facility. we're live in the air and on the ground. "abc7 news" is committed to building a better bay area. and tonight, we're tackling one of the toughest topics we're facing around here -- homelessness. thanks to the governor, san francisco just got a new tool to help those who cannot help themselves. and across the bay -- >> in your view, is the program working? >> yes. >> this year, oakland started moving the homeless out of tent camps and into communities. as another one opens, we see if it's really doing what it's meant to do. now from abc 7, live, breaking news. >> that breaking news is a scare at a power facility in the north bay. sky 7 is live over the scene tonight. the sonoma county sheriff's office is investigating what could be an explosive device at a pg&e substation. >> this is just off 101 at river road in fulton. the on and off ramps for south bound 101 at river road are both closed. >> wayne freedman is on the scene and joins us live with the

latest. wayne? >> reporter: good afternoon, dan. that substation is behind me. if you go down river road, you know it. let's go to some video. next to me, i have sergeant spencer crumb from the sheriff's department. you have the latest information of what you've seen down there. what is it? >> yes. so we don't know exactly what it is right now. our bomb squad is on scene. we're taking a look at it and they're going to figure out what it is and how to best dispose of it. >> reporter: we heard that it was small. is that what you heard? >> i heard it's 18 to 24 inches in length. it's two pieces of metal separated by some type of wire. >> reporter: this was discovered by a worker inside the plant? >> yes, around 4:00 p.m. today. >> reporter: any idea who put it there? >> no. >> reporter: what is the protocol of the bomb squad? what is next for them? >> we have a regional bomb squad. they'll determine the best way

to dispose of the device. they'll blow it up to where it exists or use a robot to deliver it to another place. >> reporter: anything about this device that made it suspicious? >> just the appearance. it appears to be an explosive device. >> reporter: when you say "appears," does that mean it is or that -- that's a strong word, appears. >> it's too early right now. our bomb squad will take a look at it. we have x-ray machines, we have high tech robots. once we get to it, we'll figure it out. >> reporter: sergeant, thank you very much. it is at this point, is there a danger to the public? >> no, right now there's not. we have the area cordoned off and the streets blocked off. we don't think there's a danger to the public at this time. >> reporter: how long do you think this will last? >> depends on the bomb squad. we're in no hurry. >> reporter: thank you very much. if you look down river road there, you can see where they have cordoned off the off ramp

from the north and the onramp to the south from there. river road, though, remains -- traffic is still going. so that appears to be a good sign. we did reach out to pg&e a little while ago and asked their press office what information they have. pg&e has not gotten back to us. live in fulton, wayne freedman, "abc7 news." >> more to come. wayne, thank you. let's take another live look over the scene from sky 7, where you can see the sheriff's office there, keeping a close watch on things and trying to figure out what this device is. we'll keep an eye on this, both here on tv and online. you can learn the latest through the "abc7 news" app. for now, thank you for joining us. i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm dan ashley. the focus of our new initiative is called building a better bay area. >> it's on san francisco to provide the services and the help and to get people off the streets. >> our big problem with this is we don't have voluntary services

available. >> controversy over conservato conservatorsh conservatorship. a new state program san francisco will test out as a way to take care of the homeless. >> abc 7 is committed to building a better bay area, that means we're putting more time, resources and reporting into covering the issues that impact your quality of life. tonight we're takeling homelessness. >> last year, there were 7500 homeless people in the city. in oakland, the best estimate is more than 2700 people sleeping on the streets. that's more than 10,000 total. to put that into perspective, almost the same as the population of emeryville. >> we have team coverage. laura anthony is in oakland following up on the project to move the homeless. >> and carlos is in san francisco, looking at what a newly signed law will let the city do for the first time. carlos? >> reporter: there are many challenges to addressing

homelessness that require more than one solution. this new law is very specific in doing so, by helping those who simply can't help themselves. the epidemic of mental illness and severe drug addiction play out on san francisco's city streets every day. a dire situation in plain view for residents and tourists. >> they see people who are clearly out of their minds or high. sometimes scary, sometimes threatening and dangerous. >> reporter: city and county leaders, including the mayor, were at the community center this morning, speaking on how they're addressing chronic homelessness. one big help they say is a new law that creates conservatorship for people with severe mental health and substance abuse disorders. >> we're not just trying to force someone into a situation. this is about helping people get healthy and stabilize. >> reporter: the law makes it easier for judges to allow a guardian or protector to make decisions for someone deemed incapable of making responsible

choices. >> the current laws in california are not meeting the needs, particularly of people with severe drug addiction. >> reporter: the law requires government agencies to provide support services and adequate housing, resources in short supply. >> our big problem with this is we don't have voluntary services available. and we believe that people should have access to services that they want before they are forced into services. >> reporter: despite the numerous challenges that come with homelessness, city leaders say they're working with the department of public health to implement the law. and the mayor says she will work with the board of supervisors, as well as with the department of public health to get the ball rolling on this pilot program. but she did acknowledge that it could take some time. reporting live in san francisco, "abc7 news." inbay, homeless encampment caught fire in

oakland. sky 7 was overhead as smoke billowed out. you can see firefighters pouring water on that area. it's not cheer how the fire started. in oakland tomorrow, they will open the third tough shed location for the homeless. the new sheds will help get 40 people out of tents with the goal of moving them into permanent housing within six months. >> the sheds are 10 x 12 feet, each one houses two people and there are 20 sheds. the question is, is the program actually working? >> laura anthony asked a city representative that question today, and she's live with their answer. laura? >> reporter: well, hi, dan. with 2,000 people living on the streets here in oakland, cityha. the community cabins program, as they call it, is just part of a larger collection of services the city is trying to employ to deal with a homeless population that jumped 26% in recent years.

will you move in the tough sheds? >> i probably will, yes. i'm on the list. >> reporter: casey cummings lives in a tent along a pedestrian overpass. a former business owner, cummings told us she and many of her camp mates have jobs, but still can't afford housing. now that the city's third tough shed village is about to open just a few hundred yards away, she's hopeful but not certain she'll get in. >> and the plan is to evict all of the people around the lake, including snow park. and have them all end up in the tough sheds. and there's far more than 40 people homeless around here. >> reporter: can you solve this problem, 40 beds at a time? >> no. that's why we're doing so many other things. we're increasing our shelter beds and our transitional housing sites, building more affordable housing. >> reporter: of the 127 people who have participated in the program so far, 63% have moved

on to either transitional or permanent housing. 23 have found employment. >> are you going to move in there? >> no. >> reporter: but living in a tough shed isn't for everyone. manuel sanchez also lives along the pedestrian walkway. he's not on the list to move into the tough sheds, saying right now he prefers a tent. >> it's a very beautiful way to live. it's a sign of the times. it's kind of like a fashion statement now. it's not something to be ashamed of no more. >> reporter: now, we talked some more with manuel off camera. he thought he could not actually apply to get into the tough sheds because he told me he does not have an i.d. i talked with the city, and they said that is actually not a barrier to getting into the tough sheds, that it's a common problem for the homeless not to have a form of identification. and that one of the first things they do when folks move in here is help them get a valid i.d.

live in oakland, laura anthony, "abc7 news." >> laura, thank you. we want you to join the conversation. if there's a homeless issue where you live, house the #betterbayarea to tell us about it. once we know about it, we can do something about it. it's part of our ongoing commitment to building a better bay area. a lot more to bring you. it's been a week now since christine blasey ford testified in washington about the sexual assault she suffered at the hands of brett kavanaugh. >> the senate is a step closer to a vote that could put brett kavanaugh on the supreme court for life. i'm spencer christian. cloud also be moving out and drier air and warmer conditions moving in. the forecast is coming up. that sound, the blue angels are back. we'll get you up close and personal with the pilots. plus, what you can expect to see this weekend

buildings. our bigger concern probably is the longer term recovery and when can we get people back in the residences and businesses back up. >> reporter: a review of more than 150 tall buildings in san francisco, included building a database, cataloging in part the age of the materials used in the buildings. stanford university professor greg deerline is one of the authors of the rosht. >> current building codes protect the life safety of the building but don't necessarily address recovery. >> reporter: 60 to 70 buildings used the same steel welds that fractured in the 1997 earthquake. >> it was the connection details that were used, the welding processes. >> reporter: the report suggests san francisco's tall buildings should be inspected for similar damage after the 1989

earthquake. >> this is one of the first efforts to look back and be proactive and starting to look more carefully at assessing those buildings. >> reporter: approximately 60% of the buildings studied conteared primarily business uses, and the others are residential. the final report will be released in november. in san francisco, melanie woodrow, "abc7 news." let's stay in san francisco for another few moments. the headliners of fleet week started flying. the blue angels did some practice runs above san francisco. the air shows start tomorrow. eric thomas is live with more on the story. you got to speak with onelots t. >> reporter: i did, a pilot from fremont. there was a practice run, actually, a site survey at 1:00, and a practice run at 4:00, which provided folks just about the only chance they would get to see the air show without hundreds of you thousands of pe

about 72 years. back to you. >> that's something else. i didn't realize it was that long. eric, like you, years ago i got to fly with the blue angels. i got to break the sound barrier. but what i remember the most is what they call the performance takeoff, when you turn straight up and pull something like 7 gs. what do you remember most from your experience? >> reporter: i remember actually the opposite of that, the landing, because my pilot asked me if i wanted to do a simulated carrier landing, and i said yes. and we pulled 7.2 gs, making the final turn onto the landing strip. it was quite an experience. and i'm sure ama wants to know what i had for breakfast that morning. >> i do not. >> i bet you got to see your breakfast. >> reporter: i don't remember to tell you the truth. it was bester the first time. >> thanks very much, eric.
