We have new details, tonight, about the challenge firefighters faced and the scramble to get those nearby to safety. Matt boone joins us live where fire crews are still hard at work. Matt. Good evening, dion. Yeah. As you can see, behind me, firefighters still blasting water onto the sevenstory Apartment Building under construction. This is at university, right in the heart of berkeley and its been burning for hours, likely causing significant damage to this building. Just after 6 00, flames erupted. Watched it literally go up.

There is nothing wrong to make us all healthy. San jose police and other local Police Departments that responded back to us say they will focus on education. No arrests and no tickets. I wouldnt want to be too extreme with the enforcement but at the same time being too lackadaisical things are getting out of hand. Big house parties and parties in vacant buildings there should be citations and warnings surprisingly many Business Owners believe the curfew will result in more covid cases and not fewer. They say it will push people to go from outdoor regulated environments to indoor gathering. Between the hours of ten and 12 typically on a friday night we do 25 of the business for the night. Eric nelson runs two restaurants and he says the curfew will further harm businesses. I am worried about my
