Brown was driving 9 nurses to a hotel in foster city who were celebrating the marriage when the back of the limo caught fire. Fauhas was one of the five women who died. Four women made it out by squeezing into the drivers area. Browns estranged wife says they were arguing on the cell phone but his Attorney Says it was not true. Shortly after the tragedy brown told nbc bay area that a passenger smelled smoke. He thought though that she wanted to have a smoke. He smelled it, too. At that point, smoke, smoke, smoke, pull over.

We are in the middle of fire season and conditions are extremely dry, dryer than theyve been in the past three to four years because of the lack of rain this past winter. With those kinds of dry fuels, any kind of lightening could spark a fire even with storms that are somewhat wet. Because of that cal fire has put some of its staff on the lookout at copernicus to have extra eyes. Large potential for increased fire due to lightening. So we keep vigilant. We keep up on our training, physical fitness, those kinds of things that we carry out through the remainder or most or all of fire season.

Nbc bay areas bob riddell is live at santa klara university to explain all. Bob, good morning. This is the house youre talking about. Come on up here, jon. This is the radiant house, something that for the past 18 months students here at Santa Clara University have been making so they can compete. This is put on by the department of energy. 19 other College Teams will be competing. Theyll be judged on basically ten criterion, including how Energy Efficient it is, what kind of materials did you use. For example in here, you look at the insulation. Probably thinking, hey, whats this crazy yellow foam . This is made of soy. If you were to look up to the back, some of the wood is hard to tell from back here, but theyre using bamboo. When this house is completed in a couple of weeks, theyre going to have american clay on this wall. American clay, its good for the air. It filters the air. The whole idea is this house could have a Net Zero Energy when its running off the sun. Brian here is one of the students with the house. Hey, brian. I like the open air feel. Finished in two weeks, thats the idea . Well have the house done in two weeks. Take it down to Southern California for the competition. We invite everybody to come down to see our house. Right here. The house is a smart house which means we can control everything in the house from the lights, you can click on, for example, right now we are standing right about here. Is this the nook . Yes. We can control the lights overhead and completely dim them, change the temperature of them, kind of the feel of the house. But the house is smart because it might say, hey, maybe you shouldnt use lights . Exactly. The house can use sensors. Hey, it might be smarter to open the windows and shades and try to turn the lights on. It does all of that automatically or you can manually control it. As we walk around towards the back, once this is done, you can its a Big Cocktail Party without the cocktails. They have solar panels which are part of the roof. You step back a little bit. Were still a little bit under construction here. We have two weeks to finish it. We will get it done. Hpane. Its a 7. 14 kilowatt array. That provides all the energy needs for the house. The extra energy we feed to the grid. Over the course of any given year we produce any given energy than we use. Im sure youre aware of your 19 other competitors have been posting stuff online. They probably have some tricks in the house that youre not aware of. I assume that you do too . Yes. There is some very cool technology. Some of it youll have to come to the competition to see what it is. Others ill tell you about. We have to roll. Well take a look at it. Best of luck to you. You have a couple of weeks. They have to finish the house. This is kind of the, i dont know, brain of the house. Not something youll see in a normal house. This is supposed to be a new technology. Taking this down to socal for a couple of weeks. Build it, take it apart, reassemble it. Theyll be judged on ten criteria. See you, brian. Jon . Good stuff there. Very good. The new steve jobs movie opened up over the weekend. Scott mcgrew says it is leaving movie goers largely unimpressed. Hollywood accountants werent too thrilled either. Good morning. Jobs came in seventh at the box office. We cant afford to pay three people right now. We cant afford to pay ourselves. Critics generally liked Ashton Kutchers portrayal of the apple founder there, but many movie goers felt the film went over material that was touched on many times before and didnt have much new to offer. Now, apple cofounder wozniak says hes been wrongly quoted as not liking the film. He posted online he did like the film and was entertained. Woz said the film concentrated on the wrong part of jobs life. Woz says the movie ends pretty much where the great jobs finally found the product success. This movie portrays him having had those in the earlier times. It was woz that built the earlier apple. It was jobs that made the apple what it is today. That was much later in his life when he already knew he was sick. Thats when guys who saw the iphone, the ipad, i think that might have been a more compelling story. All right, scott. Thank you very much. Before that wrecking ball crashes down on candlestick park, theres a shot at more compliments of sir Paul Mccartney floated that idea by San Francisco 00vjut ed lee during his recent performance at the outside land.

I think its areas closer to the north gate and mount diablo. Red flag warnings are up north bay, east bay hills, diablo mountains. All the way through red bay. It will take time for the threat to subside. The area of low pressure responsibleh will hold its position through wednesday.
