are thankful that no lives were lost in what they call a fast burning fire. abc seven news reporter anser hassan spoke to neighbors about how close the fire got to their homes, as wel. >> this fire was fast moving. it was dangerous. it was wind driven. there was some wind in the area that really helped push it and move it quickly. >> san jose fire battalion chief robert culbertson says it took two hours to put out this fire that destroyed a duplex. 14 people now without a home, he says initially they had reports of people inside with rescue on our mind. >> we thought that there might be somebody in there. we did an aggressive interior fire attack and it took us about two hours to successfully put this fire out. >> just after 3 p.m, calls came in for the fire. once on scene, culbertson says they upgraded it to a two alarm fire. >> and what that means for our system, it's about 40 to 50 firefighting personnel. there's also law enforcement and some ambulance folks that were with us. >> i want to say maybe 10 or 15 minutes. it went from just being a small little fire in the front door to engulfing the entire

11:38 pm
the sergeant tries to speak with casey, it gets heated over that simple misdemeanor case. so here's where we're at. >> you got a warrant? no i don't. yes you do. no i don't. no, i don't. i already pay for it. i had to pay for it. >> so i know that we already went through this. >> there's a lot going on here. my mistake. hey, guys, have a good night. just clear that warrant up for us. thank you. but then it tus into something that that, in my opinion, it didn't need to. >> i know, i know what you're doing. listen, i know what you're doing, and i know what. i know what you're doing, okay? i know, no, no. they had him in that lane. >> and when they did not take off, do not take off. do not take off. i was running. >> casey admits at this point he made a mistake, and i know i don't have a warrant, and i have the paperwork in the car, and i'm. >> and we were going to that argument and he pulled on the door and it scared me. and i just, i panicked. >> and you took off? >> yeah. >> looking back on it, do you

11:48 pm
the decision to keep butch and sunny aboard the international space station and bring the boeing starliner home uncrewed is the result of a commitment to safety. >> the space mission was already scheduled, but it will be reconfigured to carry two astronauts instead of four, leaving two empty seats for williams and wilmore to occupy on the flight home. spencer christian joins us now, and i can tell you, i feel for those those astronauts up there. and i hate to say it, but it feels good to be on earth, especially when the weather was nice, like it was this afternoon. >> absolutely. i totally agree. and in fact, we had sharp changes this afternoon. this morning we had some widespread patchy drizzle. we'll have a little bit more patchy drizzle near the coast overnight tonight. then tomorrow sunnier sooner. earlier in the day and turning warm by midday next week. early next week we have some sizzling summer heat coming our way, but before we get to that, let's take a look at this.

tomorrow. carlo gets the game. yep. they finish it off right there. that's going to do it. 10 to 7. florida. the u.s. plays taiwan in the title game on sunday at noon. right here on abc seven. the warriors lost a beloved family member. hall of famer al attles has passed away at the age of 87. he had been battling health problems for years. adele spent more than six decades working for the franchise, guiding the golden state warriors to their first championship in 1975. here's abc seven sports director larry beil with a look at attles legacy. >> i never imagined my name would become synonymous with the warriors throughout my 60 year odyssey. >> just a constant presence around the organization. and when i became coach here, one of the first things i did was invite him in to speak to the team. al is basically mr. warrior. you know, he's he's always been the face of the franchise. our court is named after him, al al attles
11:56 pm
to me will always be mr. warrior. >> player. coach. general manager. advisor. ambassador. al attles literally did it all in his decades of work with the warriors. attles was known as the destroyer as a player for his toughness and physicality, a trait we saw in the 1974 75 nba finals when attles came off the bench to defend his star rick barry, crowded by reardon, who fouls it. >> reardon was manhandling him, engineer fight, reardon trying to get away and attles alvin attles was out to break up the fight. >> i didn't have the gifts and talent that most of the other players had, but i did it. my way. >> attles had a deep, raspy voice that sounded ominous, but he was a kind man who helped countless warriors players. >> i think of him so much of the heart and soul of this community. he has been a teacher. he's been a mentor. he's been a coach. he's been a hall of famer. but most importantly, he's been a friend.
11:57 pm
i've sat with him during the course of the game. i have learned so much from just listening to him, how he saw the game. and i think the most important thing, just getting to know the family over the years and how much they love each other. alvin would go down and he'd be so sorely missed because he has truly left his mark. not only in this organization, not only in basketball, but in the whole nba community and the bay area. at large. >> al attles gone at age 87, and he certainly will be remembered this. >> abc seven news report. sports report that is sponsored by river rock casino. a reminder that you can watch all our newscasts live and on demand through the abc seven bay area connected tv app. it's available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv and roku. download the app now and start streaming. well, that's it for tonight. i'm j.r. stone. abc seven news continues tomorrow morning at
