good morning, everyone, it's 4:30. >> breaking news is in san jose this morning where crews are on the scene of a fire at a mobile home park. happening at the mobile home park near monterey and blossom hill road. just arrived on the scene, what can you tell us? >> that fire is out. a fire was in that double wide home as you can see right there. it started after 2:00 this morning. fire department had it out within 45 minutes. within the past 30 minutes or so, the inside of that space has cooled down enough for firefighters and investigators to get inside to do two things. one, to verify that the man, an elderly man who lives here was not inside at the time. they don't believe he's at home

because, one, the car's not there and based on what the neighbors have been telling me, they believe he's been out of town vacationing. but they want to verify he's not inside, and they wanted to figure out what caused this fire. the fire department tells us when they arrived on the scene. this is what created -- this was a photo tweeted out. this was around 2:10, 2:12. their main goal was to keep this fire contained to this structure and not let spread to other homes on the surrounding perimeter. they succeeded in that. but obviously this home back out here live is destroyed. again, they believe that the elderly man who lives there by himself according to neighbors was not at home at the time because there's no car in the driveway. but things do happen. they are going to go inside just to verify that. reporting live here in south san jose, "today in the bay." >> thank you, bob. our other top story of the morning. the cold weather most of the bay area will be under a freeze warning later today.
