outside. mike nicco joins us. i'm right about that. you do have to breathe, correct? >> yes, or you two can hold a contest while i do the weather and see who can hold their breath the longest. all right. all kidding aside, today's big story, the heat. it will peak everywhere, even out to the beaches. heat advisory until 9:00 for all of us. let's see those high temperatures as we look at the lack of cloud cover and the lack of a breeze. inland, 93 to 96. look at the coast. mid to upper 80s. wouldn't be surprised if a few 90s pop up there. around the bay, 91 to 95. as we mentioned, unhealthy air today. it is a spare the air. please, be careful if you're outside. leyla? >> yeah, spare the air. take mass transit. we can all help and do our part to eliminate some of the pollution. we have 34 b.a.r.t. trains running on time. ace train number one is also running smoothly. take a look at this. your drive through berkeley, pretty empty. not too bad as you head into the

maze. that's going to be your headlights heading website. taillights in the eastbound direction. looking clear there. we have one accident over to the shoulder. sounds like it's involving two vehicles. right off of northbound 880. just watch out for that. altamont pass starting to look a little busier. top speeds 59 miles an hour. >> all right. thank you, leyla. breaking news, a big mess in san francisco's bay view district. a water main break has flooded half a dozen homes. tiffany wilson joins us live from the scene. how's it looking right now, tiffany? >> reporter: well, it's looking a lot better now than it was just a couple of hours ago. but if you look behind me, see that white suv? right next to it you can still see water flowing down the hill. this all started around midnight when a 12-inch water main burst just up the hill at keith and key. then it started flooding down keith street into the basements of several homes.

it took hours for the san francisco utility commission to shut off the water supply to that pipe. in the meantime, firefighters built a barrier to divert the gushing water into storm drains. many families tried it making their own water barriers, putting pieces of wood against garage doors and that seemed to help. the public utilities commission just downgraded the number of homes that were flooded. >> as we go around and start doing the assessment, that number may change because some homes are still -- like, people are still sleeping so we can't get access. from our count, looks to be six to seven. >> reporter: several cars also got caught up in the mess. now, this car you're looking at was sitting right over the water main break and a sink hole started forming around it. so several hours ago, a tow truck had to come in and haul it away. in the next hour or so, crews are expected to start digging up the pavement to repair the pipe. they expect that'll take between four and six hours. during that time, about three

blocks worth of houses are going to be without water. and all of the traffic in this area is going to be shut down. so if you have to travel through this area in the bay view, prepare to find a detour. in san francisco, tiffany wilson, abc 7 news. >> tiffany, thank you. >> cal tran says work is under way to repair bridges and structures damaged by the august 6.0 earthquake. actually, it was not august 6th, but it was a 6.0. there are six emergency contracts totaling $5.3 million for repairs on 11 state-owned bridges. work to fix serious damage got under way shortly after the quake. crews are now focusing on things like bridge seals, concrete k and pavement damage along state highways 29, 37, and 121. the only bridge that will likely need to be replaced is the garner creek bridge. both pg&e and san bruno are

appealing the penalty for its role in the deadly 2010 blast. the penalty proposed by the utilities commission includes a fine of nearly $1 million. pg&e wants all the money to go toward pipeline safety. san bruno wants an independent monitor to keep track of the utility safety program. three members of the puc itself are also calling for review of the penalty. santa cruz police have arrested a man suspected of running down a bicyclist while wearing a clown mask. 28-year-old jeremy anacito thought he struck a problem with whom he had a prior dispute. witnesses say he was wearing a clown mask as he drove at the cyclist last month in a green pickup truck. detectives found the pickup truck on wednesday with the clown mask inside and arrested him. the cyclist, a trance yent from santa kruz, suffered life-threatening injuries and subpoena recovering at a trauma center. this morning, police want you to keep an eye out for this man. he's a suspect in several office

that he had traveled from west africa. >> i was terrified, scared, worried. >> reporter: diseased detectives now in a race to answer one question. how many people might duncan have infected while contagious? he's in isolation now at this dallas hospital, but the cdc is tracking a widening circle of 100 people who could be at risk. warnings going by phone to more than 11,000 residents. >> while this may be concerning, there is no ongoing danger to your health. >> reporter: liberian authorities say they plan to prosecute duncan for lying on his airport questionnaire. he said he didn't have any contact with people infected with ebola before flying to the united states, and that was not the case. reporting live in washington, abc 7 news. matt? >> all right. thank you, susan. and our reporting on ebola continuing on the abc 7 news app and our facebook page and twitter. the giants will be going for the ninth playoff game win in a row today as they square off

all right. thank you, leyla. well, the political scene in oakland is really going to the dogs. one of man's best friends is running for mayor. the occupy activist behind einstein's candidacy says this is no joke. they're trying to bring to light problems in oakland like police brutality and wage disparity. his platform includes a call for a maximum wage for oakland residents. activists say they don't expect a win but hope the campaign will bring more accountability to oakland politics. one day after prince william warns the british paparazzi to stop harassing his son, the paparazzi are responding. rather, their lawyers are. attorneys say their clients didn't break any laws because the photos were taken in public places like parks and city streets. prince william and his wife duchess kate say george is being stalked and they say he's entitled to a normal childhood. we're coming back with another full 90 minutes of news. several sexual assaults now

happy friday. thanks so much for joining us. i'm matt keller in for eric thomas. >> and i'm kristen sze. question for you, do you like it warm or hot? >> i don't think it matters because you're going to get what you get. it's going to be a lot of hot. >> that's the big story today. good morning, everybody. heat climaxes this afternoon with widespread 90s, even out to the coast. that's why our heat advisory goes until 9:00 this evening. once the sun sets, you'll start to feel some relief. once the sun comes up, we're going to run up to 91 to 95 around the bay. inland, 93 to 96.

coast, 83 to 89. don't forget, it's a spare the air day also. how about friday morning traffic? here's leyla. >> speaking of spare the air, might want to consider taking transit, car pooling, reduce some of the pollution today. here's a look at our san rafael drive as you come southbound 101 up to 580. traffic moving smoothly there. northbound very, very light. once you get to the golden gate bridge, it's moving along without any problems there. the construction we had earlier, they were picking up cones. that has ended. so we're looking at pretty clear conditions. as we take you over to highway 24 in the eastbound direction, we'll have lanes blocked off until 6:00 from oak hill road to pleasant hill road for some construction. >> thank you, leyla. breaking news, san francisco firefighters are busy right now helping homeowners pump out water from their houses after a water main break this morning caused serious flooding in one neighborhood. tiffany wilson is live in the bay view. getting better, tiffany. >> reporter: yeah, it is getting better, kristen.

that 12-inch water main break happened about midnight. you can see a lot of activity right here behind me. this is actually good news. these are crews who are cleaning up an earlier barrier that had been made to help divert the water that was gushing down the street. now you can see that water has slowed down. so they are cleaning it up. again, the crews were able to shut off the water supply to that pipe several hours ago. so the situation now is much more in control. about half a dozen homes were flooded and some families woke up to flooded garages. others woke up overnight to flooded basements. but with the firefighters able to create the barrier that's now being cleaned up, the flooding didn't impact as many homes as initially expected. at firts it was reported that several dozen homes had been flooded. now it's down to about six or seven. tyrone with the san francisco public utilities commission has been here all night long. what's the situation now and

what's happening next? >> right new we have two pumps trying to pump down the amount of water so we can get access to the pipe. we can't see the pipe yet because the area is still full of water. so we're working just to pump that water out. once we can get access to it, we'll start the repairs. we do know it was definitely an old pipe that broke. it was a 1953 cast iron pipe. those tend to be the ones that break due to old age. >> reporter: at this point, for families living in the area who don't have a water supply, what's the timeline you can give them for this pipe to be repaired and their water to be turned back on? >> at this point, i can't give an eta on when the repairs are going to be done. the fact they haven't reached the pipeline yet doesn't mean they know what the repairs are going to be. >> reporter: tyrone, thank you so much for being here. we'll check back in with him as the situation develops. if you have to travel through the bay view, plan on detouring around this area of keith and key this morning. in san francisco, tiffany wilson, abc 7 news.

and developmenti idevelopin the east bay where three children have been diagnosed with a respiratory infection called enterovirus d-68. symptoms are similar to the flu. there have also been reports of d-68 causing limb weakness in some patients. >> there are different severity of weakness. some may affect one to three or even four limbs. but the virus does stop on its own at some point. >> there is no vaccine for d-68. best way to avoid it, health experts say, is to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water, not just hand sanitizers. doctors say you prevent the enterovirus just like any other virus. they recommend frequent hand washing. especially critical if you ride public transit. also avoid touching your eye, nose, or mouth. cough into your sleeve or elbow. if you or your children are

sick, stay home. happening this morning, investigators will be back at the scene of a fire that burned three homes in oakland. started just after 7:30 last night near mills college. firefighters arrived and found a two-story home with flames coming from the top floor. it soon spread to two surrounding homes. one homeowner says he's just thankful his family got out safely. >> i think my son and my wife are, you know, devastated. i'm devastated, of course. but my family got out safe. i got them. so i don't have a house right now, but you can rebuild that, right? so we're okay. >> the fire brought down a power line, which landed on one of the fire trucks. the firefighter at the truck managed to get out of the way. took crews more than two hours to get the fire under control. berkeley police are investigating three reports of sexual assaults at uc berkeley. at least two say they were attacked at fromti tfraternitie. students are just now finding out about them. police have made no arrests. the names of the frat houses

involved are not being released. some students say they're disappointed with the way this is being handled. >> i would expect to have received a notification from the university, but i haven't received anything regarding any form of sexual assault. and we actually live on frat row. it's very concerning. >> berkeley police issued this statement. sexual assault investigations are complex and demand sensitive and professional investigation. on monday, governor brown signed the "yes means yes" sexual assault law. if anyone is under the influence, they're automatically assumed to not be able to give consent. new information in the domestic violence case against ray mcdonald. police have finished their investigation into allegations he hit his pregnant fiance at their home. the case has been turned over to prosecutors more than a month later. abc 7 news has learned one of the things that complicated this case is mcdonald apparently called a san jose police officer

around the time the initial 911 call was made. that officer went to the home. reliable sources inside the police department told abc 7 news reporter vic lee this officer also works as security at 49ers games. it's up to the d.a. now to decide whether or not to charge mcdonald or conduct its own investigation. 49ers say mcdonald will play while the league process continues. happening today in san francisco, bay area fishermen plan to protest a $7.5 billion water bond on the november ballot. they warn proposition one won't solve california's water problem and would destroy salmon and crab populations. it would authorize billions in borrowing to play for reservoirs, ground water cleanup, and habitat restoration. they argue building more dams to hold water we don't have is misplaced spending. it's 5:37. yes, yes, yes, the giants take the next step to advance in the playoffs today, sending jake peavy to the mound against the washington nationals in game one of the national league division

series. the giants acquired peavy mid season from the red sox. he struggled a bit at first but went 6-1 down the stretch and brings a maniacal level of intensity. peavy says he knows stephen strasburg, who will pitch for the nats today, very well. >> he's a great competitor. we all know how talented this guy is. he can really make it hard on you. i'll do all i can to give him some good at-bats. he's a good athlete as well. the only time i'll have to worry about him is when he gets in there and i'll have to make some good pitches. >> the giants have won eight straight playoff games going back to their world championship series in 2012. so the giants open the division series in washington, d.c., today at noon. we're so thankful we'll be off work by then and can watch. game two follows tomorrow in d.c. at 2:30 p.m. then the series comes to at&t park as hunter pence promised it would for game three on monday. starting time hasn't been announced yet, but we'll keep you posted.

game four, if needed, takes place at at&t on tuesday. and the series would return to d.c. for a deciding fifth game if needed next thursday. >> hey, mike, does anybody do a better hunter pence impersonation than kristen? let me hear it one more time. >> yes, yes, yes! is that it? >> yep, that's it. >> she throws and hits a lot like him too. >> really? impressive. >> i saw her watching this video the other day. >> oh, mike. i will have to share that with our twitter followers again. so funny. >> absolutely. it's a hilarious clip of him. all tongue and cheek. he has such an unusual form. all right. hopefully you'll be able to see that on mine or kristen's or even abc 7's facebook and twitter feed. looking great, isn't it? orange in honor not of spare the air but of the giants. we have orange over santa clara. that's where our poorest air quality is going to be today. all of us under spare the air for the tenth time.

let's do what we can today. limit your driving or using gas-powered engines as much as possible. we're in the 40s to 60s this morning. we're all over the scale with our microclimates during the morning hours. we'll homogenize in the low to mid-80s by noon. mid-80s to 90s inland. we'll be in the low 70s to near 80 degrees coast to inland by 7:00. hardly strictly bluegrass, that's what's going on. 90 today. 85 tomorrow. 74 sunday. enjoy it and enjoy the heat today. much more comfortable by the end of the weekend. leyla? >> proud of you. you did it. third time's a charm. taking a look right now at san rafael. drive in the northbound direction loading up a little bit. seeing a few extra headlights as they come away from 580. southbound traffic might be building a little bit, however, we're still moving along at top speeds. speaking of which, the hardly strictly bluegrass festival,

while we have some street clotures because of it. 36th avenue, 30th avenue, crossover drive and transverse drive. that's just west of highway 1. so you will find some street closures there. plan ahead, parking, getting around. so it's going to be a big event. it's going to be a lot of fun as well. matt, kristen. >> all right. thank you. time now is 5:41. still ahead, how a shortage of water is impacting bears in the sierra. the new problem now surfacing. and one of the most popular music events returns to golden gate park. the big names headlining this weekend's hardly strictly bluegrass festival.
