre getation fire but cal fire got that under control before it spread o much. This was really close to 80 and it was shut down for hours, but reopened late last night. Cummings highway is still closed as emergency vehicles are using that to access the facility. In a News Conference last night, the chief was asked about how prepared they are to deal with a major fire. This refinery does not have its own Fire Department or fire brigade. They have fixed equipment at the scene in case of such an emergency, large water appliances and such. So in cases such as this, it can be used to help keep the fire from spreading. Reporter in a Statement Last night, the company said there were two impacted tanks holding ethanol, less than 1 capacity. All personnel are safe and accounted for. We reached out for updated information and we are waiting to hear back. Like i said, the sun is starting to come back and were getting a better look at the damage caused. You can see the charred hillside because of that vegetation fire sparked after the fire at the facility. And down at the facility there, you can see the remains of those tanks and a lot of foam left there as well. So quite a mess to be cleaned up, and a lot of emergency vehicles are still down there on the scene. This will be a long process and osha is one of the many agencies that are investigating. Sara zendehnam, ktvu news. Before you go, whats the air like . Reporter well, its a little foggy, a little cloudy, i would say. But you can really smell the smoke.

Your signature is to have a plan for everything, except this. I want to give a reality check here to elizabeth. I want to start with senator warren.

Sal, i know you came back. That shutdown of 80 affected most of the east bay commute. It did, and just reminds me how fragile it is. If one freeway goes down, everyone is on the other freeways and the side roads were jammed. We dont have a lot of extra capacity out there so that affects everything. This is the burning near the tank, near i80 just west of it. You can see some of the freeways were completely shut down. This is what it looked like last night, just a horrible mess. Coming in last night was kind of necessary to help guide you through the mess. But right now 80 is open, in case you went to bed and didnt realize what would happen. When i got here this morning it was open. Its been open the whole time and its been a normal commute. This is a look at the bay bridge.

So well have to figure that out. First of all, lets go and take a look at the westbound bay bridge. Traffic here is going to be okay. Its backed up for about 25 minutes, no problems there. The traffic here looks okay. If youre on 880 north, its crowded approaching the coliseum getting up to the downtown oakland area. Highway 4 is getting some relief. The accident that was at bay point near the willow pass exit is clear but its slow back to antioch. 80 is slow. 880 is slow all the way to fremont. 280 has been slow, northbound slow from where 280 begins there and all the way through downtown because of an earlier accident.

At one point during the operation, we ran out of foam or there was an interruption in the foam supply, and water took the foam blanket and opened it up, exposing the product to oxygen.

They say its safe and have checked with air hospitals, and didnt hear of any reported increase in people going to the emergency room because of concerns with breathing problems. Again, this was prompted by the fire at the two tanks at the nustar facility near nothing like that. There was an explosion and some thought it was an earthquake around 1 00 yesterday. Sirens alerted people in the surrounding areas about the shelter in place orders and people were told to stay in, close doors and windows and shut off acs and heaters. Last night the air quality measurements were given the all clear and that order was lifted. We are taking continuous measurements and spot measurements at different locations around the community. Measurements being taken by the Health Services hazmat team are showing that we have safe levels of air quality. I dont know what kind of gases were in the air, so i just wanted to get out.

Im gasia mikaelian. We are looking at Emergency Responders giving us and update on the latest developments from the nustar fire in crockett that happened yesterday. Looks like we are about to hear from contra costa fire. Im steve hill, fire Public Information officer. The headlines overnight are the fires that burned yestery afternoon and well into yesterday evening are both out. We are continuing to make sure we dont have a recurrence of the fires this morning and throughout the day. Ill explain what that means in a moment. San pablo avenue is completely open in both directions. We are about to open within the hour, cummings highway that were on here. That will open in the next hour. You may be able to see in the background that we have a team in the facility now assessing it. They got in at first light and assessing the situation in the light. We have six fire apparatus on the scene right now. Two are being provided by pmao, thepetrol mutual association. The other four engines and crews are from crockett, carquinez Fire Departments and the rodeo Fire Protection district. They will remain on the scene until the situation is completely mitigated and there is no threat of recurrence of the fires. We dont know exactly when that will be. The job will be to keep those foam blankets on top of the two where the fires were, the tanks that were destroyed, to be sure we dont have a rekindle of those fires. One thing the team in the facility right now is doing is they are looking at a solution to mitigating the vapor emissions coming off both of those where the tank locations we. What happened is the two tanks that burned were more or less destroyed in the fires. And the secondary containment facilities around those tanks are now holding the remainers of the materials that were in the tanks, which is ethanol in both cases. We are keeping foam on both of those to ensure we dont get a rekindle. Theres no longer a need to pull the adjacent tanks, which we were doing yesterday. Another thing the Assessment Team is doing along with nustar, determining how to remove the materials in both of those secondary containment structures, which will mitigate the risk of fire. We are also examining the infrastructure to see what the possibilities are in terms of removing those materials, pipes and valves and things that were damaged in the fire. We talked a lot yesterday about adjacent tanks that we were concerned about, their Structural Integrity and exposure to fire and flames. We are examining in particular. We have concerns about its ructur integrity. We believe its safe and we want to be absolutely sure. So they are looking at that one tank right now. The rest of the tanks we have determined they maintained their Structural Integrity. Calosha is on the scene with that Assessment Team and making determinations about the next step. I expect soon after this update, ill probably get an update from that team and well do at least one more update later this morning. The fire is under investigation and at this time the Fire Investigation unit is completing that investigation. I imagine there will be other agencies involved but its a little bit early for that right now. I anticipate youll probably have questions about the cause of the fire and all that, but the answer is going to be, as youve heard, its too early to know. The fire is under investigation. Overnight there was one firefighter who sustained minor injuries. He was treated and released. He was a chevron firefighter. And he was treated by chevron and released. With that, i will take questions. I dont know the extend of his injuries. They were related to the heat of the fire. Reporter was this fire something you prepare for . Its not every day you have something of this magnitude. We always plan and prepare for the unexpected, but id be hardpressed to say we were expecting this to happen yesterday. We plan with our Industry Partners, as the viewers probably know, we have a lot of oilrelated infrastructure across contra costa county. It was crockettcarquinez Fire Department working closely with Industry Partners doing training and preparing for various scenarios, including a fire, which of course we had yesterday. So i would say we were well prepared, familiar with the facility, familiar with nustar personnel and working with them. That assisted quite a lot in a rapid response. Listening here to the latest on the massive fire at the nustar facility here. The headline is they dont know what caused the two major fires. And we have learned one firefighter, a chevron firefighter, was injured last night and treated and released. And both fires are officially out. Also firefighters have not left the scene. There are six agencies still there making sure there are no flareups. There were concerns about the Structural Integrity of that one tank. It could be quite some time. We didnt hear anything about the earthquake or if they have ruled that out. Good information from the firs News Conference of the day there after that fire at the nustar facility.

Reporter warren has refused to acknowledge what many believe must almost certainlily be true, that her medicare for all plan would require a tax hike on the middle class.
