That firefighter has recent by released from the Trauma Center and is going to be okay.

Our Fire Department is working with our Housing Development department, Human Services association, and red cross, to make sure that these individuals are afforded proper information, proper services, that will allow them to recover from this incident moving forward. At this time, the building of origin for this fire is being determined by our Fire Investigation task force to be to the rear of 140 14th street. I want to remind you that this is an active Fire Investigation, meaning this will be fluid. This could change within the dynamics of a cause and original were once it is safe for them to get into the footprint to properly evaluate what the point of originallen is, and then what the cause is going to be for this fire, which will come at a later time. With that, i am open for questions. [ inaudible ] so the question was, theres information that there was a mattress fire on the area street side last night. That is correct. We can confirm that there was a mattress fire last night around 11 00 in the evening. That mattress fire was extinguished by Engine Company 6. That was associated to a homeless encampment in that area. Again, that fire was completely extinguished last night by Engine Company number 6 around 11 00, 11 30 in the evening. [ inaudible ] so the question is, is do we believe that this fire was related to the mattress fire . Again, our fire investigators will take that into account, but it is too early at this thi but, again, our fire investigators have that information. They are evaluating what occurred last night, and they will place that into their determining factor as to the cause and origin of this fire.

Reporter he said that crime scene technicians thoroughly photographed the scene after monterroso was shot true the windshield of a police truck, the officer mistaking something in his hand for as a gun. Shame on him for doing what hes done. To place these two employees on leave is nothing less than an outrage, and its demoralizing to the entire department. Reporter but attorney john burris, who represents the family, said the lieutenants have leader ship roles. Rodriguez is head of investigations, and nick oh leeny is president of the police union.

Reporter more than 10 states are seeing an increase in hospitalizations as the spread of the coronavirus accelerates. Floridas department of health is reporting a 23 uptick in hospitalizations among young people, between july 16th and 24th. Health experts say rising cases in this age group could complicate how states approach school reopenings. Its not just necessarily screening the sick and making sure that they stay home, its about improving ventilation. And positive test rates are on the rise in several states including virginia, ohio, and tennessee. The White House Task force is urging officials to mandate mask wearing indoors, and reduce indoor gatherings to less than 10 people.

As more and more counties are put on the governors watch list, more are adopting local masking and distancing laws, trying to strike a balance between letting Public Health needs and people who are not openly defying the rules. Tom joins us with a look at how bay area counties are responding. Tom . Well, by a unanimous vote today, contra costas board of supervisors put real teeth into its mask mandate with a schedule of fines and other problems for antimask laws. Many believe that it is the key to slow down and ultimately stop the spread of coronavirus. When the governor issued a state mandate to essentially wear masks in public places, state law allows Law Enforcement to issue misdemeanor citations which have steep fines and possible jail. However, three of the nine bay area counties, contra costa, marin, and napa, have enacted local rules that are far less harsh than the states. It appears that only a handful of citations have been issued. Were trying to lead with education, so ideally, were not going to sneak up on anybody and smack them with a fine, but give them the opportunity to take corrective action. Reporter sonoma is expected to enact such a law august 6th. Ali, San Francisco, san mateo, santa clara, and solano, have yet to do so. In one we or another, there seems to be a real reluctance to put the hammer down, because common sense and social pressure usually works. Most laws on the books enjoy voluntary compliance. It takes no involvement of any Government Official Police Officer. Former San Francisco Police Officer commander richard car ia, who now heads the institute of cruel justice said in effect the fines and sanctions are a backup for dealing with those who think they dont have to follow the rules. I think Police Officers should look at what risk is presented by the behavior of the person. Reporter but if covid continues to run wild, he said that police may be forced to use less discretion. When the issue becomes enforcement around masks, i think that Law Enforcement officers in california need a clear message from their political leadersing that this is part of the mission, and they would like them to go out and do it. That is what is going to help us slow the spread, get us off the states watch list, so we can resume reopening our economy. Now, each county has exemptions to their general rules, often not requiring masks at home, or masks with household members, in cars, for legitimate medical reasons, for instants or kids under 12.
