newly married bride and her eight friends all nurses in their 30s and 40s on their way to a bridal shower at the crown plaza in foster city. one of the women knocked on the partition, said, smoke. at first, he misunderstood, thinking that they wanted to for a cigarette break and quickly realized he needed to pull over as smoke started coming from the back of the vehicle. with smoke already filling the area by the rear doors, the only way out was the small opening that separated the driver from the passengers. he helped three of the women climb through that partition to safety. another was able to get on her own. the other five women, including that bride, noriza fohaus, could not escape as the fire and snoek smokin' engulfed the back of the limousine.

>> reporter: the san mateo county coroner tells us this is one of the worst fatalities he has ever handled. it was clear that those who died were trying to escape. the driver, orville brown, believes the fire might have been caused by an electrical problem. chp has yet to determine a cause. though they tell us the limo owned by limo stop, incorporated, was not involved in an accident, right before this fire started. again, chp is supposed to update us on this investigation in a few hours from now, around 10:00 this morning. reporting live here in san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." it will be interesting to find out how that started. thank you, bob. we will have continuing coverage of the deadly fire including more from the limo driver coming up in a live report at 6:45. we will have the details from this morning's news conference during our news at 11:00. you can get the latest details on our website, nbc bay area.com. a big weekend and late night cinco de mayo celebrations in downtown san jose turned into a police emergency.

we used everything we had to disperse that crowd. >> reporter: several officers had bottles thrown at them. not one officer was hurt. as for the report of the standing, no word on the person's condition this morning. we drove the length of santa clara street. hard to believe just hours ago it was packed with hundreds of people. the storefronts are intact, which is not always the case after cinco day mayo on may 6th. firefighters are looking for hotspots after a grass fire on skyline boulevard near san mateo road just before 4:00 yesterday afternoon. san mateo firefighters say it burned about 100 feet of brush before it was contained. firefighters remain on the scene mopping up and watching for possible flareups. in the meantime, down in southern california, cool air and showers down there should

help firefighters contain that massive wild fire that so far burned 44 miles of the western end of the santa monica mountains. investigators say the fire was probably sparked by an accident at highway 101 near thousand oaks. reports now say 15 homes have been damaged because of this blazing fire that just has been so tough to contain all weekend long. >> it could help that we are going a little precipitation. as you pointed out, christina, earlier, as to the growth. >> it is going to become more of a long-term problem. you are right. we can't catch a break at this point. the good news is, we turned off the hot blow dryer. the santa ana winds have relaxed. onshore. wanted to start with this live picture. you can see that moisture pushing on shore. very thin marine layer at 6:06. 58 degrees to start the day. 60 straight up in san francisco. we have showers continuing to move on shore. very light, most of the

activity, when it comes to our area, is still located offshore. as we head throughout the day, it all works like this. at the end of this broadcast, a little more active. this is the futurecast at 8:00 a.m. you can see these mountains surrounding san jose. the mountains getting some activity that will continue for the first part of the day. we stopped the clock at noon. you are fair game for showers, specially south of the golden gate bridge throughout the first part of the day. then, we are going to increase the chance for showers north of the golden gate bridge. your futurecast tells that story. we stopped the clock at 3:00 p.m. starting to get a little bit of activity up north. the east bay and south bay, the bulk of the moisture will come through. we do need that moisture to keep our atmosphere going at this point. we don't want those dry conditions specially after what we had to deal with, triple digit heat last week. mike looks like he is tracking something serious. >> we are tracking first of all a lot of changes. there you go. we just had our friends adjust the lighting. the sun just came over the top

of the mountains. it was blowing out our shot. now, you see the smooth flow of head lights. nice flow for 101 through san rafael. approaching 101 where there is a crash right there. sounds like a truck with paint equipment. it is a double axle truck. over closer toward 101, you are okay, close to the speed limit. volume just starting to build up. west 880, a commute, crash to the shoulder. not a major concern. you see it slowing past hercules. the bottom is building toward the bottom of your screen. highway 4, eastbound around mccune. we have a crash right there. a single car spun out, a second car hit it. a two-car crash. minor injuries from what i can tell. we will track that for highway 4 and the cut-through. we still have the livermore police department over there.

isabelle at valicitas. it sounds like it is still a problem. we do see slowing in the opposite direction of your commute. okay up toward 580. now, it is slow. west 580, the earlier car fire reported. it sounds like it is an issue. everybody sounds like they are out of the car. it is on the shoulder, west 580 around north green or quenneville. we are looking at the toll plaza and all lights backed up. >> 6:09. the pleasant hill city council will discuss the fate of a popular theater, the city arts dome is slated for demolition to make good for dick's sporting goods stores. they say the 46-year-old theater is a community landmark with historical and cultural value. city council will consider whether to honor that appeal

everywhere. showers come downing here in the bay area and snowfall right now in the sierra nevada. we are going to show it all to you coming up. hard to believe. a beautiful shot. i just saw a peek of traffic in christina's shot. 101, smoothly. traffic just starting the burst for the south bay. we will show you the slow downs as well as what's going on in the tri-valley car fire. thank you very much. time for a quick check of the day's top stories. new video out of syria claiming that it shows israeli rockets hitting a syrian military research center over the weekend. that attack was reportedly to stop weapons from getting to the militant group, hezbollah. several people are under arrest after cinco de mayo celebrations turn vile lenolente streets of san jose. someone was stabbed and a vta bus was vandalized. officers in gear had to come in to clear the rowdy crowd.

>> well will learn more about a deadly limousine fire. the cause of the fire still remains under investigation new rules go into effect on b.a.r.t. that could get some passengers banned "today in the bay's" christie smith is live at the fremont b.a.r.t. station with what is changing. >> reporter: passengers who say they have dealt with unruly. >> people on b.a.r.t. before say they try to handle it themselves saying, i have had enough or leave me alone or trying to walk away. this new rule is aimed at the most violent passengers or people who deface property over and over again and use the trains and stations as public restrooms. union reps say this should help station agents because they are increasingly victims of assault. new state legislation makes it easier for them to issue orders for a month up to a year. after an officer's fatal

shooting, the grant is 2009 in oakland. b.a.r.t. followed a really long process to decide how and when to use it. b.a.r.t. can ban people who are arrested or convicted on b.a.r.t. for threats of violence, lewd acts people have committed, hindering a train's operation or cited three times in a month for defacing property or using the train's restrooms. one rider said he felt lucky he hadn't seen it. >> maybe i am just lucky, i don't know. i have not seen anybody upset at anybody else. if it happens, it is definitely necessary. >> reporter: b.a.r.t. officers have been retrained on how to use this law and how to work with homeless people or those that are mentally ill. a person on the list is basically notified. they have ten days to appeal. only station agents have this. it is not made public. reporting live in fremont, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> thanks, kristy.

momentum may be carrying over from last week. the dow will start just under 15,000. >> they popped over that magic number several times on friday. scott mcgrew, better news on jobs driving the market. that's the conventional wisdom. 15,000 on the dow friday. 7.5% unemployment. keep in mind, though, back when we were down in the 4%, 5%, the dow wasn't this high. that's the number there. the dow crossed the 15 k for the first time friday. nothing magic happens at 15 k. it is sort of interesting and note worthy as a benchmark. you mentioned jobs. we got the latest jobs numbers for april on friday. 166,000 jobs added. that's not an amazingly strong number. it is dragged lower by cuts in government employees. private businesses are hiring. governments are laying off. economists, some of the past month's data. they added jobs with the stroke of a pencil.

3-d printing becomes very important development. it is exactly what it sounds like. a printer that can make actual objects printing something you can hold. this morning, one of the fears was someone would use a 3-d printer to create a working gun. here it is over the weekend. somebody put this together successfully fired it with a real bullet. there is video online. we have not gotten the inventor's permission to use it. only a matter of time where "saturday night live" took on google glass. here is nbc's randall meeks showing them off to seth meyers. >> you just tog the through the menu like this and you have to activate it just a little like this. >> that's pretty cool. >> it's great, because no one knows you are doing it. >> later, they decide they want italian food but he says outside, italian but that changes the google glass's language to italian. hilarity ensues. it is on hulu.

you can check it out for yourself. poking fun of google but great publicity for the company. 6:07. are you okay? >> 6:17. christina loren is back to tell us about raindrops coming our way. >> raindrops coming our way, snow in the sierra nevada. it is the sixth day of may. i only know that because cinco de mayo was yesterday. 6:18. take you outside and show you what we are working with. doppler radar tells the story. look at the spine of the sierra nevada surrounding lake tahoe. snow showers and our snow levels are very high. as you can imagine, temps in the bay area are in the 60s. very unusual to see that. that's exactly what we are working with this morning. we have light isolated activity in the north bay. showers have been pretty light. we have had enough moisture come through to make the highways a little bit on the slick side. you do want to travel cautiously as we head throughout the day. we haven't had any significant rainfall recently. that tends to slicken up the rhodes a little bit.

that losens up all the oil that's been accumulating. as we stop the clock on your futurecast, 9:00 a.m., a little bit more activity on the south bay. mostly going to see the action on the east and south end of the bay area. we might see stray showers up in the north bay as we head throughout the day. basically, pesky showers. you probably want to bring an umbrella with you. not expecting anything too heavy. no puddles or ponding. enough to get your clothes nice and wet. if you don't want that to be the case, bring the umbrella with you. like i said before, we are not expecting much. 73 degrees. maybe somewhere in the vicinity of .500th of an inch or 0.10 of an inch. enough stability for the same deal to apply. mostly along the western facing slopes surrounding san jose. the coastal mountains, could see an isolated thunderstorm or two. we will be watching for that. as we head throughout the end of the week, temperatures stay steady, 70s, inland.

bigger build. the surface streets, crews right up here. a lot of slowing as you are hegd up towards santa clara. looks like it has calmed down. west 880, we have a disabled vehicle up there partially in the lanes. watch it, stay over to your left. the southbound side is where the commute starts to build. there is slowing here in fremont and union city. a typical build off of 238. a smooth drive towards 580 westbound. 680 as well. in livermore, we still have crews working there on that crash. early morning, sounds like an issue and distraction. the earlier car fire sounds like it is out. west 580 at greenville. it is 6:21. this morning, buying viagra just got easier. in a first for the drug industry, the drugmaker, pfizer, will start selling the popular little blue pills to patients on its website. men will still need a prescription to buy viagra. they no longer have to face the pharmacist to get it filled. pfizer says the new strategy

will help combat online pharmacies that sell counterfeit bottles of viagra and other brand name drugs. >> put. >> putting your child's pacifier in your mouth to clean it could have some health benefits. children that put it in their most were two-thirds less likely to develop excema in other kids. the rates were lower for 3-year-olds whose parents put their pacifiers during their mouth during the first six months of life. they believe early exposure to saliva may help stimulate a baby's immune system and lower their risk of developing allergies. >> i have never heard of a parent doing that. it is 6:22. coming up, messing with texas. a preview of tonight's big playoff game against the spurs and a sneak peek at the new arena that could be built on the san francisco waterfront. ♪
