close. we have live team coverage tonight. michael finney is working with a team of experts to provide help to flood victims. wayne freedman is showing us just how much people have lost. >> let's begin with david louie and the story of this week's heroes. >> reporter: this is a story about heroes. firefighters are known to save lives every day of the week, but water rescues are unique. san jose fire didn't have the equipment what it had to do here on tuesday. and because of the success of that event, san jose might need more rescue boats. it was a sight on a scale no one ever expected to see in san jose. 17-foot white boats picking up stranded residents taking them to dry land in rock springs.
6:02 pm
it was nobody >> there wasn't a whole lot. it was kind of surprising. >> reporter: the challenge was keeping people taking things with them. >> you have to take people that's worth more than anything right now. >> reporter: the boats carried a lot of pets and resident was special needs. >> most of the people taken from wheelchairs into these boats. we had the physically disabled, the learning disabled, and cats and dogs and birds and entire households jammed into these boats. >> reporter: they pushed the limited on the capacity of the boats with six passengers but packed with three times that number. >> we had upwards of 20 people in these boats. that's why i talked about this will be helpful, and hopefully we can get more to be prepared. >> the more we did to get these
6:03 pm
things helped the neighborhood and the city. kind of made it -- made me feel a little better about it. >> reporter: this is a story more than about boats, of course. 50 personnel staff qualified for water ruescues. in rock springs, they worked 48 hours straight. and there were no casualties. david louie, "abc7 news." >> david, thank you. "abc7 news" was in the flooded neighborhoods before dawn as city workers towed out cars that were abandoned. the city announced that the resident also not be charged for any vehicles towed out. the impact of this week's floods on people's lives is really staggering. it's hard to understand if you're not dealing with it personally, of course. wayne freedman continues our
6:04 pm
live team kompcoverage with an interesting perspective. >> reporter: for san jose, this has to be one of the longest weeks in memory. we too went to rock springs today as residents moved back in -- or went back to see what they could pull out of their wrecked apartments. what they found was staggering. behind the cones, the closures, and the police on this storm watch, rock springs in san jose is a wastelan now. the neighborhood with white picket fences on muddies streets filled with mud caked cars with sunshine that came a few days too late. this is a vacuum truck sucking up water and muck and residents moving around wearing garbage bags instead of a pair of rubber boots. if we added up the pressing issues in calvin's life right now, muddy feet would not
6:05 pm
register. in the automobile business, calvin had yet to make his first monthly payment. now what? what has your insurance company told you? >> i'm still waiting for them. >> reporter: kind of like our residents say they waited for a call before this neighborhood became a temporary part of coyote creek. >> this is our house why we used to live. >> reporter: carlos hernandez showed us remains of his apartment. there was no warning, he told us. did you think this would happen if >> no. >> reporter: did you know you were living in a flood zone? >> no. >> reporter: aside from the content of the garbage bags, next to nothing is all he has left. he's starting a new life he told us, at age 32. wayne freedman, "abc7 news." >> it's really hard to believe, this all started a few days ago. tuesday morning, we watched firefighters rescue people standed in their homes in rock springs. the water just kept rising.
6:06 pm
on wednesday morning, the mandatory evacuation area expanded to include 14,000 people. by the end oh of the day, those evacuation areas shrank. water levels of coyote creek receded yesterday and the number of evacuees shrank to 4,000 people. then the attention turned to cleaning out the mud and damage. michael finney is live in san jose right now with a team of experts to help people recover from the flood. michael? >> reporter: yeah, we've been talking about rebuilding and insurance, and something we haven't talked much about today, all of the misplaced animals. i posted some video on my facebook page a day or two ago and 80,000 people checked out the video. that got us thinking what does the red cross do with all of our four-legged friends here?
6:07 pm
what do you do when people show up with their pets? >> well, the they accept them and they don't ask any questions, they assist and support the animals. and we also try to accommodate the animals to the extent we can. but part of what preparedness is to work with the others for the community. right now, we have contacted the san jose city, but they have location for us that we can call them. and if that can be accommodating, we try to make accommodations. so the assistant for animals is one category that is right. the support animal, we try to see if they can get help from
6:08 pm
our partners. >> reporter: thank you so much. so the animals are not left out on their own. they have partners, you can bring down your pet here. this is the starting point. that's every single disaster the red cross is involved with. we're going to be here until 7:00 tonight, so we've got all the 7 on your side experts here. so please come down here in james lick high school in san jose. him -- i'm michael finney reporting live. >> you can still ask questions on social media. volunteers are needed tomorrow to help clean up. if you can shovel mud, meet at roosevelt park between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. really could make a hands on difference. more than $500,000 has been

6:15 pm
child and hand it to the paramedics? >> yeah, the hardest thing was coming out and mom was afraid the dog would attack again. so one officer sprinted to the door to grab the child to bring the child out. very alarming. this is a family dog that was a pup. they never had any issues with no signs of aggression. >> reporter: sergeant, thank you very much. we understand the child is doing well. the mother and child at children's hospital in oakland. but again, the dog, year and a half old shepherd mix named charlie, 80 pounds we're told, shot and killed by a concord police officer. laura anthony, "abc7 news." >> laura, thanks a lot. tonight, new reaction from raids in santa cruz and daily city that may have led to immigration detentions. homeland security is now responding to scathing words from the santa cruz police chief. melanie woodrow has both sides. >> reporter: the locations,

a resolution monday that supports immigrants. >> daily city is a safe haven. >> reporter: though the resolution stopped short of calling the city a sanctuary city. >> some of the cities are losing federal funds. >> reporter: police department's chief turned down our request for a comment. melanie woodrow, "abc7 news." new at 6:00, the list of california's safest cities is out. imperial in southern california is ranked number one. the city of 17,000 had just five violent crimes in 2016. foster city at number eight. the survey by the national council of home safety and security is based on 2016 fbi crime statistics. happening now, michael finney is live in san jose at

6:52 pm
oce again. we're joined once again. >> reporter: hunter pence is the spark plug and every starter got in the game today except buster posey. but hunter dealt with a lot of injuries last year. he came to camp with a rib cage issue. had to talk his way into the game with bruce bochy. but he told us he's so happy cactus league has begun. >> it's exciting to have a real game going. the atmosphere was fun. we're excited to have baseball back. >> my first rbi of the spring. >> once again, pretty good looking team here. left field the only open position. so you have to feel good going into the season. >> absolutely. a tremendous group here, a lot of good arms, a lot of good

defense with some good gloves. so yeah, we've got to have a good, healthy spring, get working on the fundamentals. you're not taking any of those little things for granted. >> reporter: a healthy spring, the key thing for the giants. and of course, the world champion cubs come to town tomorrow, so you know the giants will be jacked up. mike shumann, abc 7 sports. we really should be talking about the warriors' 50-point quarter last night, or draymond green trash talking paul pierce. but all of that was overshadowed by the twitter war between shaquille o'neal and warriors center mcgee. shaq does a feature called on tnt and he's been making fun of juvale for years. last night he ran a segment picking on mcgee. what ensued was a twitter fight
6:54 pm
with mcgee tweeting why he was so obsessed with him. kevin durant coming to mcgee's defense. >> shaq wants to makes a joke about it, but if it was him in that position, he wouldn't feel the same way. he would call him a bum and all this, just because you're such a great player obviously. he's still a great player, but you had your flews too as a player. >> so what ensued today was warrior bosses calling shaq's bosses at tnt saying "knock it off." so i imagine that's the end of this, at least we hope it is. >> all right. thank you so much, larry. >> join us tonight at 9:00 on channel 13. obamacare replacement is in the works. a draft of the republican plan leaked tonight. then on "abc7 news" at 11:00, two big breakthroughs by bay area researchers could stop

6:56 pm
contradictory to what he or his surrogates are claiming. when the white house says something that is inaccurate or completely untrue, what are we supposed to do, just let it pass? please understand these comments are in no way anti-trump, but pro-truth. i would say the exact same thing, no matter who was in office. william mccraven, the retired admiral that planned the raid that killed osama bin laden, says mr. trump's attacks on the media may be the greatest threat to democracy in his lifetime. there are no alternative facts, only the actual kind. and here's one of those. a free press is the surest protection there is for this democracy. that's certainly what our founding fathers believed was what matters when they made it the first amendment to our constitution. i always love hearing from you. let me know what you think. follow me on twitter and facebook. >> all right. that's it for this edition of "abc7 news." thanks for joining us. >> we'll see you later.
