richmond. the claims are starting to pour in. >> reporter: yeah, good morning. we've been told there have been over 1,000 phone calls to chevron about this from people who say they were affected by the fire. so what's next is that we are expected to learn more today about this center that chevron is going to be setting up for those affected by the fire. also, expecting to learn more about repairs to the facility's only crude oil processing unit. so far we've not been given a timeline when it may come back on line after monday's fire that sent a plume of smoke over richmond and beyond in the east bay. industry experts say they think the repair could take months, and that it's possible, though, that some of that work could begin today or tomorrow. a small fire was extinguished yesterday and we're told there are at least five investigations that will happen at the same time, trying to pinpoint the

exact source of the leak and the fire. meantime, we're getting a clearer picture of the scope of the fire from some of the first emergency calls. >> what do you see throughout? we're on the way. >> i see a large plume of white smoke which was immediately followed by a plume of black smoke. and flames going into the air maybe 50 to 60 feet high. >> we're on the way. >> reporter: also chevron has set up an 800 number to assist people saying they suffered medical or property-related expenses. that's 866-260-7881. there is also information at chevronupdates.com. reporting live in richmond, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> 4:37 now. sunnyvale police this morning called off a search for thieves with two getaway cars, officers responding to calls of men in ski masks and found a clerk bound and gagged inside max's
