Work out there. A total of seven people were hurt, mostly for smoke inhalation, one had burns as well. Huge fire started just after 1 00 this morning. Fire crews got out here and initially found two cars and two homes on fire. The flames spread to two other homes. Took about an hour to get it under control. A total of seven had hurt, but really its amazing that their injuries werent more serious. Lucky . Particularly when youre talking about 1 00 in the morning and a lot of people are asleep or just gone to sleep, typically not up and about. Detection of the fire is one of those things that you worry about. Reporter fire crews are still trying to figure out if there were working smoke detectors, if thats how some of these families woke up. Four homes burned, two are destroyed. One were told has moderate damage and the fourth home has what is described as minor damage. We do understand that some of the families are making their way back into their homes that were near this fire. A lot o
Of the responding firefighters. Alex . Reporter yeah, really dramatic video. We want to let everybody know about all of the people injured in this fire. A total of seven people were treated, either taken to the hospital or treated here at the scene. Most of them took in a lot of smoke. There was one man who had burns to his back and is being treated at the hospital. Let me show you where the fire started. It started here in this home on the lefthand side and it then quickly spread to the home on the right and the home on the other side and then to a fourth home thats actually across the street. Thats how big this fire was. Some of those embers just drifted across the street here and this was just an incredible scene on this block. Let me get ut to the video get you to the video. This is helmet cam video. You can see this fire that started after 1 00 this morning here on anchor drive in baypoint. The flames, they spread to four neighboring homes on the street and mainly that was a resul
Bay. More triple digit temperatures today, and it it is safe to say that the bay area is feeling the heat. The firefighters had to not only battle the heat today as well as a brush fire. Jana katsuyama is live on the scene. Fire crews had difficulty getting water when they arrived and found there were no fire hydrants nearby. Reporter that was a big problem, heather. Were right here at the scene. You can see how close the fire came to the mobile home park. Thats at the back of the park. They had to bring in special trucks to haul it all the way. You can see how high and how close it got. Right now, if you take a look over here, you can see they have fire crews here still with hoses, putting out the hot spots. Take a look at this video that we shot earlier from our helicopter. Fire crews say that this fire was burning on very difficult at the rain along the creek. But due to the drought, the creek bed was completely dry, and the trees and other vegetation around it caught fire quickly a
That it us hit 100 degrees on in other parts of the south bay. Standing in this heat, it is one word, uncomfortable. Cutting classes short early, as something that is a first for delmar high school. And its 56 year history, the majority of students we spoke to to, had no qualms about it. Rather than having students sweated out, the district had these emergency days for each of their high school campuses. As the mercury rises hitting 100 degrees today. In fact, less than half of all of the district classrooms have air conditioning. They have it at the middle school where i have a child. Why do they not have it at the high school . I am sure the administrators have air conditioning in their office. I know that i should be in class right now, because i have a lot of work to do. Reporter mixed feelings there.
