the call came in about 1:45 this morning at the mayfair golden manor apartments. it escalated to three alarms. it took about 50 firefighters an hour or so to knock down the flames. mayfair serves seniors, the captain tells me of the 20 to 40 evacuated, 16 are displaced this morning. but getting them to safety was a challenge. >> it is a high risk situation when you have senior housing and middle of the night fire. couldn't be more pleased with the work of our crews and with the outcome. thankfully nobody was killed. >> reporter: five people in all taken to the hospital. we're told injuries are not critical. back on scene, as i mentioned the crews have now left. the cause is under investigation. the captain tells me it may have started on the roof. that has not been confirmed.

record, something that gingrich has tried to shine a spotlight on. romney was talking with business leaders contrasting himself with president obama and his economic record. some other numbers from the poll, looks like about 12% of new hampshire voters at this point are undecided. that's about one in eight, the day before the primary. jon. >> tracy, thanks a lot. >> it's 6:43. coming up, four people are injured by a fire overnight in san jose. we have details coming up in a live report. now it can stop pain from any angle, with nmess.

around here. another day of near record warmth, i put the 70s on the map. let's show you why. clear start this morning. you can still vividly see that full moon out there. enjoy it while it lasts. got to wait another month till we get another. this is the full wolf moon. it's beautiful. hopefully you'll get a chance to see that on the way to work. no fog to obstruct your perfect view of that shot. take a look at the bay area from space. you can see that storm track way to our north. that's going into the pacific northwest for the time being. it looks like the jet is going to start to drop as we head through next week. that's good news. that means the pineapple express will be filtering in. we need that rain. so, very promising, all the models agree that we're going to get a more active pattern toward this weekend and next week. today, high pressure in control, that's going to keep things mild for us today. the offshore winds warm as they pump from land to sea.

warm and dry but clear at the coast. sunshine coming in off the bat at about 7:22 we see the sun rise. that means we're going to see a gorgeous day with temperatures in the 70s, near record warmth. by tomorrow a little bit after cloud cover to start with, and then we'll see coastal showers develop. i think by 3:00 p.m. tomorrow getting a little isolated activity especially along the marin county coastline. wednesday, additional moisture but a comfortable afternoon. overall we'll drop to the mid to upper 60s and 70s into the low 60s and upper 50s. pretty stward our seasonal averages. 68 in san jose, about 66 degrees in los gatos, 68 in livermore, a comfortable afternoon. tomorrow, cloudy start, limited sunshine means a cooler day, plus we've got the potential for showers to arrive. the futurecast does not bring the showers onshore. in fact, they keep them over the pacific. some of the isolated activity, the isolated cells will pass through the bay area. especially areas north of the

golden gate bridge. maybe daly city getting something out of that. san mateo as well. 62 by wednesday, fog returns at that point. widespread. patchy fog for thursday. then starting saturday into sunday that pattern i've been talking about finally develops. we get about a 10% rain chance althe way saturday, sunday, monday and tuesday and it's early. so we'rey looking good for finally getting an active pattern. i'll keep updating you as we get more info on. that >> a lot of cars, a lot of activity on the plotter. a couple of biggies as far as the traffic. look at the westbound 80, still really jammed up. the earlier semi-truck slow. a live look at our chopper, still on the scene there it is, that semi-truck is out of the lanes. still a distraction. chp, tow trucks and a pick-up. slowing through berkeley around

university avenue. the bay bridge toll plaza shows you folks at the toll plaza, smooth off of the berkeley curve. no problems as folks head down the bend over to the city. those metering lights will probably be turned on shortly because of the follow coming down now. more problems for the east bay, slow down 880 to the earlier accident at decoto a. new accident at whipple and there is a bit of slowing for the south bay. >> thank you very much. fire crews mopping up at this hour after fire damaged an assisted living center in san jose. today in the bay's marla tellez believe an update. >> reporter: laura, good morning. since our last report about 20 minutes ago an engine has returned, we had told you that the scene had cleared but an engine has returned. this crew is just on scene to check for hot spots. at the height of this fire you can see just how bad it was.

flames completely engulf four units. these are the mayfair golden manorapartments. this is shot by a neighbor. these host seniors. most are in their 70s, most don't speak english so crews were up against a language barrier. in all, 20 to 40 people had to be evacuated. 16 are displaced. they are getting assisted by the red cross. five are being treated for injuries. the captain tells me the good news is injuries are not critical but stress related such as chest pain and hypertension. it took about an hour for crews to knock down this three-alarm fire called in shortly before 2:00 this morning. the captain tells me he has no reason to believe that arson is to blame. he says the cause appears to be accidental. we're live in san jose.

i'm marla tellez. >> the death of a woman found in a home is suspicious. her body was discovered in the oakmore neighborhood saturday morning. the woman was in her 30s and was unresponsive. she was pronounced dead at the scene. investigators are looking for the cause of death. >> another san francisco pot club street go up in smoke but supporters are not going down without a fis. the marcus street cooperative will shut its doors at 7:00. in november, a california u.s. attorney ordered the clubs closed as part after crackdown targeting the landlords. medical marijuana supporters are going to gather to protest the closure. >> san francisco's first elected asian-american mayor has his first official day on the job. ed lee taking the oath of office
