Reporter firefighters have entered the scene in the last 30 minutes. The structure is unstable so they are taking their time because of risk of collapse. They are moving in some plywood here. Experience tells us that they are like look using this to shield whatever it is that they are trying to bring out there. The fear now is that the elderly couple is still inside that structure. All signs point to them still being inside there. Their car is in the garage and the elderly woman walked around with a cane and it was hard for her to move around quickly. It started early this morning. When firefighters got here flames were going 30 feet into the sky. They couldnt enter the building because it was dangerous so they stayed outside to spray water on it and to keep the fire from spreading. Neighbors say that the elderly man sent his 40yearold son out for help. That son is 40 years old. They are calling him joey and they say he is mentally challenged. Heres battalion chief carl rush meyer to say what happened next. We dont know where they are. Thats under investigation. Reporter you can hear the saw at the scene. The light is coming up so investigators are entering the structure now to try to see what happened and if the elderly couple is still inside.

Time for weather now. 6 32, i guess we got to go through a little bit of fog and dew and what not before the big weekend. Yeah. Just a little hiccup. We have a lot of clouds out there now. A weak cold front sliding into the state so the clouds moving into the bay area now. Theres a slight chance we could see some drizzle or some light sprinkles. You see all those clouds sliding through but not the best scenario really to squeeze out much rain. Still, we are looking at it with our kpix 5 highdef Doppler Radar. Cant find any raindrops just yet but that may change. Sunshine and clouds over the bay. Temperatures are running into the 40s and the 50s.

This park will stay open all summer. Come on by and have a good time. Reporter but the levels are so low. How can it stay open . Because we get the water from the city for our bathrooms and our drinking fountains and this is just for recreation. Reporter so thats the reason why Lake Del Valle in livermore which i love to swim in weekly, they are closing. They are just not taking reservations past july 6 for now. They are trying to extend it out as far as they can. Reporter thats because they use their own water for the bathroom needs and yes, the restrooms, drinking fountains, to run the campground, the whole park. Reporter so it depends on each reservoir and each lake individually whether or not there are going to stay open . Exactly. Every park is different in the park district. Reporter so if you want to know if your favorite lake my favorite lake and reservoirs are closing or not, visit us online at kpix. Com. And find out the conditions of your lake levels.

I mean, Energy Efficiency is great. But if you cant afford to drive from here to work, then whats the point . The president is currently in southern california.

Its a serious Public Safety issue and i have defined its as a crime of convenience. If we can end the convenience, we can end the crime. Reporter about 75 of all robberies in San Francisco and oakland are smartphone related. A kill switch can make stolen phones inoperable giving thieves no incentive to steal them t owners could erase their them. Owners could erase their phone inoperable remotely if its lost or stolen. If recovered the owner can turn it on and restore its data. 17 state senators including jim beall from san jose opposed the kill switch bill last time around. I received a lot of comments from battered women centers. They had concerned about the privacy issue and be able to prevent somebody from stalking. Reporter the concern, that abusers may be able to remotely activate the technology. But supporters say a locked phone could still make emergency calls to 911. We caught up with constituents in bealls district who dont like the way he voted. He shouldnt have voted against it. Because, you know, Everybody Needs a kill switch on their phone. Just in case your phone gets lost or stolen people can access your data, your email and , you know, go take it to a store and get it cracked open so i think its a perfect thing to do.

Neighbors tell us that the elderly woman who lived there got around with a cane and could not have jumped out of bed quickly even if she needed to. They say that the father sent his older son out to get help, the son in his 40s, joey, neighbors say he is mentally challenged. Here at the scene, the neighbors tell us that the flames went up quickly. The house was fully engulfed in five minutes and the flames were booming. I could see it from my house which is directly i could see probably maybe two feet of flames from the roof from, you know, not even being near the fire i could see flames in the sky.
