They are planning to come back with the letter at 4 p. M. But the union says its stance remains the same. We are a very proud institution and we want to serve the public to the best of our ability and we feel were not able to do that right now so were trying to regain our footing and make San Francisco proud again. Thats our goal. Reporter the letter is signed by leaders of every faction of the union and the history of the San FranciscoFire Department that has never happened. It calls for the department to return to levels of excellence which, quote, can only happen with the change in our current leadership. Will you resign . Im not at this point thinking about resigning. Reporter one of the complaints, dangerous ambulance response times more than an hour in some cases because of a lack of equipment and personnel. The chief and mayor say things are Getting Better after more rigs were put on the street and more emts were hired. I have confidence in the chief and we are working very hard particularly on this ambulance time. Do you think there is something more to this than just ambulances . People are not happy with doing things differently than my predecessors have done in disciplinary matters but its the right thing to do in this day and age. Reporter at least nine Union Representatives will be here at city hall this afternoon calling for an interim temporary leadership mechanism be put into place immediately. Live in San Francisco, anne makovec, kpix 5. Hayeswhite has been with the Department Since 1990 and has been chief for more than 10 years. San Mateo High School cancelled all classes today due to an odor of natural gas. School Officials Say some Staff Members detected the smell in three areas of the school. Pg e came out last night but was unable to identify the problem so as a precaution the district cut all gas to the campus while its own engineering crew inspected the natural gas system on the campus. The district notified students and the families by email and by telephone last night but some didnt get the message. I showed up. I get here, theres no school. The teacher said theres a gas leak. To err on the side of caution to ensure the comfort of our students, without gas lines you dont have hot water and heat and food service and we notified them last night that there would be no school.

We had the drizzle of course but we have some real rain coming our way so im excited about that. It looks like this storm system slowly working down the california coastline and that it is on our hidef doppler radar. Impressive rainfall so far up toward Crescent City and eureka.

It is muggy and warm out there. 71 in San Francisco. 73 degrees in san jose. In the afternoon the clouds will be on the increase.

Everybody meets each other and hopefully maybe gets married and has a baby. Reporter its like match.

Reporting from capital avenue in San Francisco, roberta gonzales, kpix 5. Bears in yosemite are getting bolder every year wandering into campsites in hopes of finding food.

When you pick it out, the first thing to look for is a nice green top right here. You dont want to see any yellowing. And then with the stalk, the thinner stalk will actually have a much more tender flavor. The thicker the stalk, the woodier it will become. When you bring broccoli home, you want to make sure you store it in the refrigerator. When it comes to cooking it, you can eat it raw but if you want to dull down the flavor a little because its pretty strong, blanche it, very quickly, for just a few minutes. If you want to steam your broccoli optimal time is 7 minutes. That way you get the steaming quality but you hold on to it nutritional value which is very high. And to add some acidity squeeze lemon on it. Im Stephanie Tantillo with your tip of the day. New at noon park rangers at yosemite are going hightech to track some black bears. More and more bears are looking for food at campgrounds. And thats that puts people in danger and makes the animals less wild. So if a bear is caught going through a picnic basket it will get a new gps collar. That way park rangers can better monitor the animals throughout the park and keep bears and people safe. And some folks in bakersfield were forced to stay inside their homes for a few hours yesterday after five bears wandered into the city. The bears were tranquilized by the fish and wildlife officers there who took the bears out of the neighborhood back into the wild. Officials say the drought is drawing hungry thirsty bears into some of the local neighborhoods. Millions of people use social media to post their thoughts and pictures and experiences. Coming up, the new social network hoping to attract users by paying them for each post. And if you have a Consumer Problem or question, call our hotline, 8885helpsu. Volunteers are there right now. Well be right back. But first, heres the mornings bay area jobs reports. Reporter employers dont usually tell a candidate why they did not get the job. Heres what some hr managers say are the most common mistakes candidates make and how to fix them. Amazon has over 550 jobs in the bay area. Amazons head of hiring says that candidates often try to please interviewers by saying they will do anything or they are open to trying. But thats often the wrong thing to say. Employers need assurance that you can do a particular job. Successful candidates make it clear that the job theyre interviewing for is a perfect one and the best match for their skills. One hr manager does a great deal of hiring in San Francisco told me that preparing for an interview, candidates should practice out loud saying three specific examples of their experience that align to the open job. At San Franciscobased kimpton hotels, a growing hotel chain that has openings at 11 Different Properties in the bay area, their head of hr says its often about personality, more than experience. Candidates who are creative and demonstrate a passion for the employers business are more likely to be told, you got the job. Thats a good approach for any job you seek. Im steven greenburg, kpix 5. ,,,, today well get our first look at a new art exhibit on alcatraz. Its called, at large, i weigh weigh, on alcatraz. It will never be able to see his exhibit, because he is still detained in china for being critical of the chinese government. The exhibition is freedom of expression and will be open through april. Well, millions of people they post thoughts, pictures and videos on social media every day. And now a new network wants to pay people for their content. The San Franciscobased startup called bubba looze is doing that a free social media media site that pays a penny for various posts. He got the idea from a facebook idea. We wanted to put a stop to that rather than just have a network thats built up on basically the ideas of other people. We put a lot of time and effort into these videos. So its nice to actually get a little compensation for the work that we do. It says some people have made as much as 10,000 since the site launched two years ago. They are busy. Well, tonight is the season premiere of survivor and its here on kpix 5. Earlier today i talked to the producer and host jeff probst about the contestants and who they will face and how they will win. For the survivors it is truly a butt kicker. Its the biggest test most people will ever do in their life and yet people actively seek it because they want it. They want to get that thing. And i think thats why our audiences like it is you can live vicarious think through other people. Survivor season 29 premieres tonight 8 p. M. On channel 5. Banned from bart. Why some people are not being allowed to ride the trains and how bart police are making sure they dont step on board. That story and more at 5 00. Ditch the umbrellas tomorrow. Tonight and tomorrow morning. Could be messy tomorrow morning so watch us early. Good thing we come in at 4 00. No kidding. Ill be here with my galoshes youll need them.
