a fast-moving fire in san francisco sends two people to the hospital. thanks for joining us. i'm kristen sze. >> and i'm cheryl jennings. eric thomas is there. eric? >> reporter: they sent two people to the hospital. this is what a three-alarm response looks like. a lot of equipment, a lot of firefighters out here because initially there were report that is at least two people in this house were badly injured maybe somebody had expired. but that turned out not to be the case. everyone got out of the house safely. but the house itself was gutted here on plymouth avenue between ocean and holloway.

this is some of the tape. the fire went from two to three alarms because of reports of those two people trapped inside. turns out, again the news was good and there was no one trapped inside. there were, however four frightened and confused pit bulls and that's not all firefighters had to face. >> crews worked really hard and the conditions were really terrible inside. a lot of black thick smoke for most of the time that they were in there. but they were able to keep the fire from severely damaging the buildings on either side. >> reporter: that was the good part. you can see the proximity of the buildings on either side. they kept the flames from spreading to there. a resident of the home went to the hospital as a precaution because of the thick smoke. another person, a passer-by erer-by tripped over a fire hose. that person was injured and had

to be transported to the hospital. and a firefighter was treated for heat exhaustion. this all turns to finding a cause for the fire. live in san francisco eric thomas abc 7 news. meanwhile today, new rilz rules are in effect in the case of three california counties. abc 7 news reporter amy hollyfield is live in dublin. >> reporter: it's that time of year. fireworks are now on sale just as firefighters are issuing warnings and it is getting hot outside. fires have already started blackening hillsides. this one in livermore. firefighters say with temperatures heating up and the dry conditions from this drought they are expecting more. >> we're anticipating a busy weekend over the fourth of july. >> reporter: cal fire just issued a burn ban in place for parts of alameda, contra costa

and santa clara counties. firefighters say the ban will help but they need everyone to be extra vigilant. >> for the most part, we're trying to encourage folks to clear brush around their house be careful with the hot weather and stay hydrated. >> reporter: volunteers at fireworks stands say they, too, will do their part to push safety. >> we're recommending they have a bucket of water standing by, they do it away from their house, away from shrubs and grass. >> reporter: these fireworks are legal in dublin and are carefully monitored. they're also big fund-raisers. >> one year we raised over $40,000 for someone to get new band uniforms. >> reporter: but this year is expected to be busy especially on the holiday. >> we usually stay open till 9:00. and some will come back and restock. they'll come back to get more. the evening of the fourth will be quite good.

>> reporter: they're also directing customers to the parks in dublin where it's legal for them to shoot off their fireworks. and we want to do our part to get out the word. so go to our website. we've provided a list of which fireworks are safe and sane and where it is legally to buy and shoot them. reporting live in dublin, amy hollyfield, abc 7 news. >> thanks so much. a devastating wildfire in washington state has leveled homes and forced more than 1,000 people to run from their homes. the sleepy hollow fired destroyed a dozen homes in the town of wenatchee. a helicopter over the scene this morning showed how the fire just swept through one community burning many homes to the ground. four firefighters were treated for minor injuries. rain this morning has helped to slow that massive blaze. the chp is investigating the death of a driver on northbound 880 in milpitas this morning. the chp says a man in a prius crashed into another car after

midnight. he got out to check on the other driver and that's when he was struck by at car. that caused a second two-car crash. no one else was seriously injured. more than 2,000 workers who provide essential services for santa clara county are threatening to strike for the first time in 40 years. they include 911 dispatchers and public health nurses. abc 7 news reporter matt keller joins us. >> reporter: officials filed an injunction with the court to try to stop those sshlessential employees from striking. but that may not be needed as both sides are currently at the bargaining table trying to come up with a deal less than 24 hours away from that strike deadline. this comes after the county held an emergency meeting yesterday afternoon to discuss what to do about the plan by workers to strike tuesday morning. they agreed to file the injunction this morning to keep the employees they see as essential on the job even if

there is a strike. the county says it has identified 2,106 of the approximately 9,000 employees that work in positions that are essential, soccer workers 911 dispatchers, public health nurses, administrative professionals and clerical and blue-collar workers. a judge is expected to issue a ruling on the injunction this afternoon. last week members of the union voted to go on strike after the current contract expired on june 21st. the union said the county is not taking adequate steps to meet the challenges of multiple crises facing santa clara county like a 911 dispatcher shortage, a public health nursing shortage. union workers say if they don't have a deal by 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, they will go on strike. matt keller abc 7 news. the latest setback for spacex and nasa are not deter

them from launching more flights in the future. an unmanned rocket loaded with cargo for the space station exploded shortly after takeoff yesterday morning. and now the investigation today figuring out what went wrong. >> reporter: sources in mission control in houston say they don't know yet if this was an accident or if spacex triggered it because it might have gone off course. stakeholders have been in constant communication to discuss what went wrong and how to prevent it. the work continues today starting with another briefing between nasa and spacex, they're now hard at work trying to figure out what went wrong after falcon 9 exploded two minutes after takeoff. spacex is a private company owned by elon musk. he tweeted what they know for sure is there was an overpressure event in the liquid oxygen tank. >> it's a pretty important loss to us. >> reporter: the rocket was carrying food, research equipment and science projects

including those from students at san jose's christian valley. officials are calling this an anomaly. >> there's no negligence here there's no really problem with this. it just shows the challenges that we have facing engineering and the challenges of space flight in general. >> reporter: at the international space station, three men waited for the precious cargo, including scott kelly who watched the explosion on tv. he tweeted, space flight is hard. two months ago, a russian cargo ship spun out of control. and last october, this rocket barely got off the launchpad before it exploded. >> this is a very demanding environment requires tremendous precision and tremendous amount of engineering skill and hardware to perform exactly as it should. >> reporter: for now, crews at the space station have enough supplies until october. aerospace experts don't believe the rocket's design is to blame since falcon 9 had flown a total of 18 times.

the explosion was the first for spacex when falcon 1 did not reach orbit. officials expect the inspection to take several month. >> janet thank you so much. after more than three weeks on the run, fugitive david sweat is in custody and he's talking. sweat is under heavy guard at a hospital after being shot twice by a new york state police sergeant. sweat told investigators the plan was for a prison employee to pick him up along with inmate richard matt and then head to mexico. but when she didn't show up, the two had to improvise. matt was shot and killed by police on friday. sweat was caught near the canadian border yesterday. >> he had a bag with him that had a number of supplies. he had maps. he had a certain amount of tools, bug repellant wipe pop tarts. >> it's still not clear where sweat got those supplies. he said the two stuck together for a couple of weeks until sweat left matt behind because he was, quote slowing him down.
