11:01 pm
quite literally blocked from sharing in the success. it was a visit if required hired crews , first there are multiple house fires that broke up late this afternoon in san jose, strong winds spread flames from one garage fires to five other buildings in the area. >> crews are still working on the corral fire pick is now burned more than 14,000 acres or about 22 square miles since sparking yesterday afternoon. this is the map from the san joaquin office of emergency services, showing the evacuation warnings still in effect multiple roads in the area are still closed to through traffic . a boil water notice has been issued for most of the evacuation zone due to what they are calling a water outage despite the orders to leave, one neighbor who lives across from an area where one home was lost stayed behind to make sure more homes did not go up in flames. here is john ramos.
11:02 pm
>> reporter: the fire started about 2:30 p.m. saturday on the outskirts of livermore and by the time you got over the altamonte hills, here to tracy, he became the largest wildland fire of the year so far. the grass fire started near the lawrence livermore laboratories, by the time it was campaign, had burned more than 12,000 acres. altamonte pass is known as a windy place, anyways. what we were experiencing last night was much worse than out here. we were looking at sustained winds in the high 30s, low 30s, gusting into the 60s. making it difficult to even stand, just stand there, let alone engage in trying to fight a fire. firefighters were met with those conditions, the fire was just out running them. >> reporter: in fact, firefighters suffered burn injuries when the erratic winds changed directions pushing the flames back at them. >> watching the grass burn like that was impressive. it sounds that you typically only hear in brush and timber. it was very
11:03 pm
rapidly moving. >> reporter: aldo ofo owns property in the tracy severs that he allowed firefighters to use as a base camp. about five miles from highway 580 which they were hoping would act as a natural firebreak. >> we start checking that it is across 580 and yeah, we just pray for the best at that ., right? so we do get some sort of worried but most of it is just praying that nothing would jump on this side. >> reporter: at worst, the flames stopped on the freeway, preventing a run into tracy. on the fire side of the road, they weren't so lucky. this neighborhood became the focus of the firefight, as they struggle to protect the homes of the residents had all evacuated, except for kern gill, he and his neighbor stayed behind and he took this video as flames roared down off the hills and down behind the houses. >> everything was getting lit on fire, it was intense.
11:04 pm
flames, smoke everywhere. it was bad. >> reporter: the fire burned right up to the backyards of most homes before dying off at one home on bernard road was not so lucky. it was the only major structure lost in the blaze, along with a number of vehicles parked on the property. but the heat coming off the burning house caused more problems for gill. >> we're getting embers landing on our property so the last thing we need was to get everyone's house on fire. >> reporter: when the power cut out, killing his water well, they were forced to pull water from a swimming pool. >> just putting water on the fire, we took anything we had that could pale water, buckets, cans, whatever we could find. i feel like if i wasn't here, just everything would have burned down. >> reporter: by noon, the flames were gone and 580 was reopened. the fire ended as abruptly as it started but as firefighters patrolled the area is looking for hotspots, they saw this as a wake-up call. >> we had smaller fires , but
11:05 pm
this is the first major incident we are burning over 1000 acres. and it's, it is just a good reality check for us, fire season is upon us. >> reporter: as always, how that season goes will depend on the hot wind. >> two injured firefighters were transported to bay area hospitals , they are expected to be okay. brian is taking over for dinner tonight and he is here with more on the details that help spread these fire so quickly. >> strong onshore winds were whistling. windmills atop altamont pass . of course, this was on the downslope side. but the guests were up to about 45 miles an hour , at the moment, they have calmed down, about 25 miles an hour. the temperatures still fairly warm out by the fire, 73. you'd expect gus , slowly subsiding. the winds are
11:06 pm
still testing. more good news is that it will be cooler tomorrow under mostly cloudy skies. and a big warm-up with highs near 100 degrees on tuesday. a total about-face by the time we get to tuesday and wednesday, we'll talk more about that when we covered the weather but first after a fire ripped through a san jose neighborhood. firefighters tackled three separate fires just before 5:00 on quimby road near sandpoint drive. the plan have spread to six homes across two residential blocks. they were evacuated and no one was injured. residents in three of the homes are still displaced tonight. no word yet on what caused this fire but crews say the heavy wind was a factor >> by the time i made out in the front yard to start calling 911, the fire was in the alleyway between the two houses . starting to catch things, by the time it got all out to the
11:07 pm
street, the garages were ready to go. >> embers were being cast from the trees and from the fire and the initial fire and they were carried across the street in two separate locations. >> reporter: crews are putting out the hotspot tonight. the cause of the fire is still under investigation. stay with us for the latest on both fires here on air at kpix.com and streaming on the cbs news app. last night concert after city hall was a big hit. it drew over 20,000 people, enjoying the music. but as kevin cone report, the economic boost from local business was hit and miss. >> reporter: it is a lot quieter out here, outside of city hall tonight, with about 25,000 fewer people here. last night's skrillex concert was pretty much a success all around. including a lot of
11:08 pm
neighboring businesses around here who did see a boom in business. but not everyone. >> what they did was, they put the fences , so they put fences here, right here. >> reporter: owns euro king with his wife, just a block away from last night concert at civic center plaza >> so nobody come inside, and they just block off here so nobody can come from the concert. >> reporter: he was looking forward to last night's show, featuring threat again and skrillex. a sold-out show with 25,000 people there. >> had only 30 or 40 people coming in and eating. took the probable was his business was fenced off. >> i said can you guys open a way for people to come so people can come in and they said the city keep them and they had to follow that map >> reporter: the senior vice
11:09 pm
president of another planet entertainment, the concert production company who put on the show tells me this was an outlier. in fact, other neighboring businesses say they saw massive increases in sales due to last night's crowds. the concert production company says it worked hand in hand with the city of san francisco, from fencing to a 10:00 p.m. curfew for the music to end. music that could be heard for miles. >> modern building with the squares on it, that is like right behind there, i think. >> is pretty far. >> yeah, it's pretty far. and it was loud >> reporter: claudia lives up the hill. >> i was laying in bed and my windows were shaking and i thought maybe someone was like sitting outside playing really loud music . and then i couldn't figure out what it was. >> reporter: she was kind of right , there was someone playing music outside, but it was a few miles away, outside
11:10 pm
san francisco city hall. she said last night concert was louder than show she heard from oracle park , including fiance and lady gaga. >> i had to take my ear off of my wall because it was shaking. and getting people out and doing things and occupying space so we can make things nice people, it's going to be good. but maybe some more chill music. [ laughter ] >> reporter: he cares less about what kind of music it was, he appreciated there were so many people downtown. >> we put lots of food in the back , lots of drinks in the back, nothing happened. >> reporter: the moment was ready to feed thousands but his disappointment lies in the fact that he and euro king were seemingly left out. >> it is really got to watch people passing by and nobody is coming in. we were expecting more. you don't get that more, that is kind of heartbreaking for us.
11:11 pm
>> reporter: the good news is that this could be the first of many more big shows to come. mayor london breed called last night concert both a success and fun, adding that working with private companies like another planet entertainment shows the city can host more major events in the future. still to come tonight at 11:00, we'll take a look at the first pride celebrations kicking up the month. ahead of their first home game will get a look at how the oakland ballers are already transforming the community around their new home field.
