Rei workers are getting paid to take the holiday, go off with their family and enjoy the outdoors. Many of them say theyre relieved to get this reprieve from the customers and the shopping frenzy. Its amazing. Like, its one of the best things we get for the holiday, not having to deal with all the crazy crowds on black friday. Many of them taking advantage of the time off. Theyre going hiking or utto the snow. You wont just see rei workers on the trail, most offered for state parks are gone. An Organization Called save the redwoods sponsored the program after getting an anonymous donation. Passes for 44 of the parks, i should say, are gone. But as of this morning, only five had free passes left. So, here they are. All of them on the north coast. If you dont have a pass, you can still go to any state park, youre just going to have to pay that normal entrance free. But as many of you head out to enjoy state parks for free later today, park officials are warning you to be mindful of car breakins. While many come to the Beautiful Spots to enjoy natures beauty, thieves like to take advantage of the crowds. Theyre looking inside cars where purses and electronics may be easy to see and steal.

Our crews were the first on the scene. Witnesses say someone could see the flames along interstate 680. That fire spread through 20,000 square feet. Nobody hurt, but emotions still ran high. When i saw the flames as i was pulling up, i did start crying. It is scary. Never dealt with anything that has been related to me. It took crews about an hour to put out the fire. No word on the cause of it. Firefighters do believe it was accidental. In the south bay, flames forced a family from their home. Happened last night in south san jose. Investigators say a heater in the garage ignited the fire. The family managed to get out safely. Two dogs and four rabbits also rescued. And this is nice, some friendly neighbors agreed to take care of their pets. Freezing temperatures moving in with that biting cold wind. This morning, many people trying to seek shelter.

The goal is to get as many people off the streets as possible because of this cold snap and while the homeless shelters here in Santa Clara County dont traditionally open until the end of november, they did open their doors a few days early. And, yet, there will not be enough room for all the people who need to get inside. Were here at the reception center. It has 250 beds. S adults only, but a shelter down in gilroy at the national armory, National Guard armory which also opened during the cold snap there. More than 100 beds for families with children and then another county shelter that will open in december in sunnyvale. At each of these places people can get in out of the cold, sleep inside, get some warm food and a hot shower. That, of course, is short term, longterm and also come to these places for some employment and medical care referrals and such. It was a frosty night last night and it will be another frosty night tonight as another freeze warning goes into effect, as act anthony mentioned, and will continue through 9 00 tomorrow morning. Chances are you dont need the services of a homeless shelter, but certainly help deliver them. On the home first wish list which operates the shelters here in Santa Clara County. They say they could always use donations of money and multiply that to buy services. They can also take your new or gently used blankets or sheets or comforters. They cannot take used clothing but packs of underwear and white tshirts. If you have extra toiletries from any trips that you is taken, you can donate those, as well. Now right now the Santa Clara County homeless advocates are only dealing with the freezing cold temperatures and it is very cold out here. But they know this is just a precursor of what could be a very difficult season as we are expecting a lot of rain with the el nino system. In san jose, kris sanchez, today in the bay.

You have to look for them. Mark explains how the deal days are now transforming. Santa got an early start this year. With holiday deals launching well before the holidays. Amazon really started its christmas strategy this year in the summer. Reporter not only has black friday morphed. I dont think any question that were moving towards a black november. Reporter cybermonday is no longer just one day. Some are calling it cyberweek. Reporter for the first time, the majority of that online Holiday Shopping is hap pg on mobile devices, according to adobi. With expanding promotion periods, it could be tough sorting out the best deals. Making a list and checking it twice can help. Know what you want. And always go and compare at amazon. Thats my big tip. Rorter if youre after a musthave holiday toy, get it before its gone, regardless of the deal. Once you spend the money, if another retailer sells something for less money at a future date, you can often go back and get reimbursed for the difference. Reporter if youre flexible on what you want, procrastination might pay off. If they start to see a weak, theyll throw out some more deals. So, you may find really deep discounts as you get closer and closer to december 25th. Reporter chd could make the Holiday Shopping season even more jolly. So, another tip for Online Shopping.

It allows landlords to raise rents by 8 yearly. Housing activists say thats too much. They like to see a 2 and this rent fight is being closely watched by other bay area cities. We need other towns to step up. But when a big city like san jose does it, it gives the capital necessary to other politicians and smaller towns to get things done on rent control.

Coverage from the ground and the air as crews battle a fire at a restaurant in berkeley. Stephanie chuang live with the latest for us. Looks pretty devastating, steph. Were just off the cal campus off of University Avenue where firefighters are on scene now. Theyre climbing up the ladder to make sure there are no hot spots. I just spoke with the firefighters who said, thankfully, theyve been able to knock this two alarm blaze down. It was going pretty badly, though, in the last hour. It broke out about 5 15 this morning. We have chopper video, in fact, that shows just how tall the flames were going. Smoke is now here, but, again, before there were flames here. It was a very active battle. Im looking inside this mandarin garden restaurant here at 2025 shaddock and it looks completely devastated inside. The good news is the firefighter says they were able to pretty much contain the blaze to this building, saving the ones next to it. This is, of course, very crowded here in Downtown Berkeley. So, a concern always is that the fire can spread very quickly. That firefighters were successful in putting this out. Again, right now, they are checking for hot spots and this restaurant, by the way, if you are in the area or from the area, you may recognize it. According to the website, its been here in Downtown Berkeley for more than 30 years and according to the restaurant owners, the largest banquet hall here in the area. So, could be a very devastating for so many people. Again, inside that im looking in back live here and things are still kind of, theres some embers and things falling down so firefighters have to be pretty careful as they make their way around checking for hot spots. But will continue to be here and give you updates next at 7 25. Live here in Downtown Berkeley, Stephanie Chuang, today in the bay. Thank you, steph. Happening now.
