Four of the injured brought to hospitals. The other two were treated at the scene. No firefighters were among the injured. We are going to have a live report coming up in just a bit. Like a warehouse full of fireworks exploding, thats how neighbors described a brush fire that broke out on oakland road in North San Jose last night. On one side of it, the riverbend mobile home park, on the other side san joses municipal golf course. As firefighters work to put the fire out, all neighbors could do there was just wait and hope the flames didnt reach their homes. Like a warehouse of them going off, really rapid fast and a lot at once like firecrackers. We saw the flames at least i dont know 100 feet in the air started to spread quick and we can feel the heat from where we were standing. In the end, firefighters were able to get it under control before it burned any homes. The captain believes the fire started at a nearby homeless camp. 17,000 people are without power this morning as the butte fire continues to burn.

I saw that starting to move into the bay area about 11 a. M. The National Weather service said no, it wont affect us. How things change. We are still under the influence of this huge dome of high pressure. We also have the blowoff from hurricane linda that brought muchneeded rain to southern california. We could see some higher humidity by the tail end of the weekend due to the remnants of that system but until then, well continue to see the temperatures well above average inland. 101 in santa rosa, another hot day inland.
