And then the stairs would burst back into flames. You hit it as hard as you can and then you find out later that you left people inside. Then came the recovery effort by firefighters and Alameda County sheriffs deputies. The depth that you were waiting in a times waist high with burn and semiburnt materials. Almost instantly he saw the nine bodies initially reported, it appeared they were overcome by smoke. It truly affected people emotionally. Obviously, the families are , i cannot imagine being a family member. Have kids the same age as the victims. Uses the enormity of it all has not hit him yet, but he knows with experience, it will, and it will hit the others. The Oakland Fire Department right now is reaching out to all those who responded here, especially to those who went inside for the recovery to make sure they are okay emotionally. The department is bringing in outside counselors. There are people who are internalizing this on stuff we maybe not even have considered. Thats why we need to get you know the people out there touching bases with them and look out for them. The First Responders will hopefully find a way to cope with what they saw this past week, but they are unlikely to ever forget it. Students from an Oakland School only blocks from the site of the fire pay tribute today to the victims. A teacher at st. Elizabeth Catholic School says, the fifth and sixth graders came to class monday morning full of questions about the tragedy that unfolded, just about three blocks from their school. Their teacher says the students have spent the entire week trying to understand what happened. Yesterday we had a vigil at the school, our Student Council is collecting money to donate as well. Today we decided we were going to walk over and set prayer flags as well as butterflies with the names of the victims. The students also came to pay tribute to the oakland firefighters, Police Officers, and Alameda County sheriffs deputies who worked in the recovery effort. The deadly warehouse fire has raised questions about what city officials knew about the dangers inside. As ktvu henry lee explains, chop protective services had previously removed , and return the three children belonging to go ship organizer derek ion alamein you and his wife. But it is unclear whether cps shared any information with other agencies. Derek ion almeda and his wife say cps removed their three children last year from the ghost ship warehouse, where they were the main tenants. The same building were 36 people died in a devastating fire. The family was not there when the fire broke out, it is unclear where they are staying now. As the Fire Investigation continues, questions are being raised as to whether officials missed warning signs about the dangers of the warehouse. I visited the Alameda County social Services Agency headquarters in oakland to see if they share their concerns with other agencies, no one was available. A spokeswoman said later, she could not discuss the case because cps records are confidential under state law. But through interviews and Court Records ktvu has been able to piece together some of the conditions inside the warehouse that led to cps involvement. Issues began surfacing last year when the couples son was four and daughters were six and 11. On new years eve, 2014 on said there was an exotic erotic party out of the warehouse. His son reportedly found a condom left behind at that party. I demanded a medical exam for his son and allegedly took out his anger on this man, philippe a lewis, who accused ir slamming the door on his hand. Friends say the warehouse was no place to raise children. Daniel boudreau has told reporters she helped pick up ion kids from school and help aid and feed them, and pick lice out of their hair. Derek was completely in denial, you couldnt have a rational conversation with him at that point. I stood right in front of the building and said, derek this is not safe, your kids are in danger. And his attitude was that i was being hysterical. I instruct that back in fabric, 2015 he asked for a restraining order against the scotia president , shelley maxing, she repeatedly called cps on also accusations and was attempting to have my children taken by cps. That same month, the three children were taken by cps and begin living with relatives in southern california. On facebook, the childrens mother, Micah Allison wrote that the couple had been condemned onbased speculation and slander. She also wrote that her children were being destroyed and forever altered. The family was back together by summer, 2015 after Court Hearing in la. I reached out to children and Family Services and our alleya adelaide said they could not discuss the case. Its unclear cps here and Alameda County opened a new investigation because of the deadly fire. On tran01.

After a marathon surgery this week, the twins emotional mother is calling this moment a dream come true. Ktvu Maureen Naylor was at the hospital today were doctors talked about the delicate procedure to separate the girls. This newly released video chronicles the end of one chapter, and the beginning of another for twoyearold conjoined twins. This past tuesday morning, the little girls were wheeled into the operating room in what is the last time the twins are seen sharing one body. What happened next was a 17 hour long Successful Surgery to separate the girls. And reconstruct their newly individual bodies, using 3d models, the doctors had to figure out which organ went with which girl. The toddlers had separate hearts and lungs, but were joined at the sternum, diaphragm, liver, and pelvis. For us it was a big challenge, but little by little and with the help of a lot of people and we were able to from the top down finally able to separate them. Its been a dream come true. On thursday, it was hard for the twins mother to hold back her emotions. Thank you to all the doctors for believing it has been a long road for these two little girls from antelope, your sacramento. Born at 32 weeks by emergency c section, the twins spent seven months at lucille patricks intensive care unit. Following the surgery, you see one of the twins, ava being carefully wheeled down the hallway for the first time in a bed by herself. Before this milestone was reached, lead surging, gary hartman was concerned about the smaller twin, erica. We were very concerned about her preoperatively. Because she basically kept getting smaller. The more calories we gave her, the bigger have got. He said erica is now recovering even quicker than her big sister. Doctors expect the little girls to spend another month. The hospital before heading home. In the meantime, they are sharing a hospital room, justin separate heads. Tracking the rainout. Has been an off on day of showers and sprinkles all day but it accumulated. I showed you these totals before summer but they bear looking at again. You have over 2 inches over by the lesser francis drake. San francisco just over 1 inch of rain. Redwood city came in just under 1 inch. Its been on all day. We have not had strong dynamics yet, so it is not a typical winter storm and that we have this frontal bassapassage and heavy downpours, just a persistent sort of hose of fact where the moisture is streaming on shore. Not a lot of it, just a missed if you will continues. Thats where we are tonight and with the afternoon commute, thats probably where we will be tomorrow morning on the morning commute. 10 of a wet mystic and of the get go. And then on saturday lights up with stronger dynamics. So we have showers all around Santa Barbara with temperatures in the 50s. It has warmed up, but those that missed it is persistent. Theres the fire house i was talking about. You can see here it is focused in here. So here there is not much organized, but see this little badly right here . That is saturday. That has something to it with a little operator support. In the meantime friday looks like today but with less rain. Its not real organized. Saturday is the best bet for something, that is going to be late friday night into saturday morning. Saturday afternoon it will clear out. So 8 am tomorrow morning thered is the morning commute kind of like it is outside right now. Then the afternoon commute, kind of like it is right now. Now we get into it, right there, saturday morning 4 am5 am it is going on. That little curly cue comes on shore with dynamics that pop. The model tends to progress it through as well. So one friday afternoon it looks like we may get some breaks, except in the mountains where you may see some significant snowfalls from them. Then we get a little break on sunday, at least according to do this computer model. Sunday morning was the valley fog and Sunny Afternoon i think it will be mostly dry. So as we move forward tomorrow kind of a break if you will, not as much rain as we got today. But it is jackets, umbrellas, and drive slow because it will be misting. Saturday morning, before lunchtime on saturdays when all the wet should be happening. That will be the real deal and it will be over with by noon. Heres the five door forecast. We are in good shape in terms of snowfall. So far the hits keep coming because after this five day just wrote five moran and you will see a very similar pattern. Like a week and a half of wet weather . I would think so yes. The pattern is progressive. I think we will be seeing often on wet weather. It was a drizzly kind of drippy day today, is it going to be heavier drops . Saturday will be better. But we did get accumulations, and tomorrow we will get the same kind of day, but less accumulation. Dozens of local and federal law officers descended on the south bay target store today, but this was not a police raid. For several hours this morning the target store marketplace in san jose was turned into a trip to santas workshop. The Silicon Valley shop with a Cop Foundation paired officers from 22 bay area agencies with 100 children. Organizers say in some cases, this is the childrens only holiday experience. We are trying to humanize the person, the officer behind the badge to show children that Police Officers are good people, and we have to rebuild that trust. It seems to be weighing in the cost in this country. I really do enjoy the interactions with kids. So i think i still have a lot of that. I think it is something i would like to continue through my careeracareer so im always reminded of that, but theres always so much good in this world. The children were given 150 gift cards to buy holiday president sapresents for themselves and family members. In addition to shopping, the kids got to take holiday pictures with st. Nick. We set this last week, we will say again this week. 49ers have a shot at getting a win this week or this time they are hosting the new york jets and the rookie quarterback for it mark will tell us what he had to say about playing the 49ers coming up in sports. Hi, its me. [imitates fanfare] lois prices from Grocery Outlet. Hi, its. The rest of us hey there. Hi hey.

Why not start with the warriors who are in progress and making it look good again. Backto back they took care of the clippers last night. Check this action now, Kevin Durrant was the block. He gets the ball rolling and the warriors at that point leading 124 and it will continue. Steph curry out of the corner could not hit a three to save his life. He got knocked over, that is a fourpoint play with the bow shock, and the beat goes on. This guy is just playing such great defense. Green starts this with the fifth and clay with a 360 move, beautifully done. You go, but you have to check this one out. More from steph curry tries to draw the foul here. Throw it up and of course it will go in. I like the harlem golda globetrotters 4320 in the second quarter. Watch the replay, behind the back he gets hit and throws up the shot and it goes up. Ken was saying it, we did predict that the 49ers would be able to go to chicago and pull out a win, they did not. This week, again we predict the 49ers will win against the team that is just as bad as they are, although the jets are three and nine. They will start secondyear quarterback rice patty out of baylor. He was okay last week 11 out of 25, 135 yards passing, as he replaces ryan fitzpatrick, who could not get anything done against the colts. Here is the young quarterback, petty talking about facing the 49ers. For me this is an awesome opportunity. One doing that, but to just i get to contribute and help my team in any way i can, and i hope that really high on my priority list. That is number one is to win. So im going to do all i can to win in San Francisco and the rest will take care of itself. As ive said many times before, theres always a time and place in sports. This probably wasnt it.
