6:04 am
they ask folks along high street and by 882 stay inside and close their doors and windows. because of those concerns related to air quality. at this hour we are waiting to get an update on exactly where things stand with the response. they are on scene continuing to check for hotspots. we should mention that there were no injuries in this fire, high street still remains closed and they are early into the investigation, no word yet on the cause. >> thank you so much for that. let's bring in jessica burch to talk about what people at home need to know about the air quality in their area. >> i was just taking a look at the achy white widespread and for the most part we are all in the green room the santa clara valley stretching north. we will continue to keep a close eye on that into the afternoon and it is a beautiful one as we

6:08 am
nothing other than a suicide run. they knew that they had to do it to save the marines. >> within that were other stories like that of the chief officer mckinley who flew aboard a ship and joined the navy in 1937 and was just about to get out of service when pearl harbor attack. >> he was not released out of his four-year contract and serve the next four years on an extended tour of duty. >> mckinley's family was at the ceremony offering a book about his wartime experiences. he was on the uss san francisco when it emerged undamaged from the pearl h■arbor ttacks and seemed to move from one major battle to another. >> they were on their way to midway and found out that had gone down the way it had and then they reverted course. that was proceeding guadalcanal. he

was out there. >> mckinley's scout plane had been removed from the ship prior to the bloody battle that killed 103 men including her captain and admiral but the plane was used afterwards to track the japanese ships and rescue american sailors from the sea. most of it was never talked about until mckinley's family convinced him to put his memories down on paper before his death in 1996. >> i don't think the bravery and heroism of these men and women can accurately be understood without hearing it from their own words. a changed what the people on the uss san francisco were able to do and to change the outcome of our country. i think we lose that because we are so in the present of here and now. >> now a new chapter has been added to the story of the uss san francisco and it will be up to the generations to follow to
