>> a very good morning to you. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> and i'm terry mcsweeney. we have an update to breaking news. >> investigators are trying to find out what sparked an early morning house fire. flames erupted at a home on south 17th street near east san fernando street. you see by the map not far from san jose state. bob is live at the scene. the homeowner says the smoke detector saved his life. >> reporter: that was. he was very adamant about that. the home was severely damaged. this was a little after 2:00 this morning. the fire has been out for some time. the reason you see the smoke come out of the roof the firefighters are doing what is called overhaul where they try to take the burning embers, the timbers apart so they don't restart up and aren't producing

flames. you're seeing the smoke. a man and woman, husband and wife, they live at this home, living here for at least 20 years. he is quite upset over the fact he spent all of that time trying to refurbish the home. it's basically destroyed. but he is grateful he followed simple advice, he had smoke detectors in every room in the house. >> change the batteries twice a year, the whole thing. >> you're adamant. >> yes. got to be. everybody's fine. just i mean, 20 years of work restoring that house. >> reporter: they are not sure what the cause is, the fire department that is. they don't think it's suspicious. but it appears it started either in the dining room, the area in the front, or in the outside wall along the driveway. this did go to a third alarm, they had to call for backup at least two times. and the reason why they had to go through a third alarm this is an older structure, it has what

is called a balloon structure inside which means there is space in between the studs that goes up higher and further than you would find in newer construction which basically allowed the flames to shoot up inside the attic and from there it spread. you can see live where it's venting, the smoke is, from the top of this home here, single story home on south 17th street. again, everyone got out okay. the husband and wife, no firefighters injured. damage to the house to the left but the fire department was able to knock that down pretty quick. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> good thing they made it out. thanks so much. >> growing concern this morning over foster farms chicken after cockroaches were found in a california plant. this is not the first time. the usda is shutting down the plant in the central valley town of livingston, that's between merced and modesto. it employs 3500 people. inspectors say this is the fifth time they spotted the pests

since september. foster farms admits to the problem and saysed maintains an ongoing pest control program. livingston plant along with two others in california were being investigated for a salmonella outbreak. some customers say they will be buying other brands until foster farms is given the all clear. >> it's disheartening to see a brand like foster chicken is not controlling the sanitary requirements of the processing. it's just you know, unacceptable. >> as of right now there is no recall for the chicken from that plant. foster farms rehe'sed this statement saying, quote, a single incident is not acceptable and we are committed to a zero tolerance pollty. >> the man accused of kidnapping and killinging sierra lamar may enter a plea. garcia torres was arrested in may 2012 on murder charges even though lamar's body has never

been found. lamar disappeared on her way to school in morgan hill in march of that year. garcia torres' plea has been delayed because lawyers on both sides are still sifting through evidence. he is also charged with carjacking and attempted kidnapping related to the attack on three women back in 2009. >> breaking news out of milpitas, police on the hunt for three armed men after an overnight home invasion robbery. it happened on tahoe drive. peggy bunker is live in milpitas. what are police telling you? >> reporter: good morning to you. we're at the milpitas police station, we've been talking to them about this event that occurred overnight, very scary for the homeowners. this happened after midnight as you mentioned when three armed men stormed into a house on tahoe drive, the south end of milpitas, and this is what we know so far about the situation. you can look at the neighborhood here. a very quiet neighborhood, not a lot going on.

just after midnight that's when the three suspects burst into the home, armed, confronted the residents who were quite terrified. the trouble is we don't have a good suspect description and despite a quick response to the scene they were there in two minutes, the three suspects did get away and this is who they are looking for. take a listen. >> further investigation revealed three unknown male -- unknown race male suspects entered the house armed with firearms and confronted the residents inside. >> reporter: in fact, there was a huge response to this quiet neighborhood. the entire shift of police officers, the fire department responded to this 911 call. there was a minor injury to one of the residents during a scuffle with these three intruders, they were treated by the fire department and went home and stayed at the house. right now of course police are looking for the three suspects. they don't have a good description because they say the residents actually weren't able to provide a very good description. it was dark, it was after

midnight. that's what they are working on this morning. >> thanks very much. the flu is spreading quickly across the bay area. one local hospital has run out of rooms. regional medical center in san jose setting up a large tent to treat patients with flu symptoms. they say the flu is hitting adults unusually hard and the h1n1 so called swine flu is more rev lent this season. this is the first time the hospital had to set up the flu tent. >> checking the forecast with meteorologist christina loren. a little bit of something for everyone i'd say in the next what, ten days. >> seven days even. we have some major swings in our temperature. finally much needed moisture in our atmosphere. we need that for our air quality and any sort of relief from that drought is going to help. we're watching these cells develop. we're noticing that moisture is

intensifying, more flashes of green. keep in mind there are showers around, nothing heavy but yeah, enough to get the roadways slick for 10 to 15 minutes. mike's going to be on top of that all morning long as he always is. let me show you what we are expecting. throughout the day take to the your future cast, the best chance for showers is happening now. we're going to keep that chance going. as we progress deeper into the day, the storm track sits to our north. it's going to be cool but really this is our only window for showers. we get a better window into this weekend. check that out on your seven-day forecast. let's get in your microclimates for this thursday. 60s in the south bay, you're going to see plenty of cloud cover over our local mountains, the western facing slopes. the peninsula, san francisco, temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s. lots of low clouds for most of the day and potentially we could see delays out of sfo because of

101 slowing northbound from mckee up to 880. traditional slowing. the wings play against the sharks at the tank. you'll see crowds later. we're watching for our couch in the roadway, how 85 as you approach that transition, have to clear that. i'll let you know about traffic breaks. back to you. >> that's good news. silicon valley auto show starts and among the cars one looking forward to your drive in to work. we'll take you inside. >> that's a special car if it can do that. governor chris christie expected to speak about a political scandal. his staff is accused of causing gridlock on a jersey freeway as part of a payback to a political rival.

i'm completely disheartened. >> reporter: in the e-mails this woman, a top christie aide, tells one of the governor's high school bud es at the port authority, time for some traffic problems in fort lee. got it the official replied. is it wrong that i'm smiling, eerd says. someone jokes that the children stuck in traffic are children of christie's political opponent. >> got to come clean and say what he knew and when he knew it. >> last month governor christie denied having anything to do with. >> absolutely not. >> but now with the e-mails officials say he's got explaining to do. >> either he doesn't know what's going on in his front office or there is lying going on. >> in a new statement christie says his staff misled him to the e-mails are completely inappropriate and that he knew nothing about it. david wildstein, a friend ever christies who worked at the port authority, he is scheduled to testify today before a committee in new york but he is fighting that subpoena saying that he
