Know it is you mentioned parking structure as well. Do we know if it is an active parking structure in use so theres we didnt know that. I just i hear the Incident Commander talking about the parking structure, and theyre very busy but this is a building under construction. So we dont know if there are any car, in fact on the right you can see our picture from San Francisco, i believe thats our camera that is mounted on a Tall Building in San Francisco that you can see it from San Francisco, the flameflames have we heard anything about evacuations . It looks like a densely packed in area. We have heard the crews arriving in the area. I havent heard anything about evacuations. A lot of this is oakland, so i dont know if anybody has been evacuated but just i know the area and there are a lot of let me turn this fire radio down quickly so i can hear you. There are some warehouses there but there are also some in that area. 242 near grand avnue, that is our breaking news right now, mornings on the. We will bring you details. I am looking at them. There are a mixed use area. There are a lot of possibly residents that are in that area as well. Rosemary is talking about wind. Theres fire and embers could go quite a way if it is windy. I want to point out like you said thats a good thing. We dont want the buildings next to it or any grass to catch fire there. On the flip side you will have the just as you get above 5, 6, 7 feet, and thats why the cloud deck is going harsontal and those two combined again just helping that smoke to linger over oakland this morning. I will say while we wont see the spread. A building under construction, under fire, near grand avnue, you can see in these pictures the intensity and you can also see the smoke that it is causing. Right. Again, as sal mentioned we do have a crew, and we will get a live report from the ground there to get more information for you, sal of course continuing to cover a number of streets closed. This is not far from lake merit. So n a straight leg raising busy part of oaklanding and see theyre showing you can see the april2412. Ecl . But the president also under pressure from democrats at home to bring up russian meddling in last years u. S. Election. He 5 00 knocked that russia may have played a acknowledged. I think it was russia exam it could have been other people in other countries. A lot of people could have interfere. Dont expect too many links from the u. S.

She was wearing a green shirt, blue genes and black shoes. If you have jean, black shoes, if you have any information, call police. We want to go back to breaking news as we have been telling you you can see the flames from San Francisco. You can definitely see the flames from the freeway. There are roads closed. This is not far from lake merit and grand. It is a mixed use area. There are homes in the area, buildings in the area, this that caught fire in the beginning building under construction, this is valdez, again near grand avnue, we understand that theres a parking structure. Yeah. We dont know if there are cars parked in that parking structure that are ininvolveed and possibly a construction crane as well that can pose a big danger but you can see the extent of that very black smoke which indicates it is a very active fire. We will bring rosemary back again, jump in here, rosemary is talking about how the wind is a factor in what were seeing live in oakland right now. Now. The winds as we know can fan flames and drive the fire as well as spread the fire. So in the way of that, we are actually very fortunate that we have really light winds out there, even calm some observation, on the flip side as i talked about this, all that smoke just kind of lingering. We need a little bit of wind to help drive that out and mix it up and clear it out of the way. So without the wind were going to definitely smell it and feel it more so than had we a nice little breeze to curry it away. Theres also an inversion and that puts a lid on the atmosphere and thats why you see the black cloud just kind of go vertical or i should say horizontal oppose today flat up. That will also cause it to linger over oakland. The winds are light. Thats great news in the sense of trying to get this fire. But as far as smoke goes not good new. The wind may not be a factor but we have heat as well. Yes. I mean thankfully it is the coolest time of day as we get close to sun rise. Were at the coolest part and relative humidity is up. Thats great new, had this been in the afternoon, when humidity is down, it is very hot as wino that also help it is fire to burn that much froster and that much hotter. All right. Thats a okay. Just to a close upshot but we are showing the flames so theyre on the right but you can see flames from San Francisco. We do have two reporters on the way to the scene. We have this is a crane involved with thisc thats dangerously unsecured. Oh gosh. It is only secured by a counter weight and now theyre telling oakland firefighter that they have to move their equipment back it is not bolted. It has a counter weight. They have to push back for safety of the firefighters and for safety of people around, and the better location we have is valdez street between 23rd and 24th and the building is also by waiverly street. This about a block up or a couple of blocks way from the catholic church, the cathedral of christ, it is pretty close to whole foods market, and that area. Sal, on the left hand side of everyones screen, this is our photographer there on scene now. These are first live pictures from right there. Hes on scening and see the crane. You can see the crane theyre talking about and again, so they have just set out the word that these, these fire trucks, this equipment has to move back a little bit out of the shot, out of range of the crain, that is only secured by a counter weight according to building zone. If we want to just reiterate, you are watching ktvu mornings on 2. The time is 5 12. These are live pictures from fire, a building under construction, in oakland. The address 200 block of valdez near grand avnue, and this is out of control and in the middle of that, our photographer sid is aiming at the crain thats in the middle of it and as sal just said, Fire Fighters have been told to back away because the crain is not secured. All right. We are checking in. You can see still firefighters close by, but certainly presenting what could be a very dangerous situation. And we are checking in to see if there are any evacuations in this, at this time. There again, theres that crane, and the fire lads are are trying to put that out, but there are homes nearby. Yeah. And a lot of building, again not far from grand and lake merit, a very busy area of oakland, morally this time of day as people get up and get ready to go to work. Have you heard anything about what was being built, the name of the building . Theres a lot of construction going on in that area, whether it is restaurants, housing, hotel, have you heard what is being built there. No, dave. I do not know. They havent even talked about it, but they do talk about it being a large building with a parking structure underneath. They did talk, just remembering that area, because i am pretty familiar with it, this use today be low level, kind of the one or two story warehouses, and this building obviously, was going to be a pretty high one, and now it is on fire. But, dave, i dont know exactly what that building was going to be far. We will know soon, and again as pom was saying we will keep anyone the weather, and if there are any evacuations. We have been seeing firefighter at the scene. We havent seen them in a panic situation. We seen them right her in our camera right now, photographer sid is watching them. We will keep anyone whether there are evacuations or any other potential dangers to People Living in the area or people working near. Ironically it is happening at the very beginning of the rush hour. Yes. It is i am looking at the satellite picture of this area, it looks like, yeah you can see the building under construction. Theres also the decree kuwaitive gregg art center, not far from them, and then the city of oakland parking structure, nearby. So, we are going to go to a break right now, again, were covering this live fire in oakland. We have reporters and photographers there on scene, and we will be right back with more details. What should i watch . Show me sports. Its so fluffy look at that fluffy unicorn hes so fluffy im gonna die your voice is awesome. The x1 voice remote. Xfinity. The future of awesome. S0q our time is 5 18. We are breaking new, these are live pictures from downtown oakland. A building under construction on fire right now, the address 242 valdez. This is near grand avnue. This is burning out of control. Our cameras are there not only as the building out of construction, but here is another view. You can see the thick black smoke over towntown oakland as we see. Also theres a crane, i believe it is to the left on the camera here, that theyre concerned about. It is an unsecured crane in the middle of these flame. Hey, dave. They just called for a fourth alarm. They asked. A full alarm assignment has been struck. That means for Fire Fighters are waking up in oakland and heading to this fire from all over. They already have three alarms and they struck a fourth alarm. That means fight firers are arriving and all over almeda county, firefighter waking up and covering pardon me, covering oakland stations because of this multialarm fire. Theyre worried about the embers raining down. Theyre worried about exposure here from this large construction site on valdez and 24th. It look like it was going to be a pretty large mixed use area let me come back to you. Im having microphone problem. Thats okay. Feel free to jump back in any time. Rosemary is here and you are talking about how the wind is a pack or or is not a factor and what were watching live. The winds are generally light which on one hand definitely, a positive thing because as we know, that wind will fan the flames and cause that fire to spread even faster, and bring risk to these buildings that are right nearby. On the flip side, all that smoke, it was just going to linger. We dont have the wind to help transport it out of here. So, folks, it looks like the winds are generally coming in from the westsouth west and a little northwest as well which means if you are east of this fire, perhaps area like pedestrian monday going toward montclair. These people are likely to get some of this smoke because that looks like the general direction of the wind even though it is generally light, definitely downtown, uptown going to see exit smell it. As you know, any tip of smoke is bad for you. So you always want to deep those windows closed and hit the recirculate button on your a c if you can. But in any case, this is going be something that goes on all morning long and as you talked about, dave, thankfully it is cold out there. It could be really warm and on the temperatures are hot that is correct helps to drive the fire as well. So, i guess as far as weather spoking not a bad morning out there but wow what a fire. If you look at the right hand side of your screen there it look like it is getting even bigger at this point. Construction material. Construction. It was a building under construction. I am hearing on twitter, if people are watching and you can give us a little more information if you are in that area or familiar with the area, quiet says that it is a cup of miles from his job site, and so were troying to find out exactly what building, what kind of building was under construction, there is parking nearby. There could be a number of cars involved and we know that there are theres an art center like it sounds locate a coop possibly near the area as well. So were keeping an i didnt on that. As sal mentioned a number of vets are closeed and theyre concerned about a crane there on the construction site that is not considered stable, that is certainly those construction cranes as we know are very tall. That could present a very big danger to people in the area. We have on the phone with us right now, here on morning on 2, time is 5 22. We is the superintendent of construction right next to what were watching. Can you hear me now. Yes, i can. Please if you yourself and forgive me for not getting your name correctly. My name is robert gert. Im one of the the superintendents on this project. Theres two projects directly to north, one next door and one across the vote. What was being built there and what are you seeing throughout . First, what was being built . Okay, what was being built a mixed use multifamily with parking on the her two floors for the residence kents and then i believe it is eight stories but i am not exactly sure on that, but i believe it is eight stories of apartments above grade on the theres so much construction, it so i understand like there would some other buildings right here this building, certainly this could this could spread. Theres several older structures much smaller buildings across the street and next door. Really, out of the corner of valdez and 24th, my project is my project is across the street, across 24th on valdez. Were early in a phase. Were just doing concrete right now, so nos much anything with the other project across the street. It is also in early stages but fire issues are something were constantly aware of, and prepared for so i am sure that they are taking precautions as well. Live with us, robert who has a building right near what you are watching on tv, rove in downtown oakland. Any concerns about your project and the people also near your project . Not so much on our project although the crane, if the crane falls it could reach. Thats probably my biggest concern because if that crane falls there are a number of structures around that it would reach. And that is probably the biggest concern i would have at the moment. The fire is pretty contained at the site, and so it is not spreading too much but the crane is not something anybody could do too much about. It can reach several buildings around, and i imagine the Fire Department is going to evacuate everything in reach of that crane. Thats what were waiting to hear, is thats a problem getting in and around that area. Correct, yeah. They have it blocked off from around here. And there are several buildings around that it would reach. Dealership, businesses, theres resident, several things around that it would be within range. We will hopefully that will not happen. Robert, thank you, and you are with the project nearby, whats on our screen right now, thank you for taking the time to talk to us. We appreciate it. Were going switch and turn over to alex, ktvu alex savage. You are out there right now. What are you seeing, and what are you hearing. Good morning to you. Were at the corner of valdez and grand, and i was just talking to some people who live in this building that is just caddy corner to this, to the building thats on fire right now, and under construction, they live here, and just a few minutes ago we saw a whole bunch of people coming out of this building. They have been evacuated buzz of the danger you see just because of the danger. Theyre being told to leave that building and get to a safe location. Thats where they are, here just one block away at valdez and grand as this fire continues to burn out of control this machining, obviously you have oakland firefighters, you have Fire Fighters from across the region who are coming here to help bring this four under criminal. We just got here to the scene. Were trying to get information information from the oakland Fire Department as you can well imagine, theyre in the midst of trying to get a handle on this fire. Everyone is quite busy. Were working to get more information from them. We know this is a building thats under construction, and it look like it is a pretty go ahead ways into the construction here, at least from my perspective here, and this building, again it is a huge plume of flame smoke into the air exam also ash is raining down on this neighborhood, all the streets you can see all of the ash falling on top of your head this morning. And al incompetent. Obviously theres a concern about the embers you can see them coming up into the air. Theres a real concern for fight Fire Fighters about those falling on to nearby building. That would be a major issue. And specking of the nearby buildings, alex, if you can tell us again, if people are just joining us because were looking at the satellite. It welcomes like this building on fire is not far from broadway and a number of car dealersships as well. Is that whole area closed off . I pulled up the maam and theres a kia and an aldi dealership. And a mitsubishi. From what i can tell it doesnt look like theyre in any sort of immediate, theyre notifiesing an immediate threat. It looks like theyre far enough away that i wouldnt be concerned about those structures but there are buildings, apartment buildings, this condo tower here cross the street that would be of concern. Right. Thats what i want today give people an idea of wanted to giver people an idea of where it was. Were looking at the shot the condo development. Is that the building, it is very close with the embers and fire. Is that building, are they being completely i having waited at this time. Thats what it sound like from people coming out of the building. I had a few people coming out, people in bath robes who were woken up by this and grabbed whatever they could and got out of building. People walking out saying they were told to get out. Some people woke up and saw what was going on and thought i should get out of this building just in case. Thats a good thing. Amount is christian, christian, where are you . What are you seeing and what are you hear something. Can you hear me . I can. Can you hear us, dave. We can hear you. Okay. So were here at 23rd an
