scene. we did receive word that there is a tow truck headed to that location so this should be clearing as we head through the next 15 to 20 minutes no. delays around the crash yet. more hitting the highway so that could become a factor. we'll keep watching for you. let's take a live look at 880 in oakland. traffic here starting to pick up in both directions. but really nobody's tapping their brakes. we'll let you know when the metering lights go on. back to work, back to summer school. back to you, laura. >> thank you very much. we're following developing news from the east bay this morning where three separate wild fires have fire officials very skeptic about how they started. christie smith joins us live from pittsburgh with all of the details. >> reporter: good morning. when i got here just before 4:00 this morning, some neighbors were still shooting fireworks off in the sky. i want to show you what it looks like here this morning. the grass out here is quite dry and in some areas it's still smoldering where this fire

started. in all, three grass fires burned in the pittsburg bay point area overnight. about a mile away from each other. very big flames filling the sky with plenty of neighbors walking around to watch the grass burn. the first one about 9:29 near solano in bay point. then 30 minutes later at port chicago highway and driftwood, at 11:00 on wheldon lane in bell point. we spoke with the fire chief this morning about whether maybe the home-spun fourth of july fireworks might have anything to do with it. >> there are a lot of fireworks out. our fire marshals are trying to determine what the cause of the fires are. obviously that's one of the reasons we don't have safe and sane fireworks in the county. they are illegal. and that's one of the reasons is to try to make sure we don't have these fires. >> the fire burned very close to some railroad tracks, so much so

there are reports that the trains had to slow down. also, the fire chief saying that a fire burned close to some garages in an apartment complex. we're waiting for word on how large, how much grass was burned. for now looks like pretty much everything is out. reporting live, christie smith, "today in the bay." >>a good thing they got those flames out. thank you. while the nfl lockout continues the santa clara stadium authority still has its eyes on the prize, a new stadium for the 49ers. today that plan could move closer to the end zone. marla tellez live near the proposed site in santa clara with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, laura. we're at the practice facility of the san francisco 49ers, of course no practice going on behind us this morning. but just directly across the street allen is going to pan over, this is the proposed stadium site so it makes sense

to put it next to the practice facility. right now nothing but an empty lot housing a couple dozen school buses. according to tonight's council agenda, the stadium authority will address several items but it's more of the fun stuff they are going to talk about such as the luxury boxes, food and beverage, officials are going to talk about selling suites as in seating. the the "mercury news" is reporting that the stadium authority sold $138 million of luxury boxes. there are 165 suites total compared to 77 at candlestick. another interesting note on tonight's agenda, says the stadium authority has found a concessionaire. and to help design food and beverage areas. at this point the expected

recovered. 5:34. we have a better idea of when the debris that was swept out to sea by the tsunami in japan could hit shores here in california. bob redell joins us live with a look at the latest time line. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning to you. it's still a couple of years before debris from the japan earthquake and tsunami starts washing up on the shores of santa cruz and other parts of northern california and oregon and washington. 2013, the early part of 2014 is scientists' best guest. oceanographers believe it will hit by next spring which is one reason they are so involved in the tracking of this debris. they just released this computer simulation of the debris field. you can see it on your screen. it shows the journey across the pacific kogs. they base this on wind. it's an estimatation. it's slow moving traveling east at 10 miles.

perhaps what is most impressive. the "mercury news" reporting that it encompasses an area approximately 1300 miles long, 350 miles wide, roughly the size of the state of california. the tsunami in march sucked out entire towns. we're talking about everything. people, homes, cars. scientists wonder how much will end up on our shores. bodies would likely decompose by them. lots of material will deteriorate and/or sink. the problem in determininging what turns up is that it's based on a computer simulation, not actual observations by people. last week the coast guard and other agencies bet a game plan how to deal with this environmental mess. one idea is have regular sailors, people going a cross the pacific have them document what they see and report back.

environmentalists are very interested in dhas turns out to be a problem in a couple years. that's why they have beach cleanups and surf riders foundation is having their monthly beach cleanup later this morn at mo ran lake park not far from where i'm standing. reporting live on the beaches. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks very much. vchd a step closer to issuing i.d. cards to people who have no other form of identification. council members will vote later on an ordinance to issue those city i.d.s, they will give people without other forms of i.d. to use city services like libraries and public pools regardless of their imbrags status. nearly a third of the residents are immigrants. garbage rates are on the rise. fees increase by 13% this fall to help fill a $3.7 million hole

6:00 a.m. hour that's when it starts to pick up. looking pretty good. what you will notice, let me add my expertise s that there is a little fog creeping in as well. right now that's not impacting your drive. >> but you're going to feel the moisture out there. >> yeah. did you feel it? hit me in the face. >> then it's doing a good job. thank you. hundreds of families displaced by the japanese earthquake are getting a three-month sabbatical in the hawaiian islands. survivors of the devastation are staying with most families. so many of them lost their homes back in march and increasing radiation levels making it unsafe for them to rebuild. more than 200 families applied to be in that program which is funded through private donations. if they can get a break, a little bit of fun especially for the kids, what a big change they had. it's 5:39.

well, maybe we can close some tax loopholes or john mccain mentioned revenue razors, not explaining what he means and they are looking at military spending, the pentagon budget is something that republicans protected for a long time. democrats are arguing even with the spending cuts we've got to get more money in, we've got to look at raising more revenue. that's where we are at a stalemate moving closer to the august 2nd deadline. >> see what they do. thank you. it's 5:44 now. seven boaters still missing off the coast of baja california. they were among the 44 people, many of them from the bay area, thrown into the waters off the sea of cortez early sunday morning. their 100-foot fishing boat tossed upside-down in a storm. monica dean is live at coast guard headquarters close to san diego. she joins us with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning,
