scene of the fire, which was called in on good friday around 230 in the morning. >> there were fire trucks all up and down, julian and the big ladder over the church and water flowing through the streets, and it smelled like fire. so i thought the church was done for the church building, and the damage meant the church couldn't open its daytime shelter. >> we were able to put up tents outside. our folks came in and as shocked as we were, our folks were equally like shocked. >> lydia branson is the executive director of the gubbio project, the nonprofit operating the shelter and other services out of the church. >> to have your safe place be affected by something like a fire is jarring for everybody. >> and as for the weekend's easter services, the reverend says they've been given the go ahead by the fire department and the shelter will likely be open back up tuesday. but that could be short lived. >> the future holds construction and when they doing the

warnings can help bring down fentanyl related deaths as measles cases remain on the rise, with nearly 100 cases reported in the u.s. this year, that's almost double the total from all of last year. so how can you protect yourself and your family? abc seven news reporter lauren martinez has advice from local doctors. several bay area health officials are releasing a unified message be vigilant as measles cases rise. >> a lot of times when we're putting out statements, there's already a situation happening. this was really an opportunity for us to be more proactive, do what we really want to do and prevent cases, prevent larger situations from developing. >> health officers from all nine bay area counties and others are urging the public to be up to date on measles vaccines. the message is particularly important for anyone traveling internationally out of the bay area's three major airports, we are a hub for international travel in the bay area, and we know that people are going to be

traveling internationally for spring break with their families, with their friends. >> the cdc says 90% of measles cases in the u.s. is linked to international travel. >> most cases reported this year have been among children 12 months and older who had not received the measles, mumps rubella vaccine. doctor jason nagata, a pediatrician, says measles presents the greatest risk for children under five years old. >> in general in the bay area, we're pretty good about vaccination rates. but that being said, we're not perfect and many kids got behind during the pandemic. their immune system and rest systems aren't as robust as older children, and adults, the cdc says. >> mmr vaccines are 97% effective against measles. doctor kyle graham, an ob gyn, says they always check to see if immunity from the vaccine is still valid. in expecting mothers. >> we have been getting a lot more inquiries about measles vaccination and the mmr vaccine, the mmr vaccine is something that we check in. every pregnant woman, to see if that, to see

what their vaccination status is . there will be some people that need to get a booster. to be honest with you, i needed a booster. and so if you want to be certain that your vaccine is still valid and still working, you can definitely talk with your doctor about doing a simple blood test in the south bay. >> lauren martinez, abc seven news a beloved child care center in marin county will remain open after fears of being evicted. the ross valley school board approved the sale of fairfax san anselmo children's center, a nonprofit, now owns the property and plans to lease it back to the child care center. the $2 million deal comes after the district voted to evict the center due to costly repairs. the center has been open since 1973. to weather now and another soggy saturday out there. let's check in with lisa. >> this level one system will bring scattered showers, so we even have some sunshine in the forecast as this area of low pressure sinks to the south of

its formal name, the metropolitan oakland international airport. officials now want to replace the word metropolitan with san francisco bay. the full name would read san francisco bay oakland international airport. it would

reportedly help airline service, sustain passenger traffic and reaffirm the airport's proximity to san francisco. the airport code and visual brand would all stay the same. also in oakland, city leaders revealed plans for a development that will bring more housing and businesses to the city. the project is set to break ground in the next few months near the lake merritt bart station. this is what the completed project would look like. it includes more than 500 housing units, 200 of which will be designated as affordable housing. the development will also include office and retail space. the first phase will begin with construction of a senior affordable housing building, which will replace the bart station parking lot across the bay. lowell high school may soon have to change its testing requirements for admission, according to the chronicle, san francisco school officials proposed a plan for all students from public and private schools to take the same test in the winter of eighth grade. the

elite school says using these scores would provide equitable access to admission. lowell had previously changed to a lottery system, but a lawsuit prompted a return to merit based admissions . a concord woman got what she thought was a great deal on some land in hawaii. she planned to build a retreat center on it one day, but that dream is now on hold because someone accidentally built a home on the same lot she purchased. as daryl huff reports, this could be a very costly mistake. >> in 2018, when she took this video, ann reynolds thought she'd found a perfect, serene one acre lot to host her meditative, healing women's retreats. because of the natural foliage and alignment of all the right spiritual and astronomical elements. >> i mean, there is a sacredness to it, and the one that i chose to buy, you know, that had it had all the right qualities, the price was also right. >> available in a county tax

auction for about $22,000. but while she waited in california through the pandemic for the right time to use it, this happened. the lot was bulldozed and a house rose on the property without her knowing about it, until she got a call last year from a real estate broker who'd learned the mistake. >> and then he informed me, oh, well, i just sold the house and it happens to be on your property, so we need to resolve this. and i'm like, what? i mean, are you kidding me? >> an attorney for the builder pj's construction said the developer, qiao development partnership, hired him to build about a dozen homes on properties the developers bought in a subdivision where lots are identified by telephone poles. pj's construction said the developers didn't want to hire surveyors. >> see, there's a lot of fingers being pointed between the developer and the contractor and some subs. >> the unsellable house became a nightmare. a neighbor who requested privacy said squatters were immediately attracted to

the brand new vacant house. >> before they put the fence on this property, there were people coming already to this property started, you know, looking inside. >> when she visited and saw the bathrooms, reynolds discovered they'd done more than just look. >> both had poop. the hallway one had poop on the floor, and it was so disgusting. >> along with the cost of fencing, she's also paying property taxes that went from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. the developers tried to settle the issue, offering to swap her their lot right next door or sell her the house at a discount. she refused both offers. attorney james dipasquale said she shouldn't pay for what she doesn't want. >> it would set a dangerous precedent if you go on to someone else's land, build anything you want and then sue that individual for the value of it. >> after trying to resolve the problem, qiao development partnership sued pj's construction, the architect, the prior lot owner's family and the county which approved all the permits for construction. they also sued ann reynolds.

>> it's awful. it's awful >> it truly is awful. that was daryl huff reporting, the developer told local media he pulled all parties involved into this lawsuit. he hopes the judge can help unravel this half million dollar mistake. now to this an investigation is underway after hundreds of beehives were stolen from a ranch in the central valley. the ranch owner says nearly 200 hives were stolen from their property near selma. farmers used bees to help pollinate and grow their crops. agencies say beehive thefts are common in january through march. during the time farmers put their hives in the fields. now, the fresno county sheriff's office says just in the past four months, more than 600 hives were reported stolen from various locations. they're valued at $150,000. >> the beekeepers out 200 bucks a hive, you know, and he's done. he's got a lot of expenses in

those hives. >> the farmers say they are now considering placing motion sensors or cameras around their hives. this morning we have new insight from ucsf about this latest allergy season. you've probably heard it in my voice a few weeks back. doctors say the stuffy season is coming. earlier each year, according to an analysis of pollen count data from 60 stations across north america, spring allergy seasons begin about 20 days sooner this year than previous years. scientists attribute that to climate change affecting temperatures and plant growth. i spoke with doctor jonathan watanuki, a ucsf pediatric allergist and immunologist. he explains how allergies are having a significant impact on other illnesses, especially patients with asthma. >> when you combine these factors, lots of rainfall fueling the plant growth. uh- the long terme impact of climate change on pollen levels, it creates a really challenging environment for allergy sufferers, as i never used to

get allergies until now, and the doctor says he gets cases like that every year. >> while it's possible to develop allergies at any age, genetics may play a role as well as changes in adult immune systems. but with the rain in store this weekend, it will put some of our pollen problems on pause. lisa and i have been talking about this for weeks now. i was checking out those home tests i was telling you about. you talked about the dust earlier. i will say i have put my uv light to work so usually that cleans up any dust mites. but i do think these at home tests are pretty neat. you can test for what types of trees and grass. it really gives you a perspective. >> yeah, and have on hand i guess zyrtec right. claritin because here we go as we end the rain and get a few nice days monday and tuesday. we're really going to see things pop. in fact, i'm sure you've noticed all the things blooming outside and how green we are, so that's a plus. live doppler seven right now looking at the shower
