department continue to investigate two fires overnight that could be related to a fire set by a serial arsonist. we have more from will tran live on the scene. >> reporter: i am in front of a building, marty. this is the second time this week this building has caught on fire. even though they don't believe this is coincidence, they believe it could be the ninth arson this week. this one happened around 4:50 in the morning. fortunately so far, and they are very frightful and terrified that it could happen, but so far no deaths and no injuries. this one happened right next to a church. restoration crews came out here and boarded it up. it didn't take long for the fire department to put this out but they say it the mo of all the other fires. they say whoever is doing this is probably starting the fire according to investigators using newspapers or rags or something like that to start the fire, which is why they say this is definitely in common with the other eight fires. here is latest count. they believe there have been 12 fire, marty, this week in a two mile radius of east san antonio. they have not confirmed the other four fire, if they are arson or not, but the numbers don't matter at this point, eight, nine or ten -- they say they need to catch this person. here is a compost sketch they released yesterday. they obviously want this person caught. they believe someone knows this person because the sketch is so good and so detailed. there is a $10,000 reward more information leading to the capture and conviction of this person. the reason they were able to be so detailed is because they put together surveillance video. they talked to multiple witnesss in the area which is why they were able to release this. so far the san jose fire department and police department are handling it on their own. they have not called in investigators from the fbi or federal investigators, but they say if this gets really out of hand they will call in the federal department to come in right now. but so far they are doing it all by themselves. you can see the damage here. we are talking into the thousands of dollars. there have been fires set to other locations, and i am trying to find out if they are related, as well. at 7:30 there was a fire a half block from my location but the fire department said that was not related. you can imagine, every time there is a fire on east san antonio street in this neighborhood, they are terrified and running out. everybody is on pins and needles until this person is caught. back to you, mart you. >> yes. you really have to feel for the people that live in the area because they have been on edge for a week and no time of that subsiding any time soon. >> reporter: no. that is right. they want this person to be arrested. they were pleasantly surprised according to the captain. he showed up to the news conference and that was pretty much the first time he saw the compost sketch and he said, wow, it is very detailed. so, they are working with investigators and came together and got this compost sketch out. this is too detailed. this person is obviously known to people out there. if they are hiding information, don't do it anymore. give them a call. if you run across somebody that looks like that, don't do anything. call the police department. they will handle it, because so far there has been a lot of destruction but they are counting their blessing, no fatalities or injuries as of yet. >> thank you, will. we will check back in in about 30 minutes or so. the 49ers definitely saying good-bye to candlestick park. that is because of seattle's win over new orleans yesterday. the 9ers will not play another game at the stick. in order to go to the super bowl they will have to keep

i mean, one of the women in an email, slated to become the new chief of staff, it is strange, who must have a lot of trust with the governor, never shared any of this or had any discussion? >> no documents have been found, however that, suggested governor cristie was involved in the lane groceries. he saysress because against the fort lee mayor who opposed the christie re-election effort was behind the closing of the nation's busiest bridge. well, people in the bay area are heading out for flu shots but now stores and pharmacies are running low. 11 deaths from the flu have been reported in the bay area, including the death of a 23- year-old man from sonoma county. this san rafael clinic saw a steady stream of people coming in for flu shot this is weekend. cvs and wall green have temporarily ran owl of vaccines because of high de -- ran out of van seens because of high demand. it is especially important to get your flu shot this is year because of the rev lens of the swine flu, known as h1n1. and we will be right back as we look at people celebrating birthdays today.

>> reporter: yes. this building next to a church caught on fire at 5:00 this morning. the san jose fire department is saying this is suspicious, but don't be surprised if they change suspicious into arson. the reason why, this is the second time this week the building has caught on fire. the first fire here earlier this week -- they already said it is arson but right now they want to make sure they look through it to make sure it is not a flair up or -- flare up or something, which is why the preliminary is going with suspicious but not arson. and the other two overnight fires are also being called suspicious. you can see the damage this fire caused. it caused a lot of burning here. the restoration crews had to come out and board this up. this is really bad for the churches. you can see it right there, marty. it begins at 9:00 this morning. they were hoping to use a little of this building for some physical therapy, to meet with the -- fellowship, to meet with the elder people here, to study and use it for bible courses, but that will not happen. it is off limits and boarded up because right now it is too dangerous. let me blow you away with numbers, marty. we already talked about this fire. this past week alone there were 12 fire in a two mile radius of this location, eight of them already confirmed as arson. the reason why, they say all the arson fires have the same m.o. whoever is starting the fire is starting with newspaper or rags. this is not like something in the walls or accidental. this is something starting all these fires. then yesterday the san jose fire department came out with this compost sketch. this is very detailed. take a look at your screen. they don't know who this person is at this time, but it is so detailed, they believe someone out there knows who he is. the there is a $10,000 reward. they were able to get this compost sketch because of surveillance video and all the witnesses from this past week which is why even the fire investigator and the fire captain i spoke to was surprised at how detail this had compost sketch is. i can tell you so far thankfully of all the fires, no one has been killed or any injuries, but they believe it is a matter of time with this person still out there. they will handle this all by themselves for now. the fire department, the san jose police department, they will do this. but if they need help, they will not hesitate to call in the fbi for additional resources. back to you, hart you. >> a dozen fires in a little over a week, will. are investigators confident this is the work of one person? >> reporter: they believe this is one person because of the m.o. the rags, the newspapers. it seems with all the witnesses, surveillance video as well, they have talked to the investigators and so far only one compost sketch has been released. every time they come out here they are leary. obviously they want to put out the fire, but they are also looking around. the profile seems to be -- if you talk to the fbi about a lot of people who set fires -- they tend to come back to a location. so, you better believe when the fire department is out there, they are also looking around and the public just to see who is around and watching them do their jobs. unfortunately you can see this happened to a church and church will begin in about 25 minutes from now and a lot of the parishioners, when they come here will look at this sean awhat?

>> it is a sad reminder of how dangerous this virus can be for certain populations. it reminds us to do our own part in protecting ourselves, your community and our loved ones. >> protecting yourself, what else does that include besides getting the vaccine, if you can. >> yes. the other things you may remind yourself to do is wash your hands more regularly. that is the way you will prevent the spread of virus. you should boost your immune system by getting plenty of rest, staying healthy, getting plenty of exercise, wipe down shared surfaces like laptops, cell phones and desks at your work. you can keep a distance from people who are sick, so be mindful of people that are coughing and sneezing, because we know the flu can travel for up to six feet. >> up to six feet?

>> well, you want to stay medicated, high drink plenty of fluids, get plenty of rest and be mindful of how long the illness is lasting. if you are not feeling better by day 5, that would be a good time to consider contacting your physician. >> five days the key?

coming up in just a bit. marty. >> thank you, johnu. begin this hour with developing news out of san jose. fire crews and the san jose police department investigating two overnight fires that could be related to the string of blazes set by a serial arsonist. kron4's will tran is live at the scene of one of those fires in san jose where church is just starting right now, will. >> reporter: that's right, which is why they are very concerned, the people i have talked to here, they say please capture this guy as soon as possible because so far the good news is no one has been killed and no major injuries, but you can see the damage overnight. now, this -- they don't believe this is a coincidence but they will not go so far as to say arson and the reason why, marty, this is the second fire to this building in one week. the first fire that happened a few days ago here, yes, they are saying that was an arson. this one, until the investigators can go through and find out for sure, they are calling it suspicious but you can see the damage. this happened at around 4:50 in the morning. did not take the fire department a lot of time to put this out but it caused a lot of damage and some of the damage from this morning just intermingled with the damage that took place a couple of days ago which is why you could see the yellow tape here. it is off limits and the church relies on this building here because they do some of their studying here, they get together for meals and that's not going to happen. here's a picture, a composite sketch that was released by the san jose fire department yesterday. look how detailed it is. they are offering a $10,000 reward for any information that leads to the capture and conviction of this person. they believe he is the only one responsible because it's the same m.o. this person, whoever is doing this, they believe they are starting the fire with either newspapers or some sort of rag and that seems to be the common denominator among all of the fires. so far i can tell you and let me blow you away with numbers, marty, eight arson fires, that's been confirmed. this one could very well easily be number 9 and get this, in just the past week alone, 12 fires in a 2-mile radius of east san antonio, which is why they are on high alert, they are out here putting out the fire. but they are also, i got to tell you, they are also looking out to the public to see if they see the same people show up each time. they want to make sure to capture this person but for now, they are not calling in the federal authorities. it looks like the san jose fire department, the police department, they are handling the investigation at this point and should they need additional resources, the federal department's expertise, they will call them in but you can see just the damage that's ranging into the thousands of dollars, not to mention at this point they don't even know yet the cause of the warehouse fire that we aired live for you on thursday morning, that obviously was the biggest fire all week, they are still trying to confirm if that fire was started by an arsonist. back to you, marty. >> will, officials have the sketch but they also have the motivation of a $10,000 reward, right? >> reporter: absolutely. they are offering $10,000 and obviously that number could go up. that amount could very well easily go up as the tension, the anxiety goes up. so many people are nervous. i can tell you there was a small fire right next door here. you can see some mobile homes. the fire departments are out there. they told me early on that they don't think it was related to any arson fires but obviously they are still looking into it and if it is related somehow, some way to the arson fire, well, we are talking about fire number 13 in a 2-mile radius just this week alone. back to you, marty. >> will tran reporting live from san jose. an hour away from kickoff of the big game. the 49ers looking to return to the super bowl, but to do that, they have to get past the carolina panthers in today's divisional playoff game. that would hopefully earn a trip to seattle to face the saks next week -- seahawks next week. today's game in charlotte. that's where kron4's scott raetz found a lot of niner fans. >> let's go niners. >> reporter: 49ers fever invading charlotte on saturday. the niners fateful coming from all over the country gathering here at buffalo wild wings in downtown. >> go 49ers. >> reporter: fans here getting pumped up for the big game. >> i want to beat those panthers. >> got to get crazy, got to get loud and got to represent the bay. >> let's go niners. >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: many of these fans made the trip from the bay like cat tate. she is with the ladies of the empire. we showed you her story before she left for charlotte. now that she is here -- >> i am very excited. i got my quest -- my official rally towel. >> reporter: some of the fans live in charlotte. >> i live here. >> reporter: and others -- >> from buffalo. >> reporter: a 49ers fan living in buffalo? that's right, check out what eric hawk has back at his house, it's definitely not a tribute to jim kelly or doug flutie. >> i have a man cave at home and i actually named it the 49ers experience. and every sunday i usually make my accident down into the -- descent into the basement at 10:00 a.m. east coast time and down there until midnight. >> reporter: how do you feel about his man cave? >> i'm supportive of it. there's no choice. >> reporter: what's it going to take to get that niners victory? >> we need to play consistent offense. >> i think it will come down to those play makers. >> they got to get past the carolina's defense for sure. >> no turnovers. >> we are going to the super bowl. >> when niner fans get together from all over the country for events like this and games like this, you meet new people, you make new friends, we are all one big family and you kind of meet those cousins that you didn't know you had. >> well, that was scott raetz reporting now. just a reminder, keep it tuned here to kron4 as the 49ers take on the carolina panthers. we have have

off-duty officer was involved in a minor crash on highway 280. the two cars pulled off the freeway and stopped in the area of gerald avenue and bayshore boulevard and they got into an altercation. that's when a female officer shot and struck a person in the lower body. police still trying to figure out why the officer fired her weapon. so far no other information about the incident has been released. in the east bay, police looking for a man involved in an armed robbery in oakland earlier this week. it happened on tuesday on walker avenue near the grand lake theater. police were able to obtain surveillance footage of the suspect and his vehicle. police say that he's described as an african-american man, seems to be in his 30s, who stands about 5'7 tall, weighs about 170 pounds and they say he has short hair and a silver grill in his mouth. he's believed to have been in a truck before the robbery. and campbell police looking for a suspected sexual predator on the loose. take a look at a sketch of the man that authorities say attacked a woman just after midnight on thursday. the attack was near the sunny oakes avenue and winchester boulevard in campbell. police say the victim was grabbed from behind and the suspect began to sexually assault her. the woman was able to burn the man on his face with her cigarette. investigators say the suspect then pulled out a gun to rob the woman but she was able to get away. coming up on kron4 news weekend, a bay area figure skater could be heading to the coachy olympics. details on today's big announcement after the break.

version of the affordable care act for undocumented immigrants. his name is state senator ricardo laura and he says the goal -- if the goal of federal health care law is to provide coverage to the

olympic team but edmunds ranking ahead of 2009 olympian and veteran ashley wagner. three skaters will make the u.s. olympic team. turn our attention now to weather and with that, here's -- >> dealing with some areas of fog out there but expecting lots of sunshine this afternoon. as for tomorrow, we are expecting lots of sunshine tomorrow as well, slightly warmer temperatures and we are going to continue to feel that warming right on into the midweek time where we could be seeing some record breaking temperatures. so before we get to that, let's talk about our high surf advisory in place until 3:00 p.m. so we've got large northwest swells up to about 14 to 17 feet and that's mainly impacting northwest facing beaches so waves and crip currents a -- and rip currents certainly a possibility. we have been also dealing with low visibility all morning in livermore, down to about 1/10 mile visibility there, 5 miles in half moon bay and definitely improved in napa sitting at 9 miles and pretty clear everywhere else and we are expecting that fog to clear up just in the next hour or so, you can see as we put the clock ahead into 10:00 a.m., that's going mix out and we are expecting lots of sunshine even in livermore. as for your temperatures this morning, a cool start in the north bay, 38 degrees in napa, 38 in vallejo, upper 40s here in san francisco, mid-40s in fremont, currently 42 degrees if you're heading out the door in livermore. afternoon highs just slightly warmer compared to yesterday's high so low 60s for the north bay today, 64 degrees expected for oakland, 60 degrees here in san francisco, 61 degrees for those of you in redwood city and low 60s for the south bay today. now, taking a look at the game day forecast. carolina got slammed with gusty winds yesterday, up to 85 miles per hour. today much quieter conditions, in fact expecting lots of sunshine, a high temperature of 55 degrees, west-southwest winds six to 8 miles per hour. so pretty common day today in store for the game. taking a look at your seven day around the bay, showing us that warmup that i mentioned getting in the 70s by tuesday, wednesday, thursday, we could certainly see some record breaking temperatures on those days and then temperatures are gradually going to cool off as we wrap up your workweek. marty. >> thank you, johnu. we are talking political headlines this morning and to do that is kron4's political analyst michael yaki and at the top of the list has to be chris christie. >> that's right. >> and it's funny, i was reading an article this week and one reporter was saying that politics in new jersey has always been a full contact sport. >> right. >> and this is evidence of that. >> i mean it's not very different from san francisco, revenge is part of how a lot of people go about their business but the fascination around chris christie right now is one, he's the number 1 presidential contender for the republicans. number 2, he was riding high on the wave of the post sandy, post obama, hinch embrace. >> reelected. >> huge margin, a lot of democratic support and then all of a sudden this comes out and it seems to bring out what people think is the worst parts of chris christie, the one where you see him being very combative, demeaning to people in public and then all of a sudden you see this and this is something that's different. this is not an example of corruption or paola, this is about how someone fundamentally believes their role in government is supposed to be. if their role in government is to use the levers of government to be abusive, to abuse power, to punish enemies, this is the exact wrong kind of message that christie wants to send not just to everyone, but particularly to the republican primary base, where you have a lot of tea parties, antigovernment, anti-- you know, very much against government. this underscores the worst parts of that government for the tea party base which might have been willing to give them a pass in the primary. >> so what does this mean for his political future and his presidential aspirations? >> i think that it's going to be an evolving process. you have, you know, two investigations going on in the state legislature in new jersey, his chief of staff was going to be the attorney general, his nomination has been put on hold because his deputy chief of staff is the one who sent the memo and i think a lot of people going to be trying to find out what really went on in this because you just can't look at those messages in just their plain context. the deputy -- the deputy chief of staff sent a message that said essentially time for fort lee to have traffic problems and the person on the port authority just sent a two sentence e-mail back saying got it. well, obviously there have been some talk beforehand about this. there has been some planning, a contingency in place and getting into that is going to be what could be, could be the downfall of chris christie as a viable candidate because anytime it shows that he had knowledge that there was this possible contingency in place, whether or not he ordered it, whether or not he had any direct responsibility, but if he had knowledge that this had been bandied about by his top people, that's going to be a real problem for him. >> we go back to the age old watergate question, what did christie know and when did he know it. >> when did he know it exactly. >> let's talk for a little bit about christie and his personality because he has been called a bully in the past and i'm wondering is bridgegate just the tip of the iceberg. are we going to learn more about some of the things that he or his staff may have done to other politicians? >> the great thing about politics, it's very much like football. people love to pile on, and at this point if you see -- if you see sort of someone getting a wound, everyone else likes to go in there and take at -- whoever hits caesar first, let's all jump in and be part of the party. i think you will see other people come out. and especially the one part that was in an early story that's still being investigated is that during the bridgegate, the bridge nato, whatever they want to call it, there was a 91- year-old woman who may not have gotten paramedic assistance and died in the hospital. now, whether or not that was due to the failure of the paramedics to get there or not, no one knows for sure but if, if there is some linkage to that, that is going to be really bad news for chris christie, really bad news. >> exactly. we are out of time but i just real quick want to talk about the bets between the two mayors for the football game. >> well, and we are sending over -- if we lose, we send over gear deeley -- ghirardelli chocolates but we are getting back franchise fried chicken. i don't get it. >> so the niners have to win, basically. >> yes, exactly. >> we will be right back. oh! progress-oh! -oh! -oh!

service to try and catch the hackers who stole some of its customers' credit card information. the information was compromised around the same time that thieves got ahold of target customers' information. neiman-marcus not saying how many customers may be affected. you might be giving a thief direct access to your checking account and not knowing it by using your debit card. according to federal government computer analysts, here are some of the four riskiest places to swipe your debit card. outdoor atms are among the worst. skimming is the practice of capturing a bank customer's card information by running it through a machine that reads the card's magnetic strip. gas stations also considered a big danger zone for debit card use even if the thief doesn't manage to get your debit card pin from such a skimming device, he still may be table to duplicate the card's magnetic strip and use it for a sign and swipe visa or master traction transaction. the consumer could have malware on their computer so could be the end point that the data gets compromised. and lastly, restaurants keep customer data on file using debit cards to order delivery can be risky because cashiers can keep customer payment information on file. so regardless of whether you use your dent card at a small -- debit card at a small restaurant or big box store, keep in mind the possibility of fraud always there. still ahead for you on kron4 news weekend, you can hear what the warriors have to say about this morning's niners panthers game and why one of golden state's star players are not rooting for

arson, definitely not a problem, but as far as this fire here that happened at 4:50, they want to talk to investigators to conclusively say it was started by arsonists which is why at this point they are only going to go with the word suspicious. whether you call it suspicious arson to the people right next to the church here -- i mean, excuse me, this building is located right next to a church. they are heart broken because their building here is destroyed. this is where they spend their time studying, they have meals here, they talk to each other about plans but that's not going to happen because as you can see, this is off limits and the front part, let me zoom out, this was damaged from the first fire. the second fire that happened overnight, it damaged the backside, nonetheless, it is just off limits. you can see the yellow tape that surrounds this building here. let me blow you away with numbers. this is fire number 12, 12 fires in the past week in a 2- mile radius of east simone street which is -- san antonio street which is why they believe this fire here, more than likely when it's all said and done will be arson. fortunately they say time has been good, so far it's been good for them as far as the fires, meaning no fatalities and no injuries but they say time could be running out which is why they are offering a $10,000 reward for information to the arrest and conviction of this person. so let me put on the screen here, a composite sketch released by the police department as well as the fire department. look how detailed this composite sketch is. even the fire investigator, the captain i spoke to this morning, he was blown away, pleasantly surprised when he first saw the composite sketch, how detailed it is and that's why they believe somebody out there knows this person. they know it's only one person doing this because it has the same m.o. they don't see any gasoline cans or anything like that. they believe the fires, the one thing they have in common, the arson fires, all started with either a newspaper or some sort of rag and the time and the location of all of these fires, that's why they believe more than likely they are all connected including possibly the warehouse fire that took place on thursday. they are not sure yet, but obviously investigators are looking at that because that was near east san antonio street as well. i can tell you the fire department and the police department, they are the only ones handling it at this point. obviously, the federal -- the department, the fbi, they are on standby ready to go. they are experts at this. but according to the fire departments, they say for now they believe in the talent and the experience of the people at the police department as well as the fire department to handle it, should they need help, they will call the fbi mo back to you, marty. >> that is will tran reporting live from san jose. turn our attention now to the weather forecast and here with that is johnu
