When you get to the bay bridge toll plaza you can take a live look, its crowded. Were looking at the east bay commute and not a bad commute right now from hayward to fremont, a little bit of slow traffic, 238 getting up to 880. There was a little bit of a mishap there, a small collision not blocking. Northbound 101, san jose a little slow after 280, the rest of the freeways are still good. This is the time when things start to change, so by the next time we talk about this, it likely will be more slow traffic. 6 02. Lets go back to the desk. Well check back in with you sal. Now we want to go back to our coverage of the latest, a wildfire burning in Southern California. Christina rendon is here. Governor brown, this is very unusual already declaring this a state of emergency and it just started yesterday. That is something we typically dont see him do until a fire has been burning for several days. This blue cut fire has just exploded out of control, and this morning interstate 15, which is the main road between the Los Angeles Area and las vegas remains closed as firefighters try to get some sort of containment on the flames. The fire is now covering a massive 28 square mile area that at times is creating its own weather that you see there. Yesterday this twisting column of flames burned near fire crews and a number of homes have been lost. Right now officials dont have an exact number, but they do know that more than 34,000 structures are in danger and mandatory evacuations remain in place. This fire when it first got started was extremely dangerous. It was a undriven fire that got started in the canyon. And once it established itself and the wind it can it over the edge, it exploded in different directions. We know of six firefighters who found themselves in the path of danger while trying to protect homes yesterday. Flames surrounded them. They took shelter, and they were later rescued. Two of them suffered smoke inhalation, but all six are back on the fire lines this morning, just incredible resilience for fire crews. Officials say they have no containment on this fire, but people remain just shocked by how fast this fire is moving. Just to give you guys some perspective, this fire has burned an area that is more than half the size of San Francisco in less than one day. Wow, thats just incredible. Thank you christine. I know youre going to be continuing to follow this from our newsroom. Everybody anxious to hear about any homes lost.

Modular homes will be installed in the willow glen neighborhood on evans lane. Late last night, the city council made that decision. Ktvus janine de la vega in san jose this morning. Tell us about it. Reporter good morning, dave, well, theres a lot of strong feelings, a lot of passion on both sides of this debate. Home homeowners who live here dont want Homeless People living here in this field of undeveloped land. Advocates are saying we need to get the homeless off the streets. It was a packed meeting last night in City Council Chambers with people from the neighborhood asking city leaders not to allow this project to go forward, but the Council Voted to approve this proposal that would allow for more than 100 Homeless People to live in modular homes on a 6 acre plot of land. Councilman who represents the district says the area already suffers from crime. I think we need to move forward with a transitional housing situation now knowing that we can always change that to a permanent structure in the years ahead. Reporter these new renderings show what the homeless would live in. The house plan includes bedrooms, shared bathrooms, a dog park and a community center. Adobe services, a Nonprofit Agency will run it providing on site Case Management and 24 hour security. The city would lease the land to adobo for 1 for 15 years and after that the city would reevaluate what to do with the land since they own it and they could possibly end up proposing permanent housing there. Dave. All right. Janine de la vega in san jose. Thank you. Time is 6 07. Santa Rose City Council provided new rent control measures.

Tommy castelani was attacked last thursday about 2 30 in the morning. He cant remember what happened. The last thing he remembers before waking up in the hospital is singing karaoke at the cafe, a popular club on market street. His friend found him on the sidewalk. Police officers at the scene told him castellani may have been beaten with his bicycle helmet. Three drinks, he has a big mouth. I was hoping it wasnt a gay bashing or some random attack. I dont care if it was some sort of confrontation between them, no one in the world deserves to get hurt and put into the hospital like that. His jaw and nose were broken but he says nothing was stolen so he doesnt think robbery was the motive. Police are checking Surveillance Video from nearby businesses in that area.

Were in the middle of the fire zone, and you can see the destruction, just whole blocks that were leveled by this fire. Theres still a lot of hazards here, downed power lines, downed trees in this area, and you also have all of these burned out areas. There are potential hot spots that could reignite so fire crews keeping an eye on that. A short time ago i talked with the couple that lives at this home or lived, i should say, at this home here on daily place, and obviously they have found out that their home is gone. Theyve been staying in the shelter, but they want to get back in here to try to see what they can salvage from this home and also find their missing cats, and i talked with the man who was living here with his girlfriend. He described for me just how fast this fire raced through here on sunday. Flames, you know, they came. They were roaring and you didnt have a chance. Fire is something dont reckon with. It will take everything from you, you know, if you aint if theres a fire, get out because you might not make it out. It happens so quick. Reporter now late yesterday about 4,000 people who evacuated from the clear lake area were allowed to return to their homes, but thats a goodies tans away good distance away from here.

In terms of the temperature and also the winds as we move throughout the day. Well have to wait and see. They feel pretty confident.
