Theres a pile of degree that the firefighters pulled from the garage. Thats the area where they believe this fire started. What the fire chief describes out here is nothing short of heartbreaking. Inside this home, four people were living. A mother, father, grandfather and 2yearold child. When firefighters got on the scene, they say the mother was outside screaming to them that her baby was inside. Firefighters got inside, but it did take them a few minutes because they had to cut through a security gate. Once inside, they found the father in the garage. He was down there because he was not feeling well and didnt want to get the rest of the family sick. The fire started there and then the upper floors filled with smoke and intense heat. The house had smoke detectors that were working. They may have woken up a little girl and a grandfather. Do you think she woke up . Probably. Probably woke up and was disoriented or heard noises and went in towards the bathroom. That was my question, too, but she was old enough to be able to walk. Wasnt in a crib. Probably between 2 and 4. Reporter you think make smoke detectors woke her up . Smoke or the smoke detectors. She was out of bad as was the grandfather. Reporter the child was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Firefighters found the fire here on 18th avenue. When they got here i want to take you live to the gate in front of the house. Its a metal security gate. You can see where they had to cut through it and use a metal saw. There was plate glass behind it. They said that has two locks on it. The garage door had the fire in it. They had to cut through that area to get in. It did take an extra three to five minutes to get inside the home and get to the people inside. This very difficult day for them as they try to figure out how this fire started. Really in most cases, they say they dont have fatal fires when they are working smoke detectors. They dont have fatal firefighters to get here. They have a lot of questions to be answered. Live in San Francisco, Claudine Wong, ktvu channel 2 news.

We take this as serious as anybody and but when it comes down to it, its just a game. The giants released a statement saying theres absolutely no place in our community for this type of senseless violence. People who live in a south Bay Mobile Home Community are waking up without gas service. Its been that way for nine days in oak Crest Estates. Janine de la vega joining us live from san jose to explain whats going on out there and when they may get some relief. Good morning, janine. Reporter good morning, dave. Weve had people here in this Mobile Home Park come up to us and tell us how frustrated they are with how long this has taken. They fault the park owner. Pg e turned on the gas late yesterday. But theres still no service here. Residents have been living without gas Service Since wednesday of last week. So theres been no hot water for showers or cooking and no heat for their dryers to do laundry. It started when pg e found several election and shut the gas off. They said its the Mobile Home Parks responsibility to do the repairs. Even though pg e has restored gas, the meters still need to be reassembled. Management posted a notice saying they are gonna start doing that sometime this morning. Some homeowners are fed up and tired of waiting. At night, its particularly cold and we have no way to heat. We dont have any little space heaters to use and i cant afford to buy one for one incident. Reporter youre gonna stay in a hotel . Yeah. Reporter some residents partly blame pg e because they claim the utility didnt respond fast enough to do inspections after repairs were made by Property Management. Others are mad at the property owner. Investment Property Group based out of southern california.

The latest from the Property Service here is gas dart dart Property Management here is gas service is supposed to be restored. Well bring that part of the story to you. Janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news. Thank you. A huge fire is burning at a hay Storage Facility in yolo county. Its burning in winters about 20 miles near vacaville near the highway. Heres more. Reporter good morning, tori. Yes. The sun is coming up. I didnt think this could get more impressive but the pictures are stunning. Let me give you and overview. This is the fire thats literally burning right next to interstate 505 north of winters. I want to focus on the smoke. Watch this smoke cloud. Its impressive as it continues to go through. The one thing you have to be concerned with is what it is doing for visibility on i505. If we can pan down to the flashing lights. What you will see, just about ten minutes ago, you could barely see those flashing lights because pat times, the smoke from this because at times, the smoke is lofting over the interstate and causes a slight visibility problem for those traveling northbound and southbound. We have updated information on whats going on. This is called the hay kingdom. What it is, is a hay processing plant. They say other people compress the hay down to tighter, smaller hay bales to be sent oversees. Whats on fire, ten acres worth of stored hay. We understand that not only have three structures been destroyed but also one of the two presses here that presses down the hay. That building has been destroyed. Firefighters remain on the south side of the fire because the wind is pushing the fire that way. They are trying to protect the other structures. But at this point in time, the Economic Loss at a very conservative estimate. 6million but 10 million, 20 million in a fire that could burn for several more days. Firefighters say theres no way they can put the hay bales out with water. So it will be several days before they get the fire put out. Back to you. Mike, i have a question for you. We have a director drove by and said he could feel the heat from the fire. Are they gonna keep the road open, 550, because its kind of surprising to see cars driving by so close . Reporter earlier when the winds were higher and thicker over the interstate, the highway was doing monitoring the traffic going through. The winds have died down. Smoke is not much of an issue. But from a lookyloo standpoint, you will feel it, you will definitely see it and for now theres no plans to close the interstate at this point in time, so, yes, you are gonna feel it driving by. Mike la sell drive in winters. Thank you. The giants have a reason to fear the beard. Did you see this . Weird incident happened at the ballpark last night between brian wilson and the teams president. Also, some surprising impacts of a possible Government Shutdown. The reason californias National Park could lose millions every day. A major street in San Francisco has just been shut down because of a terrible injury accident at goff at pine we have crew on the way but this is a good area to avoid, you might want to use other routes instead. Well let you know more about whats happening there. Theres a 20degree difference, anywhere from 40 to 60. It all depends on the breeze. It is 7 16. The senate is scheduled to vote in a couple of hours to fund the government for the next few months. This is a live picture right now of heated debate going on on the senate floor and that is senator Bernie Sanders right now giving a very animated speech at the moment. Kyla campbell is in washington, d. C. Where bay area congressman John Garamendi weighed in on how the looming Government Shutdown could have an impact here. Reporter garamendi said when the government shuts down, the National Parks close and the bay area economy suffers. The presidio, im not sure they are gonna shut down the highways. They cant do that but all of the activities there, all of the activities north up in the marin county area, yosemite, all of those things are gonna be shut down. Reporter californias National Parks bring in 1. 1 billion a year for the local economy. That averages out to 3. 2 million lost every day the parks are shut down. Garamendi also said bay area residents on fixed incomes should watch out. If theres a government shut down next week, he says people who collect Social Security and disability should expect their checks to be delayed. Nancy pelosi is scheduled to talk to reporters in 30 minutes. I will get her reaction to the shut down showdown. Im working on that story for you at 8 15. Kyla campbell, ktvu channel 2 news. 7 17.

That worked against the folks inside because it kept the fire in. The heat and debris came from the garage area where the fire started. There was a garage area downstairs that you could live in.
