Series of wildfires california has ever seen. Tonight we asked the feds, what are you going to do about the housing crisis . Kpix 5s emily turner says fema admits it doesnt know. These are the faces of those who have been displaced, who have lost something or everything in the fire. I opened up my door, all of the sudden i saw the winds blowing and embers and branches flying in the flames. Essentially we had just seconds to get out of the house. Reporter there are thousands of them and they came to this Community Meeting for answers. But where housing is concerned, there are few. Before the fire, santa rosa had vacancy rates that were incredibly low. 10 , if not worse. Now that the fire has happened, all these homes have been destroyed, how are you going to put them in temporary housing . Thats the biggest question were trying to deal with right now. Reporter the fires in santa rosa and Sonoma County destroyed 6500 homes. There are still about 300 people in temporary shelters and thousands more displaced. Short term and long term housing, this is the tightest market in the United States and we know that. The state, the county and the city. Reporter what fema doesnt know is how theyll handle it. Their first goal is to put people in hotels once rooms open up. Then theyll look for something more permanent. To keep that many people close to home, they still dont have an answer. Trailers, like those we saw in katrina, are a possibility. That sounds like a really long process. Whats the timeline . Thats not going to be a short process. Reporter it could take months or longer, he says, and the further away from home youre willing to go, likely the sooner youll have a place to stay. For people like cesar navarro, staying near home is important, no matter what his former home looks like now. I actually passed up my house not knowing that was my home and i made a uturn because my wife told me we passed up the house. When i made the uturn, i saw both my cars in the driveway. They looked totally different. They didnt even look the same. Everything was burned. The metal was melted completely. It was incredible. Tomorrow three communities that were heavily damaged in santa rosa will have controlled reentry. Residents will be given protective gear to wear. Theyll be allowed to remove smaller items and valuables. Tonights rain is certainly helping with the fire fight in the north bay. Veronica de la cruz is here with the proof. The proof is in those containment numbers. Weve seen them increase in just the past few hours. Tonight all of the fires burning across the north bay are now at least 80 contained with full containment expected in the next few days. But the damage has been done. Tonight the damage total is now at 1 billion and climbing. That estimate is based on insurance claims. It includes more than 5,000 homes and 600 businesses. The rain has been a welcome sight among all the devastation. Some fire victims tell us it literally feels like a breath of fresh air. Its fresh, its new. Its not just rain. Its symbolism. Darren and Jennifer Reed are living out of an Evacuation Center after losing their home in the tubbs fire. While the rain is helping the fire fight, cal fire says it can create problems for heavy Equipment Operators as the ground turns to mud. Veronica de la cruz, kpix 5. Now to the fire watch in the south bay where the bear fire is still burning in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Its about 300 structures still threatened, but some evacuation orders have been lifted. The 320acre fire is 35 contained tonight. 7 firefighters have been hurt battling it. At least four structures have been destroyed. This is what firefighters have been waiting for. Rain. It started falling around sundown, making things a little slick on the Richmond Bridge during the late evening commute. There it is. In San Francisco tonight, people have their umbrellas out, walking along the embarcadero. At the raiders game in oakland, fans got doused with light showers as well. As you can see, many of them heard pauls forecast and brought their rain ponchos or umbrella. Where do we go from here . If youre out this evening, umbrella will certainly be needed. Youll have to go back 133 days. June 9th, the last time the radar looked like this. We had widespread rainfall moving in. Light to moderate rainfall but man, will we take it. Its heading right over napa, vallejo, hercules, richmond. Its pouring in st. Helena, clear lake, Hidden Valley lake, cobb, middletown. Yellow is moderate rainfall. Head to the south bay, doesnt look very impressive but most of this is flying under the National Weather service radar. Its raining steadily in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Well show you a time lapse. That steady rainfall working its way from the north to the south. It will be in your backyard san jose and livermore. Coming soon. About. 5 of an inch of rain. Its raining in the bay area right now. Not going to last very long. Well talk about 90degree weather returning coming up in a few minutes. Despite a little rain, the raiders able to pull off a huge win tonight. Dennis odonnell is here with more. What a finish. This in the business is what you call an instant classic. One of the best nfl games youll ever see. The raiders trailing with no time left on the clock. The chiefs committed two penalties in the final 10 seconds to keep oaklands drive alive. The third time was the charm. Derek carr to Michael Crabtree for the game winning touchdown on the final play of the game. The excitement of being in that position, i just cant get enough of it. I absolutely love it. Get these moments, these awesome awesome moments, group of men believes and stays the course and fights despite all kinds of things that could have been different. It finishes super exciting. You can call them mustwin game, whatever you want to call it. It was a great football game. I take you back in the locker room a little bit later in sports.

Tonight a student has come forward to accuse two High School Football players of rape. The suspects are from de la salle and Ygnacio Valley high. Those Football Players have been arrested. Thats right. A Police Source tells us the alleged Sexual Assault happened off campus, apparently at a football game, some kind of event, most likely a party. The Contra Costa Sheriffs Department said the alleged attack happened in late september. The victim finally broke her silence this week to her school. The principal sent out a letter today saying our students reached out to our personal counselors this week to report the incident and we immediately contacted local police and provided support service for her and her family. The Sheriffs Department arrested the two boys last night and booked them in to juvenile hall. One teen is a student at de la salle set to be on the football team. The east bay times reports the other boy as a Football Player at ignacio valley high school. Be smart in the future and that doesnt happen again. A lot of drama there. We need to keep going on with the Normal School process. We dont need anymore drama. I hope it gets solved right away. Its alarming. The one thing thats kind of scary these are happening right after the game. This is the second alleged rape in a year. Back in may, a former de la salle Football Player was convicted in Juvenile Court in raping a student on the de la salle campus after a game. Both schools held their own student body meeting to talk about the alleged attack and how to avoid situations like this. Because the two suspects are minors, theyre under 18, police will not release their names. If youre not familiar with these schools, de la salle located right behind me. Its sister school, the all girls school is just right across the street in front of me. Ygnacio is right behind de la salle a few blocks away. Live in concord, da lin, kpix 5. A former san jose state student is breaking her silence. Tonight she claims she was the victim of a professor who faced several similar claims before he recently decided to step down. Maria medina has her story on kpix 5. He was a person in power and person in position to screw up my life. Reporter shes not ready to show her face or give her name. Youre ruining our life. Reporter but shes ready to tell her story. I was in my 40s. I could handle this nonsense. Reporter she claims shes one of the victims. While going through the san jose state Counselor Education Program in 2013. He asked me out. Literally, he asked me, will you go on a date with me . Reporter she says he held private counseling sessions with her as a requirement to graduate. But the meetings began to feel more like dates. Are you single . Do you have kids . Why are you single . And then he started talking about himself. Reporter she waited to file a claim with the university after she graduated. Something she says she regrets. Meanwhile, she had no idea other students would come forward in 2014 and 15 with similar claims against him. He was put on paid lead when the mercury news exposed the allegations. He was scheduled to teach this year but students protested his return. He resigned one week ago. Im so proud of those girls who came forward. Im really proud of them because at the time i didnt do it. I should have done it. She says she even skipped her Graduation Ceremony to avoid him. As part of his resignation agreement, the university paid him 75,000 but the mercury news says he also cant accept a job within the csu system. Maria medina, kpix 5. The university is not commenting tonight. Up next, new details tonight on an east bay father who was run over by his own truck. The search for suspects following that deadly carjacking.

The tug of war access to the Golden Gate NationalRecreation Area is over and dogs win. Kpix 5s andria borba on what brought the battle to an end. After years of back and forth, the Golden Gate NationalRecreation Area abruptly dropped its fight to keep dogs off of National ParkService Property today. Its a dog day at chrissy fields each beach and will be for every day for now on. This is amazing news. Reporter the proposed rule change is at the center of 14 years. But personal emails about the rule making process. In a statement, acter director said we can do better and in the interest of upholding the highest standard of transparency and trust for our bay area neighbors, we have determined its no longer appropriate to continue with the current dog management rule making process at the Golden Gate NationalRecreation Area. Part of the now defunct proposed rules included further limiting where pooches could go off leash and frolic in the stand. It virtually left nothing to walk on. In marin county where i live, there was half mile of beach where we were allowed to have our dogs off leash. Theres no place like crissy field where everybody gets to do what they want to do. Reporter andria borba, kpix 5. White house chief of staff john kelly is defending president trumps condolence calls to families of fallen soldiers. Betty yu is here with more. John kelly isnt just a 4star general. Hes also a gold star father. Today he lashed out at florida congresswoman frederica wilson. The congresswoman revealed to the press that the president told the widow that her husband, quote, knew what he was getting in to. Today kelly tried to clarify the president s words. He knew what he was getting himself in to because he enlisted. Theres no reason to enlist. He enlisted. He was where he wanted to be, exactly where he wanted to be with exactly the people he wanted to be with when his life was taken. That was the message. It stunss me that a member of congress would have listened in on that conversation. Wilson responded saying, quote, john kelly is trying to keep his job. He will say anything. There were other people who heard what i heard, end quote. Kelly took his defense one step further telling reporters the exact chain of events that happens when an American Service member is killed overseas. Kellys own son was killed in the line of duty in afghanistan during the obama administration. Typically the only phone calls the family receives are the most important phone calls they can imagine and that is from their buddies. In my case, after my son was killed, his friends were calling us from afghanistan telling us. Its about the most difficult thing you can imagine. Theres no perfect way to make that phone call. My first recommendation was he not do it. Because its not the phone call that parents, family members are looking forward to. Tonight lawmakers are demanding more information to find out exactly what happened to the patrol in niger that led to the deaths of the four u. S. Soldiers. Cbs news says the patrol was attacked by about 50 members of a group linked to isis. The patrol apparently was told they should not expect to see any combat. Betty yu, kpix 5.
