good 30 minutes before someone called 911. you can imagine part of the investigation will focus on whether there was a smoke detector inside. >> intense fire. i've never seen one outside of like a camp fire that's really going. >> so sad to see something happen like this. never know what's going to happen. >> reporter: that fire severely damaged if not destroyed the unit of origin, it also damaged many, maybe more four other units. there are 12 units. you're looking at about five units are not inhabitable. that's why you have so many evacuated. they evacuated the entire building. you have as i said 60 people and if you look to the left, a bunch more people from red cross arrived to help out these people who had their lives turned upside-down by this fire that has killed two people, again, here at the briars apartment.

it did not have the manpower to fill its 10,000-guard quota. this has caused the military and police to step in, in the end, one defense expert says the games may be better off. >> who would you roth ayou rath looked after by. >> the other concern is transportation because there are more than 6,000 buses in london and it would be just too time consuming to check everyone's bag and impossible to put a police officer on every bus. looking at video here, london was hit by a home grown terror cell that attacked commuters, dozens were killed, that was seven years ago. hence t insecurity about the security. nonetheless, the final count shows more than 18,000 personnel are in place. to put this in perspective, that dwarfs the 9500 british troops currently in afghanistan.

>> thank you very much, marla. we are just three days away from the start of the 2012 games in london. nbc bay area the place you can watch the opening ceremony. and then you can check out nbcbayarea.com for a special section on our home page. search judo on team usa. pretty cool. coming up in a few minutes we'll go live to london and speak to raj mathai covering the olympics for nbc bay area. >> very nice. you can feel the magic. it's time. >> right around the corner. >> how many days? >> three. friday night, 7:30. >> i'm going to be there. we'll all be there. >> we're going to be here for most of it which is cool. the time change brings a lot of it in the morning. >> the place to be. you're already here. take you outside, show you how we're shaping up this morning. temperatures this morning are crisp. we have a full deck of clouds

now over the coast. that's about it. the bay starting to fill up with low clouds as well. your inland cities are mostly clear to start, this is a live look high atop san bruno mountain. you can see the marine layer. we're talk twog 500 feet so a cooldown. big drop as we head through wednesday. 58 this morning, tuesday morning is crisp. throughout this afternoon a little bit on the hot side. high pressure starts to build and then takes a hike out of here. so about 88 degrees, then we'll see an area of low pressure bringing the stronger onshore flow. we'll see the marine layer and the drizzle tomorrow. the coastal communities where the sun has been blazing in early, everything changes tomorrow. gray skies return to the coast and the bay. enjoy that sunshine. get your vitamin d while you can. 83 degrees in concord.

westbound is the commute direction. away from the bridge to the carquinez, there is an accident around san pablo. it's on the shoulder but it's a distraction. counter commute. your commute to the bay bridge is a nice drive. close to the limit. 50s and 60s. east 24, the single eastbound slow on the approach. and we'll get a live look and see how the bay bridge is shaping up. no metering lights but a backup at the cash lane. back to you. >> thanks so much. >> we all know the economy is in a major league slug fest. there are signs the worst is over farce the housing. >> prices measured over year over year showed the first positive gains since 2007. scott mcgrew has been looking closely at the numbers. >> lots of companies and organizations study real estate so let me caution you this is one study from zillow. zillow says when you average american home prices they ticked up compared to the previous

year. we've seen month-to-month increases, that is more good news. this is the first time all of the months added together made a full year's increase, the first since the crisis began. if you look closely at your screen, you're saying wait, scott. is that an asterisk? yes, it is. here is the rest. only about a third of the cities measured actually saw increases. those were big enough to erase the losses in other cities. and, zillow ignores certain data like sales of foreclosed homes. a bit like a doctor saying he can cure all of his parent you ignore the sick ones. even with the asterisk, you know it's good news. apple will report its profits after the bell this afternoon, some expecting a decline in iphone sales because people aren't buying the 4-s, they think the 5 is around the corner. apple is the most valuable company in the united states.

how valuable? experts say it should report 37 billion in revenue. if it were a country that gives us gdp of 148 billion or about the production of everyone in kazakhstan, less than the overall gdp of peru. we'll know more at 2:00. >> can i add i love when scott has visual aids. >> it took work to find a sharpy in the newsroom this morning. i was able to do so. >> put that in a frame. >> thank you very much. 6:22. amazing video off the california coast. a killer whale caught on tape. good morning! wow.

british essentially outsourced part of their security and the company they hired stumbled. they failed to deliver. they didn't hire enough personnel. today in london, they added 1200 more british troops, a couple of weeks ago they added 3500. that's 5,000 additional british troops the british added to keep the games safe because the company they hired couldn't. it's been an embarrassment but it will come together. we had these issues in athens many years ago, and the brits are going to do it. they are going to keep it safe. >> raj, great report. thank you for the update. we look forward to having you during the entire process over there. eat your wheaties, and we'll be checking back in with you. >> all right. talk to you soon. >> it's going to be fun have raj join us. nbc bay area the only place you can watch the opening ceremony in london. it starts friday night at 7:30. we'll have all of the best features as well because of the time change, morning here,

firefighters, he is live with an update. >> reporter: good morning to you. a neighbor as we've been telling you says that the young couple who was killed here this morning that they were smokers but the investigator with the fire department doesn't know yet what if anything that role that might have played. you can see in the cell phone picture taken by a neighbor shows how large this fire was. it was fully involved when firefighters arrived around 3:30. leading the department to believe it had been burning at least 30 minutes. part of the investigation will focus on whether there was a smoke detector. >> they found one unit heavily involved in fire with fire spreading to a second unit. upon getting the fire knocked down and completing a search we located two fatalities in the apartment of origin. we don't know anything about them. investigators are on scene trying to determine the cause of

the fire. >> reporter: a friend tells us that the young couple that they were in their early 20s, a boyfriend/girlfriend who had recently moved in with each other. two other people were treated and released for smoke inhalation. the fire damaged neighboring units, perhaps as many as four. and the building that's beyond that garage there. the red cross has arrived, helping the 60 people who have been evacuated trying to help them with temporary living arrangements. it's not clear if any of those units will be released back to the residents later today. there are 12 total evacuated. that's what we're told. waiting for a building inspect tear see if the units are safe. it's possible some of those could be allowed to go home. the others to rely on the red cross for temporary living arrangements. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> an interesting story, a new report finds hundreds of gas lines across the country could have easily been prevented. that according to a press

investigation which identified 270 natural gas line accidents that could have been avoided or at least diminished by valves that cut off leaking gas. those devices cost as little as $10 but nearly 90% of the nation's gas lines are not fitted with the valves. the gas industry says they are unreliable and cost too much to install. >> a second suspect in the murder of a father and two sons in san francisco two years ago will be in court. wilfredo reyes had been hiding out before authorities found him. he is accused in the deaths of anthony, michael and matthew bologna. they believed they were rival gang members. his alleged accomplice was sentenced last month to life in prison for those murders. >> we are learning more that a bay area man fell to his death while mountain climbing in

wyoming. this all happened sunday at the grand teton national park. justin harold bellman was beginning his decent when he dropped out of sight. park rangers found his body 1,000 feet down the mountain. >> drug companies could soon have to pay for disposal of unwanted medication in another bay area county. the board of supervisors will vote on whether to approve that. currently the county pays $330,000 to discard of unwanted medication. the lawmakers want to shift that burden away from the taxpayers. san francisco is the only city in the bay area which runs a similar drug program. >> let's face it. when you say a half vent it doesn't sound like much but according to leaders they say it could raise $60 million per year. today the board considering asking voters to approve a half

cent sales tax, a hike on the november election. if approved the measure would increase the sales tax in most cities from 8.25 to 8.75% and that revenue would be used for  parks, health clinics, youth programs and jail staffing and would expire after ten years. >> a cool start to our morn. talking to raj mathai in london says it's going to be warmer there. >> he gets all of the gigs. >> i look so forward to his reports. we'll have those for you every morning here on nbc bay area. a live look over san francisco. we're looking through all of the live shots where we're picking up the most cloud cover. by about noon today getting mostly sunny conditions. things change as we head deeper into your work week. temperatures are crisp, at 58 in oakland, 59 to start out in sunnyvale and 58 in san francisco. headed to the 80s by noon in the
