Today embattled San Francisco fire chief joanne hayeswhites job may be on the line. The Fire Commission will be evaluating her job as chief less than three weeks after firefighters asked for her resignation. Ktvus Tara Moriarty join us live from the city where another apparent slow ambulance Response Time may have an impact on this decision. Good morning, tara. Reporter good morning, Mark Gonzalez called us this morning and he tells us that this particular incident is under review, not only by the department but also by the department of emergency communications. Were here at 23rd and taraville, where firefighters responded to an incident yesterday in which a man, an elderly man, was he ended up dying after waiting for an ambulance for too long. It happened around 5 00 yesterday morning. We had a crew on scene. The man suffered a heart attack as crews were evacuating the Apartment Building because of a Carbon Monoxide leak. Dispatch records obtained by ktvu show an ambulance was called at 5 37 a. M. And a private ambulance arrived at 5 55 a. M. Thats an 18minute wait. The maximum Response Time allowed is ten minutes for a lifethreatening call. Paramedics were unable to revive the man. And an autopsy is pending. Poor ambulance Response Times have been a major issue for chief joanne hayeswhite. Ktvu has chronicled hundreds of wait times over the past several months that have taken a halfhour, an hour, even up to two hours. The chief has said that 16 new paramedics that hit the streets a few weeks ago have helped the situation but others say its the recent use of private Ambulance Companies, that the city and county are not contracted through that have eased the problem slightly. We not that the Firefighters Union and all of the Employee Work groups have voted to out of joanne hayeswhite. But the chief said she has no plans to go and that the mayor has backed her and together they are trying to solve the ambulance and staffing shortage. That meeting before the Fire Commission will take place at 4 00 this afternoon. Live from San Francisco, im Tara Moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. 8 05. The chp still searching for the big rig driver responsible for a deadly hitandrun crash in fremont. A 61yearold man on a motorcycle was killed yesterday afternoon on mission boulevard near warm springs boulevard. Witnesses say the driver of a silver big rig never stopped after colliding with that motorcycle. Now, mission boulevard is a major connector between interstates 880 and 680. The chp says a continuing construction project in that area may be a factor in this crash. This particular stretch of roadway is under construction. The lanes are not as wide as the normal lanes on other interstates. The. Chp wants any the chp wants any witnesses to contact them immediately. The man attacked in a levi stadium bathroom may be paralyzed. That was revealed by Santa Clara County prosecutors yesterday as the two men suspected in the beating appeared in a san jose courtroom.

But im told that swarms of people come here in the afternoon and at night to use this Grand Staircase for exercise. The people who live here are not opposed to that or added development. What they dont like is the trash that people leave behind like these bottles. Im told beer cans have been found. All of that behavior is unwanted. Ktvu first reported about the concerns neighbors had about all of the noise and crowded walkways. But san joseinside. Com is reporting the city is getting complaints of drug use and public sex in the area. Neighborhood groups claim that 80 of the people who use Communications Hill dont live in the area. San joses vice mayor has asked the council to consider those complaints bfern approving plans for 2200 new homes and a retail center. There are also plans to add several more staircases. I do wish the city would walk to members of the community more about that, about exactly about our concerns about the Grand Staircase so that if they do build staircases there will be included also methods that can kind of keep things under control. Reporter there are visitors who are sympathetic to the homeowners concerns. They try to be respectful. One of the issues the city is dealing with is the stairs are zoned as public passage open to anyone. At this point, curfews cant be enforced. If the project gets the green light it would be the Largest Development in san jose. One city official told me that as part of the approval process, the city could impose certain conditions on the developer for the project to go forward like possibly adding more lighting or having patrols here at night.
