firefighters it looks like better access to the metal that is in the center of this fire. at this point, we did just see some flames jumping up over the fence just a few minutes ago. you can see some water being thrown there from the equipment as well. fighting these flames. the fire department got the call here about 3:00. we do have some video from sky fox. we want to show you give you a better perspective of what this looks like from above. sims metal, a scrap metal yard here on seaport boulevard in redwood city. oftentimes you you find cars being recycled and scrap yards which have that flammable material, maybe gasoline still in the tank. and if there's a spark that lands at the right spot, you've got the potential for a fire. of course, although there's no indication yet from the fire department of what may have caused this firefighter fire out here. rather, we did hear from a witness a few minutes ago. he says that this is the biggest fire he's seen out of the several he's seen working next door to this place, and he could smell the burning

metal and burning rubber. he told us just a few minutes ago, and it said he did have to stop. his coworkers had to stop working for about an hour because the thick smoke out here, as you can see at this point, it's pretty much calmed down. they've got it under control or at least making progress towards that. now. the air quality district saying they are investigating and that there's a potential for smoke to impact the neighborhoods downwind from here. we did hear from sunnyvale department of public safety there, saying that they're already noticing some smoke out there and advising people who have issues to smoke, a sensitivity to that to stay indoors at this time. that's the latest from here. we'll bring you more as soon as we get it. >> all right. joey horta live tonight there in redwood city. joey. appreciate it. thank you. >> now we go to oakland, where the fired former police chief officially became a candidate for the at large citywide council seat in the november election. ktvu tom vacar has more now. on why the former

he was wrongfully fired, but, i think he'll do a good job. >> well, i'll take that into consideration and look at his history. so if there's been criticism, i will listen to that criticism, too. but i'll weigh him evenly as a candidate. >> i don't really think that there should be like police and government because they might be like, biased, you know. >> political analyst brian sobel says chances are excellent because he is the leading candidate, because he has tremendous name recognition citywide. so what about endorsements? >> i think my endorsement will come from the people of oakland. i know people across the city. i have relationships with people across this city. >> and so the question ultimately arises, what if mayor shengtao is actually recalled? will the former chief have a crack at that job? >> the future could show us an armstrong run for mayor under any circumstances. >> at least eight others are seeking the seat, and more may file. but armstrong's high profile and popularity make him the serious contender. tom baker

their political leanings. jurors can be excused for cause if there's some reason they can't serve, but the attorneys will also get to remove some as peremptory challenges. randall knox is a former prosecutor and now a defense attorney. he says each side is now trying to pick the jury they think will deliver the verdict. they want. but for prosecutors, the bar, he says, is lower. >> the prosecution's got a video. this is a 21st century case. they have the crime actually recorded, visually. so the question would be for the defense. can you find jurors that might be more sympathetic to somebody who's got a mental illness, who believes in a bunch of conspiracy theories, the jury selection process is expected to take several days. >> there is a hearing scheduled for next tuesday, the same day depape is due back in federal court, where he was already convicted in san francisco, christien kafton ktvu, fox two news. >> jury selection process is expected to take several days. there is a hearing scheduled for

of violence. an international coalition of investigative journalists sifted through millions of posts on social media to track the groups actions. >> one thing that this group that seven, six, four would ask its victims to do was to deliver a cut sign or a fan sign. so a cut sign. a fan sign is when you write someone's username on a part of your body, right. and then take a photograph or a video of it. and a cut sign is different. it's when you carve that person's handle into your skin with a blade or a razor or another sharp object, and, this was this is a modus operandi of seven, six, four. >> they find them in the social media platforms that all of the kids are using, that our families are using. there are people on the internet that may pretend to be your friends, but they're not your friends. >> the group has also been known to specifically target young people who struggle with mental health issues. and this being

actually the tree count that's causing the problems. as far as our pollen is concerned, the grass count is going up as well. and so if you suffer from allergies and who doesn't anymore, tomorrow is going to be problematic even a little bit more so than today. now temperatures bank between 60 in pacifica today to 86 degrees in santa rosa. so a good 26 degree temperature span throughout our microclimates. a pair of sevens in fremont. take a good look at all these numbers because they will be going down for your thursday right now it is 80 degrees still at buchanan field in concord. 62 sfo backing through belmont into burlingame, colma and daly city in the high 50s. it is now 72 degrees at mineta international airport, all the way through the rose garden district and these temperatures, you probably feel the difference if you're taking your dog out for a walk. they are cooler by a good 13 degrees in san carlos, and it's breezy. so kind of dress in layers. if you're heading on out this

evening, we do have that wind up to 30 at sfo. and throughout that san bruno gap we have a wind gusts up to 38mph. storminess in the deep south again this evening. otherwise, take a look at our coastal areas . it looks like the low clouds of fog bank is swiping away, even around the los angeles basin. but hanging tight to san diego. here is our future cast. and notice tonight just a few clouds hang tight to the coast. otherwise, mendocino and humboldt county you will see some overcast conditions for tomorrow morning sun which is at 553. so your thursday is looking decent, but we have some cooler air filtering in from a trough hanging offshore, and we'll have some partly sunny skies, especially towards sunset. then the onshore flow pushes in for your friday. wait till you see what it does to your five day outlook. but meanwhile this kick off with tonight 40s and 50s overnight lows, tomorrow's daytime highs coming down 59 to 60. in pacifica 72 hayward backing through castro valley 783 degrees and mountain view. pretty spot on as far as these

set for this coming weekend is bailey o'carroll live for us now at stanford, where the team just wrapped up a little practice. >> hey mike and heather, that's right. this team really excited for this coming matchup this weekend. stanford number eight seed hosting the ninth seeded lsu tigers. that series starts on friday. but i want to mention you know we did watch them practice. and one thing that

i've noticed of coming to a couple of these stanford practices is just how calm this team is at seemingly all times, right? they are a powerhouse. they are used to getting to big stages. and somebody who is no stranger to a big stage, standing right next to me here and nigeria, kennedy. now tell me what is kind of the vibe ahead of coming into this weekend in this big matchup? yes >> i feel like a big thing is just knowing the work we've done, not only early in the season, but this week preparing for lsu. so i'm just being confident in our skills and knowing that we've been preparing for this all season. >> and what is what's coach's message to you guys ahead of this one? i know kind of you guys said the message was beat. lsu but is there any underlying messages beyond that? yeah just be ourselves. >> we don't have to be anything we're not. so just being again like calm, cool and collective and just being ourselves and knowing the work that we've put in will show. >> and i know you're all about the team talking about the team, but i, i did pull up and i have

to pull out this paper here because you have a long list of personal accolades, a pac 12 player of the year, gatorade player of the year. when you were in high school, you've been called the caitlin clark of college softball. how do you stay calm and so level headed? >> yeah, honestly, i just try to focus on my team and just, every time i step, i step on the mound. i just try to do everything i can for the team. and again, just get us back in the dugout because, the only thing we can really control is the pitch coming out of our hands, which is exactly what you control, right? >> do you feel do you feel pressure ever, when you step out there on the mound? >> no, that's actually another goal. we have, like, it's always, always opportunity. no pressure, just opportunity i like that, now, one other thing i want to ask you is how how important is home field advantage? and for fans who haven't been able to come out and see a game here, what could they expect if they were to come out? >> yeah, i think they can just expect a good ball game. being home is everything. we're still in school, so being able to stay in class these. this week has

been it's going to be really good. but again, just to play in front of our friends and family is going to be incredible. >> now, we kind of talked about that before we came on air that they are still in class. right. you still doing schoolwork? how do you balance that at a point in the season where the season is coming to a peak, but also in the classroom, right. finals just around the corner? >> yes, just prioritizing everything. so we know obviously on the weekends we're going to have we're going to have games. so just trying to get that workout, out and done early in the week, it's been, it's number one. do you have a personal goal ahead of this matchup? just do whatever i can to help the team win. yeah, yeah. >> all right. and one last question for you, what what is coach's message been throughout the whole season? is there been a motto that you guys have kind of lived and died by all season long? >> yes, again, it's there's never any pressure. i feel like a lot of, i know there's always last season we look on that, but again, we can't we can't allow that to put pressure on us. it's there's never any pressure. there's only opportunity. >> awesome. well, thank you so much for the time, fans. if you

want to come out here, some of those tickets are already sold out one night already sold out. so you want to get on those quickly again, that series against lsu starts on friday. it is a three game series, so friday and saturday guaranteed. and i'm sure you guys are hoping that there's no need for a game on sunday. but we will have to wait and see. heather and mike will send it back to you. >> all right, bailey, thank you. and i think the person, the players standing next to you has my vote. if i had a vote for player of the year in college softball, she has been electric all season long. all right. go beat the lsu tigers this weekend. >> go get em. hey, thanks so much
