blackened, it's moderate damage. upstair there is is an apartment unit. one person was home sleeping. he's okay. he was able to get out but not able to tell them much about what went on with this fire. the neighbors tell us that this business has been here for maybe 20, 25 years, so quite established. firefighters say they don't know what caused it but what they are looking into now. best advice, if you can avoid the area do because it's completely blocked up with all of the fire trucks and police units. that's what we have. live in san francisco, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> thank you. 6:32 now. train service running normal at an east bay amtrak station after a bomb scare shut it down for two hours. it got a report of a bomb on
