cashing office where a man was down. a police dispatch log obtained by abc7 news indicates no patrol units were available to respond. the log indicates the police were called at 8:26:00 p.m. a fire truck with paramedics arrived 8 minutes later and an officer was dispatched 13 minutes later, arriving 17 minutes later. while it took the police department 17 minutes to respond to the scene with a man here on the ground, the fire department got on the scene but had to wait 10 minutes before they could administrator cpr. they had to wait for the police officers to declare the scene secure. police officers and firefighters working that day talk to us on camera on the condition we conceal their identities. they stress that delays can take a follow on saving lives. >> and those survive acts increase with every single second and when you get to the minutes it becomes unrecoverable. >> it's a problem we've been seeing on the streets for quite some time now.

and usually it doesn't have such a glaring result. >> city officials acknowledge that 17 to 18 minutes is the typical response time for a priority 2 call such as this. however, the goal is the 11 minutes. but that doesn't take into account how firefighters must stage a block or two away until a police office every gives the all clear. >> it's extremely frustrating. we are trained from the day we start training to save lives, to help people. and to sit there with idyll hands is excruciating at times. >> while the firefighters waited, the victim died. and this underscores the fact that paramedics may be prevented from doing their job because of regulations. and the fire department rules bar them from entering into a potentially dangerous situation until a police officer declares the scene safe. in san jose, david louie, abc7 news. the federal government is accelerating the removal of decaying naval ships from the bay area. vessels so old they are an

whole cities of cars that drive themselves. google has been showing off a prototype of a driverless car but bringing it to market is a lot easier in the car companies and network companies start working together now to make city streets ready for the technology. >> and the things don't exist now but you know they are coming and so you don't have to tear up the streets and add technologies to get ready. >> and cars already talk to each other to avoid crashes but a fully diverless car is ten years away. but connected city streets will have other benefits. >> the network hassenners in the roadway or the parking place that the internet can tell my vehicle it's time to park because there's not going to be a parking space after this sensor has established there's a free spot. >> in san francisco, jonathan bloom, abc7 news. >> the future of cars and the future of the weather. you know, we could use a little relief from the gloom.

>> i think so, yeah. definitely need some vitamin d. today we are going to deliver. in fact, plenty ever sunshine not only today but wait until you see the seven-day outlook. big changes out there. as we head outside now from our sutro camera, we are looking at partly cloudy conditions. and a lot going around the bay again today. how about the mutt strut for union city in afternoon. treasure island music festival and redwood city hosting a half-marathon and the embark dare row may be seeing a lot of bikes. live doppler 7 hd showing the cloud cover but not as much as we've had the past several days. we have a cold front pushing through the area. so you would think that we would see the results in terms of some cloud cover, maybe even some precip, but really this front is so weak that it is working to mix on out the cloud cover. that will allow for more sunshine today. 43 right now around fairfield.

it's 47 in concord. so definitely some cool numbers around the bay, much cooler we had the past couple days, even though we were laden with low clouds. 54 in redwood city. 52 in mountain view and 48. so chilly down in san jose. that is six degrees cooler than yesterday. so notice everywhere except the city we are much chillier this morning, anywhere from ten to twelve degrees colder this morning. in santa rosa, fairfield and another six degrees of cooling in los gatos and redwood city. overall partly cloudy this morning with more sunshine this afternoon. and the mild temperatures do return. and that will allow for not only a seasonal day today, but tomorrow we are warming up another five to seven degrees and then much, much warmer weather as we head toward next week. so, yeah, definitely has felt like autumn. the leafs are changing out there and it's been damp. but it's all associated with this area of low pressure that's been with us for at least a week now. this is finally pushing on out

and on its heels we have a weak cold front. it's not a rainmaker, but it is producing more low clouds and that low-level moisture, but it is also going to work to mix it out. look what happens about 8:00. we are looking at the clearing already in parts of the north way and the east bay. still holding on to the cloud cover through about 9:00, 10:00 the rest of the day but then we will break out into mostly sunny conditions and, yes, the warming begins for the beginning of your weekend. it will be modest and we will see temperatures just in the mid-70s from sacramento to the low 60s in the sierra nevada. and back home, yeah, pretty nice out there with sunshine. the pumpkin festival, low 60s. mid-70s concord. some of the warmer numbers out toward livermore. 76 there with hollister coming in at 76. 65 in monterey. and here's the accuweather seven-day forecast 60s and 7 toas today. 70s and 80s tomorrow.

tuesday mid-oliver's and look at wednesday, thursday. the offshore flow. temperatures near 90. 70s for late october at our beaches. crazy. it should be nice. >> crazy nice. >> good word. >> thank, lisa. it can be many to have a service warranty for your appliances. it can cover any needed repairs. but if you really get free service, do you? >> michael finney explains the answer is yes. >> it's not working. >> she is showing us what happened the day her clothes dryer conked out. >> push the button, nothing. nada. >> just a beg load of soggy clothes and no way to dry them. luckily josephine purchased this extended service warranty from whirlpool. >> a nice young man came out, checked everything with his little electrical prong, he said, oh, it's the timer. >> a technician told josephine to order a new timer and he would come back to install it. >> he came again. well, it's defective. the timer is defective. >> so josephine went through the

process all over again. she ordered the part, another technician came out, this guy shook his head. >> he said, well, you know, it's not the timer. it's the door switch. >> josephine said the technician didn't have a switch for her drier but he did have one for a dishwasher. so he installed that one instead. >> well, it worked for two days. and then it quit. >> so another repairman came out. he had the most low-tech solution of all. >> he said do you have any electrical tape? he said the screw has come lose. >> the tape didn't help so the technician said he would be back in a couple of weeks. >> weeks? that was too long. >> oh, boy, at that point my patience was turning into anger. >> it had been eight weeks since her drier broke and during all that time josephine was putting her wet clothes in these plastic bags, driving them to her nieces house and drying them there.

she found out wet clothes are very heavy, especially after back surgery. >> i just have two towels and then do little things at a time. >> finally josephine called her own repair shop and paid her own repair. two days later the drier was working but she was out $150. >> that's when i went to 7 on your side. >> we contacted whirlpool and it stepped up right away. the company agreed to pay for that repair and refunded the cost of her warranty. within days josephine received this check for $256. whirlpool said it's always disheartening when a consumer issue is not able to be resolved quickly. and any appliance there can be several components involved with a given function and sometimes it takes more than one attempt to solve an issue. >> i'm so surprised and happy. and thankful that kgo could help me. >> josephine said now that the drier is working, doing laundry never seemed so easy. i would like to change whirlpool
