I will sew you the manufactured home behind me where this fire started. It presented a lot of challenges. The fire quickly jumped to the home to the right where you can see. Im told people were moving into that home so nobody was living there at the time of the fire this morning. And then if we move to the left there is also this duplex where you can see firefighters are going through it. The fire spread to that home but im told it was unoccupied. In just a short moment inside the home where the fire started. Let me show you the challenges where they face. Because of the way manufactured homes are built thin walls and many Flammable Materials they pose an extra hazard to firefighters. The floors also give out quickly. The family that lives in the home were able to make it out unharmed. Neighbors awoke to their screams for help and flames shoots into the night sky. They were really high. Everything started off really, really fast. By the time that the second firefighter came, it was from front to back. Reporter christina shared these photos with us. You can see exactly what we are talking about. Large flames. That is what firefighters found when they arrived around 2 30 this morning. The initial home and two surrounding homes on fire. It took them a half hour to get things under control and this morning they plan to be out here for another hour or so at least. Knocking down hot spots. Making sure the fire doesnt flair up. Within the last half hour firefighters tell us they are close to determining the cause of the fire. However, they doll want to talk with the homeowners one more time as they are working to narrow down the cause. It does appear to be accidental at this point.

Lets go back to the desk. Back for developing news. A family escaped a big fire this morning that engulfed their home and two other homes. Firefighters say the fire prevented extra challenges this morning. Katie utehs is joining us from the scene to explain. Reporter i want to update you. We just spoke with firefighters and they have determined the cause of this fire is because the family was using their stove to warm the home. Unfortunately the house burned. The good news everybody made it out okay. Some of the extra challenges presented to firefighters. I will show you this is a manufactured home which is more dangerous for firefighters. The home to the right caught on fire. It is unoccupied. Although there were people in the process of moving in so some of their things were there. Then the home to the left that sun occupied as well. It also was damaged this morning. Now because of budget cuts, the second engine from station 20 just eight blocks away from our location was unable to respond this morning. However, around 30 firefighters did arrive. Minutes are precious. Especially because manufactured home fires spread quickly and i will show you exactly what firefighters were facing. About a half hour ago firefighters gave us this look inside the home where the fire started. Thin walls and many Flammable Materials they pose an extra hazard to firefighters. The floors also give out quickly. The good news the family that lives in the home were able to make it out unharmed. Over the commotion it woke neighbors around 2 30. I just woke up to a big noise a big ruckus outside. You just hear firefighters. Sot first house that caught on fire was a small house. And when it came outside, they just said that someone was yelling for help. But it was the woman. I also heard that someone was moving in and their things were there. I saw two other houses catching on fire. Reporter neighbors shared these pictures with us of flames shooting into the night sky. Firefighters arrived to a similar scene and it took them a half hour to get the flames under control. As we mentioned, firefighters say that this fire all started because the family who lived here was using their stove to warm the home. Of course i do see an uptake in these fires this time of year as we have the temperatures dipping really low. However, they want to caution people to be careful with space heaters and do not use your oven to warm the home. Katie utehs ktvu channel 2 news. Thank you. Time is 5 35. Oakland police are tracking carjackers that used the stolen cars to commit armed robberies. After a police chase yesterday, the suspects abandoned a toyota sedan.

We spoke with the cars owner who tells ktvu he was very relieverred his car was recovered so quickly since he uses it to give driving lessons. Oakland police say there are reasons to be optimistic when looking at crime statistics. Overall crime is about the same as last year. However there are 45 homicides.
