it started, that window there. it's kind of deceiving because the fire actually went behind that as well. when we got here, residents were getting around in blankets, telling us it was scary looking out at the window and seeing flames from a fire that started on mckinnon in a home at about 1:00 this morning and jumped to four alarms because the flames moved so fast, grew so large. one of the challenges is that these buildings are so close together here in san francisco, but basically the fire just kept spreading to other buildings behind the one where it initially started into attics and then another apartment building around the corner on 3rd street. three buildings damaged by fire. one had fire damage outside. two others had water damage, because they had to pour so much water on it. i spoke to one man who got out with his wife and kids. they were sleeping. >> we were sleeping and heard an explosion. we heard something exploded and with that, it was juwe thought

agency that's overseeing construction on the new span for caltrans will be meeting later on today for a full briefing and to try to start to decide where to go from here. we're live on treasure island, i'm arturo santiago for "today in the bay." arguments on the defense of marriage act will begin today in the supreme court. the hearing to challenge doma is the second of two marriage equality cases before the supreme court this week. at issue is section three of defense of marriage act, which defines the term marriage under federal law as a legal union between one man and one woman. yesterday the court heard arguments before and against proposition 8, california's ban on same-sex marriage. justice roberts warned about the court issuing a sweeping change. suppo supporters argue the ban protects what they call the traditional notion of marriage and what they say its primary intent is, children.

marriage, where the state says you're married but the federal government says you're not? the defense of marriage act is the center of the debate today and whether or not the federal government can deny benefits to those people who are in states, live in states or married in states where their marriages are legal. so we'll be looking to see if we can get any sense today, laura, of how the justices are leaning. we're not expecting decisions on either of these cases until later in the term. probably at the very end of the term in june. >> thank you very much, tracie. of course, we'll have continuing coverage on the supreme court's hearing on the defense of marriage act. coming up, we'll also take you live to washington for the latest details on today's heari hearing. we will continue to follow it. 5:42. new details about a large quake in taiwan. we are now learning it has killed one person. authority authorities say the person was hit by a falling wall. 20 other people were injured. the 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck in central taiwan, about
