Im marcus washington. Im laura garcia. That strike was suspended by Union Leaders yesterday as negotiations continue. Nbc bay areas kris sanchez is outside of San Jose City hall as leaders are meeting. Whats the latest, kris . Reporter well, we saw San Jose City workers showing up for work today as scheduled instead of going onto the picket lines because of that agreement that appears to be close between what the city wants and what the union wants. The San Jose City council went into closed session just after 9 30 this morning to consider that agreement. No one signed up for public comment, so i think everyone is playing it pretty close to the vest. City negotiators and Union Leadership were close enough to put a 24hour pause on the threeday planned strike which was, as you said, supposed to begi

Environment. Reporter if she thought she was going to spend the weekend in a classroom, she got a surprise when she found herself dressed in full turnouts climbing a 30foot ladder. I got to a point where i started to panic and i was going to stop. But i kind of just like told myself that i could do it. And i came here for a reason. So. Yeah. Reporter she is one of three dozen young women invited to first in fire camp sponsored by the Berkeley Fire Department. Purpose was to recruit more women to the fire service but the first challenge is convincing them that they can do it. A lot of the firefighters we have here, their dad or uncle or brother did it too.

9 00. Two children, a mother and a father. Now our chopper flew over the scene at foothill road near stoneridge drive where it happened around 9 00 last night. There was only one car involved.

So we want to do everything that we can to support them and just want to ma
