So in order to have fire access this area, we posed down northbound 101 at lakeville and we are sending everybody off the highway. You said stewart drive, just on the east side of highway 101 just as you are getting into the heart of downtown the loma area is that correct . Yes. The fire is spreading so quickly. We are sending up a couple of areas for the residence to go to at mckenzie and cortez in the safeway parking lot of some temporary places. Can you tell us anything about the kind of structures that have been burned. Is it the homes that have been lost . Yes, this is a residential neighborhood. The only thing right now that are burning are houses. Again, how many houses do you think have been lost . We are unsure on the damage to the houses, but i confirm at least four houses were on fire. And the fire is on scene as they have requested mutual aid to the threealarm fire. The Police Department have gone in evacuating all the residence in a 300 block of stewart drive. Again the fire is on scene in trying to suppress the fire. We are looking at live pictures right now from sky fox showing smoke alongside highway 101 as it looks like the fire trucks have parked on the shoulder at the washington street exit near downtown loma, but the fire is dissipating. I dont know your vantage point, but they are getting a handle on this . Yes, they responded very quickly. The Police Department did evacuate people. Hopefully it is just limited to the four original structures. Do you have any reports of any injurieses in this fire . No, not yet. This started in one house and spread to the other is your understanding . We are unsure the point of origin. Or to the house or it started in the house and quickly spread north due to the breeze. Now that it looks like the smoke is diminishing. When you see the fire crews on the shoulder with the fire getting put out is that a good sign of the freeway reopening soon . Yeah, im not sure when the freeway will be open. Hopefully the sooner we can get them open, i know the commute is coming up, were trying to get it open. Yeah, are cal fire crews also assisting in this fire fight . Yeah. The local cal fire, but mostly petaluma and lakeville fire department. All right. All right lieutenant tim lyons, thanks for the information. The good news is no injuries. The bad news at least four homes have been lost in this fire that broke out a short time ago maybe within the last half hour in petaluma. But firefighters have done quick work on this on a very hot day in the bay area. It looks like they pretty much got a handle on it. It doesnt look like it is spreading. We dont see any flames right now, just some smoke coming up from the area, but the fire is getting knocked down and hopefully highway 101 will be reopen soon, which of course gets very crowded this time of the day as people are leaving the city heading up towards santa rosa. Good news that the fire is getting put out. We will keep you posted as the story unfolds throughout the rest of the afternoon. Now to the san rafael bridge. The eastbound lanes have been closed now for eight hours after a big rig crash and caught fire this morning. Yeah, crews have spent much of the day cleaning up the wreckage there and also assessing damage to the bridges support structures. In a short time ago we finally got an update on just when officials expect to reopen that stretch of the bridge. Ktvu tom vacar is live in court where there is a big backup of people trying to get across the bridge and they cant, tom . Reporter well ill show you where we are right now as we are on sir Francis Drake boulevard. The traffic heading west. Which means that it will be going to highway 580 in order to get across the bridge going towards richmond and berkeley and all of that. But the trouble is when these folks get around the corner, they will be diverted back onto anderson or told to turn around and that is why you see the cars coming back this way. The reason for all of that is that the bridge is still closed. They are not letting anybody close to it. As a result this is the last disappointment that a lot of people are getting at. You will see that all of these trucks and all of these cars, they kind of thought they would be able to get across the bridge. Of the few that wanted to get this way, they are probably not very happy either. But the overwhelming majority of the people thought they would get across the bridge over to the east bay and that it is simply not going to happen. Now the last i heard that they are talking about 6 00, but the other people said that it might be longer than that because of the damage done by this truck eight hours ago. And certainly seems to be taking a long time to do this, but that depends on the condition of the highway on the bridge, and it depends if a whole bunch of other variables and most importantly it depends on when they finally say that it will be time to rock n roll and right now if you are thinking about rocking and rolling that your best bet will be to go south through the city to get to the east bay or north up to going across sears point. But then they saw a problem with 37 going into vallejo, which is pretty packed as well. If you dont have to make the trip, dont make the trip because thats the situation here. And it doesnt seem to be improving as we say that you see people moving, but they are basically being sent right back to san rafael because there is no other place for them to go. Reporting live tom vacar ktvu fox 2 news. Tom, i was going to say that this is really a Ripple Effect because now we have a fire inside petaluma. So if you are trying to avoid this mess on the san rafael bridge to try to get to the vallejo area or beyond and youre thinking about taking highway 37, well highway 101 is closed to lakeville, which is just past the 37 turnoff. You could be having some big problems trying to get across highway 37 as well. Reporter yeah, well this morning i came in to work and i normally go across the Richmond Bridge going over towards oakland when in fact i had to go through the city and a trip that usually takes 40 minutes, even in traffic to an hour and 40 minutes. The situation here is that this is the commute of the direction right now. These folks want to get across the east bay because they either work in the city and they want to get back to the east bay. There is a mess here because there is really nothing that they could do other than turn back into san rafael, which is not a good description. If they are trying to get up north to santa rosa it will be another big problem. And one has to remember that the other people are thinking the same thing. If you dont have to drive, i dont think that you should drive. Yeah, i would just pull over and have a nice dinner, wait it out and relax. Yes, tom vacar live for us, thanks, tom. Well in the meantime crews are continuing to battle the loma fire in santa clara county. That fire broke out yesterday. It has already burned 1,500 acres so far. It is just 5 contained. It broke out as i mentioned yesterday afternoon southeast of highway 17 near the top of the loma mountain. One home has been destroyed, hundreds more there are threatened. Evacuation orders have been issued and hundreds of residence have now left their home. We came out here last night, you know, it wasnt this far out last night. Yeah we drove right past here last night and none of this was burned. Up along the hillside. You thought you had time because the fire wasnt here . Yeah. And we didnt realize how far it had spread. Over the past hour there has been an increase in the number of aerial units making passes overhead. They say the goal is to make sure the flames dont jump across summit road and spread into santa cruz county. Ktvu jesse gary is on the scene. Hell have a live report updating us on the situation coming up at 5 00. Authorities spent the Early Morning hours evacuating homes in the area threatened by the fire. About 300 homes are in the fires path. Santa clara county Sheriff Deputies went door to door warning people about the fire telling them to evacuate. One of our news crew asked people to pack up their cars, asking to stay with nearby friends or relatives. There were horses and other livestock that needed to be rescued. They were taken down the mountain in trailers. We spoke to some people who were told to evacuate. Everybody has been up all night trying to get everything that they can together to leave and some people have left already. What are your plans . My plans are to stay here until my home is secure as long as they leave the road open, im not going to leave. Im not going to leave until ive had 50 cars back here since it got dark. And smoke and ash fell in some of the mountain communities. One homeowner showed us what it looked like on his truck. Many of them remember the coy fire that burned near the same area back in 2001. They are all hoping that firefighters will be successful in protecting their homes. One resident who is a volunteer firefighter for the Mountain Community went up the hill to see if he could help. And it has been a very dry year. We saw the fire about 2 45 yesterday looking out our living room window. It was up in the hills. We immediately started doing the stuff weve been prepared for and ive got, you know, Fire Fighting equipment that belonged to the volunteers. And we will do what we can. There are three Evacuation Centers that are set up. So Cal High School on old san jose road in oka road, and the Morgan Hill Presbyterian Church on dewitt avenue. All right, lets turn things over to our meteorologist to find out about the weather conditions that are facing those firefighter there is. Bill, yesterday we were talking about the conditions near that loma fire. The wind did not seem to be a big factor. Had it picked up at all today . Not really, heather. Its been relatively mild. The direction has changed a little bit. We are not saying the southerly flow too much. But it was blowing smoke into the bay. Now we are seeing more of a northwesterly or westerly flow in this area, which is taking the smoke down towards bakersfield and fresno. But the fire is still a very large fire, it is being terrain driven. Theres not a lot of wind driving it, but the humidities have come up just a little bit. So as we look at the temperatures today, youre a little cooler than yesterday. In some places like the north bay youre 8 degrees cooler. Oakland is 14 degrees cooler. In the fire zone youre about four degrees cooler. Right now in the loma prieta fire, 22 degrees. 22 is the humidity with winds at 5 miles per hour. The conditions are going to improve in a couple of ways. Its going to cool off over the next couple of days. That is going to help firefighters. The humidities are going to come up, but then we will see the winds kick up. The winds will come from a westerly direction and because of that direction they will increase humidity and cool temperatures, but wind is what firefighters hate to deal with especially in the terrain driven fire. Thats going to be a double edge sword. It is very important to know what kind of containment they could get on the fire today. Up here you saw ken and heather talk about that. 85 degrees there. 30 humidity and the winds are southwest at about 5 miles an hour. In that area, you know, the temperatures have dropped quite a bit and the humidity is coming up rapidly with the fog moving through the bay right now. All right, thank you very much, bill. All right, the president ial candidates are back on the campaign trail. And both are declaring victory after last nights first president ial debate. Donald trump, he spoke at a round table discussion in miamis Little Havana neighborhood where he criticized the normalization of the relations with cuba by president obama. He told the crowd there that many polls will show that he won last nights debate, which he calls a big league event. It is a very important moment talking about a lot of very important subjects including jobs, including the immigration. You folks know more about immigration than anybody. But immigration, it is such an important subject. And our military, our vets are taking care of our vets. This is a man that will go and calling our military a disaster. Who will go around, criticizing every institution from healthcare to educate. But he probably hasnt paid a penny to support our troops or our vets, our our schools. The democratic nominee was in rally, North Carolina today. Last nights debate is likely to set a record as the most watched ever with more than 81 Million People tuned in across the networks. Thats compared to 80. 6 million for the debate between jimmy carter and Ronald Reagan back in 1980. Now coming up a little bit later at 4 30 were going to speak to supporters of donald trump and Hillary Clinton to get their take on last nights debate. The key witness at a potential murder trial speaks in the courtroom today. The grizzly details coming up. Plus, a couple in halloween masks robbed in orinda. We are continuing to follow breaking news out of petaluma where several homes have been burned. Highway 101 northbound has been closed. Well have an update coming up. In 1803, a man bought the territory of louisiana for 42 cents an acre. That was the greatest deal ever. Until i made this one. Now you can get my jumbo breakfast platter for just 2. 99. Take that history. Scrambled eggs, eight mini pancakes, a hash brown, and your choice of bacon or sausage. Its the greatest deal since the louisiana purchase. Sort of. The jumbo breakfast platter just 2. 99 for a limited time. Value, done my way. Robbers targeted a couple in orinda last night beating the man, shooting the woman, then speeding off with a stolen wallet. Those suspects were wearing halloween masks. Reporter all of this unfolded in the claire month neighborhood on the country club side of orinda. Police were looking for any evidence. Now a couple tells police before the robbery and shooting that the wife picked up the husband at the orinda bart station. The two stopped by a nearby safeway store. This morning we saw a Police Officer talking to store personnel to see if they fold the couple from the safeway or the bart station. Police tell us that the couple, they were getting out of their car at their home when they were approached by two men in halloween masks. They demanded the male victims wallet and then pistol whipped him. That man was still in the area when he heard two gunshots as the woman was hit by the gunfire and the shooters then took off. That woman was taken to the hospital with nonlife threatening and multiple Police Agencies were here on the scene looking for those suspects or any clues about who they might be. The neighbors have identified the couple involved as tom spalding and carol brown. Brown is the Vice President of the Orinda Union School District Board of trustees. We have talked to some neighbors this morning that have been in contact with the family. They tell me that brown is currently recovering in the hospital from her injuries and that they are hoping to hear from her a little bit later on today. But they are saying she is expected to recover from these injuries. In orinda Christien Kafton ktvu fox 2 news.

We were shocked and stunned that Orinda School Board Vice President carol brown and her husband tom spalding were victims of a robbery and shooting that took place near their home last night in orinda. We are greatly relieved that the injuries are not life threatening and that carol is receiving excellent care.

Angold said that the next day the three decided to steal a car. He said that lampley shot steve carter several times after they waited for him to return to his car from a hike. Angold testified that he had to wash the blood they stole from carters pocket wash the blood off the money that they store from carters pockets.

And one of at least four homes destroyed by fire northbound highway 101 in petaluma at lakeville is closed. Another update is coming up. Advil liqui gels work so fast youll ask what bad back .

Even a marching band. And if i can get comfortable talking about this kiester, then you can get comfortable using preparation h. For any sort of discomfort in yours. Preparation h. Get comfortable with it. So exciting. Everything is going on right now in the sports world. The warriors kicked off their First Official practice today. It is hard to believe. The team is now taking on a new look, im talking about the addition of kevin durant and our sports anchor joe fonzi was out there today. He is still adjusting to the new life here in the bay area, huh . Yes, he is. It feels like it has been such a short time because for two years in a row that they have gone all the way to the end. And it is hard to believe that we are right back where we were for those of us who followed them that it is hard to believe that they could get more Media Coverage this season. But thats when happens when two players represent the last three nba most valuable player awards. The doors to the warriors practice facility opened today. And 2014 most valuable player kevin durant with shooting on one end of the court. The 2015 and 2016 mvp steph curry was shooting at his usual basket with as many practices that they have seen that there is something exciting about the first one of the new season. This is my fifth year. Everyone knows what i have been doing here in this league that im not new. I may be new to the team, but not to the game. And im going to do what i normally do, man, go out there and play the game and everybody respects us. For us to be as great as we want to be every day that you have to learn about something. That every day has to be 100 focused in on the nuances of how it makes this Team Different than last year and how we are going to be able to flow and to have that rhythm that we need to have. There isnt much time for the warriors to get ready for their first preseason game. That game is this saturday in toronto. The warriors played seven pre season games before opening the regular season. Now that night, its at home on tuesday october 25. And against the san antonio spurs, so we are not quite to october. But that it is just right around the corner. Yes, it is. But the giants were in their preseason, their Summer League for this year. So i mean that this season isnt over yet. Theres a lot of overlap. Yes, bit time they are finally finished that it is one kind of an interesting anecdote about kevin durant today and that he said he woke up a little bit early, he was excited about the first day of practice. The one thing that he had to adjust for in the bay area was traffic. To have that in oklahoma city. Around that area, right . Exactly. I just want to get your take on the kind of excitement. Is it different this year . It is different in the sense that he was the highprofile free agent during their off season that they went out and got it. And that will make it, you know, they would get the two high most profile teams on the league. They also lost some players, very familiar players a part of their first two championship runs and the ones as we like it and the way the warriors would like it to. So there are new things to go over this year and a lot of faces that were not there last year. But there are some National Entities with a couple of National Newspapers that are staffing the warriors for the entire season as we are going to see the National Coverage this year like we have never seen before obviously because of their track record the last two years, but also because of the highprofile players on the team. All right. No pressure. I know, right . No pressure. Exactly. If they dont win it all, its a failure. Hey, thats what it is like the 80s super bowl is a bust. And that is the way it is for the warriors. Theyll be disappointed if they dont win at all. All right, a lot to look forward to. It is not only people in the United States that are watching the race for the president. We all have reactions from the world coming up. Speaking of the president ial debate.

But how are supporters feeling about it . Joining us now is peggy and corin from the trust campaign. But my first question will start with you corin. How do you think that they did . Well start with you first. I thought that he did very well last night and he was very poised, he showed a lot of leadership. I was surprised by Hillary Clinton. She was practicing for four days straight and she came out as the exact same person weve always seen her. Peggy, what do you think . Was it the same old Hillary Clinton . You know i think what we saw last night was a commander in chief in action and someone that knew the issues, they knew how to respond to the community to get things done. Not somebody who was just kind of, you know, guessing at what it will take to actually be a commander in chief. I thought she did a really good job. But you know this is still early. This race is not over by no means, but we felt very good about her delivery yesterday. All right, they covered a lot of territory last night. One of the more controversial issues is the issues of birthers. Lets play a clip from the debate last night and get your reaction. Well nobody was pressing it, nobody was caring much for it. I figured that you would ask the question tonight, of course, but no one was caring much about it. But i was the one that would get them to produce a birth certificate and i did a good job. Waiting for my mic to come on. Donald trump said that basically he is not going to say anything more about this issue when they were asked whether or not that they would have anything to say to the African American community that might be offended by all of this. How do you think that they handled it last night . They handled that sign, you know, we have never had a problem with that question being raised that i think it will be a fair question. Barack obama and their father was born in kenya and that their mother was here in america and it is a fair question. I dont understand why barack obama didnt produce it from day one and if someone were to ask me if i were born in the United States that i would pull out my birth certificate and proudly show it. I think the fact that Hillary Clinton called it a racist issue is really disheartening to me because that it is a fair question. That just because the color of my skin is brown and the color of Barack Obamas skin is brown doesnt mean we have the same heritage in this country. Barack obama is not a descendent of slaves. His family has not been here in this country for 400, 500 years in the the same way that my family has. And so to ask a question like that, i think its fair. Barack obama took a few years to answer, but finally that he produced the birth certificate so it is over. All right peggy is it over . One of the crazy questions, you know, being involved in obamas campaign for so many years ever since he got elected to office in having to deal with if he was born here or not, what a waste of time. He was born here, we have known this, and he made it clear some time ago. But just keep in mind, you know, that trump Just Announced and said that it is okay. Yes, he was born here. I mean like really . This has been going on for a long time as we always knew that he was born here and what a waste for the conversation to have that across america and how i felt it to be, but you know that it is one of those many things and how they role and that definitely unfortunate. But like really . And that we should be shooting way past that a long time ago. And that it is the fact that trump is yet to release their tax return and that last night he said that he would under one condition. Lets take a listen. I will say this that we have a situation in this country that has to be taken care of. That i will release my tax returns against my lawyers wishes. When she releases her 33,000 e mails that have been deleted. As soon as she releases them, i will release, i will release my tax returns. Okay, now you heard that there and that the fact that trump has not released his tax returns, that they have prompted suggestions that he could be hiding something. Why not release them, huh . And that i just want to go back to it, you know, Hillary Clinton brought up the birther issue again and that is why its a topic of conversation. But lets move on to the next. But as far as, you know, the tax return situation. I mean that i have to decide with mr. Trump on this that i would like to see whats in those 33,000 emails that Hillary Clinton deleted and i would like to know why her stuff has now been granted immunity, you know, that they keep saying that they are hiding something, but clearly deleting emails so that they are absolutely hiding something from the american people. We want to know. And i think that americans, they care way too much about whats in those emails than whats in their taxes. Peggy do you agree . You know, it is just an interesting thing, the one candidate that feels like they will not have a show and historically what every president has and that they are being transparent as you can trust me, you know, i think that they would imply that they have not paid any taxes, and that it will make them smarter than everyone else. I think that they are just trying to figure out whatever they can and that they are not even doing what every president does and that it will be unfortunate for us as americans. Peg peg, thank you for talking with us. We appreciate it. Thank you. All right americans are not the only ones that paid extra close attention to the first president ial debate last night. Many others from across the globe tuned in to see how they stacked up. We have more from london. Viewers from around the world would join tens of millions of u. S. Voters to watch the first televised president ial debate on monday. During the debate, donald trump repeatedly clashed with the democratic rival Hillary Clinton. Reporter we have arrived in a very polarized situation with the extreme candidate. And i dont think that it will be in the interest of the United States. It is a pity. And how many sparred over their economy and their use of the private email server and trumps unwillingness to release their income tax return. And despite touching on the number of International Topics from encountering isis to international trade. I think that maybe trump will be more friendly to china and because china in the u. S. Will share their vast common interest especially in commercial areas. Some expected them to further their detail and their stances on israel. Does it matter who will be elected . The american support of israel that they will remain strong. It is that they would need to lift that status quo. But the question is if you want to defeat isis and defeat terror, how can you be blinded through the fact that you cannot do that without ending that . They found Common Ground on at least one front saying that they would respect the outcome of the election. I support our democracy. I certainly will support the outcome of this election. Reporter the answer is if she wins that i will absolutely support her. Reporter trump and clinton, they have two more opportunities to face off in october. The Vice President ial debate will be held next tuesday in virginia. In london fox news. From the World Health Organization, just how many people in the world are living in areas with excessive air pollutions. And it is slightly cooler out there today. Temperatures are on the decline now. No heat advisory, no spare the air day for tomorrow. Ill let you know what to expect as you cross into your bay area wednesday. Joining us now is our political analyst. Some traveling statistics. Yeah, they have to do it with a number of People Living in the places with their high level of air pollution. Now with this new report. Our report from the World Health Organization applies nine out of ten people around the world with an area of excessive air pollution. 92 of us would live where they exceed their limits. And it is the premium for them. That it will be outside in addition to understand for sure. For them to take action. Reporter they say that outdoor air pollution causes some three Million Deaths each year when combined with indoor air quality. That number jumps to 6. 5 million annually. Such as vascular problems, strokes, and lung cancer. They can clog your arteries. The modes of transportation, industrial activities as the main sources of air pollution. They can alsoly a role in southeast asia, all among the hardest hit locations. I thought they would feel the room for improvement. Reporter the royal Health Organization is launching a brief campaign and to raise awareness of the issues related to air pollution. Encouraging things like walking, bike riding, and other efficient homes to help improve the air quality. In london Katie Logan Fox news. Boy that is really sobering when you hear the number of people affected by the high level of air pollution. Lets check in with our meteorologist bill martin. Something that will affect us here in the bay area. Now weve got the one in the south bay and the Santa Cruz Mountains and the fire here in petaluma. Of course the saw mill fire. Thats right a lot of fires are burning here, the time of the year that well see the fire. The pet lieu the loma prieta is coming up there to over 1,500 acres. A lot of smoke there. What were seeing right now, the smoke is not blowing up into the bay, but blowing down more in towards the central valley, more towards fresno, stockton, and the areas south. Thats good news for the air quality because today was a spare the air day. It will not be a spare the air day tomorrow. Temperatures in the prior zone down a couple of degrees with a little bit offer of that increased humidity. That trend will continue. As we come in close the fog is back and that is how you know that things are starting to change around. The fog will be a cooler day tomorrow, slightly cooler today, especially in the north bay with some areas that are 5 to 10 degrees cooler yesterday. In the marine district its getting foggy right now. Very foggy. And fog back in the forecast with temperatures trending down. Look at greens and the yellows here as you can see them talking about it. Weve got a lot of cool air filtering into the bay for the first time in a while. I mean its been dry. And it is hot and dry. 8 degrees cooler right now in santa rosa. 12 degrees cooler in hayward and those temperatures are going to continue to trend down. Theres the fog forecast for tomorrow morning with a bunch of it as you can see it all in here with the fog burning back. Look for the reds. Those ix those are 90s in those areas.
